Moog Minimoog Model D | The archetype for a reason

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Exploring the classic.

00:00 - Intro
00:50 - One oscillator, then two, then three
03:58 - Ghost lead
04:24 - Triangle beauty
05:14 - High fifth bass
05:58 - Noise and glide
08:33 - Oscillator 3 drone 1
09:45 - Oscillator 3 drone 2
10:25 - Oscillator 3 drone 3
13:00 - Subdued single square
13:58 - Fifth arp with key tracking
15:31 - LFO finale

This is an exploration of the Moog Minimoog Model D, no goals other than to have fun. The Walrus Slöer adds reverb and sounds beautiful. There was no additional processing to the sound. And what a beautiful sound it is.

The Minimoog Model D is one of the two main instruments that started my love of synths in the first place. I've long wanted one, and the reissue's wood looked especially beautiful, but I had to wait until I saw it at the right price. That happened last week, and here we are.

Yes, I know there are clones, and I know those clones can sound very very good. I'm not telling you that this is somehow magically better; it probably isn't. But I can tell you it feels like an instrument, it's beautiful to the touch, it has a heft to it, and the wood makes it feel like an installation piece or furniture or something that occupies physical space in the environment. I feel like I'm sharing the room with it, a creative environment, and that's a harder thing to quantify.

Some full songs will be coming with it at some point. How could they not? It's just incredible.

Thanks for listening."

The past, present & future of AJH Synth // Celebrating 10 years of the MiniMod Eurorack range

video upload by DivKid

"I recently learnt that AJH Synth were celebrating 10 years since the release of their first modules with the MiniMod Eurorack range. Back then I was immediately taken by the quality of sound, vintage tone and open modular architecture capable of taking things way beyond the classic Moog MiniMoog Model D sound. I've got to know Allan over this past decade and we've worked together loads on modules that utterly nail that lush vintage analogue sound and also modern forward thinking new ideas ... so I jumped at the idea of making a celebration video!"

"Minimoog Model D with Kenton MIDI conversion > This minimoog has been recently serviced and plays very well. It has a Kenton MIDI conversion which allows it to be played over MIDI. The top panel is in good condition but the case has quite a few knocks, especially on the left side - see the photos. The origin of the red paint and red knobs is unknown but is a professional job. The case was obviously dismantled and painted inside and out. There are two non-standard silver knobs for the master tuning and Osc 2 tuning. These are 'vernier' knobs which allow for very fine tuning. They have 10 turns instead of the original knob's 1 turn.

The voltage plaque says 110V but it was converted a long time ago to UK /euro voltage with a UK plug.

In response to questions about this, all I can say about the modifications is that they were there when I bought it in around 1990 - I find the fine tuning knobs really useful. I don't have any internal photos but the guy that serviced it said that some circuit boards have been changed, I believe it has the later oscillator boards. VEMIA can collect and pack: 18GBP."
