ΔMIDI (Delta-midi) has announced its first public project, a dedicated hardware MIDI controller designed to work with Minimoog Model D virtual instruments.
The 001:model D offers full control of Minimoog-based virtual instruments such as the Arturia Mini V, Native Instruments Monark, UAD Minimoog, GForce Minimonsta, and others. The controller will work in an DAW.
Thanks to the open nature of this project (we will make this controller open-source hardware after a successful campaign), it is possible to adjust or tweak every aspect of 001:model D, and use it as a universal MIDI beast with a handful of knobs and switches. What distinguishes the 001:model D and makes it worthy of attention, is the 1:1 layout of what we see in the VST, which allows for much easier control of the virtual synthesizer, and therefore control of the entire instrument.
Currently, we offer a black version, with gold lettering; but the ‘stretch goals’ on the Kickstarter campaign may bring a white variant and a Eurorack-mountable 001:model D.
