Memorymoog vs Arturia Memory V: How Close Is the Emulation? – Luke Million at Synth Temple

video upload by Noisegate, SynthTemple, Luke Million, Arturia

"The Moog Memorymoog is one of the rarest polysynths ever made — finding a working original today is next to impossible. So what happens when you sit Arturia's brand-new Memory V emulation right next to the real thing?

Producer and synth enthusiast Luke Million visits Synth Temple in Melbourne, home to one of the world's most expansive synth collections, to put the two side by side. The original 1982 Memorymoog packed six voices of polyphony, three oscillators per voice and the classic 24 dB ladder filter — but it was notoriously unreliable and eye-wateringly expensive, both then and now.
