001:model D - a MIDI controller for Minimoog Model D VSTs Seeking Funding on Kickstarter



via Kickstarter

001:model D by ΔMIDI is a dedicated, physical MIDI controller for the world’s most popular synthesizer – Moog Minimoog Model D’s VST plugins.

001:model D allows you to take full control over any Minimoog-based VST available on the market. And thanks to being open-source, anyone can freely modify or tweak its behaviour. This makes the 001:model D a truly universal MIDI controller.

Why dedicated controller is better than knobs built into a MIDI keyboard?

Due to the fact that every knob and every switch is an accurate representation of what is happening on the screen, the exact representation of what sound synthesizer you are operating produces. After spending a while with the 001:model D, you won’t just be able to use ordinary knobs, you will discover a different level of control. It’s all because of that 1:1 layout.

Controls

21 analogue potentiometers
6 6-stage knobs
15 toggle switches
2 lever switches
3 LED indicators
44 physical controls in total.

Sync button for instant settings transfer.

Map button for changing MIDI mapping on the fly.

Open-source hardware†
Eurorack-compatible design‡
Black and white finish, gold lettering with matched knob and USB cable color‡

Dimensions: 425 mm x 110 mm x 48 mm (16.75″ x 4.3″ x 1.9″)
Weight: 1100 g (2.4 lbs).
†001:model D will become fully open-source after Kickstarter Campaign

‡Eurorack model and colour options availability depends on Stretch Goal completion

But hey, there’s more!

After completing the main goal - collecting funds to start the 001:model D production, we have Stretch Goals – for making a white 001:model D, also with gold plated lettering; and something really special - a Eurorack compatible model.
