Minimonsta

Minimonsta offers all the familiar features you would associate with the legendary original machine. Three oscillators with Triangle, Saw-Triangle, Sawtooth, Square, Wide Pulse and Narrow Pulse (Oscillator 3 replaces for Osc 1 & 2's triangle wave with a Reverse triangle waveform). Two attack, decay and release envelopes for filter and amplitude envelopes, as well as the famous Mini decay switch for longer release times. The famous Moog ladder filter has been painstakingly modelled and a choice of legato mode (with added high and low note priority), monophonic mode, Polyphonic mode and Unison mode (complete with detune) is also evident. Additionally the wonderful loop-feedback trick utilised by the Mini stalwarts has also been faithfully re-created and can help turn a modest sound into a full-on bombastic brute. Last, but by no means least, the Minimonsta allows you to process external audio through its filter and onboard delay.

You can assign Midi control to every single Mini parameter for dynamic responses, velocity switching etc. Plus you can also assign an LFO or Xtra ADSR to almost any main Mini parameter (excluding Oscillator Pitch-Range and Waveforms and Switches). There are 10 LFO waveforms to choose from plus sample & hold, delay, smooth and sync options, as well as positive and negative ADSR settings. This means that instead of surrendering the third Oscillator for LFO duties (as per the original instrument) you can keep the three oscillators for ultra-fat textures.

Where the Minimonsta becomes a unique instrument on its own terms is through the hugely expressive Melohman Patch-Morphing possibilities. Within each Meta-Patch there are 12 Patches that can be morphed between in a variety of ways and over pre-selected time intervals.
