You're right; I'm guessing they simply didn't have space for these features on the RME. Ironically, though, it's more useful here (I think) than on the Voyager, because it lets you use the RME as a sound module in a modular setup. Having seen the size of the RME, though, I'm not surprised they had to add this extra module. Someone must have been asking for it. Anyway, the news here is that we'll GET news round about Musikmesse time. Given that many people were disappointed with the announcements that came out of NAMM, that has become a headline. Doesn't say a lot for the NAMM show as announcements go, of course . . . . . . You’re right; I’m guessing they simply didn’t have space for these features on the RME.

I'd love to own a Voyager. I've played with one at an instrument shop and thought it was superb. I'm just suggesting that for its price point and features, it's a little surprising that adding CV is somehow a godsend. I’m not down on Moog. I’d love to own a Voyager.

But aside from the fantastic and distinctive sound, the knobs are kind of the point with Moog instruments. There's nothing like the ability to tweak the sound in real-time as you are playing, or to be able to program your own sounds without delving into a maze of menus.

Now I'll go see if you've started an eBay stampede. :-) The Voyager stuff really does feel and sound great, though; I think it's well worth the attention it's been getting. Putting the Moog brand name aside, it really is a brilliant instrument. Hey, we’re not Moog snobs here . . . the more, the merrier. Now I’ll go see if you’ve started an eBay stampede. :-)

You can pick up a used one for less than $300.
