As an Asheville, NC resident, it warms my heart to hear you say "Ashewille, North Carolina" Every time I drive into town, I pass by the Moog building. The Moog logo is still on the side, but it's dark and empty now and there's a large "for sale" notice on it. Moog has gone the way of AKG and it makes me sad.

[@AudioPilz]

Sad to hear that! AKG has a worthy successor in Austrian Audio tho, they are what AKG should be today

[@JakeTheCake254]

My Aunts live in Asheville and I visited the Moog factory a few years ago last time I saw them. It is a real shame because everyone there seemed so cool and enjoyed their work, and the head engineer even drew me a schematic to keep when I asked a technical question during the tour. I am surprised that the building is ok with the hurricane that recently hit, the Keith Emerson synth was in there… hopefully they managed to evacuate all the legendary historic equipment in there…

[@jcchaconjr]

Different industry, but I felt the same after Dell purchased Alienware. They ran a minimal operation at Alienware HQ for about 3 years, but then the building sat empty for almost 10 with the Alienware logo still on the front. As of about 2-3 years ago, it's a Senior Health Care center.

[@roggyo]

Your reviews are usually so spot on that within just five minutes of watching, I can tell whether I like a synth or not. And when you start jamming on it, that’s usually the moment that seals the deal for me. Your ability to make great music, even with the simplest gear (even literal toys) is what makes your reviews so valuable. However, with this synth, even your skills couldn’t bring out its potential, which says a lot about the synth itself. It’s why I’d love to see you review more flagship synths that cost thousands of dollars!

[@markus6409]

if you make your deals depending on this channel you should let synthesizers go as hobby. how stupid. are your serious that you choosig your synth on his opinion. shouldn't you make the decision on your skillset when you make patches and play it?

[@roggyo]

@ I appreciate your perspective, but let me clarify. I don’t make decisions based solely on one channel. When choosing gear, I do my own research, reading music magazines, watching various KZbin channels, and testing instruments whenever possible. However, for two synthesizers I own, Bad Gear played a crucial role in tipping the scale for me. The show’s format is concise and honest: it highlights the good, the bad, and ends with a jam that demonstrates the synth’s musical potential. You can’t deny his skill when it comes to synths, and his jams are often enjoyable and inspiring. In fact, I’ve even picked up some useful tips from him. For example, when I hit an arrangement block, I’ve started throwing in a little acid with the TB-3 to keep things moving, whether it’s rock, pop, or any other genre. Honestly, it works so well I’m starting to think acid might be the universal genre fixer! 😂

[@3rdStoreyChemist]

@@roggyo Having owned a lot of synths, how well you get on with a synth isn't something any reviewer can tell you, even the music they make with it isn't going to tell you much. UI is a very personal thing, as well as the layout and you really need to live with a piece of equipment to know whether or not its actually for you, you can't be told, other things such as your ow experience & history with music equipment as well as tastes play a role. For example Florian describes himself as not a "player", so a physically large synth with a large keyboard just might not click with him, whereas I grew up playing piano and the first synth I really learnt with & played was an 8-voice bi-timbral polysynth, so I just feel at home with one. But I've never found myself enjoying Moog UI's, but they just sound glorious and this might be more of the same.

[@VestedUTuber]

@@anthonybrett I mean, they're not wrong about the sound, Moogs just tend to have an extremely powerful presence with their iconic warm sound simply as a consequence of the oscillator and filter design, but is it really worth paying that much for a synth you spend more time calibrating, tuning, and troubleshooting MIDI issues than you do playing? I consider myself a Moog fan but I'm not touching the Muse, because I want to actually _play_ my synths.

Thank you for doing this hard work. I read an enchanting blurb about this thing awhile back, but now I think I have a better appreciation for what it can and can't do.

I have no need for this instrument, I would not use even a fraction of what it can do, but, hey... knobs and sliders! At the bottom line, I feel ambivalence for it, along with my immense gratitude to you for this week's content. Thanks again!

[@lurkinguy]

That one synth costs as much as my entire wishlist, which is insane in all the bad ways.

