Moog/minimoog on Mainstage 2

Is there a moog or minimoog sound on Mainstage 2? Or, perhaps is there a sound that is similar? Maybe anadditional sound package could be downloaded from some place...Thanks!

There are a lot of sounds for the ES2. Just create a new patch with a channel strip with an ES2, open the UI of the synth and go thru the presets.

Or select a channel strip preset (that's the button right below the expression control). Factory/06 Synthesizers/Synth Leads/Analog moog lead is a good starting point. Bypass the additional plug-ins, the sound drowns in FX processing.

Best,

Arturia makes an excellent Minimoog emulator called the Mini V. These can be used as AU plug-ins with Mainstage and Logic.

Outside of buying a bona-fide Moog Voyager, I think this is the best way to get authentic Minimoog sounds.

Check out Arturia's other products, like the Modular V, ARP2600 V, and especially the CS80V. They're delightful for analogue synth-geeks.
