We did that in my previous band, Pink Voyd. (My current band is Pink Droyd).

That's my Nord Modular synth on the hood of the truck.

Hi Dan,

great picture! It reminds me that we also have a gong. Hmm, it is much smaller than yours, almost the size of a "dinner is ready gong" or as we know in germany the size of a Robert Lembke gong (welches Schweinderl haettens denn gerne?) he used in his TV show to give the audience a chance to close their eyes for not see the description of the show guests profession to guess.
Anyway your picture is an incentive for me and the other crew members. And I try to top this by getting the permission to use the runway of the special airfield in Oberpfaffenhofen which is close to my home. And I'll try to arrange another test flight of an A380 which should be shown behind.
By the way, I've listened recently the Tromboneliness CD from Albert Mangelsdorff. I think this brings me back to reality with comparing my abilities...

Moog Marketing strategy contained in the circuitry.

THe beauty of Moog products is that the marketing strategy is built right into the device. I can’t think of to many other products that actually enhance each other when you buy multiple units of it. If you buy Nike shoes from one of the many spammers that try to sell them here, buying another pair of shoes won’t enhance the first pair you have. If you buy a regular effects unit, it will only further distort your audio signal, but they don’t make any of the original effects that much more useful.

Moogerfoogers lend themselves to infinite expansion.

I have addressed he topic of redundancy many times. Why would one need a second cp251? Why would someone need a second (or in my case a 6th Moog Low Pass filter)? THe answer is that they enhance eachother.

It gores without saying that you might want to have a ringmod for your electric piano and one for your synth and maybe one for your guitar, and being able to use them t the same time. It didn’t occur to me why anyone would need a second 104 delay until I was running a complicated patch with the Voyager and the 103 in the effects loop, trying to record my theremin would have benefitted greatly from a second delay.

Chris S has a fairly easy marketing job because all of the work is in the engineering of the units. If you think your suystem is complete when you have all 6 foogers, dont forget about the other stereo channel.

Not to just plug Moog, but I can literally see having a set of Foogers for each instrument I own. They are wonderful like that.

Just jesting, I knew what they were. Just hadn't seen them from that perspective...

I feel myself in a dangerous tendency to become addicted in purchasing Moog products. I already have some Moggerfoogers and maybe a LP in sight too for the next future. In fact I'm already infected. But I feel good and as Adrian Below mentioned as a conclusion in Indiscipline: I like it!
And I like to get an omnipotence in the cosmos of sound. Power - a magic word and meaning. I don't know the factors of this e-function to get more and more to reach a final status, but obviously it will last for a longer time until I'm getting saturated I assume.
Hmm, too much dark philosophical thoughts. I better should anticipate the light and easy south bavarian life style and should enjoy the present time. And my beloved Voyager and the other components will help me sufficiantly.

Well my symptoms from the Moog bug are waning. I feel like Ive got a nice system and unless Moog releases some new Foogers, I think Im content.
