=== Later models === In the 1980s, the rights to use the Moog Music name in the United Kingdom were purchased by Alex Winter of Caerphilly, Wales, who commenced limited production of an updated Minimoog in 1998 as the '''Moog Minimoog 204E'''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/moog-minimoog-204e|title=Moog Minimoog 204E|website=Soundonsound.com|access-date=22 April 2021}}</ref> The 204E added [[Pulse-width modulation|pulse width modulation]] and [[MIDI]] to the Model D specification.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Voyager By Bob Moog|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/voyager-by-bob-moog|access-date=22 April 2021|website=Soundonsound.com}}</ref>[[File:Minimoog 1979 left 2017 right.jpg|thumb|Minimoog from 1979 (left) and 2017]] In 2002, Robert Moog reacquired the rights to the Moog name and bought the company. In 2002, Moog Co released the [[Minimoog Voyager]], an updated version of the Minimoog that sold more than 14,000 units, more than the original Minimoog.<ref name="Wired" /> Although the Welsh incarnation of Moog Music went into administration shortly afterwards, Winter retained the rights to the Moog name in the UK, with the result that the [[Minimoog Voyager]] was launched there as the '''Voyager by Bob Moog'''.<ref name=":0" /> In 2016, Moog Music began manufacturing an updated version of the Model D, with an independent LFO and MIDI, and an aftertouch and velocity-sensitive keyboard.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/moog-minimoog-model-d|title=Moog Minimoog Model D|website=Soundonsound.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-11-28}}</ref> Production ended around August 2017, after a little under a year.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/moog-is-ending-production-of-the-minimoog-model-d|title=Moog is ending production of the Minimoog Model D|work=MusicRadar|access-date=2018-11-28|language=EN-GB}}</ref> In 2018, Moog Music released the Minimoog Model D app for [[iOS]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.factmag.com/2018/03/26/moog-minimoog-model-d-ios-app/|title=Moog turns its iconic Minimoog Model D synth into a fully-featured iOS app|date=2018-03-26|work=FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music.|access-date=2018-11-30|language=en-US}}</ref> In 2022, after being out of production for over five years, the Model D was reissued a third time.
