Chris and Jody waltz into the minefield of hardware vs software synths. What are the pros and cons to each side of the fence? What particular side of the fence do they land on? What is the practical application of each and what do some of the more successful musician producers tend to use in the studio or in a live situation? They’re ready for the blowback on the controversial topic.

Chris and Jody jump aboard the Mini Moog D bandwagon. Or rather talk about the history of the Mini Moog and how it came to be. The breakdown of what goes into a Mini Moog, the idea of what made it special and unique. The ground it broke and the path it created. What artists were known to have used it and help make it popular. Plus Friday Find and… It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
