Back to Product Information
Sound: Exquisite sound quality without losing that renowned fat sound from the original Model D. Outputs very good quality; it's kind of like taking an original 1971 Minimoog, giving it the oscillators of the ARP 2600 and fine-tuning them, taking the filter from the Original Mini, and giving it the sound quality and outputs of the Korg OASYS. If none of that made sense, in long story short it sounds great. Feature: Great Analog control, like time-traveling back to the Semi-Modular era where the operator was in control of everything. Since it is true to its heritage, it has all of the control of the original Minimoog and more, and some of today's best features like the touchpad. Ease of Use: To operate this instrument you have to understand synthesis. As I stated, it has all analog control, which could make it a challenge for musicians who are new to [Analog] synthesis to operate the instruments. Definitely not a synthesizer to start out on; if you want something simpler check out some of the older Moogs like the Micromoog or the Prodigy. Quality: Built like a tank. It has the design of the original Minimoog, without the troubles of easy damage and unstable oscillators (leads to tuning problems) from the original. Definitely solid, but I wouldn't recommend testing how durable it is... Value: A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Here in Canada it is something like $6,000 CA, in the states it is cheaper. Funny, because that was the price of a Minimoog in the 70s (it's said that at that point it cost as much as Volkswagen Beetle. That still applies today!). Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with it The Wow Factor: Looks just like the original, only with a few more controls, a display and a backlight. Since I own the Preformer's Edition, it comes in the same wooden panel that the Original did. It looks great in my rig, sitting right beside an Arp Blue Meanie and a few Moogerfoogers. Overall: This machine might as well be a time machine. For people looking for that original fat sound, those neat filters and a lot of symbolic value, here it is. The Voyager.

Sound: Pure analog. Feature: one voice, no effects...but it really doesn't need it. Ease of Use: Simple signal flow, pick your oscillator(s), shape it, filter it..you can't get any easier than a Moog! Quality: Built like an Tank, or an H1! Value: This is analog. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: You want it! Overall: This is analog, and it's a Moog.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
