not applicable

Comparison with other models
I had the opportunity (in fact I also possde) compared with clones of modules Moog Club of the Knobs (COTK) and
both brands are fairly close to each other in functionality and price. Mos-Lab has a ct a little craft that COTK.

Report qualitprix: Excellent
Whereas when the current price of an original Moog Modular, the note of the MOS-LAB is four to five times less dirty while providing the same possibility to even if the sound character teristic Moog.

With exprience, I would do this choice? Yes certainly

For, 16 System A:

1 * 992 - Controller of oscillation
1 * 921-A - oscillator driver
3 * 921-B - oscillators
1 * 995 - Attenuators
2 * 911 - ADSR
1 * 904-A - Low Pass VCF ... the famous Moog filter
1 * 923 - gnrateur noise
1 * 928 - SAMPE & Hold
2 * 902 - VCA

For the rest, see the opinion of Yusynth.

UTILIZATION

It's a modular ... must therefore do everything!

No manual ... even when it requires to be somewhat familiar to edit the sounds ...

Otherwise Sbastien home MOS-LAB our answer your questions.

SOUNDS

100% sound and grain Moog. It indniable!

OVERALL OPINION

The report price is trs good quality compared to old Bouzin that cost you a fortune maintain!

I could compare with a minimoog model D & travel ... if I had some hands analos: Oberheim Xpander, OB8, Andromeda, Juno 106, Pulse, ...

If you want a moog old, a MOS-LAB prfrer a travel. Especially since you can then aim your system by adding new modules.

Let's say that's what I've heard better on the leads and bass lines!

I would do this choice!

Electronically faithful clone of the legendary Moog Modular, the Schulze, Tangerine, Moroder (no, no, not jar, eh!) ... The system 16A is perfectly homogeneous and is already going far enough in sound research. More details on the site moslab, so I do not paraphrase ...

UTILIZATION

Initially, a modular s hard ... then once you start to dip, it is a true cam that discourages anyone from returning to a modular virtual. To understand sound synthesis is the most educational tool that is because it is the user who creates the chaining of the modules.

SOUNDS

The mos-lab differs from other modular because it offers its "old school" undeniable. In fact it's the sound I always dreamed of having the sequences of Chris Franke ("Ricochet," "Thief", "Tangram "...). Warning, this is not really the sound of the Minimoog, although there are of course a family resemblance, but that of the moog 55 or P3, which is deeper (it's rather difficult to describe with words). Needless to say, to make elektronika the former is an absolute must that brooks no rival (EMS and the ARP2600 nétant not cloned, thus almost impossible to find nowadays)

OVERALL OPINION

Summarize the offer for those who want the sound "moog modular"
- Either you win the lottery and you offer a moog forties revised thoroughly.
- Either you're broke (which was my case ...) and you just Arturia Moog (which is far from being ridiculous in fact it seems to me that the product had the endorsement of Bob .. . but it's still good the virtual)
- Either you buy a Dotcom or moslab.
I opted for moslab for the following reasons: it is a French artisan who makes it by following as closely as possible the original drawings of Bob, the price is more than correct and of course the sound is gigantissime. So rather than buying a travel which is very far from unanimous, encourage the initiative of this talented French ...
