The Moog One is for sure a real analog. You feel that right away. The sound quality was mixed for me. On the one hand, it has a diverse and solid sound. It does some amazing EP's and one of the plucked sounds when I first played it I thought it was a sampled guitar! On the other it is kinda tame. It is not a synth where you are going to push things into wild territory. The filters are a bit on the bland side. The Osc's are very diverse for analog. Each Osc can combine Saw/Tri (which itself can be morphed) with a Square wave that can be PWM. One thing I was a bit disappointed about is the Osc FM and Filter FM ignores the Square wave part. I really like the sound of PWM'ed Square FM'ing the filter or other Osc. There is no feedback circuit either. The modulation is insane for an analog synth (for any synth really).c0nsilience wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 10:13 pm Unfortunately, that's the price we pay for analog. Not that I would be able to acquire one in the foreseeable future, but this thread has already made me reconsider my initial infatuation with the Moog One.
Seriously, for half the cost, you can pick up a LinnStrument, a Mac Pro (cylinder) with decent RAM and a ton of super-powerful plugins that a room full of traditional hardware couldn't touch. Sure, it won't say 'Moog' on it, but it will have your own creative pedigree.
Ok, I'm done drinking the kool-aid!
Take away the fans, and it was almost the perfect analog synth... but the sound just didn't quite do it for me. And for $8K it's gotta be love at first listen!
