Moog Music Forum

I wouldn't go as far as to say that the Moog One is a turkey. Not at all. It's a fantastic machine, with literally tons of possibilities. But maybe the engineers got lost in the features and forgot about the fondamental building block: the sound ? Anyway, I sincerely hope that everyone who gets one ...

So far, I'm really unimpressed by the One. Sure it offers lots and lots of possibilities, but the overall sound of it is uninspiring. I own a Minimoog D, a DSI OB6, a Prophet REV2, and a few other classic synths, and even a Korg DW8000 is more appealing, sound wise, than everything I've heard so far...

Hello Igor, and welcome to the forum.

I strongly suggest asking Moog Music Inc directly via email on their web site (using the link below), because it is not certain that they always monitor this forum.

P.S. I doubt that the Moog One can sound anything like this (especially the Minimoog D part). I hope I'm wrong.

Alain, Is it realistic for you to drive to a US store and bring one back? Hello Eric. No, not really. Regardless, we will eventually get units in a Montreal music store called Moog Audio (not related to Moog Music Inc in any way). That being said, my initial excitement is dwindling down after each ...

I also received an email reply from Moog Music about my "complaints" towards the new web site. And they clearly do not read or follow the forum on this matter. Here's a copy of the email: " Thank you for taking the time to post feedback regarding our new website on the Moog forum. We ...

My personal opinion is that this Moog One will probably the make-or-break polysynth for Moog Music Inc. Much like the Memorymoog was, over 35 years ago. First, at this high a price point, not everyone can afford it. And it's already showing signs of instabilities in some demos (to be supposedly addr...

Just a quick note: I wanted to get a Moog One from Sweetwater, but one of their sales rep told me that Moog Music Inc does not allow them to sell/ship Moog products outside the USA, even if I live in Canada just next door. Pretty stupid sales policy from Moog if you ask me. To get back to the One, i...

Thanks for all the info Dan ! It's nice of you to take time to answer questions here. You're indeed a passionate synth man ! :D That's another way to simulate the "imperfections". But how do you play E-A-G notes with the keyboard pitch control to the VCOs turned off? The oscillators all pl...

The proper way to program that Tom Sawyer intro sound (done on Geddy Lee's custom Oberheim 8 voice SEM synth I believe) is to turn off keyboard pitch control of the oscillators and tune them to a low E, and turn on 100% keyboard tracking for the filter cutoff, have the filter envelope sweep down the...

Hi Dan ! I've got a couple of questions about tuning stability. In some parts of some videos, mostly by Amos, I've noticed a couple of times that some notes were badly out of tune. He did his best to quickly stop playing them move on to explain something else, but it was noticeable. Question One ( :...

I don't see any prices anywhere either... A lot of useful info seems to have gone out the window with this awful design.

I've sent them a comment about it, asking them to bring back the perfectly fine old one, via the "talk to us" tab on the site...

Agreed that this is one of the worst web site design that I've seen.
Ugly and awful.

Well. After having a talk with my SW sales rep, it seems that for all potential international customers, Moog Music Inc does not allow USA based stores (like Sweetwater) to ship Moog products outside the USA. Those products are only available locally from Moog selected/approved stores in respective ...
