Free Moog Minimoog Voyager Synthesizer Vst Emulation
- The Minimoog Voyager and Voyager XL is are sonic powerhouses that pays homage to important milestones in the Moog synthesizer legacy. Fat oscillators and warm Moog filters give it that unmistakable Moog sound and the rugged construction and intuitive user interface design immediately tells you that you’re playing a high-quality musical.
- Feb 14, 2018 This used to be called the SampleMoog and was based on samples of Moog synthesizers. The latest version has been upgraded to be part of the Syntronik Instruments collection but is available separately as Minimod. It’s the only sample-based instrument on our list. Minimod brings together sounds from the Minimoog, Modular Moog, and Moog Voyager.
VST Cassini is a Moog Voyager emulation. This emulation is inspired by the real unit circuits but is not aiming to sound accurate to the hardware synth. No presets just like the real thing.
The Minimoog ! one of the synth that had the biggest impact in history of synths.
This is a difficult task to emulate the moog sound with virtual synth, you have to take care of the electronic components and their characteristics.
Let’s start the dance :
1. MinimogueVA by Gunnar
Free Moog Minimoog Voyager Synthesizer Vst Emulation Pedal
Download and information : Gunnar archive site
Based on the Richard Brooks synthedit sources of “mogue”, this is a very nice VST emulation of the famous miniMoog synthesizer.
It’s a Synthedit creation : It works for Windows and 32 bit VST hosts.
You can also found a polyphonic version (MinimogueLuxus VST).
The three oscillators are here, and the filter does the job.
A simple arpeggiator is also a nice addition.
2. Model Mini by ElektroStudio
ModelMini VST
Info & download : http://www.elektrostudio.ovh.org/index.php?go=mini
A free VST that can stand for the “best free VST recreation of a Moog synth” title.
Sounds good, works for Windows (32 bit).
3. Freemoog by Cyclik
download now ! => http://spiritconspiracy.free.fr/spip.php?article14
Created with Synthedit, it sounds different than the two previous VST synths, but it sounds good.
And that’s all we want. It’s free, and works in all 32 bit VST host under Windows.
4 RA Mowg by Chris Anderson
RA Mowg VST
Emulation of a Minimoog model D. Created with synthedit. It’s not bad.
5. ASynth by Antti.
download and test it : http://antti.smartelectronix.com/
It’s not really a Minimoog emulation, but with its two oscillators and the filter set on “MINI” , it does “Moog-ish sounds”. The quality is superior. Don’t forget to check out the Taurus emulation on the same site too !
ASynth VST is donationware, and still one of the best VSTi.
6. Minimoog+ by Synthfellow
Synthfellow Minimoog+ VST
Info : archive & download
This is an oooold VST plugin created with Synthedit about 10 years ago.
It has some playing/retrigger bugs, some parameters are not well “calibrated” and the presets don’t do it justice.
But with some tweaking, it can do nice leads and bass !
7. Prodigious by Synthescience
Minimoog Voyager Manual
direct download + info
A good synthedit creation, it’s inspired by the legendary miniMoog, and it adds some interesting features : chorus + delay. You can modulate the filter, and there’s an arpegiator!

This will be a thread for Free VSTi Synthesizers emulating Classic Analog Synthesizers from the 60's to 80's that works with 1.0.x / 1.1.x (including 1.0.9x beta) releases of LMMS. They could have been posted to the Wiki directly but I have included a short description and supporting links for these plug-ins and it would crowd the Wiki.
It's an attempt to give back something to the project and forums.
I've been playing around with LMMS on and off (mostly off) for maybe a year, mainly making noises with Free VST synths. No composing whatsoever. For Win 7 32/64-bit the VeSTige is very good and just a few really big complex synths have been a bit unstable and crashing LMMS.
They all have been trough a brief test process outlined on the LMMS Wiki. Presets in VeSTige done and saved, Projects saved with adjusted knobs to see if the changes persists and one or two controls assigned to hardware with MIDI-Learn from within VST (where available) or assigned through LMMS. So note that the test is far from complete but should give a good indication if the plug-in works or not.
This first post will post the Computer specs, OS, LMMS version and other hardware used. The following posts will list instruments by manufacturer (the hardware being emulated) with a short description and some additional info such as manuals when available. If the mods think it will be too many posts just shout out and I'll put everything in one big post.
So.... let's start!
Computer :
Toshiba Portege Z935 Ultrabook, Intel Core i5-3317U @ 1.70GHz.
4 GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit
Toshiba USB-3 Docking station with 2x ACER 23' 1920 x 1080 monitors + built in 13'
Built-in sound card.
Creative 2.1 computer speakers (not bad at all for its size).
LMMS version : 1.1.0 (32-bit)
All instruments have been used but not tested as per the Wiki on LMMS 64-bit version 1.0.3 / 1.0.9x / 1.1.0.
Reason for using the 32-bit version is that there were some posts indicating that there was less clicks and pops than the 64-bit version (don't know for a fact if this is true, if not then just ignore this).
MIDI hardware :
M-Audio Oxygen 49, using MIDI over USB.
All VST unless otherwise noted are 32-bit versions available from http://www.vst4free.com
This is not an attempt to compare the plug-ins to the originals as I don't have them or have even been in the same room as most of these. Just take it as a list of cool free synthesizers to play around with.
Enjoy, hopefully some will find this useful!
