Understood.
I would also be interested in a straight moog VCO module, maybe with FM, a built in lag, suboctave… I love the sound of the freqbox as a “straight” VCO but the other features are not so useful to me. Its not that I am not interested in extreme FM and sync fx - I am - but I have other VCOs (LIvewire, Plan B) which I find more convenient for that kind of thing

Yes, a bona fide Moog oscillator with a sub-octave would be excellent.
“Aside from whats already been said about the Voyager’s and Freqbox Oscs, the Freqbox manual says that its a descendant of the Voyagers oscillator and that it offers NO temperature controlled drift protection.”
Wonderful. A half-baked oscillator from 1968.
I wouldn’t say half-baked.. it’s been rock-steady for me, and honestly seems more vibrant and fat than my LP’s oscs. I like the drifting which is quite subtle. Mind you I haven’t like played it outside or anything, but it hasn’t given me any problems. The 107 is an excellent spare oscillator, I only wish moog would have produced the 107 sans stompbox (I wish the same thing about the other foogers, but whatev).
The stompbox format obviously implies that these devices are meant primarily for guitarists, rather than keyboardists. I much more prefer the design of the CP-251, which definitely looks like a synthesizer module. I wish all the Moogerfoogers had this design.

ahh crap, forgot i dropped my hosting a little while ago, gotta get those pics back up on something. will do soon.
I wondered where those went. Thanks for helping us out CTRLSHFT! That thread is one of my favorites. 
It’s back up! Glad you dig it, it’s been a dream o’ mine pretty since I got on this crazy Moog trip. Someday perhaps, someday… 
Very nice…I’d actually forgotten how beautiful those mock-ups were! 
I like the module formate of the CP251’s as well, but the thing I’ve really come to value about my moogerfoogers is that it’s really easy to pull one out of the rack, put a back on it, and take it to a gig. I ran my Prophet '08 through the phaser.. absolutely amazing!!
Then of course, after the gig, I come home, pop it back in the rack, and it’s back to being my modular system.. with a bypass switch on it no less!
the cp251 format is just as easy to pop-out for a gig, and takes up less space!
exelent idea
At this point, I 've watched what seems like countless videos of Moogerfoogers in use, in order to get a sense of the capabilities of each device. It seems clear that the Moogerfooger line was developed primarily with sound effects in mind, rather than musical tones and nuances. (Of course, the phaser and echo can be very musical, but I’m speaking in general. And besides, phase shifting and echo are not unique to synthesizer.) I realize that many synthesists are thrilled with this arrangement, and revel in producing complex noises and effects that fascinate, and admittedly have a certain mystique about them.
However, I’m from the other school of thought that looks upon the synthesizer as a musical instrument of almost incomprehensible potential. That view still allows for an appreciation of its sound effects potential, but it doesn’t over-emphasize it. As a result, I don’t find the present line of Moogerfoogers to be anything to get exited about. I’d like to buy a few more Moog devices to build up my Voyager Old School, but there really aren’t any that interest me (accept the phaser and echo). I did buy a CP-251 module, primarily to allow the simultaneous use of pulse width modulation and vibrato at different rates while all three oscilattors are being used, and it does the job very well. Everytime I hear it I think, “There’s just nothing like a Moog.”
The reason I first stated that the “ultimate Moogerfooger” would be a true and straight forward oscilattor is because of the view that the synthesizer is primarily a musical instrument, rather than a sound effects box. I would love to have the ability to add on one or several oscilattors identical to the Voyager’s second and third oscilattors, but that’s not presently possible. It seems ridiculous to me that Moog didn’t provide this possibility from the start, especially considering the renewed interest in modular synthesizers. And to speak of the Voyager or the Little Phatty as the basis for a modular, without offering additional oscilattors, is just a joke.
No other Moogerfooger could possibly be of more musical value to me than such a module. What’s it going to take to create a four or more oscilattor Voyager that’s Moog from top to bottom?
They aren’t going to make modulars exclusively because the market isn’t strong enough for it. the best thing we can hope for are alterations to the design to make them easier to put into a modular context. We definitely need a Moog mixer+vca+eg to really get the most out of it though.
Moog seems to be sticking with the monophonic market. That, in itself, is quite limiting. So, if they really want to dominate this corner of the synthesizier world, they had better produce something that’s extremely unique and powerful. Again, that could be an expandable multiple-oscilattor Voyager that excels all other monophonics.

go here and check out the dvco. two moog vcos can be used seperate or synced. all for under $500
i didn’t realize they were making those for so cheap, wow
Before you go out and order one, keep in mind that that is the 2007 price. I’m sure EricK can give you an up-to-date price, as he is building a modular through them. I think he said the prices increased 10% in 2008, but I could be wrong.
