The Moog Werkstatt-Ø1 is a fun but limited synth, perfect for creating sample libraries as well as using in a modular setup. My use for it was creating a sample library. I did not use it with any external CV gear. I did use the CV patch bay in my patches however and I DID opt to not attach the 1/8” ports as there were a couple of CV points that had multiple connections with the smaller patch cables that were lost using the 1/8” breakout attachment. First off the filter is classic Moog. If you want Moog sound on a budget, here it is. Now I believe the classic Moog sound also comes from the interplay of detuned oscillators like the three on the Minimoog and that is simply not available here but this still has a good sound and there are quite a range of tones to be found. I like how the LFO goes into audio rate for analog-FM tones. This does give an element of beating that is almost akin to multiple oscillators. One drawback and I do take a point off for this is the envelope only has a full sustain and attack & release segments. It’s impossible to decay down to a moderate sustain level. Sustain is either on or off. It’s just the nature of the synth but a sure drawback. The CV matrix really opens up the synth beyond the front panel knob and switch controls. Without a full understanding of modular systems but with a firm grasp on synthesis, I was able to get a pretty interesting range of sonic textures from this little synth. It’s quite easy to build and took very little time at all. No soldering is required and it feels pretty sturdy once assembled. All in all the Werkstatt is great for getting an extremely inexpensive albeit limited Moog sound in your setup.Read full review

This is a Real Moog, not a toy,It can produce just about any Synth sound you can think of,it is highly Moddable, one drawback is the Moog how to videos leave a bit to be desired, but you can patch almost anything to it, so far I have arpeggiators via Arduino,my Theremin works well with it, price and shipping are fantastic
