Moog Music Forum

It's been 13 or 14 weeks for some of us. Though I haven't been asking "when" publicly, I have been watching this thread in anticipation and I will continue to wait patiently. 8) Perhaps. But I sort of regard the CP-251 as a gift rather than a bundled product. It wasn't, after all, central...

The form said that it would be an 8-10 week wait. Seems to be poor form to keep asking "when."

Yamaha combo organs had this back in the 1970s. It was called touch vibrato.

I remember seeing a post from Amos with an oblique reference to a polysynth, so who knows. To be honest, though, I don'th think I'd really care if Moog produced apolysynth, since it would almost certainly be priced well out of my reach... by several orders of magnitude. Moreover, I have naval and no...

Eric is sitting in a room different from the one you are in now...

I'd pay $n for that upgrade.

Hugh Le Caine's Electric Sackbut was, in many ways, the first voltage-controlled synthesizer. Its first version was built in 1945. I doubt whether Moog knew much about it, since as far as I know, Le Caine did not publish his research. In that sense, Moog can be said to have independently invented VC...

It's funny how Buchla is often held up as Moog's foil. Apart from the fact that they came up with pretty much the same -- or similar -- ideas about voltage controlled synthesis at about the same time, you have to remember that they worked in radically different environments. Buchla was well within t...

I'm with Voltor07. My musical training is in piano, of course, but also in violin and flute, so I'm not wedded to the concept of a keyboard. Having said that, I find it unlikely that the synthesizer -- specifically the Moog -- would have taken off as a commercially viable and accessible instrument i...

Have I missed something? What is this Voyager NE that Novamusik has a page for?

I think I've already posted this. I'm still trying to figure out how to re-organize my rig...

I would have to agree somewhat with Extra. Jarre's music seems thin, trite, and poppy to my ears. However, anybody that performs electronic music and attains a following gets a thumbs up in my book. The more the public accepts electronic music the better it is for all synth musicians. That, of cour...

While I agree that JMJ is a fine composer and musician, I think "one of the greatest composers of our time!" is a wee bit of an overstatement

You must be in the wrong part of Montreal!

He's hardly a household name anywhere, but most people who listen to electronic music have, I imagine, heard of him. Even in Montreal.

I have a spotty history with modules. I really prefer keyboards, especially for playing live.
