NAMM 2013: Next From Moog

:smiley:

cant wait to see the finished product!

Looks pretty promising! One knob per function is always a good thing IMO!

MULTIDRIVE filter sounds AWESOME ~ please MOOG build us a serious analog VOCODER ~ and whatever new instruments you make, please please please give us plenty mucho multi multi MULTI +/- CV ins and OUTS :slight_smile:

Looks like Moog are stepping in old footprints (sounds like my old Rogue!) probably no memories, with MIDI
twin oscillators with overdrive (as Moog used to call it) If its back to basics - my predictions for a standard Minimoog D (with seperate LFO) just might come true!

well, looks like no poly this time either. hopefully this new instrument will be on par with other successful Moog synths. Seems kind of like a memoryless mini-voyager with knob-per-function, updated overdrive circuit, new oscillator design, sub oscillator, and noise generator. Did anyone notice how the housing for the mod wheel and pitch bend is identical to the one on the LP?

Also, I hope they come up with a nice name for it. Little Phatty was bad enough… Slim Phatty, oh man. :laughing:

My guesses: “Mini Voyager,” “Centaur.”

In the end, all that matters is the music you make with it anyway. :mrgreen:

Looks like Moog’s answer to the Minibrute - one knob per function, no presets, sub oscillator, drive, etc.

Since i see the output cables at the right side of the keyboard, to me is like a Mini-LP. A perfect complement to the minitaur. If it’s US$700-850 street price, then is ok to me.

I could only wish that this new little moog would be half as versatile as a 40 year old EML Electro-Comp 101. Like the ability to re-route the signal path, duo-phonic, accept an external sound source, a ring mod. Even a built in case would be sweet. Guess I’ll have to adopt a wait and see attitude and see what this new little guy has to offer.

Can anyone enhance photos?

This may very well be spot on if you compare it to the video.

I wonder… Midi? If so, I’ll sell my Minibrute right now for one of these…

I see Arturia losing a lot of business to this thing… :smiley:

Maybe. Hard to imagine Moog throwing a cheap synth together that would be cheaper than a minitaur.

Nice job, EricK. :mrgreen: Did you do that on your computer? Hell, how do you design something like that in software?

BTW, I predict the pricepoint will be $899.

I just think it’s cool to see Herb demo the thing :smiley: You can see the passion he has for analogue :smiley: So cool :smiley:

Does the name on the right say “Moog Multidrive”? Coincidence? Damn.

I didn’t do that rendering. It was already posted on this forum, linked to another forum. Yeah it does say Multidrive Moog. Looking at the video, it looks like the PCB reads that the lower envelope row was VCF and on this it it is reversed.

THat picture was also not the one I pasted. It switched angles.

There’s one thing that is different and that is two knobs in the top are which in this image are called shape dest and waveform. On the Herb video those are switches and not knobs. Also if you consider the layout of i.e. the Voyager Rack, the oscillators are actually aligned vertically and not horizontally. Fwiw. :slight_smile:

I’m looking forwad to seeing a final design and specs, hopefully at NAMM.
