Just uploaded my first Voyager demo video.

It's the Select Series Fire.

[MikeTheTeacher]

Nice! I have to record some better quality video.

Mike do you think the little phatty or source come close to the Voyager in terms of the spectrum of sounds each can produce?

TIA

[MikeTheTeacher]

Haven't played the phatty. I've played the source. I think both give the Voyager a run for theior money, given the phatty and source can be had for a lot less. The voyager has the control surface and presets, but no arpeggiator [phatty].

The more I play it the ore one realizes it's, like Bob Moog, a real interactive thing with a life of it's own, hence no matter how good the emulation, it's still an emulation. The thing lives and breathes as you play it.

"MrGrieves425" had this comment:

you should just throw that out and get a new hobby

Like what, Mr Grives? Sitting on the computer all day watching videos and typing Angry Typing Guy comments? I'm sorry your life has no purpose or meaning other than sitting at home being angry, but that's not my problem. Cheers!

There's a huge difference between an analog synth like this, with such a strong signature sound, and a digital plug in.

Tons of plugins can sound close, but fail to capture the size and the feel you get from the real deal.

If I had this thing I would never leave the house. I own a Moog LP and love it. I think my next synth has to be poly and am looking at the Prophet 08 but might get a Tetra 4 to save some loot.

[HomeGrownDubs]

Go with what you like, Analog, Digital, Software ALL of it!

[Guakingo]

Reminds me of Wakeman, some fabulous chops there

[Cepsoelo]

If you're after smth "similar" to Minimoog for little money, try to find Waldorf Pulse. You can't go wrong with this thing. Little Phatty is cool, the new DSI Tetra is cool (+ polyphonic). All depends on how much you want to spend...

[thrcman]

Depends how much you want to spend. And do you want analog? Monophonic or polyphonic?

For any first synth player I think I would recommend the Little Phatty. Its easy interface and great looks, not to mention price is a perfect startup package. However, in my opinion, it sounds a little thin. I would invest a little extra and get yourself the Prophet 08. Analog polyphony madness, and it will always be a worthy contender in your future synth collection. Check it out!

[thrcman]

I have both a Moog Voyager and A Virus TI Polar. Analog is ALWAYS fatter. But the Moog Voyager does not have polyphony, which the Polar does, so you create chrods that sound way fuller than any monophonic instrument. Still, the Polar is digital.

Minikorg.

[F0nkyNinja]

Amazing.

[stigb56]

NICE !! Minimoog is the best what a sound !!!

[TomZentra]

Begin with something inexpensive (less than $1,000). After you are familiar with what a synth can do, then you can upgrade to something more expensive, such as a Moog or Virus.
