Key Features
The Universal Audio Moog Minimoog is an incredibly accurate and inspiring emulation of the iconic Moog Minimoog Model D synthesizer. Developed exclusively for Universal Audio in partnership with Moog Music, this software instrument captures every nuance, anomaly, and quirk of the original hardware. With its precise modelling of the classic Moog oscillators and ladder filters, as well as discrete transistor VCA modelling, the Minimoog UAD Instrument faithfully reproduces the fat and musically expressive analog synth sounds that have made the Minimoog a staple in music for decades. Artists such as Parliament-Funkadelic, Kraftwerk, and Dr. Dre have all relied on the Minimoog's iconic textures to shape their sound.
Not only does the Minimoog UAD Instrument offer ultra-realistic and responsive Minimoog sounds, but it also provides a range of advanced features for further exploration. From Moog's signature self-oscillation and extreme resonance to switchable note priority, legato, velocity sensitivity, and more, this instrument allows for endless sonic possibilities.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and backed by two years of intensive research, the Universal Audio Moog Minimoog is the only Minimoog officially endorsed and licensed by Moog Music. Its inherently musical tone, enhanced feature set, and perfect mix capabilities make it a must-have for any music producer or enthusiast looking to add that iconic Minimoog sound to their repertoire.

No expense was spared when crafting the Universal Audio Minimoog. A team of DSP engineers worked closely with Moog Music to undertake extensive research and circuit modelling of three vintage Minimoogs. Through rigorous listening tests, Universal Audio identified a single "Golden Unit" that embodied the spirit of Bob Moog's most famous synthesizer.
Using custom robotics for precise knob measurements, each module of the Minimoog was fully emulated to capture the module-to-module coupling and impedance. The result is an awe-inspiring UAD Instrument with near-zero latency and all the personality of the original hardware.
When you open the Minimoog in your DAW, get ready to be inspired by the unmistakable growl, fatness, and rich distortion that Moog's iconic ladder filters and oscillators are known for. The detailed modelling also replicates the pitch-tracking anomalies of the original Minimoog, ensuring an authentic and unique sound experience. Even the coveted "feedback" effect, created by looping the Minimoog's output to the input, is faithfully reproduced.
Perfectly capturing the midrange punch, high-end presence, and sumptuous low end of the Minimoog, it effortlessly blends into any mix, just like the original hardware. With this level of realism and fidelity, the Minimoog UAD Instrument is sure to unleash your creativity and elevate your music production.
On top of faithfully emulating the original Minimoog, Universal Audio has included many of the custom mods that power users utilized on their hardware units. These mods greatly expand the Minimoog's sonic palette, giving you even more creative possibilities. From switchable note priority and legato to sample and hold, extra LFO, and more, these features are "period correct," paying homage to the modifications that original Minimoog units underwent. While they offer modern music makers added functionality, they can easily be bypassed for those seeking a 100 vintage playing experience.
Please note that you may notice some visual differences between the hardware Minimoog and the software instrument. These changes were made to either enhance functionality or expand upon the original hardware's capabilities. For example, the absence of a headphone jack and volume controls in the plugin is due to these functions being handled by your DAW and/or audio interface. The Modifications panel below the main controls is where you'll find these additional features that set our software instrument apart.
With the Extra LFO/Sample & Hold with tempo sync, switchable note priority and legato options, modulation source selection, modulation amount knob, pitch bend range, and velocity sensitivity for volume, filter cutoff, and filter envelope amount, the Minimoog UAD Instrument offers a level of versatility that goes beyond the limitations of the original hardware. Whether you're a vintage purist or a modern music maker, the choice is yours. The Universal Audio Minimoog gives you the power to shape your sound with precision and authenticity. Enter a world of limitless sonic possibilities with our UAD Instrument.
