Feature:
So many its better to read the bumf than me in this case. All I will say is that you will need several weeks to get a real feel for what this can do.
Quality:
Its well programmed mostly but there are faults and bugs which at this price should at the least get a fix from arturia assuming they can be bothered to work through the code.
Value:
Its not great value really, the mini is much better value and does most of what you would want from this.
Desirability:
It looks cool in a funny over the top way.
Sound:
given that this is not a cheap soft synth, it is annoying that it has a number of bugs. I haven't completely crashed the machine using it but i have had a few annoyancenes useing this system in host programs. the standalone is pretty reliable but there is a list as long as your arm of needed fix's most are annoying, like oscillators losing two inputs under some circumstances and misleading settings which are x10 out. Otherwise it is a pretty faithful reproduction of what is an old and truly expensive modular synthesizer. The sounds are very reasonable and do have that Moog feel to them. This synth is best used as a sequencer and the impossibility of patching on the fly mean it is more suited to the role of background sequencer than lead instrument. I find that the arturia mini-moog is more useful than this vst but it excels at fat 70's sounds.
Ease of Use:
Its pretty difficult to set up a new patch but this improves with time the patching cords look good to start with but after a while they get annoying. Its far from straightforward to use and it also possible to produce some really nasty noises which will destroy your speakers if you have it to loud.
Support:
Customer service is very slow and frankly disappointing.
Overall:
I would not buy it again and I don't use it as much as I should for such expensive kit. The minimoog is far better value and offers almost the same sound and comes with a usable arpeggiator.

Feature:
You recieve a manual which explains the functions of the modules fairly well.It would be best for you to read up on analog synths first!
Quality:
The program looks beutiful on your computor screen.You can upgrade to the newer version at Arturia's website for FREE!
Value:
You would have to shell-out Tens of thousands of dollars to get a real Modular Moog.At that,you would be getting a used instrument with all the problems and delicateness of that period analog synth.The MoogV is well worth the money!
Desirability:
This synth looks beutiful on your C.R.T..It looks very much like the real-deal.I think Arturia did a great job in making this product accurate in sound as well as looks!
Sound:
I find this product to sound very close to the real thing with lots of extra abilities that were not on the original modular moogs!
Support:
I had a little trouble getting through to the company,but I changed my E-mail address at the time.
Overall:
It will take me a long time before I will ever need another Virtual
synth.I can make this one sound a lot like other makes and modals!
