Does SampleMoog sound as good as the free Arturia Minimoog that was available not long ago? Just wondering. I've never heard it.

I'll let you know Kreative as soon as I finish downloading.....the program is small....24 MB...but the Instrument Libraries are
pretty huge....5 parts of about 800 MB each....there are apparently 16 different Moogs included...

The free one from Arturia Sounded good...and my IK stuff has been very nice...so I'm waiting to see...

I missed the Sonic Synth deal....so when I found this on the Esoundz website with a free expansion (I got the Vocal Collection) I snagged it.

Those who are waiting will probably have to pay up the Gazotz when the 64 bit versions come out...

I think an upgrade price would be smarter then just waiting...but ...that's just me....

I'm hoping Miroslav is next.....I'll get that too...

And where is IK Obi on this one????  LOL

I wouldn't have bought this at full price, but I jumped on the opportunity. I wasn't expecting all that much but this thing is sweet. Definitely worth a lot more than $30.

Ok so now, all that's left is Sampletank XL - which I really don't need - and upgrading Miroslav to full (but unfortunately there's no upgrade path, so I guess I'll have to wait until the next bargain.

Looking back, it would have been easier to grab the super bundle deal a couple of months ago.

Incidentally, may be worth asking here...

Do any of you guys have issues when auditioning patches in IK's synths? It may be an OS thing, I'm not sure. But whenever I'm browsing though patches, at first they load in a glimpse. But after a while, the patch themselves loads just as quickly, but once they're loaded, after a second or two, it's like the synth needs to work in the background to update the GUI or something. I can play the synths just fine, but I get the beach ball (Mac OS) for 10-12 seconds and I can't tweak anything.

This happens both in standalone mode and in my host, w/ all the SampleTank based instruments.

I'll be looking back in here to get your opinions on the sound of SampleMoog. I'd rather not pay the 64 bit price if it sounds good. 

Kreative - I think it sounds VERY good.

But, I'm a guitarist first. As much as I love synths and as much as I try to learn and educate myself, I'm not the kind of guy who'll be able to appreciate all the most subtle details.

That being said, I've played w/ it for a while tonight and though I can't really tell that it is as lively and as right there as Arturia's Minimoog, it's definitely based on high quality samples. They don't sound dull or lifeless and the Sampletank engine allows you to tweak and push it even furthers.

If you want a Moog that you can tweak and create your own patches from scratches w/, that's not it. If you want a huge library of Moog patches which sound great as is and which that you can fine tune, SampleMoog is terrific (and inspiring - I was busy recording a new song idea minutes after I started playing w/ it. ;) )

I'm totally with you on the full price thing Rain...

But at $30...this IS a STEAL!!!  And a free Sampletank Pack....It has 16 different Moogs....

Kreative....I agree with Rain...it sounds REALLY good!  I'm a guitarist also...but this thing sounds good...

It's 32 bit....but, the way I see it...when the new one comes out...if it's a complete update and 64 bit I'll get an upgrade price
and not the full price...so that's a bonus...and good marketing on IK's Part!
And if it's just a free update to the 64 bit host....that's even better!
