People always want to complain about things but the truth is, since I bought this thing, I’ve made some unique sounding shit. You can tell a difference from my other tracks with just Omnisphere or Arturia vsts. It’s a thicker sound and the analog detune has a certain feel you can’t replicate in VSTs. At first glance, you can pull up the default sound and compare it to Arturias Minimoog vst and they sound exactly the same, which they would be cause they just copied and pasted the default sound. It’s when you start twisting knobs when you can hear the difference. You can’t copy and paste knob movements and that’s what separates this. Not to mention the HW connectivity to my Omnisphere with this and the fact that I can record midi and knob movements to apply to any other sound for layering. Saving presets is sick too I’ve already made 30 custom 808 sounds that are way more musical then a spinz 808 in a sampler. Well worth $500 for a classic piece that will be worth more than double in the future. Oh yeah, some moog filters sell for this amount alone and you can use this as an effect box for external instruments. I’ve already ran some mixes through it and it gave it a feel I couldn’t find in my plugin filters.
Everyone thats criticising this, think for a min. Price aside- this is the most portable way to get that Moog sound WITH patch memory, integrated DAW hosting, lots of under the hood features. For someone like me that has gigged with a Minitaur since 2015, its the perfect form factor for travelling with for Moog bass and now leads. Theres some very practical aspects to this synth that folks are overlooking- ie its size and sound, I can now have a box that sounds much like my Source and Voyager (yeah I know its only 2 oscs) but with full note range. To me thats a huge plus and im selling my Minitaur to grab this.
I have the Sirin controlled by the Akai Force and I really like the combo. The SIrin sounds great and makes for easy synth transitions as a song builds. The small size is a huge benefit.
I'm new to this channel - I was searching for info on the Sirin. Lots of channels present the waveform and FFT displays, but this one does it more nicely than any format I've seen before. Obviously it's throughout this video, but 16:07 is a particularly good example. Nice :)
AByallo 1 second ago I got mine for $600 USD while in the States. Not mad at all. The EU release is €720 to start, which admittedly is WAY overpriced for a 2 osc mono, whether or not it's got the Moog warmth coming out of it. Honestly I bought the Monologue for €230 used and it's one of my favorites. It took a while to tame, it's generally WAY too easily aggressive in character. I just don't make that kinda 90s movie cheesy rave scene techno, thanks. But considering the sequencer, white noise and all, a far better value. That all said, I'm excited to own both and have them volley a bit in some fun sequences, but will probably use the Sirin for leads and lead-like bass lines vs. the Korg, and definitely for sine-y warm ambient tinkly stuff. The Korg DOES get some insane sub that remains in a lovely pocket and doesn't take over a mix. That's kinda what I've been using it for the most, tbh. Anyway, happy to own the Sirin, but it's got me craving more Moog now :-/
@@thes.wilsonchannel203 Still widely available though, and they've been getting cheaper. If you're lucky you can find stores who are getting rid of their last stock at lower prices.
It was limited manufacturing.This product not manufactured any more. Many Moog products are manufactured for certain time and then stopped. For example, the Moogerfooger Delay 104M is hard to find and it’s costs triple from the original cost when it was produced
I'm a bit underwhelmed by this thing. I know you always pay extra for the moog brand, but this sits very close to the price of the Sub Phatty, and it seems to have a lot less functionality than that. Let alone when you compare it to things like the arp odyssey module, or the minibrute 2s, or possibly things like the 0-coast, which are all more or less the same price. The Sirin seems a bit dull and conservative. I suppose it is a matter of taste and brand perception, and if you don't want a big bulky Sub Phatty in your setup, and you don't mind doing most of your editing from a computer, but you do want that trademark moog sound, this might be the ticket. I doubt I'm going to be that guy, but there's nothing wrong with how it sounds, and some people may not need more than a couple of nice moogey leads and basses.

Oh... this is definitely the best review that I have seen.
great video visualisation, well done! :-)
Great review!Thank you!
You did a great job, Pete.
Looks Grandmother-ish without any patching points on the face of it.
Very usefull info, and nice presentation - thx 🎼
Such a great synth.

AByallo is this sirin better than the grandmother or could the grandmother perform the same??
there is not switch on/off. So, I have to remove the power cable completely? is it safe?
Yes. But you can switch it off at the mains.
@@marrymemaddie Or spend $5 at the hardware store and buy an inline on off switch
Good review
Thanks.
Very interesting..
So you’re saying the Sirin is a better deal than the Mother 32...?
sounded to me like he said the opposite. he said the sirin "just does not compare" to mother 32. but I disagree
Sounds and looks great. WAY overpriced though.
I really want it mainly for the way the front panel's design will affect my consciousness while playing music. I fell in love at first sight honestly.
Mikeureko me too... its kinda like porn for the soul
Just stop being poor lol
I can't create pad patches with this. Sorry I'll get the mother 32
Increase the attack and release and lower the filter? Add a small bit of LFO modulation? Lol sure you can make pads.
I have the Mother 32 and still want this (or a Minotaur). Been thinking about selling the M32 so I can get one.
I just want a friggin keyless Sub Phatty module.
You mean the Slim Phatty?
gladtobeangry slim phatty was discontinued

well, it sounds like a moog
they had ppl believing this thing was limited smh
Some people still believe so. Check out the rest of the comments here. Lol
Did they keep producing them beyond the initial run of 2000 units?
try getting one now 😫
@@hellohogo that’s crazy! But everything thing is hard to get and up in price now because of Covid .

Sub Phatty blows this away.
