But that is not an issue with plugins, that design flaw becomes a tool.No, I don't think that's the case at all. It's a design flaw, one freely admitted to by the guy who designed it. A necessary compromise to keep the cost down.
It's one of the characteristics of a Minimoog one that gets modeled, component costs are not relevant with plugins
It gives the Minimoog it's characteristic sound. That either works for you or it doesn't. When I want that sound in 2024, I just use a plugin. If I want a Polivocks sound I can just use Atomika
Limited parts availability inside of the Iron Curtain most certainly caused compromises in the Polivocks as well. Much like the Minimoog those compromises give it character that can be modeled
We live in a fantastic time when all of these design flaws and the character they create can be modeled in very inexpensive plugins and offer things like polyphony that the original hardware never did
They are all just tools
