Hello Everybody,
Hank here. I have not yet purchased a moog voyager, but I cannot get the unit out of my mind. The rich analog sound, the orange (I am looking at a Solar) lights, the fine wood trim...I understand that there are keyboards out there that do more for less, but Moog represents an authenticity that is missing in the digital music I produce.
Of course, my significant other thinks otherwise. I own a Virus TI that doesn't sound bad, but I still feel like I am missing something. I have never played a true analog synth. The best digital approximation I have heard, I think, is the Korg Legacy Collection, which I own.
My big question is, of course...do you think it is worth it? The Moog Voyager's are EXPENSIVE, and they don't do a whole lot when you think about it. But, I can appreciate a fine instrument. I pid $675 for a handmace dulcimer from a craftsman because it was unique--nothing else looked or sounded quite like it. Are you Voyager owners satisfied that your units are similarly unique? Do you have any regrets about purchasing it? Would you do it again?
Appreciate all the feedback you can give. I am right on the edge of purchasing one of these things but I am worried that I will get it and be bored with it in a week.
Thanks again for the input.
