An actual musician who shares empirical knowledge because he actually knows what he's talking about. And a great instrument. Thank you, Matt.

that combination of an electric piano+minimoog+jazzprogressions sounds so damn cool! love your keyboard skills. you really created that wonderful sound which I associate with jamiroquai...

Congrats on the Grammy Matt. Good to see current artists are appreciating your sound. Thanks for the great videos!

Wow...they are sooooo close. Thanks for doing a proper review, Matt. Stellar playing and matching up, Matt.

Such a warm sound. I love how battle scarred your old one is.

Loved the wobble and reaction, just like us excited amateurs opening our new toys.

Your videos are the only ones I watch excitedly from the beginning to the end without blinking, you are the best 🙌

Thanks Matt: your videos are always interesting, informative and musically tasty. Your style is so elegant, distinctive and inspiring: superb! :)

Love watching and listening, hope you make more vids of th Moog, happy days❤

Even to my antiquated ears, it feels like the new MM is just a little brighter than the older one, maybe? Both of them are absolutely dreamy! ❤

soooo lovely, especially moments when they sounds simultaneously)) thanks for the video!

New gear day!!!🎉🎉❤ Thanks for the video! Hope you enjoy your new Minimoog and happy holidays 🎄🎄

Hi Matt, with your videos and your music, you always manage to present every instrument in such an exciting way that one wants to have it...😅🤩

Great sounding synth, thanks for sharing this amazing moment ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💥

Always good to see a video from you ,Matt !

Thank you for not comparing waveforms for 20 minutes.😅

Nice Matt, it sounds good, enjoy. I learn so much from your videos 🙌😎

Love you Matt!!! Moog man!! Sounds so good. Absolute class.

Thanks for the video, it sounds wonderful and you play great atmospheric :)

Sick and then in the end you drop some drum and bass

I have an old Minimoog from the late 70s here. Wonderful sound and so reliable. Had the chance check a Reissue in 2018. The sound is a bit different in some settings. But both are great .

Awesome video. I actually didn't watch it most of the time, just listened and had a peek when you did the comparison and when I could clearly a "winner". Just as in "I prefer THIS one". And it always was the old one, cannot even say why. It kinda grabbed my heart. Interesting.

May it serve you well for a long time, it`s definitely in the right hands. It`s a joy listening to you playing with such a feeling...

Matt, congratulations on the new member of the family, haha, excellent, thanks for sharing the interesting comparison and may it be a motivation to create new music. Best regards ...

Spellbinding ending, great beginning and 'reasonable' middle... ;) Sounds amazing. Thankyou.

Beautiful demonstration, Matt!!

Right, that's it. Saving up for one of those beauties. Great channel, Matt, great vids

Thank you Matt, great video and performance. An actual Minimoog sitting on top up a real electric piano as God intended. It does my heart good.

What I love about the Moog synthesizers is that they always sit in the mix so well! Priced for a reason.

Matt, you bring joy to my life.

Thank You! Amazing Sound! Good Vibes from 🇧🇷✌️😉

The Moog, the one and only. So beautiful music, Matt!

Fantastic! Congrats with the new mini!! It was a stonehard goodbye to the old one😂 which sound with your playing sold me! I evaluated all options to this instrument and luckily I ended up buying the original, before Moog goes south. The warm organic sound & instrument feel is so inspiring, can´t stop playing.., a dream come true and still dreaming

What a great comparison. I love your playing and both Minimoogs sound amazing. If you were closer to me (in Canada) I could bring your old Minimoog up to spec and add MIDI. With a little TLC old Minis can be made exceptional and play perfectly. Keep up the great work.

love it. congratulations on joining the reissue crowd, matt! best, daniel

Both sound gorgeous Matt!

Congrats, Matt! If anyone deserves a new Model D, it's you. Here's to the next 40 years... ;) Cheers!

Sounds amazing. Love some that essential Jamiroquai 'signature' there. Mint!

Thx for the side-by-side. Been sooo curious and TBH wasn't gonna find out any other way. Thx Matt! OH! Maybe a heads-up before cranking the filter notch would make the video more enjoyable. The self-oscillation + headphones was still intense on my laptop at 1 volume. Still glad to hear it, though.

Many thanks for sharing! Lovely playing!

