Taking full advantage of the iOS platform, the Minimoog Model D App incorporates a number of inspiring sound creation tools and capabilities not present on its analog antecedent. New functions include the ability to play chords with up to four-note polyphony, an easy-to-use arpeggiator for rhythmic pattern creation, a real time looping recorder with unlimited overdubbing capacity, a tempo-synchronizable stereo ping pong delay module, and the Bender -- a wide-range stereo time modulation effect module.

The Minimoog Model D App also supports AUv3 Audio Unit extensions, which allows multiple instances of this powerful instrument to be used simultaneously within compatible iOS apps like Apple’s GarageBand®.

A BRIEF HISTORY
Introduced by Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed. It gave users the ability to design their own sounds, translating imagination into reality. The Minimoog’s portability, affordability and accessibility made it the go-to instrument for musicians looking to expand beyond the traditional sounds of the time. Bernie Worrell used the Minimoog Model D to establish Parliament Funkadelic’s futuristic funk sound. Kraftwerk employed the Minimoog Model D on the successful concept album Autobahn, sparking an entirely new genre. Gary Numan replaced his live band’s guitars with Minimoog Model Ds, creating the prototype for industrial music. The classic sound of the Minimoog Model D can be heard on Bob Marley’s Catch A Fire, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic; Detailed in the mini-doc series “A Brief History Of The Minimoog”.

Great app tons of enjoyment
seanguz

This app is very well done. They did a great job in recreating the analog synth. Endless possibilities due to ability to change every aspect of the sound. My only complaint it’s that I wish there were more connectivity to different DAWs, something like garage band which right now is the only real iOS DAW available. On its own this app is beautifully done, more connectivity would make this app perfect. 10/10 would recommend!

The range and tune-ability of this synth is addicting. Also, the inclusion of an a arpeggiator and loop make it concert ready.

Awesome

I used to own a original model d. I’ll always like hardware better , but with the added features arp, delay etc. I can make this thing sound like a cross between a Jupiter 8 (which I also used to own) and the minimoog. This app really is that versatile ,and sounds awesome!

I was introduced to the Moog at a studio in Syracuse in 1970. It too an entire room to have about half? the capabilities of this app. A very deep instrument. I’m far from even comprehending much of its top surface. Endless potential, thanks for creating this.
