Posted at March 20, 2006, 4:25 pm: Hi! I'm thinking about buying an old discreet minimoog (#1047), but I have to travel into another town to look at it. It is supposed to be completely overhauled and in very good condition. I use to have a voyager, but now I'm regretting I sold it. However, I prefer the more aggressive sound of the original model D - so I'm thinking about getting one of those instead. The voyager is a bit too mellow for my taste, being a huge fan of the ELP-sound. Can anyone tell me, who've had experience with these oldest minimoogs, what kind of stability they have (warm-up, stability in pitch during playing, how often they need tuning/repair to keep them up and running) and how expensive it would be to keeping it in a good condition. And most importantly, how big sonical difference are we talking about here compared to a voyager - or newer more stable minimoogs for that matter? It's been a long time since I fiddled with a real minimoog, and I have no experience with those old so-called drifty/discreet models. From what I understand the filter also sound better on the old ones, because of the paired filters - how much difference are we talking about here? Basically the bigger, badder, snappyer, boomyer and sparklyer the sound is the happier I am. The synth would be used to band practices and gigs. (Argh, beware those that think of departing with your beloved Voyagers - you may come to regret it deeply later on. - And it's very difficult to get a good price for a used voyager - so you will loose a lot of money selling it compared to what you paid for it in the first place...) Thanks! PS: I know it's difficult to describe and compare sounds, but I can mention that I'm no big fan of minimoog VSTs, I think they sound flat and lifeless compared to the real thing...
