For the first time since 1981, Moog Music has officially resumed production of Minimoog Model D, which was the world's first portable synthesizer and served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed. First released in the early 1970s, the instrument gained worldwide acclaim for combining the colossal sound of Moog's large-format modular synthesizers with the accessibility of pre-wired modules. Over the last 40 years, some of the world's most influential artists — including Trent Reznor, Gary Numan, Dr. Dre, Keith Emerson and Herbie Hancock, among many others — have shaped their unique sounds and forged new musical genres using the Minimoog Model D. This valuable sonic tool is now made available both to veteran synthesists and to the next generation of electronic pioneers.
Each Model D is lovingly handcrafted by the employee-owners at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC. This three-oscillator monophonic analog synthesizer is securely housed in a locally-sourced Appalachian hardwood enclosure and hand-finished aluminum chassis. The circuit boards retain the exact component placement and through-hole design of a beloved 1970s-era Model D.
Though no changes have been made to the original sound engine or audio signal path, Minimoog Model D now includes several functional upgrades that expand its sonic capabilities. These modifications include a premium Fatar keybed with velocity sensitivity and after pressure available via top panel CV jacks, a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square waveshapes, CV outputs for pitch, gate, velocity and after pressure, basic MIDI integration, and a mixer overload modification, which when engaged allows Model D to conjure even thicker and more overdriven sounds.
- 3 vintage Moog oscillators
- Classic Moog low pass ladder filter with resonance
- Analog circuit boards recreated using original designs and component placement
- Custom reissued transistors critical to sound quality and character
- Military spec precision resistors
- Precision Linear System matched JFETs in oscillators
- Classic thermoset gnarled pitch and mod wheels
- CV outputs added for pitch, aftertouch, velocity and gate (aftertouch and velocity have dedicated output level attenuators)
- Dedicated analog triangle/square wave LFO and filter envelope added as modulation sources, as well as an external modulation CV input
- Mixer overload modification: the output of the Minimoog Model D is automatically scaled and fed back to the external audio input for instantly available overdrive
- Improved circuit board connectors for touring reliability
- Fatar TP-9 keybed with velocity and aftertouch
- MIDI in, out and thru
