Now that we have all of the clues .
Any guesses on a name.
I’m sticking with Orbiter.

My experience with people naming things pre-announcement is they use a kind of outsider’s logic, and the actual name will fit while being a total suprise.
If this synth has some kind of cutting edge feature, it might be named something that reflects that.
But Orbiter would be a great name for a synth.
I predict the Moog Force.
Well I sent in the name “Voyager” when Moog Music was holding a contest to name it and what did I get?
the MOOG ITERATION from IT…
Moog De-light… yes I know it sucked hard!!

I like the Orbiter name. How about a name from a myth or legend… we have the Taurus I and II. Maybe Aquarius or something like that. Being that the side panels are “organic” and flowing (watery - plus the sailboat photoshop!), and not all hard-edge and blocky-like. And the sounds the synth makes will be more fluid and gurgly. I don’t know. 
Kloon saw the leak (if thats what it was) as well. i was waiting for someone to mention it. am i the onyl one here on the analogue heaven mailing list?

of course it could have been someone hacking the site or as someone else suggested, a terrific bluff to throw us off thge trail yet again.
Fire up a Big Fatty
Then fire up Little Phatty
this will be a big hit in Amsterdam
Can’t wait to roll my own patches
now I’m trying to remember what name I suggested when they were naming the voyager years ago… hehe.
The actual name will be good, they’ve managed to name everything they’ve done so far pretty well.
Regarding “Little Phatty”, that must be a “Codename” or a joke… that would be a really really terrible name for a synthesizer, especially from a company like moog who has made it part of their mission to make synths that last and have classic style.
sounds like a name of a $300.00 keyboard that has built in drum patterns like “Samba” and “Bossonova” and “Swing”… hehe.
Moog Mercury
Moog Appolo
Or how about the Moog Voyager 2 lolol.
But I Still think that Ultimoog would be a sweet name for the next synth.
Dr Moog didn’t think it was the type of product that they were looking for.
Moog Apogee
Heheh can’t beat a brother for trying.
I agree with EricK, you can’t go wrong with mythical names:
Moog Pegasus
Moog Perseus
Moog Poseidon
probably best steering clear of Moog Andromeda though…
I would call it Moog BOB…
MiniV
Hal
Boogerfooger
Mono-Voice would be nice.
Moog SONA
-HIMMM
Moog Tribute - as in tribute to Bob Moog since “it was Bob’s vision to bring this product to market”.
But Amos is adamant that cringe Little Phatty is the real name, so further speculation seems redundant…?
It’s been pointed out that LP is a slang term for a spliff. Not round here it isn’t. It just refers to fat kids.
Nice thought MV, but it may recall memories of that cheap naaasty 2-octave thing that WurliTzer stuck on their home organs in the '70s, the Orbit.
At least Thomas Organs had a genuine Satellite !
