CHARACTERISTICS hyperconnues but hey!
- Monophonic analog synth
- No memory
- 44 keyboard keys not sensitive nor the VLOC aftertouch (RVer should not)
- 3 of 5 octaves tunable oscillators + 1 position low frequencies
- 6 waveforms per oscillator, can not be combined:
Oscillators 1 and 2: triangle, saw / triangle, sawtooth (positive) square off rectangle, rectangle strait.
Oscillator 3: The saw / triangle is replaced by a sawtooth down, the more useful use LFO
- For the Mini does not ddi LFO is the third tilt that can fill this rle by cutting its output audio and keytracking. The possible destinations are the overall pitch and filter cutoff frquence.
- The amount of modulation is determined by the wheel ...
- Gnrateur a white noise or pink
- The oscilloscope, an external source and possibly gnrateur sound mixes are before attacking ...
- 24dB/octave filter rsons we do not Submitted, absorbing basic ADS (R). The keytracking is adjustable 1 / 3 - 2 / 3 - 3 / 3.
- An envelope with VCA ADS (R) also
ADS envelope (R) can rgler the attack, decay and sustain. There is no release, unless you press a switch which will give the release of the hard decay. Note that both the triggers and release of the VCF and the VCA
- And out!
The modulations were more a portamento and pitch bend without resort center detent.
CT Connect: 2 mono outputs low and high, an input for external signal
- CV input and gate, among the CV for the CONTRL frquence VCA and filter cutoff.
All in a nice wooden box!
Note CHARACTERISTICS: 10 for the era, 2 for now (though ...): 6 medium
UTILIZATION
One of the big strengths of the mini: Ergonomics is gniale. The panel that Relva to be under the eyes and the fingers, large well spaced buttons, the little features, everything contributes to make a machine CHAC IMMEDIATE. No need for manual, we are immediately out of the sounds that go well.
The keyboard is quiet and enjoyable trs. The pitch bend and modulation are trs direct and sensitive, which dconcerte at first, but once it is made is a rgal.
One often reads that the Minimoog is a musical instrument from Entire: it's all true. We must learn to "play the mini", changing the patches steals while continuing to play ... and becomes a real treat!
SOUNDS
Obviously a good kills the sound, and it is not the legends. No imitation, whether hardware or software, it does happen the ankle. The sound is the direct, powerful, warm. The filter is always REFERENCE sr but the oscillators are also a large part of its sound quality. So these are the leads of Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk low, the theremin Portishead, etc ... everything comes easily by turning a few knobs and no mistake: this is good!
A point to emphasize is the expressiveness of the keyboard which, although not significantly n'tant VLOC can really vary his game, the envelopes was not repeated if you play legato.
OVERALL OPINION
I actually minimoog 2; The series of one 4xxx, 74, and one of the last n12xxx. They are a little DIFFERENT: bnisterie is the prettiest on the old, the new features of the new oscillator circuit more stable. In between my heart balance: the sound of the first is a little warmer, the deuxime is a bit more cutting edge, best in percussion ... I am a hard Spar one or the other!
The current price is anything but reasonable for a monophonic synth, however you can be sure that you can resell it at the price you will pay and the acqurir vritable an instrument. If it is for the driver from a squenceur and paste the bottom of a mix is not worth the time, it is better to go home Arturia. If it is to play diffrent, you will make the diffrence every day by putting their hands on it. A bit like an old telecaster ...
