Hi people,
I am new to the list. I don’t own a Moog yet but plan to do so very soon. I do consider another synthesizer as well far more powerful but now that I come to think of it… do you think Bob can make us a Memorymoog for the 21st century? Yum…! 
Yannis
i’m shure that bob is able to do that.
Minimoog Voyager = 1 Voice = 3,000.-$
Polyphonic Voyager = 8 Voices = 24,000.-$
What do you think?
Minimoog Voyager = 1 Voice = 3,000.-$
Polyphonic Voyager = 8 Voices = 24,000.-$
Polyphonic Voyager w/8 Voices, including proper operating system upon release = Priceless
Figure out how much the Minimoog cost when new, then compare it to the cost of a new Voyager, then do the same thing with the Memorymoog. Incidentally how much would the latter have cost when new?
I think the MemoryMoog was in the $4,000 range when it was first released around 1981. Around 1983 it was upgraded to the MemoryMoog Plus( Midi and a simple sequencer) all “original” MemoryMoog’s could be upgraded to a Plus. I think towards the end they sold in the $2,000 range.
Great sounding 6 voice synth . Lot’s of good modulation routings, ability to stack 18 oscillators on one key in mono mode…
One of the adds in the early 80’s had six MiniMoogs around a photo of the Memory .
MemoryMoogs have a history of being “unstable” if all of the factory updates have not been performed. They also tend to like staying in one place . The Lintronics update is supposed to work very well, although is very pricey.

If you want a memorymoog, get one from www.emc-de.com or ask Rudi (www.lintronics.biz).
They all have the lintronics upgrade and are stable in tuning. If you like, read my comments at www.harmony-central.com (user reviews - moog - LAMM memorymoog)
The memorymoog is NOT six minimoogs in one box, if you read this advertising you have to know that this is wrong if you compare the sound.
The memorymoog is not an audiophile sounding machine. It sounds rough, always a little scratchy, extremly powerful and very warm.
The voyager can sound very sweet and creamy and extremely powerful too, but not that rough as the memorymoog. But that doesn’t mean the Memorymoog sounds better, just different. The Voyager can sound with one voice more powerful than the memorymoog with one voice.
I have 2 Lintronics Advanced Memorymoogs and 1 Minimoog Voyager.
90 % of the presets of the memorymoog are not that interesting. Create your own sounds and explore Moog-Sound-Heaven.
I have MemoryMoogs and am very familiar with them . I also have a Mini Model D and Two Signature Voyagers and a large percent of the sounds I use I’ve done my self. .
True the Memory is not six mini’s, but it is like, or similar to six mini’s, that’s the point Moog was making in the advertisement back in the early 80’s… the layout is based on the mini, then expanded. Yes it is a very warm and powerful sounding synth, with one voice it can be “thiner” than the Voyager or Model D, but still is very useful . Each has its own character, which is good . I was in no way saying the Memory was better then the Mini or Voyager:). My point was being able to “stack” all 18 oscillators on one key was a nice feature.
Two LAMMs - now that’s rich 
I have MM+, model D Mini, and Voyager SE.
The MM was touted as 6 minimoogs in a box because they missed the boat by an ocean when the Polymoog was released (I have one of those too). When the PM came out, the loudest complaint was that it did not sound like a Minimoog. And it will not sound like a Minimoog - I tried.
The Memorymoog can ooze cream and lard like a Minimoog - the secret is to keep the mixer settings below 50, as they clip pretty harshly above that. I used the Memorymoog on many a gig for Minimoog solos and it sounded great. But the undiscovered jewels in the Memorymoog is its modulation system, which really gets a wide palette of sounds one does not normally associate with subtractive synthesis.
Hi,
someone from MM told me that they are considering many options for new synthesizers… 
I don’t really think that a new Memorymoog would cost $24.000 as one user suggested. And if it did, I wouldn’t buy it. I can spend my money on a far more powerful synthesizer.
$4500 would be a more reasonable price. And of course the price at some time, will drop…
Have any of you purchased a Voyager from Sweetwater??
Yannis
Although I can’t speak for Beluhan, I believe that Beluhan suggested the retail price of $24000.00 as a joke; a bit of tongue-in-cheek is all…
I stand corrected if I’m wrong…
Sure! No problem…
Memorymoog Voyager!
Yes, most definately!
But I would like to see a very complete set of modulation routings which would include: serial (and other types of..) filtering, manifold LFO shapes, Cross modulation, more cv inputs, a dedicated pitch envelope for each osc…etc.
Let Moog make a “Chroma” of sorts! Let it have weighted keys and a large display.
Bring it on, i’ll buy one.
Oh, and walnut.
Please, Please, Please.
P.S. It “IS” the year 2004 after all!!!
If the weighted keyboard had polyphonic aftertouch, I’m your customer
Hi people,
I would agree with MoogBeam… I think that the whole thing is coming full circle again. We might even see modulars… Which is definitely very cool…
The Voyager is way too expensive in Greece. I am looking at prices all over the net and I envy you people 
I think I will order one from Sweetwater. I have checked with the greek customs and the price is definitely better. The only thing that worries me is that one in a million case that something goes wrong. I would have to send the unit back and it’s not something that I would gladly do. 
Have a nice day.
What might be a little a little more afordable…
How about a new version of the OPUS3?
Some things I would give it:
-a few patchpoints
-61 keys
-an optional expander module
-pitch AND mod wheels (and light 'em up!)
-nice wooden cabinet with a tilting panel to match my V’ger
-the original Opus was fully polyphonic - maybe we only really need 8/16 voices
Keep it inexpensive by making it as bare-bones as possible and letting the user add what ever other modules they want (expander and MF’s).
I ordered my AE (and other gear) from them. No problem at all. Ask for Paul Rowan. He’s really good if you need help or concerns (placing orders/product info, etc.). They even do a double check on packaging before sending it to you. You could specify to leave it manufactured sealed if you like, which is what I do.
If a brand new Opus was designed, I would buy it, if a new Polymoog (lighter and more reliable) was released, I’m gonna get it straight away!
To make the Opus look like the Voyager would be a very good idea, that way I can sell it for the price of a secondhand Voyager, because the buyer will think its one. 
Hey monads,
thanx for the info. In fact, I am thinking of buying the Voyager from them. I will contact the guy you suggested. Right now I am in the process of saving up and it won’t be long until I get this baby home… Let’s hope that I won’t change my mind…
$ 24,000.-?
Right, i was just kidding.
But seriously, i don’t think that Moogmusic can manufacture a Polyphonic Synth in the same quality as the voyager for $ 6000.-. If yes, i would buy one right away.
If they decide to do something like the Polymoog (best strings on the planet) or Opus 3 i would buy that too.
Let’s just bug MoogMusic about some sort of VCO expantion unit to turn the Voyager into a polyphonic synth. Charging per VCO.
It(MMV) sends poly MIDI, and has some sort of “Midi Key Order to link up to 16 Voyagers” How about just a seprate bank of VCO??? I’d take 4 more right off the bat. That would mean I’d be able to play 5 diffrent notes on the keyboard. A triad in the upper part of the synth, and an octive for the bass. It would sound great.
Run the external VCO’s throught the AUD IN.
