Kickstarter: MiniMoog Model D Controller
The 001:model D by ΔMIDI provides a one to one interface for any Model D VST, AudioUnit, or Standalone App that accurately captures the MiniMoog Model D. Or for that matter, an other synth that may have similar layouts that you can map the CC values onto. Every accessible knob, switch, and LED from the original hardware device is represented on this device.
Priced at €224 for the ‘Earlybird’ (Approximately…ummm…$224 USD…that was hard math!!!) it is an affordable upgrade for anyone wanting a more realistic experience.
Currently, it utilizes USB-MIDI alone, but a stretch goal of adding a TSR-MIDI connection — i.e., the modern smaller equivalent that can connect via adapter to the 5-Pin DIN of our youth — will be added at €17,000. At €20,000 ΔMIDI will provide a EuroRack form factor.
As a fan of the iPad version of the Model D…it would be far far cheaper to just buy a dedicated tablet and the controller than to buy the Moog Hardware — and honestly, having played both side by side, I can say that *I* can’t hear much difference. The only major difference is the lack of tactile input that this new controller purports to give!
