The Minimoog Model D is back! After being introduced way back in 1970, the now world famous synthesizer quickly became the gold standard and served as the archetype for portable electronic instruments ever since. To say it is one of the most famous and beloved synthesizers in history almost doesn’t do it justice. In an exciting and surprising turn of events, well after production seemingly shut down for good, today Moog is announcing the return of the legend as the Minimoog Model D production kicks back into gear down in the brand’s Asheville, North Carolina factory. Head below for a closer look and more details. 

Today, Moog is introducing a new budget-friendly analog semi-modular synth known as Mavis. Moog – named after the legendary synth designer Robert Moog who is largely responsible for essentially creating the analog synthesizer as we know it – still makes some of the best analog sound makers on the planet, and has now unleashed one of its more affordable points of entry to the semi-modular world. The new Mavis delivers a standalone synthesis and sound design experience that can also be integrated into larger interconnected Moog or Eurorack systems making for a notable option for modular beginners and experienced synthesists alike.
