buy it and i will be a bigger fan of u!
Bit of a late reply perhaps...
I bought my Moog LP Stage 2 (the one with plastic cheeks and usb) about a year ago in the US when the US dollar was at an all-time low. It can sound silky-smooth or grindingly harsh and it manages to sound analogue without feeling "sloppy" like some of these new analogues (like the similarly priced Analogue Solutions Leipzig). It pretty much met my expectations.
The "Signature Edition" with the wood sides is the first model and it's also the one that's the least useful. It is poor value for money unless you're dying to have the wood sides and Bob Moog's signature on the back.
There are two things that i dislike about the Moog LP:
1: The weight
This thing weighs a ton (well... 10 kg). I got a soft gig bag for it but I am still displeased every time i have to carry it to practice with the band.
2: No "glide on legato"
That is, to only do a glide when two notes are triggered in succession with no pause between them. Most modern synths have had this feature since the eighties. This is central to how i play a monophonic synth and it is a real source of frustration for me. It might be argued that the absence of this feature is part of the "Moog sound" but i remain unconvinced.
