The sound is amazing for the price, but since the only real Moog I have is a Multimoog and I've never had a Mini, I find myself depending on demos to try and see if I'm missing anything. For bass patches, the only complaint I've been able to make is that the filter and loudness decay knobs both seem to have very narrow sweet spots. All the decay times under a second seem to be in a very small area of the knob range. Then again, with only a Multi as a reference, maybe Minis are like that? Judging from the excellent bass tone and all the demos that mostly show the Behringer doing lots and lots of bass patches, this seems to be the part of the cloning that everyone, both manufacturer and users alike, seems to have paid the most attention to. For lead patches though...hmmm. Nobody seems to demonstrate those online much. And the ones I've been getting are...well, not awful, but not everything a Mini is supposed to be capable of either. Maybe they never paid that much attention to its sound with the filters more open? Or maybe I'm just not familiar enough with Mini patches yet? It has given me an excellent source of Minimoog bass (without the price), and has also made me appreciate my Multimoog more for the many things it seems to still do better (almost anything dark and fuzzy down in the deep bass and low mids, or anything noisy and chaotic). The Multimoog is a pain to work with over CV/gate sometimes, but I totally recommend it. It's not the Moog you were asking about, but it's a monster of a synth if you want tone. -- - Brent Busby + =============================================== + With the rise of social networking -- Studio -- + sites, computers are making people -- Amadeus -- + easier to use every day. ----------------+ ===============================================
