Strengths

  • Paraphonic 4-note capability lets you play real chords, unlike the rest of the modern Moog semi-modular line
  • Built-in stereo analog delay and dual filters give genuinely spacious, wide sound design options
  • The most extensive patch bay in Moog's modern semi-modular family, closest to true modular flexibility

Trade-offs

  • Paraphonic design shares a single filter/envelope architecture across notes, so it isn't true independent polyphony
  • Large and heavy compared to the smaller Mother-32/DFAM/Grandmother, less desk-friendly
