Its sound is irresistibly ‘phat’ and very close to\u003Cbr>the original. If you want that typical dirty Mg sound then the iMini is all you’ll ever need. It’s by far the most\u003Cbr>powerful and hypnotising synth app on the market.”\u003Cbr>- Stefan Bodzin, 2013 (DJ\u002Fproducer, remixer of Depeche Mode, Booka Shade, and more)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\">GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of iMini, an authentic recreation of the all-time classic MiniMg™ monosynth for Apple’s all conquering iPad, as of February 26…\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">iMini is based on the TAE® (True Analog Emulation) synthesis technology found in Arturia’s award-winning Mini V soft synth, meticulously modelling the distinctive tones and analogue nuances of the legendary Seventies-vintage MiniMg Model D monosynth. Bob Moog changed the musical world with the MiniMg™ and Arturia helped change the music software world with the Mini V.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arturia now brings the still-sought-after classic MiniMg™ sound to the musical masses, transforming any iPad mini, iPad 2, or iPad with Retina display into the ultimate analogue synth emulation! Those timeless three oscillators and that 24dB per octave fabled filter are all present and accounted for in iMini. It also successfully sports the look and feel of Dr Bob Moog’s namesake iconic synthesizer for all to see (and hear). But being a game-changing iPad app for 2013 and not an analogue synth design dating back to 1970 means there’s a whole lot more to iMini than first meets the eye…\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Any serious synthesizer connoisseur will instantly recognise the MAIN mode screen as an eye-catching rendering of the MiniMg™ Model D front panel, albeit with welcome additional ‘analogue’ CHORUS AMT. and DELAY AMT. level controls, as well as a POLY switch for playing polyphonically — impossible in 1970, obviously! Other subtle supplements include a gearwheel icon above the keyboard — press to reveal GLIDE, DECAY, LEGATO, and SCROLL switches for performance keyboard control, plus a SCALE function to choose from no fewer than 26 different scales and modes. Meanwhile, iMini comes complete with hundreds of superb sounds showcasing its supreme sonic versatility; press LOAD from the menu bar and choose from sound designer or category — couldn’t be simpler!\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>But ‘behind’ that familiar-looking MAIN screen lies a wealth of truly 21st Century audio action: the PERFORMANCE page accesses an arpeggiator with two latch modes and two assignable XY pads for creating all kinds of patterns and real-time morphing sounds; the FX page provides iMini with the same wide-ranging CHORUS and accurate ANALOG DELAY models found in the above-mentioned Mini V software — subtle sound thickening to wildly modulated effects (chorus) and sync to external tempo (stereo delay) possibilities abound here! Handily, all onscreen knobs and switches in each iMini page can easily be assigned to MIDI CC allowing automation from any external MIDI source. The default MIDI map will automatically work with Arturia MiniLab or Analog Player 25 Universal MIDI Controller keyboards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s not all: the CONNECT page is the gateway to making iMini talk to the outside world (using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit) — use WIST (Wireless Sync Start Technology) to sync the arpeggiator and delay to other iPad or iPhone apps, and integrate iMini into a complete studio environment via Retronyms Tabletop™. This free iPad app allows multiple iMini instances to be simultaneously run; real-time performance recording into a sequencer; parameter automation; processing of third-party, Tabletop™-ready apps through the iMini filter, and more. “iMini is an ideal Tabletop™-ready app,” says Retronyms Co-Founder John-Paul Walton. “It’s a fresh take on a legendary synth, and comes packed with a ton of amazing presets — everything from retro space sounds to contemporary bass noise.”\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Thanks to iMini, today there’s really no excuse for not taking that history-making MiniMg™ sound anywhere anytime, and, in recognition of the groundbreaking instrument to which it owes its very existence, Arturia has partnered with The Bob Moog Foundation, whose Executive Director, Michelle Moog-Koussa, kindly adds: “We are grateful to Arturia and Retronyms for donating part of the proceeds from the iMini in support of our mission to ignite creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation. A portion of this funding will go to support our educational initiative, Dr Bob’s SoundSchool, which teaches children the science of sound through the magic of music.”\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>For Frédéric Brun, Arturia’s President, the feeling is mutual: “We are delighted to partner with The Bob Mg Foundation and acknowledge our gratitude to Robert Moog, who helped us when we released our first virtual instrument, the Modular V, back in 2003. We are also thrilled to work with Retronyms, who are a great company and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to iOS. The iMini sets a new standard for what a virtual instrument should sound like on an iPad.”\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>So let’s make music and help history come alive with iMini in more ways than one, and also support the dream of building the Mgseum™ (Bob Moog Museum), the convergence of The Bob Moog Foundation’s goals of inspiring and educating people through electronic music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cbr>Appropriate iPad owners can purchase iMini directly from Apple’s App Store\u003Cbr>during a three-week introductory launch pricing period for €9.99 EURO\u002F$9.99 USD\u003Cbr>(rising to €19.99 EURO\u002F$19.99 USD thereafter).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fbody>\u003C\u002Fhtml>","2013-02-26","2024-08-13T11:44:24.267Z","en",1783453981693]
