A Timeless Recreation of the Most Important Synthesizer in History

Built to last a lifetime, each new Minimoog Model D delivers the revered quality, undefinable feel, and authentic sound of a pristine vintage Moog.

The coveted sound engine and audio signal path remain identical to the Model D that Bob Moog and his team engineered in the 1970s. This latest edition of the instrument also includes the series of popular functional modifications from the 2016 production run that expanded this storied synthesizer’s capabilities. These modifications include a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square waveshapes, a premium Fatar keybed with velocity and after pressure available via top panel CV jacks with onboard trimpots, MIDI integration, improved pitch wheel calibration, and a mixer feedback modification which allows the Minimoog Model D to overdrive and scream with the turn of a knob.

Plus, for the first time in its history, the Minimoog Model D now features a spring-loaded pitch wheel that returns to center upon release. This enhancement—a popular artist request—allows for improved playability and wild performance flourishes. This newest edition also includes updates to the MIDI functionality, allowing for improved modern studio integration.

The 3-oscillator, monophonic, analog synthesizer is securely housed in a locally sourced Appalachian cherry cabinet with a legacy-inspired walnut stain and hand-finished aluminum chassis. Sounding as vibrant and deep as ever, its legendary low-pass ladder filter, powerful oscillators, and rich saturating mixer retain the exact component placement and through-hole design of a 1970s-era Minimoog Model D.

The first production run of the latest Minimoog Model D reissue is now shipping to trusted Moog dealers and distributors within the US and internationally. It is available to pre-order at Perfect Circuit for $4,999 USD.

Along with today’s instrument announcement, Moog has released several new high-quality accessories, clothing, and collectibles perfect for any Model D owner or aficionado.

Do you have to show proof that you are a partner in a legal or accountancy firm before they will sell it to you? 😄
Just send them a shot of your lounge with multiple Fender Custom Shop guitars hanging on the walls and you are good to go.
They don't want people to actually play these! Stick it in a glass presentation case in the lobby.

That would be a nice classic to own! But for $4,999?

You can get this for $99! :)

$77 at Thomann https://www.thomannmusic.com/synapse_audio_the_legend.htm

Or you can get Cherry Audio's Miniverse for $39. https://cherryaudio.com/products/miniverse

I tried the demos of The Legend and Miniverse, and they are quite close. I liked the filter sweep in the Miniverse better. Check it out in the free demo!

But not even close was the Arturia Mini V3, which I happen to have in the V Collection. :)

Remember there's also a good one from Softube, I think it's called Model 72.

That one is on sale at Plugin Boutique right now for $81.87. Regular list is $159. https://www.softube.com/model-72-synthesizer-system

After comparing the Softube Model 72 demo with The Legend and the Miniverse, I would have to say that I would still place my money on the Cherry Audio Miniverse.

The Model 72 is very nice, but IMO not twice the money nice! :)

I'd wait personally as it does go on sale for $45 or less and I'd say we'll see that between now and BF.  They have had some better deals than that too!
