The iconic monosynth 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.
After the production stopped in 1981, there had been during the 1990 decade, several failed
attempts to restart production of the 1971 monosynth. With the arrival of computer music
technologies, it has been very often mimicked as a virtual instrument, with little success.
Arturia Mini V is the latest avatar, and thanks to the TAE
technology, we dare to think it is
probably the most accurate emulation of this cornerstone of analogic synthesis available on the
market.
