UVI UltraMini – What You Get If A Classic MiniMoog And A MIniMoog Voyager XL ‘Make Sweet Love’

ultra-mini

UVI has introduced UltraMini, a new hybrid instrument, based on a classic Moog Minimoog Model D synthesizer and the Minimoog Voyager XL.

Here’s what they have to say about UltraMini:

Two revered analog synths spanning a 4 decade legacy make sweet love with the UVI Engine. The result: a 3-oscillator subtractive synth with devastating sonics and supreme ease-of-use. Experience the power of authentic overdrive, dual-filters and more in this ode to the arbiters of analog!

One of our specialties is making hybrid instruments to get the best of both worlds.

We started with a beautiful 1971 Minimoog, sampling every waveform of every oscillator across every key — and we did this for multiple overdrive settings. UltraMini seeps with a thick and immediate analog sound produced with the same 3-oscillator configuration as the Minimoog.

But we didn’t stop there. In 2002 the Minimoog had a second coming in the form of the Voyager. This synth has its own wild character. Taking a 2011 Limited Edition Voyager XL, we performed the same comprehensive session, creating an identical sample footprint.

UltraMini includes two fully independent instruments with uniquely skinned GUIs, giving you the choice of vintage analog or crushing new school grit.

For $199, the UVI Darklight IIx library gives you a wealth of useable sounds from a Fairlight, enough power to shape yet more sounds for your own use and a lovely retro style interface that evokes a pleasant sense of Aussie sampler-based nostalgia. It is not an accurate Fairlight clone, doesn?t claim to be yet satisfies the most ardent fan of the sound of the Fairlight.
