Seeing as the patch points on the moggerfooger plugins were really a smattering of usual suspects, and the circuit emulation didn’t really heat up like the hardware, I don’t think you missed anything. But if the trend is that the cabling is now extending this interoperability to a synth, they might consider offering a bundled price.
playing with it now. it does bring some stuff to the table that other moogs vsts dont have (nor the minitaur), such as a sine wave haha, and advanced modulation.
however: am i correct that in the (desktop/mac) version, the window is non resizable?
Sine waves should be mandatory on two osc analog mono synths.

Resizes for me. I just clicked-and-dragged the lower-right corner.
hmm not for me in logic, which daw / version are you using?
also, i see some sort of keyboard/scale mode in some demos and the manual, how to turn it on?
It resizes for me in ableton with the VST3.
Logic, v10.8.1. Here’s how it works for me:
thanks! i was trying to do it pulling the corner of the plugin window, but it seems i needed to use the ‘wooden’ corner. thanks again!

PS do you also notice that sometimes when using the mouse to adjust the knobs it ‘hangs’ a bit (laggy)?
and lastly, anyone know till when the introductory price of 49 dollars is effective?
he kinda tip toes around it really, never opens the filter up past 1.2k with the res so high, except when the resonance is already up. But either way, I’m thinking mine (and others who have expressed it here) may have a bug or something b/c it’s like not even close to smooth, it’s like right past 9 it just goes into a different realm, and not even resonance, more like into digital distortion and noise territory.
Anyway, I do agree with Starsky, it’s not the best sounding filter. I felt that right away and still agree. Overall it’s a good synth, but has plenty of quirks. Should be considered good, for what it is.
any logic user here that bought moog mariana and was able to validate it in logic?

Yep.
It was a bit convoluted because it opens up in the browser if I remember right.
Then you copy and paste the code into inMusics …ahem, I mean…. Moogs plug-in activation site.
Check to see if you have pop ups blocked.
I hope I have this right. I went on the usual Black Friday spending spree. All vst’s this year, so I may have confused how to activate what.
I don’t have logic but yeah, it opens up a pop-up in the browser where you have to log-in to the Moog software website (confusingly, different account then the normal Moog website where you would register your hardware).

Yeah, but not so much a different login that Safari tried using the Moog password. But you have to open a separate account.
inMusic is gonna inMusic, I guess.

Still better than iLok. I hate having that crap in my computer, I think now I can remove it again cuz iLok has been something I’ve removed VSTs of my pc in the past

We use ProTools at Chicago City College.
iLok actually got better, since we don’t need to use the usb keys anymore.
Between ProTools and Adobe, I must have Stockholm syndrome.

Can Mariana do bright higher register sounds like the Sirin? I’ve only ever laid hands on the Slim Phatty and Sirin in hardware.
Normal-ish. These don’t seem to be “stable self-oscillation” kind of filters like on the Mini. They’re more “we generate resonance by feeding back into the filter so if you want to really crank the feedback you get what you get” kind of filters like the MF-101S. In fact, the Mariana and MF-101S sound similar enough to my ears that it wouldn’t surprise me if they shared code.
Yes.
I have, so far, found it to be a capable synth in the upper registers. But it’s super beefy in the bottom end, justly warranting the title of bass synth.
