Yes. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago.

Love it. Very, very close sound to a real Moog modular. If you're looking
for that rubbery yet solid sound of Moog filters, this does a pretty
damned good job of it.

Buy it. You won't be disappointed. And contrary to popular belief, the
synth engine in Moog V is *NOT* a CPU hog. The graphical section is what
is giving it a bad name, as it's a REAL CPU hog, even on really stout
machines.
