Vintage Moog Source. One knob to rule them all - fine by me. The digital display reads from 0-99 for the incremental control but there's definitely no zippering to be heard here. Just pure analog awesome sound. The tone is very different from the new analogs in my opinion, and also sounds a bit brighter and more aggressive than the Moog Prodigy. When I say "different", I don't mean "better" or "worse". It's just so different there's no point comparing. The sound of the Source, in my opinion, leans slightly towards the Studio Electronics stuff.
Yes it can save presets. I love that the LFO can take modulations somewhat into audio rate. Also, I really love the envelopes - enough click to punch the daylights out of anyone. I dare say the envelopes on this Source rival the click of the Jupiter 4 I used to own. Also, the arpeggiator / sequencer is very charming! You can play in the notes you want and it will remember. (I'm just starting to figure that part out.) Anyway, have a listen to all 5 of the demos because I only put reverb on the later ones. Reminder: Download the clip if you like the demo, because the streaming mp3 player can't handle the oomph of the Source and makes it sound grainy.



very nice! the source seems to have all the harmonics (overtones) that I found the little phatty lacking...
