Minimoog Model D vs Moog Voyager Comparison



Now, I'm a big Moog fan, but I wonder if the day came where I wanted to buy a Minimoog, if I would go vintage or new. This video shows off a nice demonstration of the two compared side by side. The MIDI and additional options on the Voyager are great, but the Model D will always win out for its fuzzier sound. Even so, both would sound great. I did find an article comparing the actual waveforms along with the Little Phatty, but can't seem to find it now... hrm...

I've always wondered how performers get really good at the drum pads.  They're kind of unusual as they don't really equate to any other instrument so easily... a bit like keyboards meets drumming for your fingers.  I found this excellent video through Reddit that I thought I'd share.  Try it out on your new drum machine gifts!  Perfect for anyone who got a Tempest recently...
