    Moog is bringing it back for those with DEEP pickets as from the posted article it will be over $5000. I got mine from Synapse (Legend) for about 100. I would love to be able to afford one but I can live with a great emulation.

    Yeaaaaahhhh.... Behringer Model D is close enough. Real thing will be better but not $4,700 better. And I say that having owned the Behringer and a 1978 original.

    $4700 would buy me a fine acoustic guitar with an Adirondack top not unlike the wood used on this new Minimoog.

    I don't know how the analog big-hitters can justify their prices when Uli can get 95% the way there for peanuts. And with the Model D you can hardly put it down to development costs!

    I don't know what's the most expensive in that Minimoog Model D...
    The electronics it contains?
    Or the logo "Moog" stuck on the hood?

    For that price $5,000 I would rather get all the Behringer desktop clone synthesizers plus their original ones also

    Yeah. Too rich for my blood. Hell, the Sequential Circuits stuff are also too rich for my blood, and they weigh in at around $2500.

    Maybe this is the trend? Oberheim's new synth also costs $5000.

    I can understand the price; discrete components, hand built...
    I just won't pay it :rofl:

    (I paid $1,200 for my Mini in '79- adjusted for inflation, that's... wait for it... $5,000!)

    If you think that's expensive, look how much they charged for some of the Modular reissues... $35,000.

    You choose:
    1) 3 boxes with a bunch of circuit boards, industrial knobs and TRS jacks.
    2) A brand new 2022 SUV and enough left over for your child's college tuition.

    Had one in the 70's.
    Too square, sorry.
    An imitative monophonic keyboard, not a synth.
    My EMS AKS was a real synthesizer!
