However each of the emulations has their own unique extra features which make them different. I have several Minimoog emulations (Artutia, NI, Softube) but use Minimonsta the most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Arturia Mini V, NI Monark and U-He Diva, not to mention the Moog Minimoog model D on the iPad so pretty much have it covered. Interesting that you use Minimonsta the most. This does sound great and has over 6000 factory patches including many from Rick Wakeman 😲 At that price it's very tempting. I found this comparison from Starsky Carr interesting although it's nearly 5 years old.

MusicMan 631 Posted February 1 I'd almost consider this one, but pretty sure there's no VST3 and has a smell of abandonware, so it's possibly never coming, or might be a paid update. It's listed above and on the site, but some Mac users might want to pay particular attention to this point: *Minimonsta DOES NOT WORK with macOS 11 (Big Sur).

simon 2,461 Posted February 1 Gforce have said that that all 'non-legacy' plugs will be updated to VST3 the question is 'what is legacy' ? the suggestion is that they are: Oddity, impOSCar and original M-Tron. It would be a real shame if these weren't updated but nothing is set in stone. Although worth bearing it in mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a demo version on their website at the bottom of this web page https://www.gforcesoftware.com/products/minimonsta/ It does sound nice, and those RW patches are from many of his solo and Yes songs. The UI looks tiny on my Ultrawide monitor and I cannot see any way to resize. Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fret_man 312 Posted February 1 With all these extreme MiniMonsta sales going on recently I bet they will soon release a MiniMonsta2 and give us an upgrade path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fret_man 312 Posted February 1 But they DID give impOSCar owners a cheaper upgrade path to impOSCar2. Hoping this happens with MiniMonsta, if indeed this is in the works. Just speculating... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZincT 2,530 Posted February 1 I hope you are right @fret_manbut I can see that it could go either way. 🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
