35 Years Minimoog Celebration

[sharcsound]

My idea is to honor the work of Dr. Moog by doing something in 2005 to celebrate 35 years of the Minimoog, as it came out in 1970. I'd like to see the Minimoog user's community join together for a Best Of Minimoog patch contest. We need to be able to convert Arturia's .amb preset patches to .pre for our beloved MINIMAX. Arturia's VST camp would no doubt like to be able to use our preset banks too. We need the help of Moog Music to make available the the best Minimoog patches of the last century and a program like Translator to convert them to the .pre and .amb formats. It could be a frendly advertising campaign with all the companies participating and benifiting. MP3 demo Minimoog tracks could be made available on CD or for download along with the patch banks, tutorials, original manuals and historic photos. Somebody could even make some money. I think it's another of my brainwaves and I would dearly love to have a massive collection of the best Minimoog sounds for my MINIMAX.
