Moog connectivity
One of the great wonders of DAW-based plugins is that they are easy to install and use, with no requirement for additional hardware. That said, the Arturia Mini V is NKS compliant, so you can take huge advantage of its interfacing options with hardware through the use of Native Instruments or Arturia MIDI controllers.
While Moog’s own iPhone/iPad app can be used in a standalone format, the addition of further enhancements will hugely benefit the quality of the experience if you intend to get serious with the app. Adding a MIDI/USB MIDI interface will help with triggering, while the presence of some form of iOS compliant audio interface will immeasurably improve the quality of the sonic reproduction. The IK Multimedia iRig range has a wealth of products for all scenarios that are perfect solutions for iOS connectivity.
Meanwhile, if you’re lucky enough to have access to a hardware Minimoog, you’ll need an audio interface to get your audio into your
DAW. While you will also need a MIDI interface if you want to connect one of the reissued models via MIDI, the vintage originals present more of a challenge! You’ll need a MIDI to CV/Gate convertor to trigger the Minimoog, and depending on age and condition, you might find this can be a little unreliable. That’s vintage!
