Best comment I could ever receive. Thank you!

That’s quite the write-up! I haven’t experienced any of the issues you’re describing. Maybe you got a lemon? This is definitely the most complicated synth they’ve moved production out of the USA on, so some quality loss is inevitable. I think it sounds awesome, but I also thought the Dave Smith stuff I’ve owned was kind of boring. Sounds like we just have different tastes, which is fine! I’m glad you were able to return it.

@@mattlowerymusic Please, .. > "the most complicated synth"< ?? Haha.. You never had tried the Novation Summit, I guess.. On that piece .. anything works fine from the very beginning, and updates had made that beast always better.. No, I guess the Moog-mystery should be ended .. finally .. Too expensive and nothing special, but a sick instrument.. also after updates.. Dave Smith instruments I hadn't tried the latest ones, but just the old good ones, and this is where the benchmark should be set. Without any comparison, anything could be "a star" 🤭

@@naturesound2963 I’m not sure what you mean about the summit…my point is that Moog’s recent acquisition by InMusic resulted in production being moved from the US to somewhere else. But I think you just didn’t get along with this instrument, which is fine. Let it go and go have fun playing something else!

​@@mattlowerymusic Hi, I meant the "Summit" from Novation, an example of how other companies have done a better job and cost $1000 less. But thanks, that's nice of you.. Well, I had a lot of trouble with the Moog Muse. I think many other professionals will have similar complaints sooner or later. There are just too many problems with the Muse and its capabilities are vastly overrated. If real problems (like too slow speed in all kinds of operations, total hanging etc. or the terrible detuning that Moog products were "famous" for) are attributed to aspects of "being vintage", then something is definitely wrong.. The list of defects is simply too long for a modern instrument of our time. If you are interested, I can send you the list of defects. And other owners here at youtube start reporting about the same problems.. It's sad, but this is the major problem of products from Moog of nowadays...

You are overdoing it. I've known Moog and synths in general since the 90s and have always owned analog and digital synths. You can't compare a German shepherd with a canary. In other words: the Minimoog is not comparable to a polyphonic synth and it was never comparable to a poly from Moog. And yet: the MuSE comes very close to the Mini - thanks to Overload and its 3 OSC architecture. Incidentally, there is also a nice comparison video on which you can hear almost no difference between a Mini and the MuSE. The MuSE can sound incredibly thick and fat. Almost like the Matriarch, which pushes everything away. Now imagine if the Poly only had this power. You wouldn't be able to play any chords at all, as it would sound so bad; and it would hardly be mixable. The envelopes are great and very fast. Percussive sounds, kicks and snappy basses are no problem at all. It's thin? You can't be serious. Some patches have to be thinned out to be able to play them polyphonically, that's how thick it can be. And I don't know of any other synthesizer that can also be as soft as the MuSE. Yes, the Muse takes a while to boot up. What's the problem? It takes a few minutes until my studio is completely ready to go anyway. And for live setups you'll sure will switch it on a few minutes before the action starts. I've had the MuSE for a week now and have used it for up to 8 hours on some days, testing it intensively. I haven't had to retune it, but so far I've only used it solo; it will only be integrated into the studio this week. I love the Muse, it fits so well to my other synths and I knew that before. I bought it for that reason, beside its swesome sound. Sooner or later, this synthesizer will be considered a modern classic. It's something very special, capable of sounding super-hard, weird, glassy, metallic, snappy massive and buttery smooth on top. This is Moog as I know it. It can do 70th sound design and sound modern alike. It also has many interesting sound tricks up its sleeve, hard to find on other analog synths, like wave morphing. Reading your text, I'm wondering whether you actually programmed the synth yourself or just played the presets briefly? I also think that you approached the MuSE with completely wrong assumptions and that it didn't really have a chance to convince you of its quality. I researched some weeks before buying and I was even more impressed about its capabilities and sound variety by patching it myself.

Thank you for watching!

I don’t, sorry!

@mattlowerymusic soma got back to me. Anything that doesn't scratch the surface is safe to use.

That is correct

Because?

​@@P-S-T The life ! ...Of course you can find now for exemple some convolution reverbs of high quality, it's OK for me and it's makes smiling the engineers but we are musicians and there's nothing better for us than the haptic experience...for the questions of VA synths, i've had some ones at home and i feel that we can be lured at the first sight by the approach of reality but it's not the same thing, sometimes it can makes many months before the brain recognize the difference, even with the integration of "dust" and drifts algorithms and the day your brain ceased to be lured it's finished, the magic stops to operate...i precise that i put FM synths on a different category, they are "naturally" made to be numericals ! ^^

@@mattlowerymusicsorry, I meant the gold one with the circular touch pads.🙂

@@davidmackenzie5101 oh sorry- that's the Landscape Stereo Field

I would ask Adam at boredbrain; I don't want to accidentally steer you wrong, and he's very responsive!

Thank you! Cheers!
