minimoog V allows creating unique music tracks that will somehow resemble the ones that were popular thirty years ago. It has the same monophonic analog synthesizer aspect and feels like the former synthesizer, which was used for creating music in the 70's. The only difference between this one and the one created in 70's, is that the old one was real and palpable, and this one is a virtual synthesizer. It was created because of the need for developing new sounds in pop and rock music in the 70’s era.
The minimoog control panel can be split into three sections: a signal generator, a filter and an amplifier. Because minimoog is monophonic, that means only one note can be played at a time, this is a disadvantage for users who would like to mix some notes at a moment.
In order to produce a sound, first you will have to choose a sound shape that will be generated from the Voltage-controlled oscillator. After that, your signal will be filtered through Voltage Controlled Filters while some harmonics can be added.
You can control this minimoog synthesizer using a 44 note keyboard, which is equipped with a pitch-bend and modulation wheel. You can use these wheels for modifying the resulting sound signal. For using this synthesizer you should document first about signal shapes, oscillators, controllers and other synthesizer components.
It is not an easy-to-use program, but after reading a full documentation on sound mechanics, you will be able to master every feature of this great program and produce impressive and unique music tracks.
