[sdiy] ... Simulating a Moog

[Tim Parkhurst]

And what is the general consensus on the Arturia soft Moogs? The Modular V
seems like a very cool soft synth and yes I know, it's 'not the real thing.'
But for about $200 I can get a polyphonic, patchable modular, and it looks
like it's a gas to play with. Agreed, nothing beats having real knobs and
circuits to play with (and modify), but has anyone out there used the
Modular V? Their CS0-80 soft synth looks pretty cool too, any reports on
that one?
