Moog Music Forum

thats what i was thinking! ha!

i didnt have a PM either - i think the folks at moog must have discovered this before we checked our PMs and deleted them.

Yup. ANY Prophet 5 that works well is a pleasure to use. Just be careful, there are a lot of broken ones out there. If you're going to buy one get it from a reputable source that's had it serviced.

some rev 2s can be a lot of trouble. i recommend either learning about its features and figuring out whats wrong with it (most p5s need some kind of service at this point in time) or finding someone who can assess its condition. either that or risk having an upset buyer.

do you mean a cx5m music computer?

dear rick i think you can set up the modulation section so that the sample and hold will retrigger the envelope as well as effecting the oscillator, but im not 100% sure right now as i havent used a micro in a while. also check the bypass switch - if its on, the sound will always bleed through. you ...

oh, fwiw, the few things weve sold that have been called "restored" usually have been disassembled, thoroughly cleaned inside and out, recalibrated, capacitors replaced, faders disassembled, cleaned, relubed, key contacts cleaned and adjusted. keys removed and cleaned, bushings replaced wi...

yes, levels of restoration work vary. we dont pretend to do the same 60-70 hour restorations kevin lightner may perform for popstars with bottomless wallets. :) anyone who wants that level of restoration should contact kevin and expect to pay a lot for it. I_G, youre right. you may want to contact s...

i think youre thinking too much about it! dont worry about what other people are saying. you and i have our own opinions on the mg1. just enjoy it and make some good music with it!!

when i said the MG1 is truly polyphonic, i meant it truly does play polyphonically - that is multiple notes at a time, not that it fits MC's description of true polyphony.

to expand upon what i said "i wouldnt consider it a true polysynth because of this (no envelope release) and other limitations", ok, its truly polyphonic, yes, but theres no way the mg1s polyphonic section can touch the range of sounds a prophet 5 or almost any other poly synth can make. s...

looks like you discovered most peoples biggest complaint about the poly section. :) for an organ type of volume contour, its fine, but if you want anything with a release, forget about it. youre right to take it for what it is, dont be unhappy about what it isnt - its a cool little synth and IMO a v...

like i said... "you will see in time, my son. in time... "

let us know when you figure out its biggest limitation.

i think its a much better value than the rogue. the polyphonic section does have its limitations. you will see in time, my son. in time...
