just logged onto moog home page ..
wait and listen logo came up with new at namm wording,
then i see there is new at namm section under the moogerfooger tab menu
SO!
Sounds to me like an oscillator moogerfooger/guitarsynth from the track thats looping
what dya reckon???
Very exciting!!
does this just loop infinitely?
Sweet.
This is the most exciting NAMM for me in a while. The Rhodes mk 7 is revealed, too!
Well, if I can have one for US$0.00, I’ll take one!!
A Moog guitar synth. It sounds like you need a few spare hands, though.
From the dynamics it does appear to be that… I want a polyphonic synth though 
theres a big void in my setup that needs a poly synth… gahhh… we need a poly synth petition

How about a Voyager RME X16
I wonder if the Rhodes will be an analog or a digital?
Not sure. The specifications on the website are very ambiguous and the list repeats several things. It apparently features “Mark 7 technology” and “Modular format”, whatever that means. 
It would seem pretty ridiculous and foolish to release a digital Rhodes considering there are already tons of digital Rhodes emulations out there. If it is digital, I might throw up in my mouth just a little bit.
Let’s pray its electromechanical…but USB? Pitch Bend? Uhhhhhh…I guess we’ll have to see!
Not sure what the new Moog device is, but I love how this sounds - unpredictable, lots of motion. The example is probably multi-tracked, so maybe it’s a mono pitch-tracker. I’m in for sure.
Re: the Mark 7 Rhodes - yes it says electro-mechanical, and as it makes no sense to compete with some of the sample libraries and Lounge Lizard emulations on the digital level, it can only be a true Rhodes.
Modular in that you can get a passive instrument like the original and upgrade to active (preamp and EQ I would guess), or MIDI (USB and LCD screen).
2007 is a bad year not to have extra money.
Where does it say electromechanical? I can’t find it anywhere.
I must be assured or I won’t be able to sleep tonight! 
i apologize for hijacking this thread. Back on subject…
Sounds like an oscillator/p-to-cv/freakin-awsomeness device to me. Can’t wait, I better start saving $$$ now.
And to think… I get to be there @ the unveiling 
Muahahahahahaha
I can’t wait!!! (or sleep for that matter)
I can assure you 100% that it is electromechanical. A totally authentic rhodes with tines and hammers!
Further to reinforce this,Rhodes are currently asking techs to get on board as factory authorised service techs. You dont need service techs for sample based boards.
Also. the modular bit refers to the fact that each part can be replaced individually like the tines, tone bars, hammers, keys etc etc.
Its an evolution of the mk V piano. Theres no way that rhodes would release a sample based instrument.
One of the most exiting product launches for years.
It’ll be interesting to see the price. These days, anything that is actually made of wood and metal and whatever else INSTEAD of PCBs is treated like it is impossibly expensive to make. (you know, like analog… “Oh, my GOD… Analog devices are SO EXPENSIVE TO MAKE! They actually have PARTS that must be ASSEMBLED… often by a PERSON!!! Do you KNOW how much such an insane idea would COST? It’s unheard of (well, except for 25 years ago, when everyone did it… but let’s not talk about that) Wouldn’t you just be more happy with a list of numbers to make your computer make noises?”
I have a feeling it ain’t going to be cheap. Hopefully that won’t be its undoing. There are a LOT of cheap Rhodes’ out there and many people aren’t going to pay a couple thousand for something similar you can get for a few hundred. Hopefully (and it sounds like it might) it will bring a lot of new things to the table that seperate it from the vintage Rhodes.
I on the other hand might be persuaded to throw down quite a bit of money for a BRAND NEW Rhodes.
Can you put the url in this post??. I can´t find the post under moogerfooger tab.
Thankz a lot
Its the first tab down in the moogerfooger menu
This is really intrigueing, isn’t it?
It doesn’t sound like a Pitch to Voltage synth to me though. It sounds like a multi-tracked recording with a Bass guitar slapping, and a electric guitar lead line. Neither guitar sounds to me like it has an oscillator following or doubling it. It sounds like sort of random (but maybe at least in the same key) synth tones firing off and blurbling (in the right timing) in the background.
I’m guessing it’s a kind of synth/sequencer that will respond to the key and tempo of the guitar signal that is input—So that you can play a guitar/bass line and the sequence you have pre-programmed(hopefully with knobs or sliders) will sync up to your playing tempo and root key.
I’m hearing frequency modulated and possibly osc synced synth tones/oscillators, so perhaps there are 2 VCOs on board as well as the sequencer
I would guess that you can externalize these oscillators and feed them into your MF101.
This is my guess.
When is NAMM anyway? When do we find out?
NAMM is January 18-21. The 18th is next Thursday, so we’ve only got to wait another week to find out.
i love it how they tease us like this!
i think i’m happy enough with my LP to not go completely insane right now and sell everything i own (except my moog gear) in anticipation.
but who knows, that could change on thurs
exciting stuff, i didn’t think they’d release something so soon after the LP
maybe this is the “as yet unreleased goodie” that we got wind of a while ago
can’t wait!
edit: just read the interview with Amos, anyone else read it? has some cool comments about the new product that almost but not quite lead you to believe that it will be a guitar synth. really looking forward to it after the answer to the last question!!
Sounds like it could be something as simple as a Moogerfooger Flanger, but I don’t think there would be this much secrecy over something that simple. The problem with the audio sample is that we don’t know just what part of it is being affected by the new device.
