Sounds lush! Moog gear always sounds so, good? High quality? Expensive?? Hahah! Slowed down to click, right through to making the dog stare frequencies is so clean and tight. I own zero Moog synths and am in no way a Moog fan boy so more than happy to be told I’m talking nonsense but let me know if you know what I mean by that rambling hahah! This was a real surprise though. Such a wide and varied scope of sounds. Both nasty and beautiful in equal measures. Great video bud.

Moog stuff is pretty high quality, which is why it generally costs more. Give them props for still making synth cases out of metal and wood instead of cheap plastic, too.

So is this pretty much like the MURF but as a euro rack unit?

@josbouten 13 күн бұрын

The 'hold' function suggests that the device in 'free'-mode uses a free running (i.e. continuously updating) sample&hold function to control the VCAs for the carrier signal bands, and in hold mode this will keep the last sampled envelope follower output values for each band pass filter fixed. That implies that the VCAs are controlled on a clocked basis. Is this audible in any way?

@loopop 13 күн бұрын

Hold doesn't touch the VCAs directly, it indeed "sample and holds" the envelope followers, and yes it's audible for sure on any program audio (you can trigger hold in the patch bay)
