Moog Minimoog Model D 44-Key Monophonic Synthesizer 1971 - 1982
The Minimoog Model D is the very first non-modular synthesizer from Moog and was the first synthesizer truly built as a production model for working musicians. It features 3 oscillators, one of which can be used as an LFO. The most famous and acclaimed feature of this synth is its filter—a revolutionary technological development that has set the standard for nearly every synthesizer that has followed. The Minimoog inspired countless hits throughout music history, including N.W.A.'s "Dopeman" produced by Dr. Dre and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd.
