AudioDeluxe is offering Cherry Audio’s Miniverse, a highly detailed emulation of the legendary Minimoog Model D, for just $19 (regularly $49) for a limited time.
When Cherry Audio first released Miniverse, I was hooked immediately. I’m a sucker for Moog synths in general (I use the Minitaur all the time for cinematic bass), and I love testing new software emulations because hardware is, well, too expensive.
Miniverse blew me away not just by its faithful ’70s-inspired look, but by how convincingly it nails the Moog tone. The oscillators have that thick, warm presence you expect, and the ladder filter delivers the creamy sweeps that made the original Model D a classic.
I use it as my weapon of choice for “that Moog sound” now. Having some expanded features would’ve been nice, but it remains faithful to the original, and honestly, I prefer it that way.
Miniverse is designed with a single focus: authenticity. Cherry Audio and DSP wizard Mark Barton modeled every quirk, curve, and response of the original hardware, right down to the maple cabinet graphics and vintage “Cosmo” knobs.
Unlike other emulations that throw in extra LFOs, effects, or modulation options, Miniverse keeps the signal path true to the hardware.
The only modern twist is a polyphony switch that lets you expand from the original monophonic mode to up to 16 voices, which is glorious for lush chords and pads.
Sound-wise, Miniverse covers a lot of ground. It’s no secret that it’s perfect for everything from growling basslines and searing leads to mellow brass and spacey pads (with polyphony enabled, of course).
Cherry Audio’s synth comes with over 250 presets from pro sound designers, including MPE-enabled patches for expressive control. The feedback loop recreation (a.k.a. the “headphone into external input” trick) is spot-on, with a handy dedicated switch and volume knob.
The plugin runs through Cherry Audio’s new Sync app, which handles installation and updates smoothly. It’s rock-solid on both macOS (10.9+) and Windows (7+), supports Apple Silicon natively, and comes in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats.
CPU usage is impressively low, so stacking instances in a project isn’t a problem.
If you’ve ever wanted the Minimoog sound without paying vintage prices (good luck finding a working original under $6,000), Miniverse is an easy recommendation. For only $19, it’s hard to say no.
