<h1>Arturia Mini V Plug-in</h1>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">From the starship funk lead lines of the ‘70s to the gangster whine of mid ‘90s hip-hop, the ever-present MiniMg has been making its fat presence known for over 4 decades.</span><br /><br />
<p>
	The Mini V has kept all of the original characteristics of its award-winning previous versions. Mini V version 3 updates the 
filter design to make it even more accurate than ever. Powerful and rich
 bass, faithfully reproduced ‘free-running’ waveforms thanks to new 
advances in our long proven TAE® technology. In
 partnership with Bob Moog we  recreated the legendary interface of his 
early 70's synth that was and is loved by generations of musicians. What
 truly makes this synth the Legend of Legends is its sound, and so we 
took great care to model the subtleties of its internal characteristics 
as well. 
	<br /><br />The model of the Mini V knew an unparalleled success during the 1970’s. 
Artists and bands like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Keith 
Emerson, Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, and Rick Wakeman used the 
synthesizer, notably for the typical sound and its very warm quality, 
which is excellent for basses and lead sounds.
</p>
<p>
		The very first prototype of this synth was called Model A. Three
 other versions, B, C and D, followed. This last model is the final and 
most common incarnation of this synthesizer and the only one that was 
put into production in large numbers. The choice of wood rather than 
plastic for the cabinet prevailed from the beginning, simply because 
Robert Moog preferred to follow the advice of his musician friends 
rather than the drawings coming from his industrial engineers.
</p>
<p>
		The Model D was first introduced at the NAMM convention in June 
1971. It was Dr. Moog’s first exposure to the musical instrument 
industry - and the industry's first exposure to synthesizers. The 
reception was rather cold as, according to Bob Moog himself, “Most 
dealers didn't know what to make of a musical instrument with words like
 Oscillator Bank and Filter printed on the front panel.”

<h3>A Faithful Reproduction</h3>
The original synth had particular characteristics for which it 
is loved by musicians even to this day. Arturia mini V brings back the 
sound and features of this beloved synth in a virtual instrument. We decided to recreate the legendary interface of the original 
because of its "vibe", a look and layout known and loved by generations 
of musicians. But what truly makes this synth the Legend of Legends is its 
sound, and so we took great care to recreate its internal 
characteristics as well.
<br /><br />
<h3>Why does it sound so good?</h3>
First, the oscillators. Arturia recreate the exact
characteristics of each oscillator, which have a very unique sound. And as with
any discrete component analog oscillator, mini V produces
"free-running" waveforms just like the physical circuits do.
<br /><br />
Secondly, the filter. Many digital filters have some
characteristics which are very far from their analog counterparts. The mini V
filter has the same characteristics as that of the original synth; i.e., its
frequency and emphasis are completely independent. The mini V filter is a true
emulation of the renowned 24dB/octave 4-pole filter. Another feature of the
original filter is that the emphasis decreases when the cutoff frequency is
low. This contributes a special character to the sound that lets the bass pass
cleanly through the filter when playing lower notes.
What you can do with the Mini V
You can make an insane range of sounds with mini V. Of course it 
is particularly adept at bass and lead sounds. And pads. And effects. 
And, well, everything.
<br /><br />
But if you ask owners of the original synth what sort of sound is
 its specialty, almost every single one would say "Bass!" And naturally 
it’s used for bass and lead sounds since it is monophonic. But there’s 
another reason: its simple but efficient voice architecture, the 
specific shape of the filter, the characteristics of oscillators and the
 soft-clipping output stage give the original synth a warm and unique 
sound. And Mini V reproduces this sound exactly, so it also excels at 
powerful, fat basses and lead instruments.
<br /><br />
The lead sounds are also as clear and full as on the original, with 
the same glide and that very particular envelope response which makes 
each sound more playable.
<br /><br />
But there’s more! With polyphonic capability, an arpeggiator, 
the modulation matrix and the effects, you can make an incredible array 
of sounds while still enjoying the simple layout and true character of 
the original voice architecture.
<br /><br />
Inserting a mini V sound into your mix is quick and easy. You 
can pick any one of over 1,000 presets, made by renowned sound 
designers, and begin to play. All parameters are directly accessible, so
 you can tweak the sound easily to fit your song.
<h3 class="text-white">Preset browser</h3>
The redesigned preset browser lets you quickly find just the sound you’re looking for. Search by name or simply select the appropriate tags to dial in on the exact sonic character you’re looking for. You can mark and recall your own favorites, enter comments, and set up playlists. There’s never been a more intuitive way to manage your library of designer and personal presets.
<br /><br />
<h3 class="text-white">Resizable GUI</h3>
If you love getting your hands on all the controls, you probably already
 have one or more full instruments in the V series—and Analog Lab 2 is 
also included in the complete V Collection bundle. Analog Lab 2 makes 
the perfect command center for your V Collection. For starters, it helps
 you find sounds across your entire studio of vintage instruments. Then,
 if you want to make mods beyond the most common controls we’ve 
surfaced, with a click you can go directly into edit mode for the full 
V-series instrument if you own a license for it.
