A Virtual Minimoog - on Steroids!

The Minimoog is one of the most famous synths in history, originally manufactured between 1971 and 1982. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford one of those hardware masterpieces. And not everyone has the space to haul around a Minimoog for whenever inspiration strikes. But luckily for all of us, GForce went ahead and took their first-rate modeling know-how and made a plug-in re-creation of the Minimoog: the Minimonsta.

When we say re-creation, though, we don't mean replication. There's a lot more than "clone" stuff going on here. The GForce Minimonsta virtual synth takes a new look at the vintage tone machine and adds an onslaught of cool new features. For starters, instead of giving you just one LFO - as on the original instrument - the Minimonsta lets you assign an LFO to just about any original Minimoog parameter. That includes resonance, filter cutoff, individual oscillator volumes, and even each envelope parameter. Plus, each LFO also has sync, delay, and several shapes. What's more, on every parameter you can apply an LFO as well as an extra ADSR. And for the home run here, the Minimonsta lets you assign MIDI modulation to any original Minimoog parameter for serious creative possibilities.

When you want a virtual version of a famed synthesizer, you've got quite the powerhouse with the GForce Minimonsta. It's the perfect complement to your favorite piece of recording software - perfect for inspiring a host of new songs or for giving you the perfect sonic layer for your existing material. Best yet, you get all of these famed sounds at a steal of a plug-in price.

GForce Minimonsta Virtual Synth Plug-in Features at a Glance:
  • Analog-modeled plug-in of the Minimoog
  • Features all original Minimoog features, including 3 oscillators and Moog 4-pol, 24dB/octave filter
  • Additional LFO and ADSR for modulation of almost every parameter
  • Vast MIDI control possibilities
  • Monophonic, polyphonic, legato, and unison trigger modes
  • Fully programmable, with over 6,000 factory patches
  • Real-time morphing between up to 12 patches via keyboard control
  • External input allows filter to be used as plug-in effect
  • Delay effect
  • Full automation support
  • Works on Mac and PC as an RTAS, an AU, or a VST plug-in

Here's your chance to get the sounds of one of the most famous synths in history; get the GForce Minimonsta!

As close as you can get

I purchased a real Minimoog in 1975. I would love to have one again, but the Minimonsta in definitely the next best thing (maybe better). With a good pair of speakers or headphones, you would be hard ... read more [+]pressed to tell the difference between the two. When I first saw the thing on my computer, I was back in the 70s. The image looks identical to the real thing. I could operate it in my sleep. I like the added features too, such as the delay and polyphony. Plus, all those presets they added. They nailed some of the Wakeman and Emerson sounds. Go get it! close [-]

Great features added to an old classic. It's morphing capacity is amazing. Works perfectly in live set ups as well as Logic plug-in.

Music Background: I've been a professional keyboard player for 40 years
The only reason I didn't give this a five is because you can't right click on the controls and assign them to the control of choice. But other than that it's fantastic. For all of you old Moog players... read more [+] this is how you wish the original ones worked. It stays in tune, polyphonic, has on board effects, and it sounds and operates like the original and has a preset bank for quick access to your most used sounds. I would highly recommend this software to anyone who loves that classic sound. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The GForce Minimonsta is my go-to bass synth when I'm working in the software realm. Deep, thick, and rich bass tones - and lots of them!

My Sales Engineer helped me place the order and advised when the guitar would be shipped. Once Sweetwater received the guitar, it was quickly set up and I received it the next day. The guitar was in tune and set up properly.
