[sdiy] ... Simulating a Moog

[Rude 66]

i've reviewed both the arturia moog and the cs80, among others. on their
own, they're nice if you don't mind working with softsynths. i don't, so
personally they don't do much for me. the sound is not bad and has the same
character as the exampl machines, but misses the balls, bite, power, etc.
i was more impressed with the gmedia oddity; being used more to the sound of
arps (25/2600) i found they nailed this very well.
and on my pc as well, both the cs80 and moog were a bit slow in graphics,
menus, etc..

(still soldering too, just fixed my casio pt-10, small brother of the vl-1
including the 'da da da' rhythm..;-)
