Get your Hands on the Holy Grail of Analog Synths

Unquestionably the most iconic synthesizer ever made, the Moog Minimoog Model D changed the face of modern music. From Kraftwerk to Parliament-Funkadelic, Yes to Dr. Dre, the Minimoog's fat, musically expressive analog synth sounds are the standard by which all other synths are judged.

Experience Moog Sound with the World’s Only Authentic Emulation

Developed in an exclusive partnership with Moog Music, the Moog Minimoog UAD Instrument thoroughly captures every nuance, anomaly, and quirk of the original hardware, using Universal Audio's industry‑leading expertise in circuit modeling.

An Analog Synth for the People

The Moog Minimoog Model D was introduced in 1970, when "synthesizer" meant a giant wall of intimidating knobs, cables, and patch bays. Bob Moog and his team designed the Minimoog as a performance instrument for all musicians — and soon the portable Minimoog was appearing on albums by Stevie Wonder, Sun Ra, Bob Marley, and dozens more.

Incredible Realism to Fuel your Creativity

Simply open the Minimoog in your DAW and prepare to be inspired with the unmistakable growl, fatness, and rich distortion of Moog's iconic ladder filters and oscillators. Even the "feedback" effect of looping the Minimoog's output to the input for varying degrees of distortion is faithfully reproduced.

Create with Custom Moog Mods

The Moog Minimoog UAD Instrument sports many of the custom mods that pros utilized on their hardware units. From switchable note priority and legato to sample and hold, extra LFO, and more, these appointments make the Moog Minimoog a jaw-dropping, detailed emulation that raises the bar for virtual instruments.

What They Say

Switching DAWs is a big undertaking, but I can definitely see LUNA finding a place in people’s workflows. I love Ravel, Moog Minimoog, and Neve Summing — plus it works seamlessly with Apollo.

The Moog Minimoog in UAD Spark is so good, I’m tempted to use it live!

    A faithful emulation.

    I am by no means a synth expert, I do add synth parts in some of my pieces and was familiar with the minimoog. As far as I can see so far it is reasonably easy to use and sounds great however, if I was going to be Honest, I only considered it because I got a great price through a 3rd party dealer.

    Very disappoint

    The sound quality is very poor. The controls are easy to use but they're also very basic and the entire product is very limited.

    Sound quality not pro-grade, and comes with invasive iLok software

    Plenty of digital crunch in this one, and installing it means you're also installing everybody's least favourite security management software, iLok, which is a nightmare to remove from your system. On the other hand, it's cheap and very light on CPU, but even if it was free I would rather pay more for one of the more decent MiniMoog emulations like Cherry Audio's Miniverse (which has quality options like oversampling settings, and doesn't cost much more - hear the difference!). Will be steering clear of UA for plugins for good I think - they increasingly seem like perfunctory corporate box-ticking exercises. Your mileage may vary - this is just my experience. For casual playing around I'm sure this plugin may be fine.
