Really average - too bad
Honestly, this is the only UAD plugin that I'm going to rate low. All of their products are fantastic. Just not this one.
Compared to Alicia's Keys, Noire and a couple of Spitfire libraries that are 29usd... it sounds muffled, too roomy and not a lot of settings to tweak to make it sounds to my liking.
In the end it's 9GB on my hard drive for very little use. I'm going to keep using my other VSTs.b. yinyue

I've been wanting UAD's Minimoog for a while and it does not disappoint. I love pairing it with the Galaxy Tape Echo and other analog emulators for a really warm and evolving sound. A+

Sounds fantastic! Just recorded a new song that’s sick and vibey with the sounds from this awesome plugin. The effects are great.
J. Hall
Great emulation and lots of fun
I immediately started using this on tracks. Sounds great and really emulates the feel and tone of the original. I've only messed with originals a few times, but this really captured what I had experienced in an affordable and usable format. Has lots of bass too - not weak sounding like many vst synths. Very close to analog sounding!
F. Hasan

Simply Beautiful
Be warned, if you install this you're writing off the weekend! You won't want to leave it alone. The word "lush" occurred to me most often. It's pretty much everything in an analogue-esque synth you could want with the "morphing" front and centre. If you need some superior leads/poly as well as GORGEOUS pads this has got what you're after in spades. Excellent piece of software.
