..well, kind of!

Took my AE to SynthDIY in Cambridge, UK this weekend. Its funny but it got a totally mixed reception. It was almost like anyone over 35ish could/would not accept it had anything to do with the Minimoog, let alone Moog. Everyone else was very impressed. Being a SynthDIY meeting you have to remember these guys are pretty hardcore synth geeks.

Its quite frustrating as I have no way to defend this point, having never used an original Mini. I know it should not matter but hey.. I guess I should have copies these comments from Gordon Reid's excellent review, maybe with the first paragraph in bold:

[http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Jun03/articles/moogvoyager.asp]

It's now time to disagree with the yobs on the net who state that the Voyager sounds "nothing like a real Minimoog". I don't have a clue what they're talking about and, to be honest, neither do they.

This statement isn't based on memory, or some rose-tinted memories of the sound of a near-mint, vintage Minimoog. For the bulk of this review, an original Minimoog (number 11235, to be precise) sat next to the Voyager, and direct comparisons were available.

The similarities between the two are unmistakeable when you listen to the oscillators without filtering. Somehow, and I don't know how, the Voyager has been imparted with that indefinable 'Moogyness'; that warm growl that always set the Minimoog and its modular forebears apart from the crowd.

Being very picky, I found that some of the Voyager's waveforms were slightly brighter than the Minimoog's equivalents, requiring me to close the filter slightly to make them all-but indistinguishable from each other. Others required that the filter remained wide open. But, in all cases, the differences between the Voyager and my Minimoog were no greater than between two dissimilar Minimoogs.Paul
