Whats Next?

So... Now we have a Little Phatty "budget" monophonic... a "high end" Voyager monophonic... a Freqbox oscillator standalone... What do you think is Moog's next logical product release?

I think the next logical step is an new CP box. With an envelope generator or two, maybe a dedicated VCA and whatever else they can squeeze on there (sequencer maybe?). That would truly tie all the moogerfoogers together.
I know what I want...

I really want a Voyager that has the Little Phatty LED knobs... That'd be sweet as hell!

What about the missing MF-106??? Pitch to CV perhaps?
I would love a Moog CV/Analog drum machine.
A CV sequencer for your Voyager/Phatty/Moogerfoogers.
How about both in one?

All great suggestions, Sir.

How about a MoogerFooger CV keyboard which has a tracking circuit that allows you to daisy-chain FreqBoxes for polyphony? ; )

Yeah but the MF-107 isn't even monophonic...

How about a small mixer, maybe with a footswitch to select channel setups?
Then people with a bunch of MF's can mix them in a parallel fashion and choose channels with their foot.
No bells n whistles, vcas or MIDI.
Just a MF style little mixer.

If the rumours of it being able to be used as a CV controlled stand-alone oscillator are true, it is monophonic!sir_dss wrote:Yeah but the MF-107 isn't even monophonic...
A keyboard with simple tracking function which directs keys depressed to multiple CV outputs would make them polyphonic. It could also have inputs so that all of the returning signals could be mixed down to a single output.
I suppose a number of outputs and inputs could be provided so that each note could have its own synthesizer signal chain, or all notes could be directed through a single filter, etc.
Basically, I guess I'm just advocating for a keyboard controller to work with a MoogerFooger set up, now that an oscillator has been added! It could even be inexpensive, as the only electronics it would really need would be the tracking stuff! Of course, it probably wouldn't be inexpensive because they'd probably hang a few bells-and-whistles upon it, but still. : )
It would be a good idea for them, as they would then satisfy those of us crying out for a polyphonic... and it would be profitable for them as we would have to buy at least three FreqBoxes to get a decent amount of polyphony... (meaning, of course, that a Moog polyphonic would NOT be inexpensive...)
They still need to put out an Envelope MoogerFooger, though.

it would be like a funny-looking modular synth system. cool!
maybe they could make a rackofooger rack range that would allow for modular systems of different sizes.

If you have the money, you CAN have a new polyphonic Moog with this:

Its going to get pretty expensive, though.

Well, that is definitely along the lines of what I was thinking. I would have to overcome my extremely biased anti-MIDI stance, though. Which, I suppose is fair... as what I'm proposing would require digital aspects...OysterRock wrote:If you have the money, you CAN have a new polyphonic Moog with this:

It would be cool to have a small keyboard with the name Moog on it that did it, though. : )
Oh, come on, Oyster Rock... it wouldn't get that expensive! Let's see, it would just be $350 for each oscillator... about $200 (used) for each filter... and um.. oh. Well, still. ; )

umm...you ever try tuning several standalone vcos with a wide range pot and no fine tuning controls?

I think maybe he's saying (if you'll allow me Kevin) that not only would it be difficult, but that it wouldn't work well enough to be useful.museslave wrote:If I were in analog for convenience, I wouldn't be in analog for long. ; )Kevin Lightner wrote:umm...you ever try tuning several standalone vcos with a wide range pot and no fine tuning controls?
I would think that not only would there be a need for fine tuning, but also it would be neccesary to have keyboard range and span control. This would effectively make more than 1 MF107 (let alone 4 or 6) impossible to coordinate together to a keyboard.
Which isn't to say you couldn't try (I'm sure people will). You could just use the Voyager or LP for a poly-controller and VCA.
