From what it looks like, this is the mother-32 that doesn't have modular capabilities. Haven't watched the demos yet though, so I can t comment on the sound.

I thought the same. No Moogs in my setup, so I had my eye on that one.
But reviews coming in say they are expecting this to outdo the Mother.

Im not in the market for any for mini synths - maybe a Moog Mother..
But, I think - given full MIDI implementation - I'd trade 5 $100 REs for this.

The knobs are seriously tiny, and not high enough. The main reason I'm not getting any Boutique releases. I also wished they went more for a SH-101' style sound, maybe later.