Sounds great. Too bad Moog has gone by way of the dark side. The sale to InMusic means Moog is no longer part-employee-owned. InMusic fired a large portion of the Moog staff in Asheville and is relocating the production to Asia. So I hope your new unit is US made from the Ashville factory. Mine is and I love it!!

Woohoo! Enjoying mine so much as well! 🤩 Would not lie, yours sounds somehow ... better, don't know why 😉 One thing to note, keybed is so good on reissue. Real premium and pleasure to play from keys to sound to looks.

Awesome vibes Matt!

Thank you for the video Matt 😁

Sounds fantastic, thanks for another great video. Would be interesting to have a comparison with the Moog Voyager you have in the back 😊

Great the "warm" sound from the Moog. Tnk for your video.

Fantastic comparison Matt. You're corrrect that comparing in a musical context is much more valuable than sweeping through the oscillator shapes and filter responses. I just wonder how the Behringer stacks up in such capable hands haha!

I always had this thought of , man someone’s gotta have the skill to play every synth in the planet so I know which one I really like. Insane to see on video the actual guy doing it. Impecable playing

Had a good laugh at the unboxing. Fave KZfaq music channel host humming “The Stripper” by David Rose while opening a MiniMoog box is top tier entertainment.

Congratulations, Matt!!! Enjoy it!!!

Good to see you're releasing new videos, Matt! I've missed your keyboard videos on my KZfaq feed. I still gotta say... the Rhodes piano and Minimoog is my all time favorite keyboard combination. It touches a part of my soul, you know what I mean? I've got the Moog Sub Phatty and Behringer Model D to get me close to the sound. I've been eyeing your Vintage Vibe keyboard on their website. It's a bucket list purchase for sure. Hoping I can own the real deal one day.

Seems like the modern model D sounds exactly the same as the past! And your performance is perfect as always!

Got mine in January and even though I'm not even remotely close to your playing skills the instrument itself just seems to become such a natural extension of yourself when played. Hard to explain really but you just feel connected to it..and to the music. No clone or plugin will bring that to the table.

Bro anything you touch turns to gold

amzg. thx Matt. also have those BIG SYNTHS but the vintage one with Sample & Hold device - really rare.

Oh man that Moog lead on the drum and bass was awesome.

Also liked your patch cable. I actually ever patched the pressure to the filter on the model-d before, using a pedal instead. What a dream!!

The Minimoog is the "Stradivarius" of the syntesizers, every sound played on it, sounds like electronic poetry.

Matt, I could see right away that you really needed another keyboard. Great mastery as usual!

Hi Matt :) The reissue is great, I had to think about it when it was released but I prefer to keep my Minimoog Voyager (XL) because of its precious patch memories (and the additional features of the XL version). As you said at the beginning of the video the Moog sound is in the air! What a synth company...

Could you make an 24-hours video of You playing different synths from Your previous videos? It would save my academic career :D Aslso thanks for this one! You are literaly the only one I would watch make this kind of comparison video :)

I got the 22 reissue and it’s an amazing instrument; very well built and sounds GREAT. it’s expensive but worth every penny

Matt, you rock and funk!

Wow you make these instruments swing my dude. I look at this and get serious clockwork orange, shining and blade runner/vangelis vibes.

3:20 oof It was cool to see how quickly you bonded with the fresh Mini. Great playing as per..

I had a mid-70's original MM back in the day, but "had" to sell it in 1980 to "help" pay for University. I bought a 2016 Reissue the moment they became available, and now NO ONE will make me part from it. Nearly 8 years later, I get the same thrill and deep satisfaction playing it as when it first arrived. Total deja vu with regard to my long-lost original! I will continue to maintain the subtle differences in sound between Original and Reissued units are well within the tolerances of when they were originally manufactured. I also installed the MUSE Board, which made it even more (!?) perfect. Congrats on your new instrument! Now if only someone would do a proper reissue of the Jupiter 8...

Looks like you're running out of room there, Matt... If you don't use your JP8 I would gladly take it off your hands ya know? 🤣 More seriously, you could send your beat-up Mini to Jareth at Synthpro he does amazing work restoring vintage synths. He also did a restoration job on a Minimoog re-issue (like the one you just got but the 2016 batch), and he found surprising things about its build quality. Anyway, great video, an excellent job at matching them, and a superb musical demo as usual, and thanks for sharing. Congratulations on getting a brand new Minimoog D!

