Congratulations on the buy, hope you enjoy it. If you do in fact moogslay your poly, I would highly suggest putting an internal battery in as well. The Moogslayer is pretty nice, mostly just for having the filter cut right there, but putting a battery in it was oh so much more helpful. After writing a new patch for patch number 11 about 6 times, I was ready to throw it out the window. I hastily made my way to radio shack and soldered a battery into it immediately, all is well now.
