  2. The Mini has no presets or virtual mod patches!

  3. Moog sounded fat, Korg sounded thin. Actually, the Moog was down right obese in comparison.

  8. @stephen jones,

    It's not a piss take mate. I was just playing the MK one day and realised how good it really sounds. For it's price and format, it's a great unit. Having said that, the Moog sounds sublime in the flesh. Just brings a smile to your face. :-)

  9. looks like your mini's triangle wave symmetry is off a bit.

  10. i shouldn't have watched this. i never expected the micro to stand up to a critical comparison but that was just slaughter.

    i gave up trying to use dsp synths with analog back when the prophecy came out. they just don't get along.

  11. In case you missed it, I have made another video that includes images of the waveforms as they are playing.

    The material is the same as this video.

    Here is the new video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fjY9G17KzIw

  12. You have to consider the dramatic price difference
