Contact Minimoog Model D Synthesizer Support

I think this synth is amazing except for not really knowing what your parameters off the knob changes really are.. without a parameter window(monitor), while making parameter-knob changes, knowing what you’re doing will rely completely on ear as opposed to visually seeing it happen by the numbers and being able to dial in your desired results. I mean I know this is an older synth from the 70s, but if you’re gonna bring it into the present at 2018, then give it the benefit of present technology and evolve this platform instead of keeping it stagnant with the same limitations as the physical synth from the 70s.

Also, this needs way more in app purchases for sounds/patches.. maybe every couple of months a new batch??!?? Not everyone is a sound designer and could use more professionally made patches so they can focus on music creation instead of sound creation.

Moog, help us out here..

Wow amazing app! I now have moog in my arsenal!... I would have rated 5*s but there is no midi mapping for the MOD WHEEL .. after emailing support, who very very quickly got back to me!! (Great customer service!) ...

they informed my that the mod wheel is set to standard CC#1 (you need to know that if you have a problem)

My issue was using the akai mpk mini, it has a joystick for pitch bend and mod wheel (X and Y axis) and if using the joystick to control the mod wheel it would not go back to original position (the joystick has a spring to bring it back to center).... so my conclusion was to go to the midi mapping of the akai midi controller... set the midi for all programs joystick to CC#2 value up and down to 0 (zero).

Let me ask you a question: is the Roland JP-8000 a real Roland synthesizer? It’s a classic piece of hardware, even if inside is a digital recreation of the classic Jupiter sound.

And so here we have Moog's Minimoog app, a digital recreation of the classic Model D sound. And as far as I’m concerned, this is it. This is a real Moog synthesizer. If you want the lovingly-crafted hardware, you’ll have to pay a lot more, but if lovingly-crafted software fits your needs, it’s right here for an unprecedentedly low price.

Caveats: Preset management needs some work. Unlike Moog's Model 15 app, there’s no way to create your own folders, and weirdly, anything you save goes in the same category as the last preset you loaded (there’s no init patch). So create a bass after you loaded a pad preset, and there’s your bass patch, right next to all the pad factory presets. The AU works great, although the UI looks too small on an iPad Pro.

Still, even with these annoyances, this is an incredible instrument and an unbelievable value. If you love synths, you have to have to pick this up.
