There are many like it but this one is mine! I must master it as I must master my life! My Moog and myself are the masters of our enemy! We are the saviours of industrial!
It sounds over the top but this is honestly the feeling one gets when one purchases a Moog analogue synth. It’s a feeling of loyalty, like you just bought a real musical instrument, that you will want to keep for the rest of your life. This beast contains only 2 oscillators and 1 low-pass filter, but it has so much soul, that you would never accuse it of being light on features.
Check out this demo. It’s a modified excerpt from a Crystalline Effect song about to be released. It was created by the moog, with FX provided by the Kaoss Pad 3.
That bassline is so phat, that I could just listen to it oscillating all day. In fact I’ve been using the LP for almost all of my basslines. You’d be missing the point if you expected the LP to create supersaw-type leads and complex FX, but what the LP does is provide foundations you can trust.
The tuning is a bit of an issue, with the autotune feature being best described as iffy.
I got the Stage Edition. Moog recently came out with a “version 2″ of the LP, that contains among other things a USB slot. I’m not too disappointed about this new version though, as to me it says that Moog thinks the LP is so strong that they would release a new version rather than forget about it and move on. There has already been an OS update, offering an Arpeggiator and MIDI Clock Sync, among other things, and the synth can be combined nicely with the Moog range of Moogerfooger FX, so that there is plenty of expandability and upgradability.
The main thing with this synth is to know what you’re getting yourself into. Unless you’re absolutely certain, it’s probably not the best first synth. But when you’re ready for a real Moog, you won’t regret it.
If I may continue with the Full Metal Jacket references; may your days of point-n-clicking Arturia-Jane-Rottencrotch through it’s purty GUI be over! Grab a Moog LP and be faithful to your tool of iron and rubber.
