Moog Minimoog Model D Reissue 2023

Moog Minimoog Model D 2022 Edition

There’s no shortage of clones and remakes of classic synths on the market, but it’s not every day that a company reissues such an iconic instrument so faithfully, keeping the original design intact and only adding a few select features. The signal path remains identical to the original Model D, with the same three-oscillator monophonic sound engine, legendary low-pass ladder filter and saturating mixer section that add up to create the unmistakably rich and powerful Moog sound.  The reissue even retains the same component placement and through-hole design of the original Model D.

The reissue features several upgrades from the 2016 Minimoog variant, including a dedicated analog LFO with triangle and square wave options, a premium Fatar keybed with velocity and aftertouch (both with CV outputs), MIDI integration and a mixer feedback mod that produces abrasive distortion and screaming self-oscillation with the turn of a knob. And, for the first time ever, the Model D now includes a popular artist request—a spring-loaded pitch bend wheel that snaps back to the center position, providing improved playability and potential for wild flourishes.

As with all Moog products, every new Minimoog Model D is designed and built to last a lifetime. Housed in a hand-finished aluminum chassis and a locally-sourced Appalachian cherry outer cabinet with a legacy-inspired walnut stain, this instrument is as beautiful as it is sturdy. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a vintage Moog, this is your chance—with look, sound and feel nearly identical to an original 1970s Model D, all that’s missing is the dust.
