Comparisons
Features and functionality
-
Arturia Mini V4 knobs have inaccurate faceplate markings, differing from displayed digital values, affecting ease of sound replication.
Source -
The Mini V4 is praised for its enhanced effects section, with one user noting it's the first synth where they haven't needed external reverb.
Source -
The vintage knob on the Mini V4 adds subtle enhancements to the sound, improving the overall tonal quality and making it sound "fatter" compared to V3.
Source -
The modulation matrix includes a mid-position knob, allowing for both positive and negative modulation effects, which can be confusing for those expecting a traditional setup.
Source -
The mod wheel can be set to modulate the LFO amount, but care must be taken to start with a zero modulation amount to avoid unintentional effects.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
UAD Minimoog is preferred for bass due to its handling of HPF modulation and its ability to cut through mixes without losing low-end presence.
Source -
Users attempting expressive playing styles, like adding pitch vibrato at the end of a run, find the setup non-intuitive and require specific matrix adjustments.
Source
Software and compatibility
-
Concerns mentioned about compatibility of plugins like The Legend and AAX Pro Tools on Mac Silicon systems.
Source
Build quality
-
Arturia's modulation mimics cross-modulation between oscillators, sometimes thinning lows, while UAD presents steadier modulation.
Source
User experience
-
Owners report that the Mini V4's mod matrix, while more limited, is easier to use than previous versions, enhancing the user experience.
Source -
Users find the modulation matrix challenging due to its unconventional default settings, such as having the LFO already applied to oscillators, complicating custom vibrato setups.
Source
Value and pricing
-
Users recommend upgrading to Mini V4 at a discounted price, highlighting the improvements in sound and effects as justifying the cost.

Sounds nothing like a real Moog.
Usually Arturia plugin emulations are really good, but this one sounds nothing like real Moog, it just sounds like a dull digital synth.

Nice monosynth soundalike.
I nabbed it back when Arturia was handing liscenses of these for free, but I picked up an official liscense of it in a bundle and have no regrets. Freebie lacked patch tinkering and certain refinements but the full on liscense breaths better life into the program. Can get a bit CPU heavy... Okay it can downright bog your machine down on some patches if you're running an old 2nd gen i7 laptop like myself. But it sounds really close to the real deal. Just give it a little tube warmth and it will sound spot on.

I use this one a lot
I have a Sub 37 Moog and use it the same way I use this one. This one can be automated easier in Live. I do like to use the analog one so I can twist the knobs. You can use external instrument to automate the midi, record while manipulating the filter and such

MINIMOOG DANS LE PC
Génial le vrai presque l'original émulé !!! le seul hic est que pour travailler du son il faut un putain de clavier maître à touches dédiées, ou alors passer des heures avec la souris, mais c'est chaud !!

The Best Minimoog Emulation
I have the real Minimoog and the Arturia Software version and I can say the sound is incredibly the same.

Classic
I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a real Minimoog Voyager, nor have the space, but this synth is great at replicating analogue sounds well, and I got it for half price in a plugin boutique sale!

Retro machine!
Perfect for making old school sounding synths and can get some brilliant analogue bass sounds out of it!

Quoted on the official product page.
Arturia Mini-V was one of the first emulations I've used, and it's still present in my nowadays tracks.
@torqueland: All scratch! Arturia Mini V and some TR-707 samples if I recall correctly
I've always worked with Cubase and create my sounds with additional VST instruments. I love the digital Minimoog from Arturia, which can be layered in such great detail. Two-tone bass romance. The Minimoog is perfect for that.
On his reddit ama, a user asks Alex Metric what synths he used in his remix of Phoenix's Lisztomania. Alex answers, "back then i made EVERY record just with the arturia minimoog plugin! as i was saying earlier its not what you have but how you use it.
though now i have filled my studio with old synths and gear and use them instead." (original source here, posted Oct 2014)
