Moog Music Forum

Yes I had two similar Russian messages - please check the security of the forum - thanks.

Hi All, Do we know if there are any new features to this new Model D? I know that MIDI is included (obviously) but what about a patch memory? I'd sell relatives to get a Minimoog but one feature I'd really want is the ability to store/recall patches. I get the impression this won't as it's meant as...

People seem to forget that the Minimoog D is the brainchild of Bill Hemsath, Jim Scott (renowned for his calculation mistake that overdrove the filter input by some 20 db), and Chad Hunt. Bob Moog joined the team later on. In fact, at first he was dead set against a "limited portable synth wit...

this is so very-very sad..... Kevin was a great person that spread his knowledge all around asking for nothing in return..... for example, he had helped me a lot with my custom synth design dissertation, giving advice and suggestions, without even having meet me ever in person!!! we had interaction ...

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: since yesterday I heard about this, I collect my droped jaws from the floor I know it will be affordable only to the richer of the rich, but I don't care - I love the fact they wanted to make it - bravo to Moog!!!! Buchla, Oberheim, MS2...

Kevin, It's sad to hear about this (and it's somehow 2 months after the original post)
but allow me to say a big THANKS for everything you offer to us and share with all of us, all these years!!!!
I wish to you and yours, the best possible.

Just returned from vacation and found this! :shock: Oh, this is really sad news! :( Duke was a master of keys, played this funk kind of music that could raise the dead to dance.... and he seemed a really joyous and humorous man (maybe due to the Frank Zappa connection) thanks for the music, the spir...

Thank you very much!! Great review!!! I can understand that in it's original age, the Polymoog was a disappointment, but I think too that it's an interesting synth and has a lots of character - a character of it's own, unlike the 'voice card' analog polys, like 'prophet 5' - they are fantastic and c...

I can understand what you're saying, but no-one forces us to buy anything. i don't take it as a "luxury show-off" by Moog music and even, it is their right to do it, if they want to. There is law of marketing that says "design a top quality product and attach a high price - the people...

now, speaking of the memorymoog, I always admire the thing for this particular reason: either it sounds monstrous and dominates the place, and then with a few twists it sounds ethereal and delicate - now, there's another one filter that doing it's own thing....I got to say that...... otherwise, what...

Only love for the OBX - it's my favorite analog polyphonic - that 'Tom Sawyer' sweep, rips my soul every time and this sound is also everywhere in 1981 album and live work by Tangerine Dream, as they used the OBX heavily - it was in their live rig for three tours between 1980 and '82. Many manufactu...

I'm happy that you finally producing the Optokey - I wish you have success with this! Sadly no Mini here :roll: , but I love the fact that this mod is made with the ultimate respect to the Mini - you may have observed through your job all these years, that many mods are usually ugly and (mainly) clu...

thanks a lot for the photos

Best wishes and strength to everyone in Japan and elsewhere - in areas that are in trouble right now
our hearts are with you
I know it's hard, and the recovery it's not an easy task
but I wish and hope that some day all this will be a bad dream
excuse my bad English

@ Alternative Electronics: I 'm still not convinced about this Obermoog modular is related somehow to the OB-MX. :roll: Also, the name 'Obermoog' was the initial name of the OB-MX, for the obvious reason that it had both 'Moog' and 'Oberheim' filters. I remember reading in Peter Forrest's 'A-Z of an...
