You're right, it's ridiculous not to call these "classic moog", it's just that I personally don't think they're very good synths.ghettosynth wrote:Now, consider the MemoryMoog, is that a real Moog? Almost every circuit in the MemoryMoog, save the filter, is a CEM chip. That's EVERY SINGLE CIRCUIT. The envelopes, the oscillators and the majority of, if not all,of the VCAs are CEM chips. These are the exact same CEM chips used in the Prophet 5 rev 3. The MemoryMoog does have ladder filters for all of its voices and this probably accounts for a lot of the fatness. So is the MemoryMoog "classic moog" ?
Now what about that AR envelope? It's a simple design based on an opamp. It's not "classic moog", but there's nothing special about the AR envelop in the Moog Rogue either, so who cares?
With that said, I imagine that a strong argument could be made that the Minitaur and Sub Phatty aren't "classic moog", yet those are excellent synths so what does it really matter? The sound examples of the Werkstatt-01 sound quite different from the Volca Bass and Arturia synths to me.
