[sdiy] ... Simulating a Moog

[Metrophage]

One pertinant question is: which Moog?I'd say that the later Moog Music
synths (after Dr Bob left the company) are not worthy of the effort to
emulate. Not to say that they aren't any fun to play! The most
distinctive Moogs I'd say have been the modular consoles and the
MiniMoog, for which there are already the Arturia softsynths, which
aren't bad. I am biased in that I have always thought that the "virtual
analog" hype is a waste of time. Analog synths are relatively cheep and
easy to make. Digital excels at different sorts of synthesis.

I recommend that for less expenditure of effort than making a DSP Moog
clone, you could build a real analog Moog clone. Many people in this
forum do appreciate the innovative circuits of Bob Moog, and have built
circuits which were inspired by the original Moogs. Check out Tony
Allgood's "one-of-three" VCOs, the filters from Tony and TomG.
Have fun!
