So far, so good.
It really is a expressive as any "instrument" out there. It's easy to be totally connected to it when you're playing and the immediacy and spontaneity that comes from the Minimoog has been unparalleled.
The backlit panel in the "electric blue" is so cool to look at too. That should become standard on all keyboards with lots of knobs, as it makes it much easer to see on a darkened stage.
I feel like i was right back playing my Model D from the 70s and there was no learning curve. The sound is simply amazing and for what it does, it does it better than anything else out there. If that Moog sound is what you're after, you need a Moog.
I haven't had this much fun with a synth in years, although when I first got my Virus Ti, I felt very much the same way. It's just the Minimoog is a simpler beast to use than the Virus, (and also more limited in its application, by the virtue of it being monophonic, no effects, arps or other more advanced digital goodies).
Anyway, between the Virus and the Minimoog, it really sounds like the aliens have invaded my neighborhood.
More to come, I'm sure!!!
