just
ordered
First post.
…and I just preordered my first Moog from Sweetwater! I’m really looking forward the the werkstatt!
I’m curious if anyone knows: There does not seem to be a headphone jack, or a volume control… Does that mean that I’ll need to run it through a mixer or maybe a Kaoss-pad in order to play with headphones?
Thanks!
Is it possible to use Werkstatt in Europe too? I’m asking because of the voltage.
I got this message:
I’m sorry to inform you that we are unable to ship Moog products outside of the USA. Please contact your local Moog dealer for more information regarding the purchase of a Werkstatt. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
and this one (from another dealer)
Unfortunately, we are only authorized to ship our products within the United States.
So I learned that a US company is not free to sell an US product (a Moog product) outside the USA??? Is there any reason for this?
And why I got the information about the availability - direct form Moog? So how can I order one…
Really strange
There are probably legal reasons for this. Also, the very limited number of units available might not help matters.
But why would anyone, who already own a Voyager XL, a Sub Phatty, a Theremin, multiple Moogerfoogers, a GRP A4, would want such a simple toy soooo badly ?
Buy yourself a Korg MS20 re-edition and you’ll get twice the number of oscillators, twice the number of filters, better envelopes, a more complete patch bay, and a better keyboard…
Or maybe the complete set of Volca mini synths (for about the same price as the Werkstatt).
Of course you wouldn’t get a genuine Moog ladder filter and a genuine Moog sound, but you already have that in spades.

… the list is not complete - you forgot the Grendel Drone Commander…
Touché.
Ironic considering the name is in German… Can you get them in Top America Alien?
I doubt it, even though I’m just a few hundred miles away from Moog Music.
If they say that they don’t ship internationally, that usually includes Canada too.
Wot??? No CPU? No firmware? No midi over USB to interface to ProAbleLogicBase? This thing will never sell…
Now if you"ll excuse, got to go back play my Prodigy, or model D
Der Werkstatt uses +12vDC.
I used my 12v Minitaur adapter when I made the demo video.
So… If you could find a Euro Minitaur adapter you’d be all set.
But how would he be able to buy a Werkstatt in Europe if they don’t sell it outside USA ?
(see earlier post by Red on the subject on page 2 of this thread)
Unless he knows someone in the states that could buy it for him, and ship it to Europe privately ?
Who would do such a thing? : )
so i got word today that i made the cut for the first round of these shipping out and am very excited, but this thing opens up a new realm for me…that is the circuit bending and building end of electronics that i have NOOOOOOO clue on, but am super psyched to get into yet have no idea where to start. any pointers? sites? i’m a journeyman plumber (with a BFA in sculpture) that has some electrical background so i get flow but working with boiler wiring vs synth wiring just seems so different although it probably isn’t. and Daniel Fisher thanks for that great video but stop making things sound so good that i always want to buy them my wallet is starting to hurt. rambling. anyway is the werkstatt going to get its separate forum? talk mods etc etc!!!
. . . je viens de lire:
Moog выпустил небольшую ограниченную подготовку производства для Moogfest. Они не достигают международной купли-продажи. Продукт все еще разрабатывается и будет официально поступит в продажу в третьем квартале 2014 года. Мы сообщим вам, как только придет время.
For those who don’t speak Russian (or French) :
French translated by me, obviously, but Russian translated using Google Translate.
It was never intended for sale outside the Moogfest workshop. With the popular demand they received, they probably just started making them available locally within the US. To sell to Europe, they probably have to get them CE certified. Sounds like they’ll be doing this later in the year.

Thanks Demon_dan. Yesterday I’ve received an email from a sales guy from Sweetwater that they are not allowed to sell Werkstatt to Europe. So no Werkstatt for me. 
You never know. There are a lot of friendly, helpful people on this forum…
The Audio out of the Werkstatt is simply “ON” but is hot enough to drive a set of headphones (left channel). There is NO volume control, so you’d need something in the line if you want that dynamic. I’ve had some lovely success putting my into the External Audio “IN” of my Voyager as a drone pitch and playing it along side the Voyager and though it’s envelopes.
