As usual, people are too caught up in whether one synth
can be made to sound exactly like another. An MOTM
modular has a lot more resources than a Mini does, so it
can sound better than a Mini if need be. That should be
the more important point. You just need to patch up a
sound to the point where it sounds great. Whether a Mini
can or can't duplicate it is a non-issue.
And I agree with the other guy, my MOTM sounds bigger
and better than my Andromeda too.
However I can also understand wanting to use a pre-wired
synth for sounds where you don't need the flexibility of
a modular. I'll never get rid of my Multimoog.
However, if that synth is as limited as a Micro, I've
never quite understood the appeal of super-limited
synths with a single oscillator, single EG, and stripped
down features, such as the Micro, SH-101, Junos, etc.
They're easy to program, but all you get is bland and
boring sounds.
