No Moog poly, so what to buy?

Well all that I have to say is that if they are going to do a polysynth, be prepared to put in preorders…so start saving!

Like I said, I just hope that the chassis will support a voyager or phatty on top. This would be perfect.

I’m sure Moog will eventually do a poly. How can they not when so many people are begging for one?

I just hope that it’ll do pads too.

Guess my guy at Sweetwater was wrong :angry:

I didn’t read the whole thread but for a new polyphonic moogish synth Studio Electronics Omega and Code polysynths seem like obvious choices.

Indeed I haven’t checked those out yet… SE stuff is hard to find in Canada.

!!! I’m starting to save money for this, this very second. POLY MOOG!

We can dare to dream…

I think Moog listens to their customers… and it’s so obvious that this is what their customers want and expect next from them… I personally don’t think it’s a “if” but a “when?”

Not to mention, any problems or issues that came with the polymoog and memorymoog, they’ve had over 20 years to of experiences with them.. Plus we have technology now that can provide better stability.

It’s 100% possible to do, and there is so much heat gathering for a poly Moog from Moog’s customer base, it just seems senseless to not give it a go.

i really love to see a polyphonic moog, espec 8 voyagers in one affordable package.
one thing however : i prefer moog not to go the alesis way: building a nice polysynth and going down on the effort.
so whatever might or might not come: i’m happy with moog already

Absolutely. I wouldn’t want them to lose their ability to turn a profit by taking such a huge chance.

Expect to pay 10k USD or more for a well-planned, well-executed polysynth from Moog…just saying… :sunglasses:

Here is a demo of the Nord Modular G2 poly synth.
I am by no means some who “creates beats.”
This is my take on rhythm. :sunglasses:

This is only the Nord G2 and a Korg Electribe ER-1.
Thanks for viewing!!!

Deep down I fear you’re correct.

If he is correct, a handful of them will be sold. But nothing near the success w the Little Phatty. I have more faith in Moog than this.

The more the price increases, the less people will buy it, anyway. Look at the Voyager. It’s not nearly as widespread as the Little Phatty, and I don’t see Moog cutting enough corners to get an 8 voice synth down to a level anywhere near the Voyager price-wise, and even if they DID, the DSI stuff will always be cheaper. Moog is and always has been about quality…quality sound, quality instruments, and yes, quality prices…but you get what you pay for…including awesome customer support and FREE software upgrades. :wink:

I don’t think they’ll go up to 10k Voltor. That would price practically their entire fan base right out of the market.

Maybe they’ll do a few poly versions. 3, 6, and 8 voice, each priced accordingly, 3k for the 3, 4k for the 6, 5k for the 8, or some such thing.

I only hope they’ll do a few models like the Voyager.
