The sound of a legendary analog synth in software form

There was a synthesizer introduced in 1971 that has become legendary for its fat sound and unparalleled filters, becoming a core element of countless recordings. And with Mini V, Arturia has taken advantage of their proprietary TAE (True Analog Emulation) technology to meticulously emulate that vintage synth's circuitry, delivering phenomenal sound quality. This virtual synthesizer plug-in is decked out with all the sonic possibilities of the original legend. But Arturia couldn't help but harness the power of modern technology, paving the way for even more functionality than the original offered. In addition to the classic three oscillators, a 24dB/oct resonant filter, and two ADSR envelope generators, Arturia also adds the possibility of polyphony, MIDI management, presets, arpeggiation, chorus effects, delay effects, and more. Ultimately, it's an old school meets new school hybrid - packed with serious vibe and massive tweakability.

Advanced automation gives you exceptional sound-shaping capability

Arturia's original Mini V virtual synthesizer drew in fans from around the globe, as it captured the sound of a classic synth - but packaged it into a portable, easily tweakable format. You can choose up to four parameters and record real-time changes within the preset, expanding your sonic palette immensely. Not only can you re-create the most recognizable synth sounds in history, you can also take them to new sonic realms with the Mini V.

Works perfectly I'm impressed thank u.

I was on the road with a few different keyboard players who had Mini Moogs back in the day and wish that I had bought one back then.
I'm a drummer/producer and love those sounds and arpeggiations that represent that time period in pop music and always wanted to be able to create with them but just didn't have the extra bucks for a physical unit. I was looking very hard at the UA version but then found out it was only available for use inside LUNA and opted for the Arturia version. So glad to have finally gotten it and have all of the integration of midi and programming inside of Pro Tools!
Amazing job they've done in recreating this classic synth!!

The only bad thing is it's not a physical object. 10 min install and the 3 hours went by.

The Arturia Mini V3 is incredibly cool. There is truly sooo much you can do over a standard Model-D from an extra LFO that doesn't eat up oscillator 3 to velocity as a modifier to varying actual pulse widths static or modulated to individual amounts of any modifier on each oscillator all made possible by the eight slot mod matrix. The major failing that I take no points off from this synth is that it does not have the natural drift of the original Model-D. I'm pretty sure I have heard & seen oscillator drift in soft software synths so I'm not sure why it's omitted here but as long as you detune your oscillators to taste you get a rich sound that in context will surpass a Minimoog in terms of sheer flexibility & enhancements every time. The built in chorus & delay sound good but really aren't necessary for most patches. I never found a use for the vocal filter as I would have preferred female articulations or the motion recorder as it always restarts with each note press & isn't free running like say a Moog 1125 which would have been an ingenious touch. Maybe in a future update. For sheer flexibility from enhancements such as polyphony & velocity to being able to automate sequences & performances to never needing to service your instrument the Arturia Mini V3 delivers in spades. I literally sold my vintage Model-D because the Mini V3's features made me feel the vintage instrument is more of a collectors piece & not forward thinking. I see myself using the Mini V3 for a long time to come.

There are a lot of hardware synths I'll probably never be able to own, but thankfully Arturia makes incredible software versions of some of the big boys. I've never been disappointed by an Arturia plug-in and this one's no exception.
I also highly recommend their Pre-1973 (modeled after the 1073). I use it in every mix I do.

I love Arturia'a products, and I love buying from Sweetwater. My sales rep, Ed is always super helpful, and who doesn't love free shipping + candy?
