In a very weird alignment of the synth god stars, the last few weeks have seen new software versions of the ARP Odyssey, Yamaha CS-80 and Minimoog, the three greatest synths of all time. But not only that, the latter is resuming production in hardware – for a small cost, that is. You couldn’t make this stuff up. It’s coming up to space year 2023, but really it’s the ’70s, albeit in software.
First out of the starting blocks was the Minimoog Model D App which we reported on last month. For just 30 bucks you get an app that will not only run on your iOS device but also in MacOS (11.2 onwards) within an AU3 compatible DAW. That’s the most influential synth ever… for peanuts.
