Leave a Review Model 15 Modular Synthesizer
Would give it five stars but...
This thing is so much fun, especially on a mobile device. Learning to patch a Moog system has been a very rewarding experiance, which has produced a bunch of really awesome sounds. When I turned off "ECO" mode the sound gained a little extra sparkle that reminds me of my analog gear! I love the clip recorder too so I can make little james and save them to sample or chop up in my DAW later.
HOWEVER: the dots on the knobs are so tiny that it's difficult to see the position sometimes even on my 27" screen, let alone on a mobile device. It makes this beautiful synth a real chore to use sometimes. It's such a problem that I decided to dock two stars. It's that bad. Moog should take notes from Arturia's designers, who have solved this problem already on their Moog clones.Show lessI have a time machine!
I'm a 72 year old synthesist. Oh. My. Goodness. This is, first, an amazing effort by all Electronic Music disciplines to create a finely detailed WORKING instrument. An instrument that I played and performed with the original version on stage during those crazy Moog '70's gigs. Second, it's all here! All the CV modules! It's surreal! The voicing is just so sweet...and that is just playing it solo for, well, hours! I'm joyful that, after 50 years I can experience this Model 15 but also the Model D plugins for my DAW. Whether toying with my past musical memories or exploring new combinations and settings, searching for that sound that stirs the soul, THIS is THE synth modular you need.Show lessFavorite music app!
I really love this app like none other. I spent my life looking at pictures of Keith Emerson’s monster moog and wondering what all those wires did. Now I know!
In a practical sense, it is my go to synth app because: 1) the software is rock solid. Works as plug-in to every DAW I try with no issue. 2) it’s more versatile than others. Most synths are hard wired in ways that allow for common setups, but you can’t change them. This let’s you wire up sounds that others cannot dream about. 3) I personally like following the wires to find a setup, rather than remembering how a switch or setting affects something else.
Learning curve is higher than some, but all the presets really help. That’s a luxury Keith Richards didn’t have when trying to figure it out 50 years ago.Show less
