Minimoog vs. Minimoog

Model D vs. Voyager sound test on the Vintage Synth Explorer forums. Title link takes yout to post. I'd recommend right click and saving the track, Windows Media Player is currently stuck downloading the track while I type this. Ok, just listened to them. The Voyager sounds way more bright in these samples. Makes me wonder what it would sound like with the filter down just a notch. They both sound like Mini's to me. Bob always claimed the Voyager to be a Minimoog. It's also hard to tell what time does to the sound of an analog synth. I've frequently heard that no two Minis sound the same. There are subtle differences in sound between them. I like to think that a Voyager sounds like a Model D just out of the factory. And of course the Voyager adds a bit more in it's featureset.

"In 1983 Serge Modular Music Systems produced a demo cassette featuring many talented musicians playing the Serge Synthesizer. Recently a few Serge fans got together and thought, wouldn't it be cool if we did another Serge compilation and released it on CD! This is the result. Ten people from Europe, Asia, and America contributed to this fun-packed CD."
