In Cool Tools, Jeff Bragg reviews Arturia Moog Modular V2 Software Synthesizer, a $190 application that emulates the Moog Modular.
Then a company called Arturia released a virtual software version of my childhood Holy Grail, the Moog Modular V. And there were nine–count ’em, nine!–oscillators. Filters, envelope generators. A fixed filter bank. A sample and hold module. A bank of configurable mixers. And with enough computer firepower, I could finally make the sounds I’d heard Wendy Carlos make. The software even has stereo chorus and delay lines, a very neat addition to the package to fatten up your sound without having to use any outboard effects. And did I mention polyphony? Yes, unlike its hardware predecessor, the Moog Modular V offers up to 32 voices, if you have the processor power to deliver them.
