I had a trip to Turnkey in London a few weeks ago and had a go on a Moog Voyager. I thought it sounded really BIG. Brilliant vintage sound and I'd definitely have one if I had money to burn. I don't think it would integrate into dance music as well as my Virus C and for this reason, it's not at the top of my shopping list. If vintage synths are your thing, I'd definitely recommend it.

BTW, had a go on an Alesis Ion and that's not as good as the Virus, sounds weaker and more artificial.

There was one there but it wasn't rigged up for use and it was really busy. The Andromeda looks fantastic though and it's a lot bigger in the flesh. It's like a console on the Starship Enterprise or something. If I had money for a Moog Voyager, I'd get an Andromeda instead I think.

Had a go on an Indigo 2 and the limited edition Redback and no suprises, they're just the same as my Virus C rack.

Went on the Hartman Neuron aswwell which is bizarre to use and with no manual I know I didn't get the best out of it. interesting noises though but when I actually had a go on it, it struck me how ridiculously expensive it is. It needs about ?1000 knocking off the price. Who has bought anyway? How does Mr Hartman make any money?

It was great to finally use many different synths and compare them with the Virus as this was my first synth and I hadn't tried anything else before. Honestly, people with a Virus have made a wise choice indeed as it beats a lot of the competition out there.
