There are some minor authenticity issues.Ī software recreation of the famous Moog Modular systems, MMV has an authentic tone, a nice user interface and really brings out your creativity.Japanese synth luminary Tomita, Jan Hammer, Larry Fast, Herbie Hancock, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones all used Moog modular systems, and even today artistes such as Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tomita are still enthusiastic modular system owners. Keith Emerson is amongst the best-known modular system users with his huge System 3C, along with the likes of Walter Carlos whose pioneering Switched On Bach album made Moog a household name in 1968. Modular systems could still be ordered specially until 1981. Production continued in Buffalo, culminating with the Moog 15, 35 and 55 in 1974 when the company was again sold, this time to Norlin in 1975. Modulars continued to be manufactured by Moog in Trumansburg until 1971, when the company was sold to Bill Waytena, renamed Moog Music, and moved to an old gelatin factory in Buffalo. This led to the 900 series in 1965, the Systems 1, 2 and 3 in 1967, and the 3C in 1969. It now resides in the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan. The first Moog modular was built in 1964 for, and in collaboration with, Herbert Deutsch. Arturia, the French company responsible for the Storm studio software package, have now entered the software-synth arena with Moog Modular V, a virtual-analogue software instrument based on the Moog modular synthesizer systems of the '60/'70s.
Recent examples of these include Steinberg's Model E, a simulation of the Minimoog, Native Instruments Pro 53, a Prophet 5 clone, and Gmedia's Oddity, a recreation of ARP's famous Odyssey synth. The number of software recreations of 'classic' instruments is growing almost daily, no doubt due not only to the increasing scarcity of the original items, but also the ever-present enthusiasm for all things retro. Switched-on software or spaghetti junction? We find out. The beginnings of a simple patch on Moog Modular V's Synth Page.įor their latest software instrument, Arturia have taken on the tough job of modelling a modular synth - and it's the granddaddy of them all, a Moog modular.
