A Free Arturia Minimoog, anyone? Step Right Up!

What's the catch?

What's "behind the panel" that's not included?  Just curious.

It appears that whatever has been omitted is not native to the original Minimoog's set of features and that those under the panel features were merely enhancements developed by Arturia for the software emulation.

Essentially, you will have a free [software] Minimoog that is much like the original constructed by Bob Moog.

My download is underway. I did have to submit my email and name. There was no catch, except for being a recipient of the newsletter.

It is busy, but keep trying. Its only a 64 Mb download. Keep reloading the page and you'll get through, just as I did. The download is good for 24 hours.

The nice part is that its entirely ... free. But it's actually 64.9 Mb [compressed] for the PC version, strangely.

There you have it. The Mac download isn't compressed. :)


Authorized in a wink and opens up just fine in Logic and Pro Tools (for a second I thought it looked too good to be true and that it would be standalone or something.)


Thanks again for the heads up, man!

Website seems to be down.  I get the "Oops!  Google Chrome could not connect" page.  Let us know when it is back up.

Dang!  After about 50 page reloads and finally downloading from a blank screen with the IE9 download window being the only visible sign of connection to Arturia I got it!

That server must look like a New Jersey Walmart at Midnight on Black Friday right now.....

there servers are taking a battering , taking ages to get in.. errm why didn't they get more bandwidth!!


it's been mentioned on LOADS of forums, so really getting cained.. I got the files via their public ftp BUT not 100% they are the correct ones. Far quicker to access also.

Its like a flood of 10,000 people coming in for a drink of water out of a small garden hose during a 24 hour period. They must be getting vastly overloaded. 

I tried to get the message out here hours before it was starting. Its good to hear that at least some of you are getting through.

I've been playing with the Mini for a couple of hours now and have concluded that it is not a faithful model of the physical device......it's still playing in tune.....  ;-)

funny a work collegue many years ago used to go on about analog warmth etc.. and how the sound changed with heat etc.. oddly my laptop heats up , yet it still sounds the same :/


there was a clip of jarre, and his synths detuning themselves.. maybe it was posted on here..

Yes, the unpredictability of analog randomness did have its unique character. But its nice to have slice of the digital pie, even if its only a small piece of the original. :)

Got it!

What an exercise in patience and persistence. Only took about 5 hr's but I got it!
