Universal Audio Moog Minimoog

Universal Audio Moog Minimoog | Legendary Analog Synthesizer, Perfect Recreation of a Classic Sound

The Most Iconic Synthesizer in History, Reborn in Your DAW

The Moog Minimoog Model D is undoubtedly the most iconic synthesizer in history, its birth completely transforming the landscape of modern music. From Kraftwerk to Parliament-Funkadelic, from Yes to Dr. Dre, the Minimoog's fat, musical, and expressive analog synthesizer sound has long been the gold standard against which all other synthesizers are measured. Now, Universal Audio has partnered with Moog Music to exclusively create this Moog Minimoog virtual instrument for the UAD platform, utilizing industry-leading expertise in circuit modeling, synthesis, and signal processing. It's not just a simple sample; it thoroughly captures every nuance, irregularity, and unique "quirk" of the original hardware.

Through rigorous circuit-level analysis of three carefully selected vintage Minimoogs, and by designating a "golden unit" as the benchmark, we ensured that this UAD instrument faithfully reproduces the full personality of Bob Moog's most famous design. From the iconic Ladder Filter to the subtle interactions of the oscillators, and even the classic "Feedback" distortion effect created by looping the output signal back to the input, every detail has been faithfully recreated. This Moog Minimoog plugin is not just a sonic imitation; it's a soul transplant, allowing you to experience the creative inspiration of true analog synthesis and the joy of near-zero latency performance in a digital environment.
