Members kpatz Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 He probably thinks they're worth more than the Jupiter-8. Which brings up a good question, which synth *is* worth more? JP-8 or MM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members moog man Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 The MM is the phattest synth I have ever played, though I have never played a Model D or a JP8 so I am not sure how it compares. From what I've heard I think I'd take a MM over any other synth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oldgearguy Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Old one: Why are they a waste of time? I've always been curious about them. Soundxplorer had it right -- just a jab at another thread. In practice, when I had my MemoryMoog (LAMMed too) I rarely used it. It was big and fat and limited (from a sonic palette view). I know I'll get a lot of crap from MM lovers for that, but the fact is, why equip a machine with 18 oscillators if it's more versatile with most of them turned off? If you want/need a big blast of raw analog, the MemoryMoog is your go-to machine. For everything else, I had machines that created what I needed better faster and more seamlessly. Yes, you can create a delicate string sound, or a solo flute type patch, but why unless it's your only synth. The bottom line is that the idea of owning a MM was better than the reality of actually having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MM definitely did have a limited sonic palette compared to a lot of other synths. I got bored with it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members augerinn Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi ! I am very much interested in your (Memorymoog Plus - Vintage - $5121) and wish to purchase said item in great trust immediately. I am prepared to pay the asking price, in addition to the extra amount of $1500.00 dollars US for your trouble. I ask only that you accept a Money Order drawn on the bank of butt{censored}, which you will deposit into your account while sending to me the funds, less the price for your item and resonable expenses for you time.

Members cyranew Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 ("Where the hell did he pull this price out of?") I know it may sound ridiculous, but I actually sold my MM+ a few years ago on eBay for $3,800, to a techno guy in Europe. So this seller's price is pretty darned steep, but there are folks out there who just must have this board. It brings up the question -- what's a fair market price for something increasingly rare, when you've got to have a particular sound and can't get it with modern gear? In that vein, I wonder what I'd pay for a mint Matrix-12. More than I should, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tow the party line and spew the same rhetoric that you can find with a google search or I can relay my own experiences based on actually owning all this gear at the same time. a) Wow! MemoryMoog - like 6 MiniMoogs in one! Biggest baddest synth ever! b) For me, the MemoryMoog was a limited synth compared to the other vintage analogs I had at the same time and I found it harder to fit into a mix than any other synth I owned. The MIDI, even with LAMM, was fairly primitive, and as a result of all that, I decided to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 Harder to fit in a mix? Man, this thing can cut through STEEL in unison mode! Oo' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChromaLord Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 It would be worth it if it had all the modifications and updated MIDI. AND was in the excellent shape it appears to be AND came in a road case AND included all shipping/insurance/Paypal fees AND you were a Moog collector.Remember they were almost that price new. Its really not THAT far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goldphinga Posted February 17, 2009 Members Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well, thats not strictly true. The memorymoog tells you how many voices have tuned. My plus works like a dream in general.[ATTACH]287534[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
