It should also be noted that in this video I created sounds on the Rogue first and then tried to recreate them on the LP. It is easier to do this (than the other way around) because the Rogue is relatively limited as compared to the LP.
Back in the 80's I had a Rogue and a Korg Poly 800, mostly because they were about the cheapest synths money could buy, and I had very little money. They were considered by many to be toys, as opposed to "real" synths like the Korg Mono/Poly, Memory Moog, MiniMoog, and a whole bunch of other keyboards that I couldn't afford.
If I never see a Rogue again for the rest of my life, that'll be fine with me. I understand that younger folks may find them interesting artifacts left over from what was perhaps the golden age of analog synths, but to me they're just a relatively weak little synth that I tolerated for way too long. But to each his (or her) own....
