I’m chomping at the bit to get a stage edition and don’t know if I can wait for reviews on the forum…does anyone think there are going to be any issues with the Stage, or is it going to be a safe new product?
Other than asthetics, the Stage edition is simply a cheaper way into a free bug-fix from Moog than the Tribute 
It should be rock-solid with few minor if any issues at all & chock full of new features!
I have the Tribute & must say I’m checking many times/day for the new software… I’m about ready to start throwing $20s at Moog to release!
First beta of the Tribute OS 1.03 just got compiled… I am testing it now.
I expect we will have it ready to roll in a week or two. Thanks for your patience! 
As for the Stage edition, it does indeed take advantage of the extra development time we have had since the Tribute, and should be sound and solid. We just shipped the first run to GC, so they should be starting to come available very soon…
Curious, how is the Tribute OS upgrade any different than will ship with the Stage? If the hardware is the same, I’d suspect the Stage would ship with 1.03 as will be made available soon for the Tribute. Maybe since 1.02d is stable, it stands to reason with production schedules that the Stage will ship with it & 1.03 will simply be made available to both editions once finalized.
The guts in both SE & TE ARE the same aren’t they Amos? Are there ANY differences?
Tks for steppin’ up with the info btw.
I’d still like to know whether the Stage presets will be made available to us Tributes, if you please!
Stage Edition will be my first ever Analog Synth. I´m very excetied about. I pre order one of the first two that comes to Argentina. I always want a moog synth but i can´t afford a Vogayer. With the Gear Wire video of SE simply i felt in love !.
