I've had a Mini-Moog Model D from 1979. I've had it MIDI-ed with the Big Briar mod. and the Rivera (or Riviera?) kit too. I have sold it to a great guy in Canada who probably still loves it.
No regrets on my end; The Voyager is a lot of fun to play and is better than the original.

Everyone seem to like them and I would not doubt them. I've had a chance to talk to Dr. Moog once -He is the Man! .....a very nice person. I respect him.

I love it but it is out of my price range. I would pay maybe $1500-2000 even for nostalgia's sake.
I've spent 2 hours playing it @ the local Guitar Center and had a whole lot of fun.
I love the variable waveform triangle to narrow square. It has an organic overall feel to it.

I am using 1.0 that shipped with the moog.I'm still new to editing patches and the whole analog synthesis thing but it isn't as complicated as I thought.The manual is impressive compared to other ones I have seen.

Voyeger sound is different from original mini.
But you can tune sound like original.
This synth is the "true" instrument.

I'm in the midst of my second day of owning it and I understand there are upgrades for the operating system. The presets put you well on your way to a sonic paradise that only a Moog synthesizer can! I owned a Minimoog some years back and had taken to jotting down settings as I twiddled around and realized that they never did sound exactly the way I had originally remembered them. I think that was part of the Mini's "personality". It's a breeze to edit the patches. The manual gives a thorough overview of the functions and general theory of operation. Absolutely outstanding!

It is a monophonic synth. The keyboard had a phenomonal feel to it. No built in "effects". I say that because it will do things like ring modulation due to the syncing of the VCO's. It has MIDI and lots of contol inputs. The keys are weighted and pressure sensitive. No on-board sequencer. I can only compare it to the Minimoog that I owned and am just blown away by the fact that It's programmable! The touch pad is a nice "touch", pardon the pun. Even though I can't rattle off a slew of features, I feel compelled to give it a 10 anyway.

Certainly expressive. This thing will stand up and talk if you take your time. It will suit all types of music, and has for over 30 years. It reacts to your playing just as any fine instrument does. There's a push and pull that will go on between yourself and the Moog that really is driven by creative impulse I suppose. The slighest turn of any given knob will point the two of you into uncharted auditory territory. I just love the rip and sizzle and beep and swoosh of the thing! There is nothing that I have heard that comes close to it. I have yet to get in to the velocity and pressure sensing. I'm sure that it's all good.

I believe I can depend on it. Built like a tank with a four year warranty and two free factory tunings. Although I don't plan to gig with it, I probably would not use a backup.

I've never dealt with the company, but by all accounts they are as helpful and friendly as they come. No repairs or upgrades yet, so we'll see.

Lost or stolen? I perish the thought! It's irreplaceable. It was worth every last penny! We will not see an instrument of such historical import for some time. The old Minimoogs are the coolest, but they do have their shortcomings. I've been playing around with synthesizers for 20 years now. I have a lot of other gear that I am dutifully submitting reviews for. I love everything about it!!! It more than satisfied the void in my creative arsenal that was left when I foolishly surrendered my Minimoog to an individual who could have probably cared less for it in and of itself. What do I hate about it? Nothing. I don't like the fact that Dr. Moog had to wait so long to be permitted to use his name to manufacture musical instruments, but the point is that he's back; back in the fashion that put Moog squarely at the forefront of electronic musical instruments way back when. It inspires me to do things that cannot be approximated on "conventional" instruments. Just try one, if you can find one! If you long for your beloved Minimoog, or just something that can really go far beyond the realm of freeze-dried, prepackaged "we think the musician should really dig this" type sounds then it's right up your alley. It's always cool to have a significant other recognize the sounds that it can make! It has, and by my estimation will continue to permeate the music we hear for a long, long time to come. It is no doubt a lot of money, but just compare it to an original Minimoog and you will see that it's all that and a whole lot more. Granted, it's a lot of money. By the same token it's a whole lotta synth! Best of luck in your quest.
