AJH Synth MINI MOD REVIEW: AJH Synth MiniMod System (FULL) Review Eurorack Modular Synth (2018)

Published on Feb 19, 2018 SonicVoltage

"AJH Synth MiniMod REVIEW and Demo. Eurorack Modular Synth based on MiniMoog Model D with added features.

I spent time with the AJH Synth Mini Mod System of Eurorack Modules to test its features, create a few modular synth patches and get hands-on for this Eurorack Modular Review Video.

I also made a quick layered-track recording of a song with all sounds coming from the MiniMod System.

In this video review I go over all the Mini Mod System ‘extra’ features that AJH Synth added to this ‘Moog Model D based’ eurorack synth. Is this the ultimate eurorack modular system or did they mess things up?

See Video Review Index Below
Towards the end of this Description I have included links to some of my other reviews of AJH Synth Mini Mod Modules and additional AJH Synth Eurorack Modules featured in this video.
