Well the reason for the “minimoog” is because the Voyager RME is too expensive for most people. The people who don’t care about sounding exactly as a real minimoog probably buy it and they get 6 voices. I think it looks pretty and much cooler then say Virus. It is perfect for controlling other MIDI instruments.
Being a Creamware user, I just have to say this company doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves. Their synthplugins are THE BEST on the market. The other dx stuff like arturia etc. is not even close. The Minimax sounds very close to the original. Closer than the Voyager in many areas in fact. If you want proof of the superiority of Creamware synths (Pro1, Prodessy and Minimax are great), just fool around with the resonance. This is one of several areas where the other software synths fall short of Creamware. They also have excellent 3rd party devellopers like John Bowen. His Solaris synth must be the most comprehensive synth construction ever made. There’s not a lot it can’t do, and it sounds better than most of the VA-hardware stuff out there.
Only one problem with all VA sizers… It doesn’t matter how near the original sizer it sounds it is not the original. The hardware is crap, sound vice it can’t real analogue sizer because of the digital dynamics (24/96 is not enough). In the future when a VA has 64Bit, 256 KHz, an algorithm that simulate the drift of analogue VCO’s they will still not recreate the hardware of a real old analogue sizer
I think the CreamWare sizers sounds good but not like a real Model D might work for dance musicians.
