I have a VST version of this and the filter is truly amazing.

I think this is a safe link, but there are an awful lot of infected downloads spreading around the VST world, so run your antivirus, keep backups, etc folks.

There are some useful links on the YouTube page, including this which itself has several interesting links:

> **[Minimoog Replica](https://inaptlycrafted.blogspot.com/2016/06/minimoog-replica.html)**
>
> In the next few weeks I'll be reporting about my new project of building a Minimoog Replica. I have already started researching options...

Moog filters generally have the reputation of being the best around. YuSynth has a Minimoog filter clone

[http://yusynth.net/Modular/EN/MOOGVCF/index.html](http://yusynth.net/Modular/EN/MOOGVCF/index.html)

which inspired a similar design by Kassutronics

> When I started with synth DIY, I knew little about how transistors work, and the famous Moog transistor ladder filter just looked like magic...

which was converted to Kosmo format by @sebastian

which, as it happens, I just built (but haven’t yet tested).
