Its made in Taiwan and therefore its not the moog company of old. Once we get past that and we can rejoice in the fact that the moog brand still exists. To my mind, I think the product could be better. It feels like the release has been rushed by the new owners. Hopefully firmware releases will improve a few niggly things. It is one of the brightest, most responsive synths I own and I like that. I dont hsve s problem with the build quality unlike dome people. To my mind its better than the all plastic case of the matriarch which has never sat flat on my desktop and its certainly no worse than arturia, or sequential synths I own. Some of the factory installed presets are a bit naff. Major gripe for me in the lack of memory. 256 slots is pathetic.
