There’s been the 2016 and 2022 MiniMoog Model D Reissues
and the Geddy Lee and Bob Moog Tribute Edition MiniMoog.
Also the original vintage MiniMoog Model D from the 1970s.
Prices for MiniMoog Model Ds seem to be increasing.
What’s the most you would pay for a MiniMoog Model D?
Newcomer here. I just bought a 2022 reissue for 3680 used. I also noticed the prices shifting upward so I thought I should jump on it. Glad I did! Expensive, yes. But opening the thing up you can’t deny that it’s a beautifully hefty and valuable instrument.
There’s a used Moog Minimoog Voyager Old School at the Guitar Center near me for $3,999. I don’t like that it doesn’t have MIDI or USB. I already own a Matriarch and a Sub Phatty. The OG Minimoog is tempting if it weren’t for the maintenance headaches associated with its old circuitry.
The digital part of the Voyager was never done right. The aftertouch never worked correctly. I have a Lunar Impact Limited Edition MiniMoog Voyager. They are rare.
Production run of 100 made. My Voyager drifts. I read on a forum that Moog used an out of spec capacitor that causes it to drift. I purchased my Voyager in 2015 when I heard Moog was going to discontinue the Voyager. I purchased my Voyager for $2.5 K. I’ve seen used prices
for the Lunar Impact Limited Edition as high as $6.5K.
I would never be able to afford it now for what they go for. The Voyager and MiniMoog Model D are different synths with different synth architectures. I like that the MiniMoog Voyager has stereo outputs and a dual stereo filter and dual modulation buss and sync that the MiniMoog Model D lacks. The MiniMoog Model D can go higher frequency wise than the Voyager and has more presence in regards to the higher frequencies. The Voyager can emulate a MiniMoog Model D but can go sonically places that the MiniMoog Model D can’t because of its modulation capabilities which are greater than the MimiMoog Model D.
