iMini

For the cost, this is a great MiniMoog emulator. The presets in the app are good, and there’s a lot of plasticity of sound. However, there are some big flaws - the Audiobus support really isn’t what it should be, the app is very rarely updated, and most importantly, the “Tap to set BPM” function is completely broken - on all platforms and versions of iOS, tapping this button instantly crashes the app every time. (Trust me, I tried this on a lot of iPads.) I used to have a review here that said I loved this app except for this one fatal flaw, but honestly - at this point, this app doesn’t impress me all that much. There are now a number of MiniMoog emulators on the market - most of all, Moog’s own Model D app, which looks and feels like iMini, except with a LOT more functionality and better sound. (And the BPM controls don’t crash the app!) My advice: skip the iMini and spend a few extra bucks on Model D instead. It’s worth it.

I have been a fan of Arturia's virtual keyboards for quite a while now because of their incredible macOS apps. So I tried their iOS apps. They are just as good as their Mac stuff. They currently have only 4 apps available for iOS. I wish they had 40. I would buy them all. And by the way, their hardware is also very good, better than most. These people really know what they are doing.

Update crashes consistently when changing tempo down to 40 bpm

I’ve had iMini for years and used to use and love it. But I’ve drifted away from it. I’ve actually owned a Model D since the late 70’s, but was always happy to have this (once great) app as a convenient and portable substitute for my iPads. <br/><br/>I fired it up today and I must admit that I’m very disappointed. According to the App Store, Arturia hasn’t updated it in 3 years. And it certainly shows!! No AUv3, Tap Tempo crashes the app, outdated connectivity options that are now greyed out rather than removed, no Bluetooth connectivity, blah, blah, blah. <br/><br/>I love and use Arturia hardware and software. Use their products all the time. But revisiting this particular app was a huge disappointment. They should update it or just drop it from the store. It’s obvious that they have forgotten it even exists. <br/><br/>This is not to badmouth Arturia as a company. They are great. But this app should be avoided.<br/><br/>Buy Moog’s very own version. It sounds and works great, and they stay on top of it. In fact, it was updated just 2 days ago. It’s based on their classic baby, and they treat it as such. 👍

Hey guys wassup, listen this is a great app and I’ve been using it for the last cpl of years as iaa adding bass lines, pads, leads and more to my production. It’s always served my Moog needs for an iOS app, buuuut now Moog themselves has come out with the Model D their own version of THEIR synthesizer, with Auv3 compatibility. I’m a loyal customer Retronyms/Arturia, as Impc2 is my number 1 Beat making app, along with iProphet my number 1 for analog pads n Chords.. IMini is a great a beautiful sounding app.. it needs to be updated tho along with iprophet take your apps into the future

Time for an upgraded version .. lot’s of crashes.. looks like Arturia won’t be supporting any of their IOS Apps, can’t recommend any, due to lack of support.

This sounds good but doesn’t play nice. I guess Arteria is gonna stick with Tabletop and not bother integrating their synths with the rest of the iOS music production universe. It needs auV3. C’mon guys!

Seriously, love the mini Moog but this needs AU support like the SEM. <br/>Keep up the good work.
