The SoundForce SFC-Mini V4 is a high-end, dedicated MIDI controller designed for the world’s leading Minimoog software emulations. Featuring more than 65 hands-on controls arranged in an authentic Minimoog-style layout, it delivers a true analog-inspired workflow for modern producers. Representing over a decade of SoundForce MIDI-controller innovation, the SFC-Mini V4 is the most advanced and accurate Minimoog-focused controller yet.

4th generation

The very first SFC-Mini was introduced in 2015, featuring a laser-cut acrylic enclosure and fully hand-assembled construction. In 2018, version 2 followed with the same boutique manufacturing approach, enhanced with Mini-style toggle switches.

In 2021, the SFC-Mini V3 marked a major step forward with a new sheet-metal chassis and the addition of walnut side panels, bringing the controller even closer to the feel of classic hardware.

All previous iterations of the SFC-Mini are 100% still functional with the latest versions of the originally-supported plugins.

Four years later, progress in two-way communication with Arturia’s Mini V4 made it the right moment to update the controller once again. Every switch, including the rotary switches, have LED indication allowing to reflect the plugin UI state may it differ from the controller state. At the same time, a lot of attention went into refining the look and feel, using fonts closer to the original Minimoog, using the red/blue color coding and sourcing proper Moog-style knobs to give the SFC-Mini an even more authentic character.

Features
The unit only has 1 USB type B port (printer style) at the back and is USB-powered. The interface is true to the original Minimoog front panel with added OSC2 CTRL, UNISON and POLY switches that are mostly specific to the Arturia emulation. The Shift button unlocks an alternative CC message for each rotary pot. The Control Panel Chrome web app allows the user to redefine the CCs for each switch and rotary pot.
