I've got both an MOTM and an A6. In fact, in my studio, the modular
sits directly above the A6.
The A6's modulation routings are so deep that one could almost consider
it a polyphonic modular. Obviously you don't get the physicality of an
honest-to-god _patch_, but I mean in possible signal paths, it's pretty
impressive. I find that working on one of them (either the MOTM or the
A6) gives me ideas for techniques that transfer readily to the other,
and that they compliment each other very nicely.
Sonically: the MOTM is "bigger", and the MOTM Moog Filter is much
closer to the real thing than the version in the A6, but still the A6
does a really good Memorymoog/Source, Matrix 12, and CS-80. If you
don't own one of those already, don't bother looking. Just get the A6.
What it doesn't do, your MOTM probably can.
There is an A6 mailing list at www.code404.com.
