Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D

 Moog Music has introduced the Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D. This is what they have to say about it...

In 1970, the Minimoog Model D redefined modern music-making as the first portable, performance-ready analog keyboard synthesizer--bringing the Moog sound to artists worldwide. This tribute edition honors that legacy and the visionary spirit of Bob Moog.  

A studio statement piece. A powerful, hands-on inspiration machine. A trusted songwriting companion that adds depth to studio recordings and emotion to live performances. This is the legacy of the Minimoog Model D.

Loved for its warm, analog tone and intuitive, straightforward design, this timeless synthesizer's influence transcends genres and generations. Its distinctive basses, soaring leads, and classic filter character established the Model D as the archetype of what artists and listeners still imagine when they think of the synthesizer.

The Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D celebrates the essence of this instrument and Bob Moog's innovative technology, preserving its iconic sound and soul. 

We designed this limited-edition production run with intentional details that commemorate Bob Moog's earliest synthesizer models. The instrument features a custom badge that uses a metal photo-anodization process, which harkens back to the modular panel graphics found on the System 55, System 35, and Model 10 synthesizers, as well as select early R.A. Moog Co. Minimoogs.

The instrument features a custom quartersawn oak wood enclosure, a unique back-panel decal, and an included SR Series travel case, along with 100% analog circuitry and all the modern functional enhancements from the instrument's latest reissue.

Each Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D synthesizer is assembled by hand in our North Carolina production facility, and only 500 in total will be built by our small team.

Key Features

100% Analog Signal Path
Featuring a discrete analog mixer, analog oscillators, dual envelope generators, and analog VCA, every element of the Model D is engineered for deep, dynamic sound. Its all-analog signal path makes this synthesizer a standout in today's studios and stage setups.

The Iconic Ladder Filter
The classic 24 dB/octave Moog ladder filter provides the unmistakable resonance and smooth cutoff sweep that defined the sound of the synthesizer. From round, warm bass tones to sharp peaks, the filter remains one of the most celebrated designs in analog synthesis.

Feature Enhancements
While faithful to the original 1970s design, the Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D includes modern enhancements like a dedicated LFO mode for Oscillator 3 and expanded modulation routing, a premium Fatar keybed with velocity and after-pressure, MIDI integration, and a spring-loaded pitch wheel. These additions allow for greater expression and deeper sound design while preserving the traditional front-panel workflow.

Modern Connectivity
This edition of the Model D integrates seamlessly into contemporary setups with MIDI In/Out/Thru, CV and Gate inputs/outputs, and an external audio input for processing other instruments through the legendary filter and amplifier section.

Custom Protective Case
Every Bob Moog Tribute Edition Minimoog Model D includes a semi-rigid case designed specifically for this instrument, providing protection for transport while on the road or simply traveling from home to the studio.
