Impressive…
We’re covered up in Minimoogs, but as a hardware and software owner, I’ll take a small leap and say that if you’re looking for your first or core Moog, this one rocks well. Obsession is one of the best Oberheim emulations around as well.
There are some quality freebies to be had, but in my experience, leaning on a more refined, supported version is wise. It saves time & computer resources. The Legend now offers up to 12 voices, so in part, there’s a Memorymoog for you. Synapse plugs deliver the goods. They also offer a lively FM synth called Hydra.
Make sure you update Legend or it won’t work properly (there is a new release so it works with Osmose)
an affiliation with hans zimmer is a strike against any given product, as far as i’m concerned lmao. expressive e always impresses though!
