The most recognizable monosynth on the planet, reborn. Mini V captures the triple-oscillator magic of the instrument that put iconic lead and bass sounds into the hands of working musicians, with added features the original could only dream of.
There can be only one. We model it like no other.
Timeless and iconic, the sound of the Mini works in every style of music — and there’s no better way to honor it than with our True Analog Emulation®. Even the best samples simply don’t duplicate the wow factor of vintage analog circuit behavior, turning pure voltage into sound. Mini V was developed in partnership with the creators of the original, for a magical musical experience that’s as sought-after now as it was when it first landed in the ‘70s.
Sound Real
Mini V is simply the most sonically accurate virtual Mini in existence, period. The 3 OSC fatness, the super-rich ladder filter — it’s all there.

You’ll love the attention to detail and authenticity we put into the Mini V interface - easy to navigate, but with plenty of tweaks just a click away..
Be the Benchmark
Whether you’re shredding retro solos or punching in hip hop basslines, Mini V means you take your synthesis seriously.
Modern Luxury
Adjustable polyphony, versatile effects, and massive modulation options fit Mini V into today’s music workflows with no hassle.
Mini Size,Maximum Sound
From classic prog and funk to mainstream pop to hip-hop to electronica, everyone fell in love with the Mini.
Once upon a time, if you didn’t happen to be a rock star, recording studio, or university music department, the synthesizer was a sky-high, sci-fi dream. The Mini put the essentials of wall-filling modular synths into a package everyday musicians could afford and take to the gig. The rest is literally history.
The Mini was not the first synthesizer, but it was definitely the one that got most people’s attention. The founder of the company that made it — whose name is synonymous with synths — had already seen his modular systems succeed and even cross into popular musical culture thanks to musicians like Wendy Carlos and Keith Emerson. Towards the late 1960s, though, demand for a truly portable and user-friendly way to get that soaring sound was building and sales of the large and expensive modulars were slowing.
