has anyone ever noticed that there are a lot of people who just worship moog synthesizers, or vintage synthesizers in general. but all they own is new stuff. they have a nord lead and a micro korg and they just won't shut up about moog. as was pointed out in an earlier thread, the price range between these synths is not that vast. and they really are just as durable as anything new. do you think that maybe people are afraid to let go of their new stuff (that has built in effects, sequencers, arpeggiators, etc.) for somthing that is basically just you and your imagination? you know what i mean?
i remeber when i was about 12 i had this really crazy, brand new yamaha keyboard that did everything. even when i got some vintage stuff (like a prodigy) i still used the yamaha to record and just recorded little moog things over top of it. so when i (unexpectedly) got a really good offer to sell the yamaha i was scared to have to do everything myself from scratch with just a prodigy, juno6 and a drum machine. but i sold the yamaha, mostly because i was too embarassed not too. and when i was thrown into the deep end i discovered i could swim! true story.-Digory Kirke

There are benefits in both, anyone can see that.

I don't understand why people are so snob about digital synthesizers.
I've given this a lot of thought, and you're all wrong.

Playing high is not about the keyboard.
Indeed they are.
i always play high, i live on the sixth floor.
Oh wow.
for me it mostly depends on the interface.
could a joke be any worse? no.
First of all, digital is fine for what digital does.

No, no, no, simply not true.
i would not mind at all to have a moog synth without memories.
I agree that a talented musician is special compared to a wannabe.
Yes, I'd agree about the magic of the moment.
I love digital synths, software synths and my Voyager.
I'm sort of in the middle on the patch memories thing.
another aspect of analog synthesis with moog instruments is that a pla...
You're right, let me retract part of what I'm saying.
I find the MMV too distracting; moving from one view to the other.
