Greg's challenge 2007
Hey, Greg... I knew you would get Mark M's attention with that head-to-head-to-head challenge !!
What a great resource that would be to hundreds of viewers of this Moog Forum and others, such as Mr. Mosc's electro-music.com site.
All I would ask is that you explore a very wide range of timbres, modulations, and note pitch.
I can't wait... bless you both !!!

Not suprised to hear it. CreamWare did a very nice job with the MiniMax and everyone who has tried one has come away with highly favorable impressions, including my buddy Brian, who owns a Model D.Sweep wrote:Thanks Greg. It's a relief to hear someone's picking up the Creamware stuff.
Incidentally I know two professional musicians who are using the MiniMax, both of whom previously used MiniMoogs. They're both very favourably impressed with it.
And the 12 voice polyphony doesn't hurt, either...

My friend Brian and I are in the planning stages on this, and it may be a couple of weeks until we can get it done and have something to post. Be patient, and thanks for your suggestions!ramechling wrote:Hey, Greg... I knew you would get Mark M's attention with that head-to-head-to-head challenge !!

Stay tuned on this - BrianG and I are still working to put some things together for everyone to hear. We just spent some time in his studio recording some Minimoog, Voyager and Minimax demo clips, and have a few more to go. We're trying to capture a fairly broad range of sounds to illustrate how each synth fairs against the others. I can tell you that it's been rather enlightening already, and we're not done yet. So hang in there - it's coming!gd wrote:I've read that a few pro's have used them as a substitute for the MemoryMoog for some of their live gigs. This I would have liked to have seen and heard personally, I am finding this and the new Solaris very intriguing.

The emulations sound *like* the originals in terms of tone colors; where they differ is the digital lack of fullness, power & dimensionality of analog. Pretty good though not the same.

Interesting you should mention the steel drum. This one of the sounds from the Minimoog PatchBook that we're working on, and the one proving the most difficult to get right on all three synths. Brian came up with an alternate patch on his Minimoog (it's different from the Patchbook steel drum) that seemed to work well, so we may end up using that one instead.
My buddy Brian and I did some work in his studio earlier in the summer, but haven't been able to get back together since to finish the demos. We talked about it just yesterday (really!) and are planning to return to the comparison tests soon.gd wrote:anymore news on the comparison of the ASB and Moog Greg?

Okay - just kidding. Seriously, any word on when you plan to post those samples?
