It sounds fantastic!! Loads of low end, very creamy sound and for such a small synth there are a lot of cool features!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only one oscillator but there is a divider so you can get an extra square wave either one or 2 octaves lower. And it&#8217;s not just an on off switch, it&#8217;s a pot so you can mix in as much as you want. <\/p>\n<p>There are a bunch of simple but very useful modulation options and you can even modulate the filter to get a nice grungy sound, or when it&#8217;s feeding back you get some nice ring modulator type sounds.<\/p>\n<p>You can also set the octave switch to a free state and use the frequency knob to sweep through a VERY wide range, from pretty close to zero to above what you (or at least I) can hear. <\/p>\n<p>And even with the minimal 2 knobs for the envelopes you can still get a wide range of settings with the switches. So far I&#8217;ve been able to make it do everything I want so it&#8217;s not nearly as limited as I expected.<\/p>\n<p>But most importantly, it has that Moog sound. I&#8217;ve heard it has the Minimoog filter in it. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s true but it really does sound fantastic. Mine has a bit of crackle so I&#8217;ll have to open it up and track that down at some point but for now it&#8217;s just part of the instrument&#8217;s character. <\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/scotteh\/25271002978\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Moog Micromoog - The Inside\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4646\/25271002978_19996037d8_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"Moog Micromoog - The Inside\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sooooo&#8230;. what&#8217;s next?
