"The Moog Minimoog Model D [is] probably the most famous synthesizer of all time. It represents the shift from the cabinet-sized modular synths of the 1960s to the 'all-in-one' portable designs of the 1970s, which offered a keyboard with knobs and sliders in one convenient, self-contained package. Replacing the infinite complexity and patch-cables of modulars with hard-wired switches and sliders, the design of the Minimoog set the standard pattern for the following generation of similarly designed portable analogue synths."
