Arturia release Minimoog app for iPad iMini recreates Moogs classic
With Korg releasing emulations of their classic MS20 and Polysix synths for iPad, it was only a matter time before other companies joined the party. The latest is Arturia who have released a MiniMoog emulator for Apple tablets. The iMini uses the same synth technology found in their Mini V soft synth. In its first week of release, the app is also available for a reduced price of only $9.99/£6.99, and a proportion of each sale also goes to the Bob Moog foundation. Heres more from Arturia:
Press Release: Music software and hardware companyArturiais proud to announce availability ofiMini, an authentic recreation of the all-time classic Minimoog monosynth for Apple's all-conquering iPad, as of February 27...
iMiniis based on theTAE(True Analog Emulation) synthesis technology found inArturia's award-winningMini Vsoft synth, meticulously modelling the distinctive tones and analogue nuances of the legendary Seventies-vintage Minimoog Model D monosynth. Moog changed the musical world with the Minimoog andArturiahelped change the music software world with theMini V.
Arturianow brings the still-sought-after classic Minimoog sound to the musical masses, transforming any iPad mini, iPad 2, or iPad with Retina display into the ultimate analogue synth emulation!Thosetimeless three oscillators andthat24dB per octave fabled filter are all present and accounted for iniMini. It also successfully sports the look and feel of Dr Bob Moog's namesake iconic synthesizer for all to see (and hear). But being a game-changing iPad app for 2013 and not an analogue synth design dating back to 1970 means there's a whole lot more toiMinithan first meets the eye...
Any serious synthesizer connoisseur will instantly recognise theMAINmode screen as an eye-catching rendering of the Minimoog Model D front panel, albeit with welcome additional analogue'CHORUS AMT.andDELAY AMT.level controls, as well as aPOLYswitch for playing polyphonically impossible in 1970, obviously! Other subtle supplements include a gearwheel icon above the keyboard press to revealGLIDE,DECAY,LEGATO, andSCROLLswitches for performance keyboard control, plus aSCALEfunction to choose from no fewer than 26 different scales and modes. Meanwhile,iMinicomes complete with hundreds of superb sounds showcasing its supreme sonic versatility; pressLOADfrom the menu bar and choose from sound designer or category couldn't be simpler!
But behind' that familiar-lookingMAINscreen lies a wealth of truly 21st Century audio action: thePERFORMANCEpage accesses an arpeggiator with two latch modes and two assignable XY pads for creating all kinds of patterns and real-time morphing sounds; theFXpage providesiMiniwith the same wide-rangingCHORUSand accurateANALOG DELAYmodels found in the above-mentionedMini Vsoftware subtle sound thickening to wildly modulated effects (chorus) and sync to external tempo (stereo delay) possibilities abound here! Handily, all onscreen knobs and switches in eachiMinipage can easily be assigned to MIDI CC allowing automation from any external MIDI source. The default MIDI map will automatically work withArturia MiniLaborAnalog Player 25Universal MIDI Controller keyboards!
And that's not all: theCONNECTpage is the gateway to makingiMinitalk to the outside world (using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit) use WIST (Wireless Sync Start Technology) to sync the arpeggiator and delay to other iPad or iPhone apps, and integrateiMiniinto a complete studio environment via Retronyms Tabletop. This free iPad app allows multipleiMiniinstances to be simultaneously run; real-time performance recording into a sequencer; parameter automation; processing of third-party, Tabletop-ready apps through theiMinifilter, and more.iMiniis an ideal Tabletop-ready app,says Retronyms Co-Founder John-Paul Walton.It's a fresh take on a legendary synth, and comes packed with a ton of amazing presets everything from retro space sounds to contemporary bass noise.
Thanks toiMini, today there's really no excuse for not taking that history-making Minimoog sound anywhere anytime. And in recognition of the groundbreaking instrument to which it owes its very existence, for everyiMinisold,Arturiawill make a donation to The Bob Moog Foundation, whose Executive Director, Michelle Moog-Koussa, kindly adds:We are grateful toArturiaand Retronyms for donating part of the proceeds from theiMiniin support of our mission to ignite creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation. A portion of this funding will go to support our educational initiative, Dr Bob's SoundSchool, which teaches children the science of sound through the magic of music.
For Frdric Brun, Arturia's President, the feeling is mutual:We are delighted to donate to The Bob Moog Foundation and acknowledge our gratitude to Robert Moog, who helped us when we released our first virtual instrument, theModular Moog V, back in 2003. We are also thrilled to work with Retronyms, who are a great company and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to iOS. TheiMinisets a new standard for what a virtual instrument should sound like on an iPad.
So let's make music and help history come alive withiMiniin more ways than one, and also support the dream of building the Moogseum (Bob Moog Museum), the convergence of The Bob Moog Foundation's goals of inspiring and educating people through electronic music.
Appropriate iPad owners can purchase iMini directly from Apple's App Store during a three-week introductory launch pricing period for8.99 EURO/$9.99 USD (rising to19.99 EURO/$21.99 USD thereafter).
