Those notes are a classic Christmas riff, kind of. But - I did notice this - the notes stay in the release stage while the next note is being triggered.
As far as an app/software, unless it was something totally revolutionary (and I mean like fetch me a Diet Pepsi from the vending machine revolutionary), I don’t know why they’d keep it until NAMM, and not just release it normally.
So I guess I was kind of quick to rule out the polyphonic synth possibility, but I still somewhat doubt it.
Could it be a new monophonic synth with an oscilloscope built in? (Something along the lines of the PPG Wavetable) Or maybe a sequencer? A new modular system?
You’re right about them hinting at things, but they did a good job of making this one more challenging to guess.
just pretend that it was made w/ an animoog
hmm. i’ve read some rumour-has-it posts on the 4 voice polymoog, though nobody knows. would love something in the eurorack format, though i know it’ll probably not happen.
Since Moog Music is only content on merging old stuff together instead of creating a real new instrument, à la Voyager XL, or removing the keyboard from their synths, à la Voyager RME or Slim Phatty, this can only be:
Either a 4 voices polyphonic Big Phatty, or a footboardless Taurus III RME.
I started to mention a Taurus RME, and actually I would have preferred my unit to have been a RME. I wasn’t able to track down their recent trademarks cause I surely looked. A TRME would fall perfectly in line with their current offerings.
I would hope that a TRME would have an operating system that allows for proper polyphonic voicing with other Voyagers/Phattys.
All of their Synthesizers with Midi should be polyphonicly compatible and independantly contolled. They need an across-the-board operating system just for assigning the synth to a voice.
I also hope that they release a new OS update for the T3, but I digress..
A taurus rme would be awesome! I already have a t3 but that would make bull bass more accessable for others. Probably wouldnt be a limited run too. The logo could be half Bob half horse. Er maybe not…
Hold on, a Taurus RME? Isn’t the beautifully built foot controller half of the draw of the Taurus? They make midi foot keyboards? Sorry if that’s a dumb question…
I could be wrong, but I just don’t think there’s a big enough market to justify building a RME Taurus. I also don’t think Moog would do another mono synth, and a modular would most likely be cost-prohibitive to build (and costly to buy), so I’m betting it’s a 4-voice poly synth, based on the Taurus. As stated, the definition of a Minotaur is a bull’s head on a man’s body, so the name would be perfect. I’m just happy it’s going to be an instrument.
