Universal Audio’s Moog Minimoog is just $29 until January 12th

Universal Audio has discounted its Moog Minimoog instrument to just $29, marking one of the best software synth deals to close out 2025.

This is also my final article of the year, so before diving in, I just want to say thank you for being part of BPB in 2025. Your support, comments, and daily visits are what keep this site alive.

Here’s hoping that 2026 is a great year for music producers everywhere. We have a lot of new stuff planned for BPB in 2026, so stay tuned for that.

Now, back to the deal.

Universal Audio’s Moog Minimoog normally sells for $149, but it’s currently available at an 80% discount on Plugin Boutique until January 12th. If you’ve been even remotely tempted by classic Moog basses and leads, this one is hard to ignore.

I’ve tested a lot of Minimoog emulations over the years from various developers. Some sound great, some look great, and a few come close to capturing the workflow of the original hardware.

But for me, Universal Audio’s take stands out as the most convincing all-round package. It nails the signature Moog tone and feels just right in use. The layout, the response of the controls, and the way the sound reacts as you tweak it all come together to make this one really feel like a proper Moog.

If you have a thing for fat bass lines, juicy mono leads, or that creamy ladder-filter roundness, this plugin delivers the full package. It sits in a mix exactly how you’d expect a Minimoog to sit, with plenty of weight in the low end and a strong midrange presence that cuts through without sounding harsh.

I keep coming back to it whenever I want classic analog character without using samples.

The plugin was developed in close collaboration with Moog Music, with Universal Audio modeling multiple vintage units to capture the quirks, inconsistencies, and nonlinear behavior that define the original instrument.

On top of that, you get a handful of tasteful modern additions like an extra LFO, sample & hold, velocity sensitivity, and flexible note priority options. These extras expand the sonic palette without compromising the vintage vibe.

As a bonus, buying the Minimoog during this promotion also gets you a free gift, including options like the Moogerfooger MF-103S 12-Stage Phaser or other holiday giveaway plugins, depending on availability.

If you’re thinking of treating yourself to a New Year’s Eve present and want to kick off 2026 with some proper analog-inspired sounds, this is easily one of the best synth deals you’ll see.

Universal Audio’s Moog Minimoog runs as a UAD Native instrument on macOS (11 Big Sur or later) and Windows 10 or 11, in AU, VST3, and AAX formats, with no UA hardware required.
