....and we have WOOD!

Indeed, it looks like side panels. But, still.....Moog are a tricksy bunch.....

Lets see, here's what we know:
1) It has wood.
2) It glows.

I LIKE IT ALREADY!

can we safely rule out the follwing possibilities?

- novelty skis
- slices of german bread
- toy guns
- shark props for spielberg's "jaws"

I looks like a bunch of profiles of a synth.

It's gotta be the stripped down synth.

The big questions are...

Is a Digital/Analog hybrid?

Is it going to be cheap enough for people to not to b!tch about?

How about a micro mini duophonic
with a phrase sequencer and drum kits.
not unlike the new korg micro x or alesis micron.
but with vcos not dsps.

If it must be a boomerang, it might be a voltage controlled Digerido

Hmm, "boomerang", perhaps it has some kind of built in delay.

You might be on to something here! Except the other way around, a didgeridoo CV controller

...‘Brian will have the keyboard with him, yes’

Ok... a new synth. No suprise there.

A hybrid? All Analog? Is it going to be too expensive and everyone is going to be all pissy about it?

I'll be keeping my MMV regardless.

i was going to say that side panels of a synth might be too obvious but that whole
"brian will have keys...." etc seems to cement it solid
maybe they want us to that it's a synth
if so that means that the big surprise is still to come
maybe it's a preset synth!!
or it has an inbuilt calculator like the first casio

i think the fixed tilted panel seems definite as well, i think this implies at least a few knobs as you don't really need a tilted panel otherwise (of course it was going to lots of knobs it's a moog! i hope).

strange how the back slopes down, implies that it will look really funky IMO,
and that maybe it won't have a huge range of CV I/O. i don't know i might be wrong (hope i am) but I just can't imagine plugging lots of things into the back of a boomerang like that.

so we have wooden side panels like the foogers that's cool
wonder what colour it will be, probably black

hmm do you think that the words "taking shape" mean anything?

maybe it refers to the reprogamablity of the functions (those new crazy chips) you know taking lots of shapes?

comparison:

godzilla · Post by **godzilla** » Wed Mar 15, 2006 6:21 am

just had a thought

maybe all the multiple side panels represent polyphony!!

Indeed · Post by **Indeed** » Wed Mar 15, 2006 7:06 am

look, there are many 'sides'....

i thinks its gonna be a poly. either that or something
we haven't thought of. 2 much talk of a cheap mono...but it might be a reality if moog wants to broaden their market. i prolly won't get it unless it does something the voyager dont do. i used to think drum-synth, but i don't think they're gonna do it...Moog needs a poly in their line...strings & stuff...ribbon controller...

Perhaps its a Moog Phaser.
Afterall they already have been pioneering the Alien Technology for over 40 years.

Perhaps its a partial midi controller keyboard like the MicroKorg to compete with the Korg legacy softsynth/table unit.

A preset reissue Sattelite.Renamed orbiter
Makes sense .
Voyager =spacecraft =synthesizer

Sattelite Orbiter = spacecraft =synthesizer

Moog maybe sticking to the theme
