To Celebrate World Music Day, Score a Free Minimoog Soft-Synth

Before reading this post, you may not have known that World Music Day is today. And that would have been perfectly fine in years past, but missing out this time around would have been monstrously detrimental to your cool-factor, and potentially your wallet. That's because today, in celebration, Arturia is offering their Minimoog-V soft-synth for free. Here at Motherboard HQ, we all happen to be huge synth-nerds, so we couldn’t be more excited.

If you know nothing about the history of the Moog synthesizer, if you don't care that it shaped the sound of music's greatest acts such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Kraftwerk, and if you are uninterested in sounding like a superstar, I'm sure you at least like free stuff. And this isn't just some keychain with a company logo printed on it, but a legitimate piece of software. Click through to score a copy, you have until midnight.
