Or Corona.

If you want that fat grumbling raw MOOOGish sound, then be sure to get Minimonsta. It tries to emulate that and nails it pretty much imho.

If you want a more versatile and more smoooth virtual retro-analogish synth, then Saurus should be your first choice.

So what are you looking for exactly?

Moog or not, here's a grumbling, raw bass from Saurus:

Moogus funkus bass

They are both discontinued, well Albino is going to be soon. Shame though, I would have liked Pro-53, dunno why NI don't release it as freeware unsupported.

No , not at all. Each synth has it's own sound, it's own character, if one synth did it all, we'd all be using that one, but guess what, we don't.

I love minimonsta. I never tried saurus, but I can't imagine it competing without the melohman. dead simple to route too. Just my 2c.

Not to plug my current DAW

but in Studio One any synth can replace any other, you just drag it from the browser onto the old synth's track and it asks 'Do you want to replace this instrument?' click 'Yes' and voila! Easy peasy!

Not to ruin your joy, about that daw that uses more cpu than the synths in it, but in both Live and Logic, the same feature exists, except you don't have a question box popping up to ask if you want to do it.
Your daw, apparently uses one more step than necessary.

See, I need a failsafe before I go and replace a perfectly good synth with something that makes fart sounds or something

unless I'm looking for fart sounds of course. BTW that was the original name of that famous Beach Boys record but it didn't go over well with the record company execs.

cos neither of them sound 'analogue' enough ?

albino was based around the virus sound and pro-53 just sounds harsh (which i quite like anyway, and i still like albino too)

i JUST got saurus today, and am loving it. decent soundset, great sound. i don't know minimonsta, so can't compare.
but saurus seems to be a good bridge between 'old school' sounds and 'new school' sounds.

Saurus or Minimonsta
