A new Minimoog VST controller: SFC-mini V4 Intro


video upload by mylarmelodies

"The SoundForce SFC-mini V4 is a new dedicated physical hardware controller for Minimoog-style VST plugins. This video introduces the device and how it works, what's new in this model, the special bonus features that work with the Arturia Mini V4 plugin, and much more.

This video serves as an official intro to the SFC-mini V4, and was funded by SoundForce. Based in the Netherlands, SoundForce have been in business for more than 10 years making controllers and eurorack modules."

Press release follows:


SoundForce is introducing the SFC-Mini V4, a high-end, dedicated MIDI controller designed for the world’s leading Minimoog software emulations. Featuring more than 65 hands-on controls arranged in an authentic Minimoog-style layout, it delivers a true analog-inspired workflow for modern producers. Representing over a decade of SoundForce MIDI-controller innovation, the SFC-Mini V4 is the most advanced and accurate Minimoog-focused controller yet.

Build quality
The SFC-Mini V4 is assembled in the Netherlands using high-quality components sourced from Europe and Asia. Its case is built entirely from powder-coated sheet metal. Both sides are fitted with elegant 8 mm walnut wood panels for a vintage-inspired look.

Backed by over ten years of MIDI-hardware expertise, the SFC-Mini V4 is part of SoundForce’s newest generation of controllers. Its pots, sliders, and switches were chosen after extensive research and experimentation to deliver outstanding tactile response, long-lasting performance, and rock-solid reliability during assembly.

Plugin support:
Because the SFC-Mini V4 outputs standard MIDI CC messages, it can be paired with any software or hardware that supports MIDI CC mapping. However, since each plugin has its own UI and MIDI implementation, the firmware provides dedicated plugin modes to ensure proper integration. The SFC-Mini V4 has specific plugin modes supporting the following plugins:

Arturia Mini V4 (incl 2-way)
Arturia Mini V3/iMini
GForce Minimonsta 2
Cherry Audio Miniverse
UA Minimoog
Softube Model 72
NI Monark
Synpase Audio The Legend HZ
Plugiator Minimax

2-way communication:
Two-way communication means the SoundForce controller and a supported plugin can talk to each other in both directions, instead of the controller only sending MIDI data one-way. At this point, this feature is supported with the Arturia Mini V4.

In practice, that creates a far more “hardware-like” experience when using software synths. Change a preset, load a new instance on another track, move a parameter with your mouse and the controller automatically syncs its LED switches, and ingest the pot data in memory. When the received pot data from the plugin differs from the actual pot position on the controller, 3 options similar to Ableton take over modes can be chosen from: jump, pick-up and smoothing.

Quick No-Talk Synth Demo

video upload by Autodafe

"Here’s a fast, no-talk demo of SQUID-3 (SQ-3), the new synth by Acustica Audio. This video is all about listening: no voice-over, no explanations — just sounds and visuals so you can get a first impression of what this synth can do.

In this demo I’m simply showcasing a selection of patches and musical textures. I’m not going into technical details or deep sound-design features this time — think of this as a relaxed, musical overview rather than a tutorial.

If you’re curious about the engine, workflow, or a more in-depth breakdown, feel free to leave a comment and I may cover it in a future video. For now, just sit back and enjoy the sound."



SQUID-3 is a forward-thinking synthesizer born from Acustica’s groundbreaking MAREA series, available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Built to respond better than a real instrument, SQUID-3 gives you the speed to create instantly, and the depth to design without limits. It’s fluid, focused, and sonically honest.

This isn’t a vintage emulation, or a collection of pretty presets under reverb.

SQUID-3 fuses algorithmic modeling with advanced convolution, capturing the behavior of analog gear - better than gear does.

SQUID-3 is not another virtual synth.

It’s a new breed - designed to sound finished, even before the FX.
Every stage of its engine, from oscillator to output, was built to make raw synthesis sound like a mastered record.

SQUID-3 is available in two separate editions:

• the Standard (3-D, multi-page) edition, hardware-inspired interface with depth, lighting, and tactile realism for an immersive studio feel.

• a Flat (2-D version, single-page) edition, A clean, flat design optimized for speed, built for maximum graphic efficiency, where all controls are summarized on a single page"
