Re: Quality and AH review

I would agree completely. I to was astounded when I first heard the MOTM sound. I play primarily Prog Rock, although I dabble in the electronica as well. The MOTM sound is absolutely the best for recording synth leads. The oscillators track wonderfully, and they are unbelieveably stable as well. I used to have to retune my Moog stuff every 10 or 15 minutes. You can come back to your MOTM 8 hours later and the oscs are still in tune. I have tried through out the years to determine just what it is that makes some synths sound so much better than others. I've looked at waveforms and spectra and FFT plots. I've never been able to explain it. Even many modules made by the same manufacturer often sound different from each other, with some sounding noticeably better. I always thought some of the earliest Moog stuff sounded far better than those modules which were made later even thought the later stuff was more stable. And most other manufacturers modules sounded thin or reedy. MOTM modules have balls!!! I've owned or played about every synth ever made and nothing sounds as good. Anyway, the rest of the modules in the MOTM family are every bit as good as the oscillators. It is for this reason that many of us MOTMers are willing to wait months or even years for new modules. They are always worth the wait!!!
