On the back.

via the seller: "The ultimate virtual analog MiniMoog simulator! 12 note polyphony! Control panel layout true to the original classic synth!

Yes, this is the one . . . the virtual analog synth that is widely considered one of the best (if not the best) Minimoog clones ever produced. Google search the Minimax and check the reviews online . . . . by and large, you will find overwhelming praise for how closely this module captures the character of the classic Minimoog. I personally own several current and classic analog synths (including three Moogs), and this little beast really comes darn close to the original (I've also owned a number of virtual analogs, and this is the only one I've held on to over the years!). The control panel is laid out just like the original . . . a little smaller, but still plenty of room to manipulate the knobs. Two additional knobs handle velocity control of the two envelopes. The MiniMax also features dual digital FX processors to handle delay and modulation effects. Best of all, it's 12 note polyphonic! In poly mode, this synth does a great job of emulating the sort of sounds that were capable on a Memory Moog."

Kind of interesting to think about. The Memorymoog was Curtis chip based and not discrete like the original Minimoog. This being a respected emulation of the Minimoog, how does it compare?
