Reincarnated Analog Synths

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Minimoog Model D is Being Redesigned After 30 Years

— July 21, 2016 — Tech
Moog has announced the return of the truly legendary and iconic Minimoog Model D, a spectacular analog synth whose production was suspended well over three decades ago.

This particular iteration of the famous analog synth is targeted towards serious musicians, and will set you back $3,749. What's great about the product is that it continues to retain the sound engine and signal path associated with the 1970s-era Minimoog Model D. The features include a touch-sensitive keyboard, MIDI integration and mixer modifications that allow musicians and producers to exercise a high degree of control.

The device allows users to produce thick and over-driven sounds, which is ideal in genres of music that embrace loud and overpowering sounds and voices.

This analog synth hints at the continuing popularity of old-school production tools in a world of increasingly digitized music production.



Trend Themes
1. Analog Synth Revival - The resurgence of vintage analog synthesizers presents an opportunity for manufacturers to redesign and reintroduce classic models.
2. Retro Music Production - The demand for vintage sound engines and tactile controls in music production highlights the opportunity for creating authentic analog synthesizer replicas.
3. Nostalgic Music Technology - The appeal of reimagining iconic analog synthesizers taps into consumers' desire for nostalgic music technology experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Musical Instruments - Manufacturers can capitalize on the resurgence of analog synthesizers by creating new or updated versions of classic models.
2. Music Production Software - Software developers can create virtual analog synthesizer plugins that recreate the sound and feel of vintage hardware synths.
3. Audio Equipment Retail - Retailers can cater to the demand for analog synthesizers by offering a wide range of vintage and modern analog synth options.
