I've listened to the official demo's on Soundcloud today... and even if I know from my own experience, that you should never judge a synth on factory sounds, then those demos does NO JUSTICE to this synth, if it's really 8k worth... really... and I mean that... I heard nothing in those demos that I felt sounded "better" for what I use my REV2 for to be honest, even the FX did not impress me which is kind of strange considering it's Eventide FX.
Sorry to say, but I stand by my previous concern, that this synth is NOT worth 8k... at least in my opinion... I'd definitely have to hear better demos of it to change that opinion... i will agree that it may have an advantage in the sound character, but this is only if you really are after the "MOOG Sound", which in my opinion does NOT tell anything about being "the best sound"... just DIFFERENT sound.
Don't get me wrong, I like MOOG products, I've had quite a few of the lower range devices myself over the years, but 8k!? ... divide this amount by 3 and we might be at a more logical price in my opinion. With the Prophet X and Quantum out in this price range (the divided by 3 that is), the MOOG One will surely be a hard sell to many who just want a 8-16 voice hybrid/analog synth with good engine depth... I mean... who would want to get a ONE, if they can get both Prophet X, Quantum and a third synth in that price range for the same price as one ONE?
