It definately has the moog character, but to me it also sounding much more modern, maybe a harder cleaner edge to edge? Hard to describe meaningfully.
Nick - as an electro bass synth - yeh definately. I wouldnt dump a load of loot for a voyager tho - too much of what I do needs some poly. LP on the other hand - maybe.
I actually use a Novation KS-Rack alot for bass sounds - if you have a chance - go play with one cos they can be had really cheap, though very hard to still find them new - probably loads coming up on ebay for next to nothing. There are also keyboard vesions - KS4 and KS5.
Only one filter, standard 12/24, LP/BP/HP but a very nice filter character. No substitute for a moog, but as far as digital synths go - there is definately something about it that puts me more in mind of an older analog - especially with its filter overdrive/q-normalise functions which allow for some very nice like tonal shaping through the filter that would be good for electro noises.
