Has anyone owned or played both a Multimoog and a Minimoog?
I have read variously that the Multi can and can't make a good Mini impression.
I have owned a Micro myself, and can absolutely attest to the difference in tone between a Micro and Mini. it didn't have the roundness and richness of tone that is the Minimoog sound (although it does have it's own charm and excells in some areas). I don't know what the technical reason for this is. It seemed to be more that just a missing oscillator, but then, who knows. I've read that the Mini and Micro are completely different and don't share the same ocs, filter, etc. architecture...
But then, I've read some descriptions from Multi owners who say the Multi (with 2 osc + sub osc.) has a much fuller tone than the Micro, and one that approaches a Minimoog's. Is this close to the truth?
I'm hoping that someone who owns, or has owned, both can give some testimony here.
Obviously, the Multi has many worthwhile attributes, many of which are lacking on a Minimoog, but I'd really like to know about it's sound from someone who knows Moogs and has firsthand experience with these synths.
I think alot of people who have used the much more common Micro(and know it's shortcomings in respect to the "Moog" sound) write off the much rarer Multi without actually having played one maybe. Meaning that many descriptions despairage Multi along with the Micro as inferior Moogs.
But it's hard to get the authentic scoop short of actaully buying one of these expensive and hard to find synths and trying it. So...
Anyone?
