"Fast approaching is Europe’s premier musical merchandiser tradeshow - Musik Messe. If you are in the Frankfurt area, drop by and see your friends at Moog Music, who will be exhibiting again this year.
Expect a BIG announcement about a little addition to our product line. Until then, we will leave you guessing.
I swear to god…if it’s another instrument for the guitarist i’m gunna flip out…im so sick of moogerfoogers…(although they are cool)…I want a brand new spanking affordable simple monosynth…
I will tell your right now…if it’s what I want I will do everything in my power to get it…
if not…screw moog (though I LOVE moog)…im getting a new korg or something
A Radiophonic synth that converts FM and VHF signals into modulation sources
A Tablabox that plays Indian Tabla Rhythms
Tax calculation Synth that allows you to calculate in your taxes while playing music using predefined patterns, just like on the murf.
The Moog XC-Ski that records the sound of snow under your skis and converts it to Control Voltages which are transmitted via wireless connection to your satellite receiver and automatically creates a finished song when you’re back home.
A polyphonic car horn
Moog 'Ringotonemoog" to make ringtones in high quality.
A Brainwave modulator that picks up thoughts and converts it into audible frequencies
A Speech Synthesizer that answers philosophical questions
Software for designing custom Moog instruments along the lines of the Modular V, including all of the above.
I hope its a succesor to the source, that keyboard was pretty much near perfect spec apart from its slight unreliable flat panel.Ive never really needed a third osc on the source as it sounds so thick anyway.

Hello,
I am a current Owner of a vintage MicroMoog. I know it might sound
Ridiculous, but I totally swear by this synth, and its not even a
MINI. I
absolutely love MOOG. Ive been contemplating getting the Roland
V-Synth,
but my heart is too loyal to MOOG. I thought about a Synth that you
guys
could build that would be the best thing that ever came out of the
factory:
THE ULTIMOOG----
Here you would have an 88 key synth with all of the features of all
of the
MINI, Micro,Poly, Multi, ect. Give me like 300 voices, install a
theramin
inside it and maybe sell it for like $7,500 dollars or more and it
would
be
the best synthisizer ever created since the Modular Moog. TO hell
with
roland haha.
If only i woudl have known that it was him, i woudl have told him thank you for giving me so much inspiration.
We created an album speciffically for him and I contacted Moog Music about sending it to him so he coudl listen to it, but unfortunately he passed away before I could let him hear it.
Really though, its probably the rackmount expansion box.
Moog should release a vintage reissue somewhat like the way Gibson does.
They should start with discrete components which can only be replaced with the componenets found in the actual vintage counterparts found on ebay. At least two of the keys will be broken but the local repair shop can take care of this. The case will have various scratches and dings and smell like bar smoke.
Want MIDI? Lintronics will make a MIDI conversion kit. Want presets? Come on, who needs them anyway?
Oh, between the back panel and the circuit board you can find some funky substances and a cool 70’s style Moog iron on (Sweet!).
As for the manual, i’m sure one can be found in the far corners of the internet. It’ll be a PDF with poorly scanned images of the pages, or at least most of them.
Here’s the catch! The new Moog vintage reissues can only be purchased on ebay. The starting bid will be… lets say $3500. The reissue will appear to sell for $5000 ensuring that people know how much these things are worth.
What else am i forgeting?
BTW, this isn’t a poke at Moog or its products but a pull on some of the prices i’ve been seeing on ebay.
i don’t think it will the expander:
-supposed to come out in may
-“Until then, we will leave you guessing” we already know about the expander
“BIG” implies something really cool “little” could mean size or price (could mean “little” brother to the voyager)
think back to us all complaining for another delay, analog or digital,
we not only got 1 but 2!!
i think it will probably be something we’ve been asking for:
-cheap synth
-drum machine
-sequencer
there’s no way to tell but that doesn’t stop us from fighting over what it will be!
Not that it will make a difference but it might make waiting more bearable
While we’re all waiting to find out what Moog has in store for us, would having an additional Voyager oscillator to play with make the wait more bearable? We just posted an article on SquareWave that explains how to use the MF-102 Ring Modulator VCO as a fourth Voyager oscillator (yes, the VCO tracks the keyboard).
The article is called ‘Lord of the Ring (Modulator)’. It’s a PDF located in the Voyager FYI folder:
Files/Voyager FYI/Lord of the RingMod.pdf
Something cool to play with until the Music Messe announcement in late March!
I will only get exited if it’s a drum machine or sequencer. Maybe a vocoder, but I doubt that’s on the radar. If it’s another pedal, fooger, budget monosynth then I’m sure to spend my money on better needs.
I heard that it is the new Moog nail clipper set which will allow one to move fingers freely and evenly up and down the kybd, toggle swithches and adjust knobs without fear of scratching the face plate. :lol:
I’ve posted this before, but:
I just can’t imagine why anyone would want a drum machine or sequencer at ALL anymore, let alone one made by Moog… who is not and never was known for drum machines or sequencers.
With the advent of software sequencers and samplers, why on earth would anyone need a NEW drum machine? What exactly would Moog bring to a drum machine that hasn’t been brought by others for the past 25 years? The market for an analog-source drum machine, I think, would be too small to warrant production… and it would be too expensive for those who would probably be most interested in it!
And as for sequencer… unless you’re talking about an analog sequencer… which again only appeals to a very small crowd… what is Moog, known for a great filter and great analog devices… going to bring to a sequencer??
I think I’m in agreement with the people who want an affordable monosynth…
