The Moog Messenger has the extra quirks that was missing in the 37, and i dont care if the Messenger looks a bit cheap and like a AFX Station...
...But what really grinds my gear is the feature that was introduced over 10 years ago is paraphony. If there wont be any paraphony firmware updates in this synth then i wont touch it. Honestly it makes me disappointed and angry even. And theres no VST editor? What?
The genius Loopop wrote a script with AI to turn off local contral and at the same time take in 2-note MIDI and made the one dimensional messenger display two dimensions! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTnlBL5SQ9o&t=1620s
Moog you should also listen to his "pros & cons" as there are a few nuggets there that are easily fixed with code. For the arpeggiator i think it would be cool if there was one mode that quantized to scales, which could easily be made to select with the seq buttons.
All in all, i think the synth is great, i love that its a poor mans Subsequent 25/37 and has the whole phatty lineage and id buy this without blinking but without the paraphony and the VST editor, which is n essential part of my production style with the S37, then i wont, i just wont. Ill just look at the synth and get mad!
But thats just me, how do you guys and gals and unicorns feel about it??
Peace!
