Yeah the Model D is well limited,cough,I have used a Micromoog and a Rogue too but never a Multimoog so can't comment.
They used to sell the Realistic MG-1 here in the UK in Tandy/Radio Shack stores I think it got totally ignored.
Teisco 110F though was interesting,Kawai wasn't it,they have made some great stuff I used to have the SX240 and I still have the K4R,K1,K1M,K50e drum machine.
Can't say |I love Yamaha analogue synths too much or Italian synths apart from the Bit99,although I have never heard of the Elektor Modular guess kit built like a Maplin5600,Transcendent2000 etc

Hello Daniel,
 
I do like the sound and filter, but I agree the Model D is limited, but has a very distinct sound and isn't boring afaik.
I use the Moog model D together with other mono's (Realistic MG-1, Teisco 110F, Yamaha CS-15 + modulized CS-5, Crumar DS-2 and Elektor Modular)
 
But we are hi-jacking this thread I believe.
 
So for the TS: Yes Poly800 is analog and highly modifiable !!
 
Cheers Peter

That "legendary" ladder filter? It looks nice in schematics... I
didn't mind its sound, this is not the worse thing on Minimoog.

I had three, sold them all. Never understood why everybody wants them,
and why even it's copied in other instruments. Nice piece of furniture
and technology, for sure. But why everybody wants to sound like
thousands of other players? Minimoog has rather limited possibilities,
I was disappointed from its concept. No dedicated LFO, VCO sync,
limited audio FM, simple envelopes... Just boring. There are really
more interesting instruments, I still keep my Multimoog. It offers more.
