This almost deserves its own thread since this is sort of like a hijack at this point but anyways hehe.
I sold my moog a few weeks ago since I think the Minimax does a fine job of Moog emulation, I wouldnt say it can replace a moog entirely, but for me I just find the CW sound to be very pleasing a bit more sophisticated sounding and also much easier to work with than to deal with CV conversions and patching, so while I would say yes I think the CW gear stands up quite nice, there really is no 100% solution yet to abandon all analog outboard as of yet imo.
What I like about the creamware stuff is that it sounds so good compared to pure software VSTi's when you take the CW synths and combine them with outboard it sounds REALLY good, infact so good imo that you really couldnt tell the diference bewtween analog and digital at that point.
CW sysnths sound like outboard to me, so thats why these days many of my VSTi's arew collecting dust. I like to use the UKNOW and it does a fair job at emulating a 106, but I wont be selling my 106 anytime soon
and as for bass the only thing I have found that can even touch my SH101 is Flexor patches in Mod3, you can really make some amazingly (is that even a word) bass sounds with the flexor modules.I guess what I am trying to say is, yes the CW devices sound incredible, and when mixed with analog gear they sound even better, nothing is an all in one solution, but if you can have em both or all, then it can be quite blissfull.
A prime example of CW devices mixed with analog devices is a track I uploaded in the music forum called " AP remix Never let me down (sense of reverence) ".
In this track is TONS of CW stuff and some alanog and digital outboard, lots of Prodessey, Pro-One stuff and SH101, Clavia Nord Lead2, Roland Super JV1080 and Flexor stuff.
Just to give ya an idea of what im talkin about.
Cheers!
