Great starter for subtractive synthesis/sound design
Sometimes you just need a single oscillator Moog to record resample or patch into other gear. This is that synth... It sounds great and gives a full range Moog presence along with the infamous ladder filter and LFOs. I flexes even better when you control with a CV controller like the Keystep. You can also put samples of the Werkstatt into a Simpler device on Ableton and play it polyphonically. Its extremely limited but has great connectivity options if you have other CV gear.

Ain't nothin like the real thing baby
I'm a pro musician, music educator and artist and just like the title says, there's a feeling when playing and hearing a real Rhodes that is unmatched. The resonance of a MKI and the feeling of playing one with wooden keys is a pinnacle in design. Beauty form and function. I don't have the bump mod on mine yet, but I'm curious to see how it might improve the key-bed action. Mine also still has the passive preamp, but running it through some pedals really wakes up the giant. I've had great results with the American Sound/Blonde pedal (made by Tech21, cloned by Joyo and others) as it gives great analog Fender Amp simulation. Next I use the Zoom MS-70 for modulation. Finally I patch it into my spring tank, another reverb pedal or my Space Echo.
