Orbiter is the coolest name for a synth ever.

It does look like a gun... :lol:

IT looks mostly like a funky side panel for a funky synth. So maybe IT's not "just another" analog synth, but has some funky feature to IT? Most of which have already been discussed. So not just a "cheap monosynth," but something added in there to make IT special.

But instead of funky, should I say, "hip?" :wink:

Orbiter is a cool name, agreed...

Thanks martin
Thinking in evolutionary terms Orbiter seemed to be the next step from Voyager .Okay clue number one has smoke in the backround representing a lift off.
in the clue#2 all of the wood side panels look as if they are orbiting the blue ball in the center
hence my guess Orbiter.As an updated name for Sattelite.

speculation

Post by dylan » Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:34 am

i hope this puts to rest the keytar business, hard to imagine this as a keytar "silhouette" as some as have speculated. assuming it IS the side panel of a keyboard, the 'upper back' seems quite steeply sloped for inputs (CV, MIDI, Audio?) but the back of the base has a "screw/bolt/connector" at the far end suggesting that this area might not be only for support purposes, but might be the logical spot for ins/outs. Could the proposed "Orbiter" (that is catchy..) have a built-in sequencer and still fall in the "affordable" category so many of us are praying for? A sequencer synth with CV outs and/or ext LFO IN would sure work nicely with the moogerfooger line.

I still think it will be along the lines of the Future Retro Revolution.

I'll be keeping my MMV regardless.
Price is hovering around the $1000-1300 to compete with the DSI mono I believe. But I have no plans to let go of my voyager either

Maybe the new synth (if that's what it is) has a fixed-panel knob section unlike the minimoogs. I'm guessing that the new synthesizer is a smaller monophonic one like the micromoog.

The Mini Model B had a fixed panel. Maybe it is designed like that?

I hope it a sequencer along the lines of the Arp 1613.

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.
I wonder about that too. The curve on what appears to be the back seems a bit deep to put a lot of I/O jacks in. Unless it is filled in in some way, and the back of the case makes a kind of dark "C" shape in the gap.

I think the actual metal case will be square, and just the wood will be curved. Kind of like the sidepanel of the MPC2500.

Hey Reptar, good to see you around these parts. Are you going Moog?

Depends on how this will stack up against the MEK. I'll be kind of tempted seeing as I already have the tabletop evolver, so it would be nice to have both.
