To purchase The MiniMoog, please visit the NUSofting online shop

This is the definitive collection of MiniMoog sounds; sampled extensively with long loops from a real Minimoog and sculpted by the synthesis tools in EVE and Wusikstation. The soundset features a wide spectrum of the unique leads, basses and sound effects for which the MiniMoog is renowned. Further than this, the MiniMoog sound is extended into the realm of spacial pads and polysynth sounds with the polyphony, layering and stereo effects of the samplers. There are also a number of split keyboard patches.

Playing the sounds and making them come alive requires some techniques that were developed on the original MiniMoog. When playing leads, use the legato technique, playing smoothly on the keyboard without retriggering a full note on; interesting timbres can be produced this way.
The legato technique along with pitch bend and mod wheel (for vibrato) can create expressive leads and basses. When playing the SYN and PAD presets (which are polyphonic) use chords, and be sure to hold for a little to hear the evolution of the sound - there are quite a few little surprises. For Wusikstation users, there are several PAD and SYN presets that make use of the unique Wave sequencing abilities of Wusikstation.

While the presets do show off what can be done with this sound set, part of the real beauty is in creating your own customized sounds using the 86 available multisamples . Your imagination is the limit.

EVE and Wusikstation sound design by Tim Conrardy.
Samples produced by Back in Time Records.
