Sorry, but that Demo in the video just sounds nowhere near a Minimoog Model D to me. It rather reminds me of some cheesy Casio quality.

Hope to hear something definitely better sounding from that little Behringer device...

And before someone begins ranting about youtube compression: I know, but that's not the problem: I could tell a Model D from this on Youtube anytime, like here:

I wouldn't call it Casio but I didn't hear what I was hoping for either. A lot of it is in his choice of sounds I'd say. It was all very clean and he didn't do any of the searing leads or buzzy basses I'd be getting it for. It did sound brighter than my Voyager and it still had a lot of low end so that's encouraging. Time will tell I suppose Smile

Still looking forward to trying one out when I get the chance.

To me this is the very first Youtube Video, in which the Behringer sounds like a Model D. I stay with my view, that all Youtube demos I heard so far didn't really sound great. No idea if it was the beta stadium or they way they were programmed and played: they just didn't convince me at all.

But this video is strong evidence for a well done clone indeed. And that would definitely deserve some WOWs: a well done Model D clone at a fraction of the price of the original. After this video I will definitely check one in the store, and if it sounds as authentic as in this video, I'd buy it without any second think.

That was my point. People were denigrating it without ever having heard someone A/B it, and just writing it off because it "just CAN'T" sound like a Mini if it's $299.00 (or $399.00) and it's from Behringer.

Well, I guess the adage is true; "Haters gonna hate."

I will withhold any opinion until I hear an extensive A/B comparison with the original. It really is the only way to verify the Behringer model's accuracy of sound. Cool

I'm a professed Moog snob but this thing does sound good for the $$. On the video I did hear some differences between the vintage and this clone with the vintage receiving the nod. I think the differences will become more apparent with actual in-person listening. The choice between the SE02 and this one is a little more difficult now. In my case, I need patch memory so the SE02 will probably come first but I could definitely see the Behringer finding a place in my studio.

We've got to remember that Jareth is comparing the Behringer to a 45 year old Minimoog, that he's admitted has not been properly calibrated.

He's also hoping to compare it against the MM re-issue, which I think would be a far fairer thing to do in order to discount any component aging from affecting the sound.

for about 300$ even if sounds about 90% close to the original it's a great job.
to my ears off youtube its around 95% there,but kinda lacking that ballsy subharmonic, might just be recording / model difference.

it's be interesting to see given this price, someone come up with a 3-4 voice synth based off these and some clever arduino/rpi midi,voice allocator engine.

Since I was never really comparing it to a model D and now that I have heard a good comparison I am even more sold. I am preordering one. I will let my wife hold it till Christmas my birthday and Christmas are very close so she will go for that.
