MicroMoog love?

Finally got to sit down with one of these. Hands down my favorite Moog.

 

I always had a hunch.. but never took the plunge. Had a chance to buy one in mint shape for about $500 once... but took the guys SH-7 instead.

 

Anyone know the specifics on the parts inside this thing? there's gotta be something special going on in there.

 

btw - anyone else feel that sometimes 1 OSC synths just sounds better than 2?

most of the time I use one osc in both my Mini and Voyager,, in fact most of the best patches in the Voyager are one osc anyway...

 

3 oscs come into their own when you tune the oscs to different intervals to create chords on a key... I love that sound... esp in 4ths and 5ths..

Never played a MicroMoog before.

 

But I picked up a Rogue in mint shape Tuesday night from the same guy that sold me a Crumar Orchestrator on Monday night. It's been a big week for synth buying.

 

As for one osc. vs. two, my favorite mono synth (that I own) is my ARP Explorer I, which is a single osc. machine. I love the tone, character and simplicity. It's clearly a female synth, while my other two monosynths are male (if that makes any sense).

i love Multimoog, which is a Micromoog with two oscillators. i played one and was blown away how warm, and very organic it is. very 70s sounding compared to later, more punchy/rip/agressive designs like source/prodigy/late moogmusic mini (the new osc board). tho i like those too. all have their use.

 

 

personally, i'd never change any old moog for a DSI product, or a newer moog product for that matter, in my right mind.

makes total sense! :thu:

 

My Jen SX1000 is a girl for example. Not just cause it's name is Jen.
