Today, we announce that after a whirlwind year back in production, our limited re-issue run of the iconic Minimoog Model D synthesizer is coming to a fast end. To commemorate the close of production of the world’s first portable synthesizer, we invited prolific producer Mike Dean to spend one day creating a new Minimoog Model D track at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC.
Dean wrote and recorded the new track “Three Jewels” on the Minimoog build line while Moog production engineers crafted some of the final Model D synthesizers beside him. With the track completed in just five hours, Dean walked out of the Moog factory with its employees at the end of their shift.
To get your own Minimoog Model D before they are all gone, contact your local Moog Dealer (http://www.moogmusic.com/dealers)

If you liked this track Mike made with the Model D, may we suggest this one he just made in front of us with a bunch of other great synths too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moCpKwNA4Cw
April 2024. Had to come back to this jewel
Insane insane insane!!❤
I think Tommy Cash would sound sick on this beat!
sick video… love the edits and interjections from Mike… curious what speaker setup is going on in that building to bump bass :)_
Drummer from another mother. Nice. Hehe. I say, brother from another mother, and sister from another mister. Haha.
And to think that some dont even consider a moog an actual instrument, this shit takes talent
This guy is super inspirational.

5 hours there… how many smoke breaks `I wonder ?
Earicka stole the show.
After 25 years playing different synths. Moog is the best. Cant beat that sound. ❤
I just saw Travis Scott sound straight from the intro.
Like to think the synths assembled whilst been serenaded by this fella were imbued with magical powers!

Mike Dean's stanky faces from 4:02–4:12 are impeccable, like his music.
