Most importantly, this thing sounds crazy good imo.
If anyone cares how it compares to a real moog soundwise, there are some videos online, and to me, in a lot of cases you almost can't tell the difference. Some knobs act slightly differently, and for some sounds, you will hear a difference for better or worse.
The Model D also has some neat extra features, and you can really do alot of crazy sound design here. Also very easy to dial in a cool sound once you know you way around it.
On the other hand, I think it has quite a few draw backs too:
- The knobs!!! Most feel great with good resistance, but the range and wave form knobs in the oscillator section are super flimsy - almost all of mine are wiggling (some of them a lot), and I can even pull off two of them with no force what so ever. Easily fixed with some shrink wrap for example, but still really sad to see on a brand new product.
- The colored knobs are a bit plasticy looking, but I can live with that - maybe some other less "intense" colors would help a bit to look less toyish
- Bad tuning. My unit drifts quite a bit between octaves, so it needs some tweaking in the DAW if I play larger ranges. This is a known issue, and there are guides on how to tune it, but I've never gotten around to acquiring the needed equipment and following the guide. Will have to do that at some point. Still sad that the tuning is that bad out of the box.
That said, I still use it all the time - it sounds great. I can't knock off too many stars, since I think it's incredible what you get for the price here, in spite of the above.
