MOOG at NAMM 2005

Some guy in Spain won the AE Voyager. I forget his name.

Yes Dave Smith sure is SCI!!! I’ve got one of his Model 800 sequencers. The first SCi product ever made (along with the Model 700 programmer)…they were made in his garage in California I believe…the first ones tacked together with scap wood. I’ve fortunately have#217 of less then 500 ever made…metal casing not wood :wink:
Anyone interested in adding it to their collection, drop me a line.

It was considered a scaled down version of the Prophet 5 when it was released. I honestly don’t remember what the differences were anymore, but it was a lot cheaper at the get go. I have a Prophet 5 I bought new in 1981 and I stopped paying attention to the new synths for awhile after that, cause I spent ALL my money. :slight_smile: The Prophet T8 was an awesome synth. Darn expensive at the time, and not cheap now. Probably the best Prophet ever made. That’s subjective of course.

I’m going to spring for a DSI KB Evolver when I can scrape up the cash. You can do things with that synth you can’t do with the Prophet 5.

Now only if MOOG would make a POLY synth again. Four voices would work for me! Oh, and under 5 grand please.

Oh, that WOULD be nice.

If ever they did get around to that, one thing that I’d instantly ask for the same kind of processing capabilities as most of the modeling synths. To run genuine Moog oscillators through delays, phasers, chorus, reverb and vocoder - without having to plug it into a seperate unit. :astonished: WOW!!

We keep dreaming about how great the next Moog thing could be, but to me it seems that Moog seldom releases new things. Polyphonic all-analog synthesizer with a bazillion effects? The most moog has done in the last 10 or more years is work with the mini-moog and the etherwave theremin, and liscense their name out to countless MiniMoog soft-synths. I would be truely surprised if they did anything else. Not to downplay how great the stuff Moog used to make is. Not to downplay how great thier new stuff is. Just saying, it doesn’t look like Dr. Moog is as crazy as he used to be. He knows his market, and he understands what he can sell.
