Moog Interface

With my purchase of the MP 201 multi-pedal, I have been thinking about hwo Moog could move in a new direction. At the moment, the only company that I know of making a DC coupled interface is MOTU who also makes “Volta” which allows computers to create CV outputs using a standard audio interface.

Think of this…

Take an MP 201 but now make it into an interface 8 ins, 8 outs which would be:

  1. Gates
  2. CVs
  3. Audio

You could even create 3 mixers

  1. Logic mixer for the gates
  2. CV mixer (additive and mulitiplicative)
  3. Audio Mixer

Then create a mixer for the audio oriented towards foogers so that a single audio in could be slit to create parallel fooger chains which could then be remixed or have a fully flexible serial signal routing.

I am just bouncing this kind of thinking around and not suggesting anything specific. I also realize that this would be expensive but I would love to have something like this for my rig.

Great idea. I’d buy one!

I really dig this idea, however I think it’s too close to modular for them to really capitalize on it; There’s a reason why the MP-201 has a gas pedal, and even then it’s probably not their biggest seller by any stretch; I think they’d have a hard time justifying the R&D/production costs for it.

I don’t disagree although having something compact like this would be great and the platform is already there in the MP-201. There is a lot of room for expansion with the MP-201.

I am sure I will eventually get a modular not so much for a full system but to do some of the things I mention here.
