Great little monophonic synth, super easy to use.

I recommend anyone who wants the Moog sound, but do not have the budget for a mini or travel, and those who want killer bass! (The moog for bass players ...)
Keyboard two and a half octaves (32 keys), using two wheels CONTRL management LFO, standard connector in the late seventies, but no MIDI (I personally do not need it, so for me is not a default).
on the other hand, mine is the second generation, and possde all possible exits in CV / Gate, unlike the Prodigy, who had a first audio output.

UTILIZATION

Configuring on-no-longer simple (2oscillos, an LFO, the wonderful and sublime 24dB Moog filter, one standard and one ADS ADS for fitr): basically it is THE single two oscilloscope!

It takes a few minutes to understand the principle, and it puts DCEN exploit ...
That's what Sidre me the most with this little monster: each session is different, and I still find new sounds and combinations of indict Annes APRS have purchased ...

Personally, I plug in my bass amp three body lights, and the grain is simply monstrous ... but we have neighbors comprhensifs or no neighbors at all!

SOUNDS

The prodigy sounds really good regardless of the trs rglages, and excels in the low-to-kills.

It is also super rput in this area, there that see the list of famous users, particularly in the Dub, Big-Beat (they are not beautiful low Fat-boy? ) or electro (Depeche Mode still use it, they play even on Prodigy in two of their last clip).
And The Prodigy, o come them?

Sync mode, which as its name suggests is both in sync oscilloscope, allows leads to beautiful and if you push the emphasis of the filter to the max you have to know the CONTRL bte ...

It is also for those who ® religion a simple and effective for concerts, because despite the lack of memory, change in three of his manipulations!
It is this same lack of memory that allows it to be an instrument as cratif to me.

To reach its potential, I use it with some pedals, including a ring modulator and an Electro Harmonix Memory Man, does it well ..

Of course, the default of an analog vintage is always the same: no mmorisation sounds (if you forget your rglages, you have the bone ...), an accuracy sometimes random image, a fragility in transport ... in short, is an old machine, with its qualities and default ... but its robustness can be counted on in all circumstances, contrary other analos the era I like to use in the studio but I never n'emmnerai scne on ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 years, and it's an endearing little machine.

I think it should rev out all those who want to get your foot in the world of vintage analog synths without "digging" the thing like crazy (as in this case, is not enough .. .)

The standard benefit of the Prodigy, me, RSID in its simplicity of use.
Indeed, After a few hours of use, we realize that everything is hand door, and that most of Moog sounds of references are available in a round knob, which allows to concentrate on his game and quickly lose themselves in improbable research ..
The complex synths that make you sound amazing find and indict but ask you for hours and hours of research have their place in the studio, synths and simple and goes inside to have a place scne .
It confirms the principle simplicitefficacit
