I get what he's going for, but the same point can be made for his MiniNova. "Why would I want a MiniNova when I can do everything it does AND MORE, ON A COMPUTER?"

Still happy to have ordered one, despite the opinion of one man...

You don't pay for functionality or cool factor you pay for TONE that is the main priority

Yeah if in your scientific test "How it sounds" isn't important enough to feature, then by all means...buy a Mininova.

yep, "tone" says it all. the ms20's filters have such a beautiful tone, no digital synth will ever come anywhere near how good these filters sound.

I'm sure the MiniNova is lovely in a VA way, I use a Xio and I really do like to Novation synth engines for their shiny virtual analog sounds. But it doesn't sound like my Mopho, which is the closest thing I have to an MS-20, and I really like the character of my Mopho.
