Moog One ?

Post by thealien666 » Wed Jun 27, 2018 11:42 am

Could it be true ? Could Moog Music actually be working on a polyphonic Moog project ?
I doubt it very much, but part of me is still hopeful...

Filter
• Stave variable filter AND Moog Ladder Filter

Stave Variable Filter driven by a Thermal Nuclear Oscillator ... Now this was probably a typo and writer meant State Variable Filter

Here is what a guy in the Moog Grandmother thread on Geaslutz says he was told by Moog it would be.

It's polyphonic, and comes in 8- and 16-voice versions. (Moog has not only set us up as the earliest dealer with stock (around mid-August), but we'll have an exclusive until they launch with other retailers in September. And they've also promised us a number of low-serial-number units (2-10) on each unit, though this does run an extra $500 (and also gets you a letter from Mike Adams, and a signed photo by the techs who built it). Sounds incredible, and check this out!

• 3 VCOs per voice
• 3 part multitimbral - 3 synths in 1
• Knob per function
• 4 LFOs per synth with easily assignable modulation
• Arp and sequencer (per synth)
• Clock sync
• Assignable CV ins and outs
• Lots of i/o for routing synths and effects
• Eventide reverbs built in
• Unrestricted number of presets

Oscillators
create complex waveforms

Noise
• Dedicated envelope for transient shaping

Filter
• Stave variable filter AND Moog Ladder Filter
• HP, LP, BP or notch
• link filters together for ganged sweeps
• assign sources to SVF ladder or both in the mixer

Envelope
• 3 envelopes (amp, filter, and assignable)
• easily assignable mod matrix

Sequencer and Arp

Effects
• True bypass effects
• effects per synth and a master effects bus
• 2 assignable macro controls - customizable per patch
• Vocoder
Modulation
• Easily repeatable mod mattrix routings
• 4 LFOs - 1 button destination routing
• Fine tune and ccreate complex modulation via transforms
• Easy assign performance controllers
• XY pad for expressive control

A partnership between Moog Music and Eventide for the effects section on this thing ? And available as soon as mid-august/early september ?
It might be more what someone was dreaming about last night than actual fact.

I've learned not to believe all the wishful thinking happening over the years about a new polyphonic Moog. :roll:

Ok so Moog had Two NAMM's, SW Gearfest, Moogfest, and the European shows to announce this and yet in all that Marketing wisdom they chose a sales rep from Sweetwater, priceless!!!

And to think i could have save 15% or more if I new him :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is my next Geico Sweetwater commercial

All I know is that if Moog does come out with a polymoog I am safe because I only play bass and dont need polyphony. Thank goodness because I dont have unlimited money but I have 5 Moogs already and dont think I will be able to pass on the grandmother either...

It might just be more than mere speculation, ladies and gentlemen:

These of course seem to be the front panel control boards, the actual analog circuitry boards aren't showing, yet...

It may be a monophonic synth for all we know until official announcement. If it is poly... well, then that would be pretty awesome for Moog!

Then the question is do I wait until revision 2 to purchase or jump on the grenade now? :)

Ok, so why would Moog allow theses pics of boards out there on that site? Why share them on that site instead of in here among the faithful, i don't get it. I do find the buttons interesting "ALL Synths" "Chords" "Mono" "Unison"

Have you considered that it could have been leaked ?
BTW, those pics (assembled into one) date back to june of 2017 (probably soon after the start of the polyphonic synth project, if there was ever one).
So I can only assume that one year later, the project might be on the verge of being completed ? And the estimated mid-august, early september shipping date might be plausible ?

But then again, it might be a case of an exceptionnaly well done photoshop job ?
Of course, nobody from Moog Music will come here and confirm or deny anything, as usual...

The price also looked weird ... 7,000 for 8 voice, and then only a couple thousand more for 16. Come on, why not 15,000.

I heard from a guy who knows a guy that MOOG is coming out with a poly synth, except it's not called MOOG ONE it's called The MOOG GRANDPAPPY.
