[motm] Re: Worth replacing a MiniMoog?

2002-08-06 by elhardt@att.net

As usual, people are too caught up in whether one synth 
can be made to sound exactly like another. An MOTM 
modular has a lot more resources than a Mini does, so it 
can sound better than a Mini if need be. That should be 
the more important point. You just need to patch up a 
sound to the point where it sounds great. Whether a Mini 
can or can't duplicate it is a non-issue.

And I agree with the other guy, my MOTM sounds bigger 
and better than my Andromeda too.

However I can also understand wanting to use a pre-wired 
synth for sounds where you don't need the flexibility of 
a modular.  I'll never get rid of my Multimoog.  
However, if that synth is as limited as a Micro, I've 
never quite understood the appeal of super-limited 
synths with a single oscillator, single EG, and stripped 
down features, such as the Micro, SH-101, Junos, etc. 
They're easy to program, but all you get is bland and 
boring sounds.

For anybody who needs to know, my new e-mail address is 
elhardt@.... After 8 years I finally got out of AOL 
hell.
