Analog Legacy - emulating vintage synthesizers in Reaktor

"Message from the builder:

As Reaktor programmer I have been developing synthesizer ensembles with a vintage touch for many years. After a decade locked into the labs I've now managed to finalize a new isomorphic algorithm called Analog Legacy. It's a break away from the perfect generated sounds produced by standard software synths and I'm convinced it will change the world of emulation analog synthesizers.
Just before the release of the ensemble that was the result of a decade of development - then the dominant of software instruments, NI Corporation, releases the Monark. Users were raving about the detail of emulation and character of the instrument. Is it now possible for an independent developer to release an analog emulation of the Minimoog based on the Reaktor platform without being accused of theft?
An ensemble using the Analog Legacy technology has been uploaded to the Reaktor User Library. Will this this ensemble be purged by the Master Control or will it escape through the portal?"

Minimojo - Minimoog emulation built in Reaktor

Published on Mar 17, 2014

"Minimojo is an emulation of the Minimoog built in Reaktor, available for all registered product owners in the NI Reaktor User Library. http://www.native-instruments.com/en/...

The Minimojo is not in any way a copy of MONARK. The builder did not have access to or ever used MONARK during the making of Minimojo. Instead, the old ensemble Minimood made by NI in 1999, which has then been modified by several users, has been used as the starting point. The basic structure is be recognizable from that early ensemble.
As the Minimoog is the most emulated synthesizer the world probably don't need yet another one. Minimojo should first of all be seen as a proof of concept; how to emulate the should of vintage synthesizers using the Reaktor environment.

The technology developed for this is called Analog Legacy. Analog Legacy is the theory of modulating all functions in a synthesizer at all frequencies to emulate the sound of vintage synthesizers. The key is to find the right balance of the modulation depth for each frequency. Minimojo is the first attempt to use this theory in practice."
