I bet it sounds better than a BSII. I have the latter, and a Sub25. What I find so crazy is the BSII, by comparison is much weaker at … bass! The Sub25 can shake the walls the way the BSII cannot.

In any case, having one set of knobs to cover both oscillators is a horrible UI decision.

So the Messenger’s sound is likely better. Build quality — we’ll see. My BSII feels like a hollow chunk of plastic.

And please don’t get me started on inMusic’s shoddy customer support…

Maybe it’ll end up being too expensive, I dunno, if so i just won’t get one. Done!

Agree. Also, if it’s really not adding anything to the millions of existing synths on the market. I still think Typhoon with it’s ridiculously good sounding effects from Sinevibes is the only analogue monosynth anyone really needs, given its form factor, features, price (and dreadbox employees seem like really nice and funny chaps).

I somehow don’t see the appeal of spending that much money on what becomes a museum piece in 90% of cases and I’m not really sure, how Dr. Moog would think about the lack of innovation of his heritage, tbh.

It’s also great to forget brand names and look at what they do. I personally think it’s a bit much for what it does. But then again, I’m not a gear collector or someone who listens to one single instrument all day, but a musician, so I’m probably not the target group of this whole out of control saturated market. I know, it’s a hot take, that people buy synths to make music and perform, I know 😉
