Production Room: Moog Minimoog Model D

Image for this Article

Here at Production Room we have a serious addiction to all things synthesized, both old and new. Our Analogue Collection has been growing over the past few years and now we are very pleased to announce a new addition to our Moog family, the Moog Minimoog Model D with Ribbon Strip Controller and Manual signed by Robert Moog himself.

With a Moog collection featuring a Moog Prodigy, Moog Rogue and Moog Opus 3, the Minimoog Model D was the perfect addition, previously part of a private collection the Minimoog has never been gigged and still adorns the original plastic cover on the front panel.

Production Room Analogue Collection

Production Room was founded in 2008 and has quickly become one of the UK's leading Music Technology Suppliers. The 6,000 square foot showroom in Leeds has one of the widest ranges of Recording Studio Equipment in Europe giving customers the opportunity to get their hands on all the latest equipment in the music industry.

As well as offering all the latest products on the market Production Room have brought together a selection of the finest keyboards and synthesizers from the past 40 years. The Analogue Collection represents a love for technology and innovation regardless of age or style.

Moog Minimoog Model D

The original Moog modular synthesizers were sold as pieces of professional audio equipment, they were made to order, and were considered to be too complex and high-tech for an average musician. The concept for the Minimoog was to take some of the basic features of the modular instruments and integrate them into a compact and simplified performance synthesizer that could be programmed without patch cords.

Designing a portable synthesizer was a new challenge for Moog; not knowing what it should look like the design was given to the Moog Industrial Engineers who created industrialised computer terminal like machines. These designs were rubbished by Moogs musician friends, who wanted natural wood and simple lines.

After a series of prototypes the Moog Minimoog Model D was the only model to be put into production, featuring three voltage-controlled oscillators, a mixer, noise source, VCA and a warm resonant filter which could be controlled with a dedicated EG, the Mini also had an external input which allowed external signals to be processed through the filter, as well as a voltage controlled 'S-Trigger' jack which allowed the Mini to be hooked up to a ribbon, sample-and-hold or percussion controller.

Released in 1971 the Minimoog became the most popular synthesizer of all time, famous for its fat sound and incredible filters.
