On the Mr Hyde side A poly sound so fat to point of being unusable as it just takes up so much space unless that is what you want. It is very hard to make this keyboard blend with anything else in a mix. Sonically the sound can be too dense. The architecture does not lend itself well to being polyphonosized Although to be fair the concept behind the instrument should have made it sure-fire hit .Poor timing on it release, and not really bench tested also let it down.

I have had the pleasure of owning 2 of these instruments The first one was a plus with a Kenton MIDI kit. The tuning stability did not really last more than six months. Then occasionally said six tuned but this was no guarantee. It seems that because the plus modification was added this just meant more to go wrong with the Memorymoog. I eventually sold it after nearly a year in service. I got and Oberhiem Xpander in the deal . I later got a second moog an ordinary one, fitted with a Kenton, which I still have there have been the odd tuning glitch but it does return to say 6 tuned but only after a long time to burn in But will need a retune eventually. In conclusion this keyboard is not as bad as some people make it out to be. But this may depend purely on luck Sonically I like the instrument good sweeping string and swirling pad sounds and loads of sfx pseudo ring mod using the voice mod section. The third osc in low frequency mode creates out of phase waveforms, there are 6 of them, adding to the fatness!! I have learned to use the moog to make the sound more controllable by tuning down the oscillators and the use of compression / eq to create some very useable, mix friendly, unique textures. This most certainly a studio instrument unless you have an LAMM . But if looked after and regularly serviced should be an excellent studio workhorse But be prepared to pay for it!
