Easy. The top and bottom ones.
:hihi:

Speaking of bottom notes, I have had problems emulating
this famous Moog bass line with all the emu's I've tried. The top end is not a problem but getting the warmth and depth of Worrell's bassline has been a difficult task.

I challenge anyone to recreate this funk sound and post a clip for comparison.

Something to consider with sounds taken from recordings is are you hearing a raw Mini or a Mini through a Neve, etc (i.e. BetterThanLife)...

For those that dis the MiniMoog, you gotta at least give it credit for it's bass prowness.

Ok, I admit that I didn't read every post on this thread. BUT - I do own a real minimoog & of course it sounds better than any software. That being said, I also own both the minimoog V & the Minimonsta. I think they both sound great. I will give a very slight edge to the minimoog V - probably because I got it before the Minimonsta. Really, it depends on you. Use what you have & be happy that we are living in a time where all this wonderful software & technology exists!

You can get pretty damn close to a dry sound version with Minimoog V. But I'm still trying to get THAT exact result! 8)

Minimoog V gets high points for bass.

But Minimonsta gets some credit for everything else it seems.

I suppose you´re referring to MS Windows Millenium Edition, right? ;)

And here comes the Minimax:

Couldn't resist... :P

Hey Spaceman Sounds, I'm in the mood of making some more... Make some Mini recordings where you think it is hard to match.

Especially, I would be interested in some brassy sounds with medium resonance and some clicky low basses. Not sure yet, how well the Minimax performs in these realms.

Post

Uh ? time to upload ( again ! ) my poor Minimax demo now I won't delete it ... in case :roll:

It just shows some real time only mouse & modwheel / aftertouch abuse, dry and no FX added though a little close to clipping at times.

It's not funky * at all * + I love filter FM apparently :hihi:

I have no idea it's a good emulation ! :lol:

On overall wide sound spectrum : Minimax wins very easily in my book, now they all sound different to say the least so pick the one that makes you grin.
But if you buy a ( brand X ) Mini *just* for " best bass " or whatever, I feel really sorry for you ... :|

In the meantime the Minimax ASB sounds better than the Minimax and I don't have the money.

pft ...
