Actually GForce require a serial number and that’s it: not even challenge and response. Plus for me their emulations are better than Arturia’s (all subjective i know), i really didn’t like their Moog ones when i tried them (before the dongle busines started: i would never have tried them if that had been around). They tend to use the same technology from one product to the next, rather than building from scratch like GForce do: ARPs and Moogs do not have the same building blocks, this ain’t Lego.
Mind you, i use my Scope Minimax for Model D sounds and GForce for Oddity, impOSCar (i have a real OSCar too), M-Tron Pro and VSM.
In the 70’s I played the Taurus 1 thru the big Traynor YBA something tube head into a Fender 4x12 Bassman cab. We recorded to a Teac 3340 4 track.
I don’t think the originals would sound the same thru the rigs I have now, nor would they sound the same recorded thru the gear I have now. That said, the T3 sounds dead-on. Granted the ears are a couple of decades older, and my T1’s are long-gone, but I’ve spent some real quality time with the T3’s since they arrived and I don’t believe there is any appreciable sonic difference between the two.
Guys, in the end Moog delivered as promised- nailed it IMO, and if you liked the T1’s you are gonna love the T3’s.
