Features and functionality
User experience
-
Some owners experience a "zippering" sound when using the pitch bend wheel via MIDI with the RME.
Source -
The RME is sometimes perceived as a compromise compared to the keyboard version, particularly due to its interface.
Source -
Users note that the Sub 37 tends towards aggressive tones, but it can produce softer sounds by keeping oscillators below 11 and minimizing overdrive.

Comparisons
-
The Studio Electronics Midi Mini is preferred by some for its raw, vintage sound over the Voyager.
Source -
The Pro 3's ladder filter is remarked upon for being close to Moog sounds during simple sync square activities, though not universally Moog-like across all tones.

The AJH modular setup, using two oscillators and one filter, is considered a worthy alternative to the Voyager and possibly more cost-effective than building a full modular system.
Source -

Minimoog with FM
So, why would you pay so much for an analogue monosynth with three oscillators and one filter and only a couple of LFOs?
Well, because it sounds...like THAT.
The Voyager can do FM too, taking it beyond the classic MiniMoog.

A top choice for mono synth enthusiasts on a budget
What can I say about this one, its one of the best mono synths out there. If you on budget try the lovely MINITAUR

I feel like the audio quality and the overall feel when playing this is just better than the standard keyboard :)