[@MagicMusicAdam]

I've had Muse since it came out. I haven't had any of the tuning issues mentioned, not needed to run the long calibration, and only used the quick tune twice. It's been very stable. I'm a player first and foremost (originally classical piano) so I don't spend ages twiddling with controls, consequently I haven't found any issues with limitations in that regards, I just spend a few minutes dialing in the sound I want. Ah - the sound - that's why I bought this thing. In my studio of 30+ analogue and digital synths, the only thing that gives it a run for its money is the Voyager! BUt as you said, I'm probably more in the target demographic for this synth. I'm very happy with it! Incidentally, to address another point, I found I could blend it in very well in a mix, it's just a matter of dialing in a sound that suits its place in the arrangement. I've got a couple of videos on my channel where it mixes in with a large number of other synths and it fits in very nicely (Check out my 'Together In Electric Dreams' and 'Sing' covers if you'd like to hear it sitting in a large arrangement of 10+ synths!)

[@MatthewChristianMurray]

There are Bad Gear comments all over Polyend Synth demo videos. I’m an owner of that oddball instrument and still wrapping my head around the thing. It’s physically gorgeous and hypnotic. Some of the new features are hard to understand, while others are mind-blowingly intuitive. It has eight sound engines and is tritimbral, but the only sounds it seems to excel at are Moog-ish basses, weird glitchy sounds, and granular stuff; also, you get just eight voices combined for the three engines, and the feeble CPU is easily overloaded. I’m planning to use a bass sound from it in my recording project(s), but have been unable to quite figure out what else, if anything, I’ll use. There are three virtual analogue engines but it never seems to SOUND analog except in simple bass patches. Yet, it’s addictive, fun, and easy to design your own setups once you understand how it works. It has 60 pads with velocity and poly aftertouch. And it is stunningly beautiful when they’re all lit up; it almost looks like a little stained-glass window. Anyway, yeah - please do a Polyend Synth review soon. I can already tell that it will be a divisive instrument, and some people will absolutely despise it, while others will call it revolutionary. It’s true Bad Gear material, sir.

8 mono Grand Mothers are more expensive 😂

To a point, and some more than others … but ultimately, No.

@@KooriGraywolf the cool thing about digital synths is that they don’t sounds analog. That being said… a hybrid is the most interesting to me…

[@bromaier]

more than happy w my hydrasynth and drifty-but-also-fun-af prologue for 60% muse’s price, twice the total voices, and in the prologue’s case, .001% the retuning time lol

[@Auldhelm]

I will wait for the plug in version - it will be fine

[@Pablo668]

Great work as always. I gotta be honest. I want one. I can’t see myself ever having the money for one though. That and I have a Polybrute and a Pro 3 and no room left. I’m kinda good for gear right now.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Likewise. I got a Sub 37 and a Korg Prologue that covers what I need. I'm good with that for modern synths.All my other synths are pre MIDI. The Muse does look beautiful but I don't think it would blend well with my other synths. Polybrute and Pro 3 sounds like an amazing combination

[@gladtobeangry]

Well, I've bought it, so I'll find out if I like working with it in about 2 months time when it is due to arrive. Would be a shame if it sucks as it sounds exactly the way I want a poly to sound, but if so, I can always trade it in and buy all the behringer clones in one go.

B-b-b-but we killed Moog! 😂

And, not said here, it sounds like a huge accordion !

[@htechdance]

Does the term overkill come to mind?

[@AudioPilz]

Absolutely!

[@minimal3734]

I'm associating 'overweight' with the sound.

As someone from Asheville North Carolina this thing just makes me sad

Moog clones moog.

That was Bad Bad Bad Gear ! ... You're a testimony that YOU can make great music even with very expensive bad gear !

[@darwiniandude]

Nice tracks! Nice sounds! Nice Roasting! Nice! :) - Polybrute 12 next, please ;)

[@thefrankly]

@@darwiniandude I would love to hear him jam on it. I thought the PB12 was gonna stink, but it's surpassed all my expectations.

[@kierenmoore3236]

@@thefrankly. Grainy, lo-fi sounding synth.

[@NOLNV1]

That 'no fun at all' was really nice for what it's worth

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!

[@respectfulremastersbymetal8336]

Man, that synth is a thing of beauty.

[@Gerald_Daniel]

“A look like moog had cloned behringer’s DS80.” Totally!!! Not only that any so far (by me) listened audio demo had absolutely not made to blow me away, that expensive new-school dino obviously comes with unexpected, unforgivable quirks. This time I highly recommend the on all levels remarkably great & intense sounding Erica Synths Steampipe.
