It's a $300 minimoog with better midi implementation, modulation options, and a smaller footprint. I don't have $5-$10k laying around for an original minimoog or even a reissue, so this is the next best thing. It's great and it's an affordable way for people like me to get that Moog sound without the price tag. I use what I can afford, no apologies.

Lots of assignable pads/knobs/faders, great DAW integration, plays nice with Analog Lab 4 right out of the box. 49 keys sounds small but it feels plenty big enough for me. Love it.

It sounds great and nearly all of the its functions are on the front panel. The only menu-diving you need to do is if you're using the mod matrix. I really don't like menu-diving so this is perfect for me. Digital oscillators sound very interesting, don't be put off by the fact that they aren't analog. The analog filter gives it more than enough warmth. It doesn't sound like a Moog, but it's a great sound nonetheless. 3osc per voice can make some great textures, and I've found the 8 voices to be more than enough. Plus the onboard effects sound pretty darn good, and the balanced outputs keep the noise down. It's my workhorse hardware polysynth.
