AW: [AH] Differences between Moog 10 and Moog 15 Modulars?

Well, I cloned the Moog Modular stuff and therefore "looked under the =
skirt" of the systems.

I like the Moog concepts and the sound of course, but you pay a lot of =
money for the branding and for non sound related technology what can be =
obtained cheaper.

The most sound influencing modules are filters, as 904abc, 907 and 914. =
These modules form the magic of Moog sounds. Other modules:

VCOs: Mainly function generators. A square is a square, a sine is a =
sine, a saw is a saw and so on. Nothing special about the waveforms, =
exception is the Moog saw of the Mini, which can be created by simply =
mixing a saw and a triangle though. There are some functional specials =
like the phase-lock-loop-like sync mechanism of the 921 or the =
semioctave thing which I don't consider as useful. Others might think =
different.

Enevelopes, VCAs, signal router, mixer, sequencer etc. don't create or =
influence the "specials" of a Moog sound, this is standard =
functionality.

On the other hand it is cool to be owner of a Moog Modular in my =
opinion, especially from a collectors point of view, but just for the =
sound they are just too expensive.

So Moog is reissuing the Moog 10 Modular, and in the past has reissued =
the Moog 15. Can anyone tell me the differences between these two units, =
and is there actually a less expensive alternative that gets =
=E2=80=9Cthat sound!=E2=80=9D? Just playing with the idea of jumping =
into modular synthesis at the deep end=E2=80=A6.
