FEATURES & CONTROLS
!
The Midimini V30 is no mere Midimini repackage; while it retains its part for part recreation of the famed Minim—g in all vital
areas, a substantial infusion of creativity and sweat, not likely to be missed even by the implacable, question mark-postured, casual
social media observer. So why not begin the feature boasting with the mention of the addition of hardware Ring Mod (this writer
asked with none particular in mind), or the near generous “Outs to Outs” compatible Eurorack-sympathetic patch points gracing this
proud rackmount’s almost always feature-starved bottom edge? Well… then, we would be minimizing the savage and roaring
Feedback, and snappy ENV 2’s master override of ENV 1 (à la the Juno 106). Such thrilling e
ff ects and colors cannot go unheralded.
On to the V30’s Short List:
• Three Voltage Controlled Oscillators
• White & Pink Noise Generator
• External Input Processor with Level Control
• Expanded Oscillator & Filter Cross Mod
• Classic 24 dB Transistor (hand-matched) Ladder Filter
• 2 Hardware Envelopes with independent release & ENV2 Master Mode
• Dedicated LFO Modulator / AFM-capable Digital Oscillator & LFO Gate
• Audio Mixer with Amp Drive, Feedback Gain, 1 Wave fi lter bypass & External In
• Fuzzy and Furious Vintage External Input Feedback loop with gain control
• 14 3.5 mm (Eurorack) Outs-to-Outs compatible Patch Points, including CV & Gate
• Handy Drone for ease of tuning and… droning.
• Hardware Ring Mod from our SE-1/ATC-1/Boomstar synths
Root Level Geeky:
• Metal shafted pots throughout
Where we needed mil-spec audio tapers, because PC Mount tapers underperform in critical areas, we hand-wired in PEC Cantina
pots (a commercial mill spec variant), for the attacks and decays—resonance too. The balance of the pots (PC Mount linear taper)
are made by Alpha, a very good quality o
ff ering with heavy grease; strangely, the higher quality hand-wired pots use a lighter grease
making them feel "scrapey" by comparison, but they are almost 10X as expensive, pushing up the V30 build cost a bit.
• Sturdy and reliable Mountain Switch toggle switches
The front panel lays out these features and controls, and yet others, together by type, left to right: CON , LFO , OSCILLATORS ,
MODIFIERS , COLOR , MIXER , FILTER/MODIFIERS , OUT , in an inviting and coherent manner. Single function pots and switches
abound, with the exception of the LEARN menu, where certain vital hidden functions can be uncovered.