They're very very close for sure. I do feel all the wear and tear on the vintage unit gives it a unique characteristic. I've been blessed to play and own a few oldies and even within the same year of production (prophet I'm looking at you) can sound and behave differently. Anyway I'd still pick the reissue as a player. Thank you for the video!

Excelente demostración!

Stunning, … it sounds so much better than your old one, that was a surprise

Reminds me of a Hammond B3 in the way that you dial up the sound you want and are always dialing in the sound while performing by turning the knobs, or draw bars, in the Hammond's case. The Minimoog has the sound of a classic instrument and you warm it up, tune it up, and play it. The closest modern synth we found to the Minimoog when we did our testing way back when (before You Tube) was a Nord Rack (the original) at least for bass. It stayed in tune and you could save the patch. We migrated to the Nord Leads for studio use for that reason in the 90's I believe it was.

You could also build one with identical components to the best sounding Model D ever made with more capabilities via AJH Synth in a Waldorf KB37 or something equivalent in eurorack for a substantially much lower cost, that’s what I did. AJH out Moogs Moog, incredible work they’ve done.

So awesome to watch this Matt! To a synth absolute novice like myself, the Moog is immediately exciting. And I guess that must show what a successfully ubiquitous synth it is. The old one, is this the one you mentioned ages ago having suffered cigarette smoke? It definitely looks that way! 'goth mode against its will ' 😆

My guy! You did it! At least you're not putting candles on your hard drives anymore 😅❤

Just lovely

I would love to see Matt, Mike Dean & Jordan Rudess collaborate on a song together. Keyboard wizardry at its best.

sooooo good music, thanks

wow nice synthesizer cataclysm you have at home / nice Gear Matt😎😍

Absolutely delightful video, thanks Matt! (Seems we got our *new* Model D roughly at the same time 😅)

Fantastic sound :)

Very nice Matt.

The two beasts are virtually identical: same beefy tone, the new one obviously seems more "stable"...your joy put me in a good mood 🙂🙂🙂

Love my reissue Minimoog! ✨

Glad to see you get the upgrade from "old yeller" You got your workout in for the day as well!

I owned a 1973? model. On of the first in NZL. I had to take a huge transformer with me everywhere as it was USA 110v not NZL 240v. Even then I had a lot of problems with fuses blowing. And, of course, it was hard to keep it in tune with my Fender stereo suitcase piano when playing live. It tended to drift - often depending on where we were playing! I sold it back to a local music shop after I left the amateur music scene. Great times though and a beautiful sounding instrument.

Fair comparison Matt, let us know if that goth Moog is ever looking for a new home!!

Wobbly stands, Rhodes, and Minimoogs; classic Matt at his best 🙂

Both great and completely dreamland possesions for me. Sometimes the wonk from the vintage synths may end with happy accidents.

amazing video!

Magic for the soul 🙌🫶

That has to be the most iconic synth ever.

This guy is super humble and cool. 😎

Epic sound

Classic sounds.

Beautiful video. For work, preparing stuff, midi, for some "thinner" sounds, the reissue is just pretty fine, but still, the old one outperforms the new one with its "velvetness", rounded/fuller bass. The old one just sings, it has a bigger soul. (Btw. I can tell too .. I have four moogs at home. 1x Vintage/ 1x the lastest vintage, and two behringers model D. - Always going for the oldest one for recording it)

Thank you!

Instant Jamiroquai machine. 😄

Beautiful video because you are a real good keyboard player. I actually got the 2 moogs but I always end up using my old one. Maybe its a little warmer and the harmonics are drifting beautifully if that make sense. i also use Kenton Midi to CV and it works great. Try to use the old with the right hand and you'll see :) Btw, mine is in excellent condition. Never ever left the studio in 40 years

impressed by the similarity (and the state of the old one too, although it sounds amazing still)

Man, such a nice video, yours always brings a smile to my face, I’ve been enjoying Jamiroquai since Emergency back in the day, gotta say, you seem to be a big part of that Jamiroquai sound. Thank you for sharing your lovely new Moog and your beautiful talent. So what’s happening with the goth edition model D? Some surgery and a new home or pop it in a corner to enjoy now and again?
