Cherry Audio has kicked off its “Bob Moog Appreciation Month” with the release of Minimode, a painstaking virtual emulation of the legendary Minimoog Model D analog synthesizer.
When we set out to create Minimode, we focused on a single principle: absolute authenticity. We studied and measured every nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio. The interface is a meticulous recreation of the original, from the maple cabinet and textured surface to the unmistakable knobs and switches.
The resulting monophonic tones are so mighty that we could not resist adding one particular enhancement: we’ve made it easy to dial in two, four, eight, or sixteen polyphonic voices guaranteed to bring the house down. Minimode also includes a library of over 250 presets, and we’ve added a new feature to Minimode: the ability to save custom MIDI controller mappings to individual presets or globally, or both.
