Many moons ago Studio Electronics made a name for itself by converting Minimoog’s to rack units with midi capabilities. They called these conversions, MidiMoog’s. These units had legitimate Minimoog Model D boards inside as they were indeed rack mountable, midi modified and converted Model D’s.
Soon enough, Studio Electronics decided the time was right to build clones of the model d boards so as to continue to offer the heralded MidiMoog. They called it the Midimini. Now, decades later, Studio Electronics are back at it with the re-introduction of the SE Midimini V30 with all that the classic is known for and a gang of updated features.
