stompboxjon « Real Moog? »
Published on 10/02/12 at 00:00IK Multimedia SampleMoog only cost 99 dollars and can be downloaded right after your purchase. It is very easy to install and set up, it will only take a few minutes and you will be able to load it up in your computer and start using it right away. There are some really good sounds on the SampleMoog, with a collection of sounds from the Moogs over the years. There are over 2000 sounds from all of the most rare and best Moogs in history, they are all accurate sounds to they real thing. Now there is nothing like a real Moog and if you are looking for a real Moog sound and feel then you will need to go out and buy a real one. But the SampleMoog by IK Multimedia will get you pretty close to it.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The layout of the IK Multimedia SampleMoog could be a little better or maybe if they offered some more skins for it. The color of the text and the text box where you pick your patches clashes pretty bad to me and it was not easy on my eyes. I wish there was a way to change it, I love how everything else looks and with the wood grain look it adds a lot of character to the VST. All of the parameters are easily changed and edited on the main screen of the IK Multimedia SampleMoog.
OVERALL OPINION
For the price, you have nothing to lose. You will get some classic replications of the original Moogs and be able to change them and add effects to them in real time. If you want to add some flavor to your sounds then purchasing this is a good idea or if you just are a classic Moog lover and want it all in the software format then you will need to make this investment. But if you are looking for a real Moog, get a real Moog.
