Members Jonny_Q Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've been listening to alot of music featuring the Moog, I think it would be a worthy addition to my other pieces vintage gear - I love the sound! The problem is, the MiniMoog is way out of my price range. However, I've seen the MicroMoog and Moog Rogue go for prices that I can afford. Anything wrong with going with either of those two units?

Members AJP Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 I used to own a Micro, and I miss it. Just wasn't into the upkeep required by vintage gear. Great sound out of that thing, though, and even though it's a single oscillator, it has a cool "doubling" function that fattens it up. The filter was awesome in typical Moog style. Never played a Rogue, but it appears that the footage and waveform selector switches are shared between oscillators... seems like that would be rather limiting. I do know, though, that it can kick out wicked bass. If the Mini's out of your range (like it is mine), why not look into a Little Phatty? That's why they made it!

Members The Real MC Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 The Rogue won't go into subbass range unless you control it from a MIDI/CV box. The one thing that is unique is the swept hard sync, it really screams. Good lead synth machine but not much else. The Micromoog can get subbass and is a great FX machine, surprisingly flexible but don't expect Minimoog timbres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MFenkner Posted June 8, 2007 Members Share Posted June 8, 2007 Is a Little Phatty in your price range? It wouldn't require the maintenance of a vintage synth, but it still has a that great Moog sound. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the build quality/sound are comparable to earlier budget Moogs though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently made a video that compares the Rogue with the LP - this may be of interest to you: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonny_Q Posted June 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thats the sound I'm looking for Looks like I'll be buying the LP eventually than! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhinyLittleRunt Posted June 9, 2007 Members Share Posted June 9, 2007 I personally love my Micromoog, but there's no doubt the LP can do way more and store your patches, and work via MIDI. I use mine mostly for bass, but that's ok because the bass sounds alone are worth the price of this synth. But when you get to doing leads, you find that with the one osc most of them aren't biting enough to sound that great. Unless you're going for that 1970's porno-esque sound...
