hey guys,

can someone please school me on the Minimoog and it's relevance and use in hip-hop and RnB?

I'm reading a whole gang of stuff about it online as I'm interested in learning about it. I know it's something I should already know about.

any real life info, opinions and comments are appreciated!

thanks

theres vsts out now that emulate the minimoog perfectly and even better come with tons of presets. arturia makes one, you can DL the demo. the minimoog has this big warm sound i cant really describe. the basses and leads are just "in your face", thats the best way i can put it so its no surprise that hiphop cats are into it to use for basslines or to spice up their compositions.

the mini moog was huge in the 70's. its got a very distinc sound and is one of many moog synths created by robert moog. the mini moog was used heaps in live performances. it got a fat sound but is playd out and its only monophonic so its limited.
check out 'switched on bach' (1st ever and biggest selling synthesizer record, performed on moog synth)
peace

^^^^ Wendy Carlos, but that was a moog modular, I believe the first ever custom modular by moog. Studio electronics makes rackmods of original minimoogs with additional ( and very functional ) mods but come for a price.

Even though the Minimoog sounds cool, I think you should get a Megamoog if there is one. I'm pretty sure that one is better.

that's a shame indeed cuz megamoog sound pretty good hehe. Try the memorymoog with midi upgrades, Jamiroquai uses one on all his tracks, without a doubt the dopest (portable) moog made.
