Arturia Minimoog V MKII brings back the sound and special characteristics of the Moog synthesizer in a virtual instrument. The original Minimoog has particular characteritics for which it is loved by many musicians to this day. Arturia decided to reproduce the legendary synth interface with the same look and feel of the original because of its particular "mood" and because many musicians wish to use the same interface they used in the past.But the reproduction of this synthesizer does not stop at the look and feel—Arturia also recreates its inside characteristics as well.So what makes the sound of the Minimoog? First, the oscillators. Arturia recreates the exact characteristics of each oscillator, with its particular sound. As with any discrete component analog oscillator, the Minimoog V produces "free-running" waveforms that Arturia has captured in the sound.Secondly, the filter. Many digital filters have some characteristics which are very far from their analog references. The Minimoog V filter has the same characteristics as the original Minimoog one, i.e. its frequency and emphasis are completely independent. The Minimoog V filter is an true emulation of the renowned typical 24dB moog 4 stages filter. Another feature of the Minimoog filter is the emphasis decreases when the cutoff frequency is low. This allows a special characteristic of sound that lets the bass pass throught the filter when playing lower sounds.The soft clipping behaviour of the Minimoog amplification stages is also very important in the sound character, adding some pleasant harmonics to the sound, making basses sound more powerful.Sound MAP: Explore hundreds of sounds using Arturia's revolutionary Sound MAP.
