What type of Moogerfooger should Moog make next?

Im not a huge user/fan of MIDI so I could do without that but it would be nice.

I coudl even do with a Spacing and resonance in, or a gate input for the MODE, if you wanted to get wicked with it. That would surely add to the cost.

I would hope that the waveshape is continuously variable.

Put all those inputs on the top of the unit would be nice, because the front already looks very nice and vintage, but Id personally prefer a front access interface.

The demos of the software version of this actually sound awesome. If they built this they would certianly null and void the reasons to buy the software version lololololololololol.

I could live without the MIDI, but I figure it'd be easy to implement it, and would probably attract more people to it that way. The one thing about the I/O is that if they put it on the top (desktop format) they'd also need to design it in a way to make it so you could move them all to the back (rackmount format). otherwise you'd have to sacrifice several rack spaces above the unit in order to use it. Seems it'd be alot easier to keep it all on the front panel, they could make it tidy. +1 on the Moog Logos

From the replies on this thread, I suspect there are 2 types of Fooger buyers. There's the analog synth guys who see the modular elements in them, and there's the stomp box people who can see the beneift of adding analog synth modules to their setup. Personally I'm a synth guy but the Foogers are too stomp box to be fully useful to me.

I'd like to see a completely modular expansion box. Much bigger than a Fooger. Use it to expand a Voyager, or provide the Fooger elements as completely modular parts. I imagine a vco or 2, VCF, env, rm, phaser, spring reverb, delay. And rows of 1/4 sockets to patch them together. I think a small tribute to Moog modulars of the past would be extremely cool. Possibly rack mount and about 8U high.

But there's enough small stomp boxes with wooden ends. I think it starts to look rediculous when you have more than 3.

Cheers,
B

I keep my 'foogers in a bypass looper, so I don't care about a stomp switch--- if something like what is described above was made and works at instrument level and provides added functionality over the 'fooger stompbox enclosures, then I'm all for it!! As long as there is still a nod to bass/guitar players, ie Hard Synched VCO's!

If it was all one unit, and the inputs and outputs came out the front and there was almost no normalled cables, then yes. The functions of the modules are great, its just the form factor of lots of boxes and sockets just where you can't easily access them.

Actually CTRLSHIFT, your rack edition is just about perfect. I'm ordering one of those!

Tell me when they be come available, lol.

Seriously though, I made those mockups because I truly think they could get sales for Moog. I realize though that it would probably require more work and R&D than may be worth it for Moog to pursue as opposed to just keeping with the pedal format. Time will tell I guess, although if you look at the date for that post, it's been a while already.

I didn't realize how much space the Foogers take up until I started looking at Eurorack modules and comparing them to the Moog style modules. Now the Foogers take up a buttload of space in a rack.

Tabletop if you have 1 or two on either side of a voyager is great, and I always love the Wood, but get all 6 (or 2 of each like some people we know lolol) and thats A LOT of space for doing only that.

Some people think the Moog style modules are a waste of valuable rack/floor space.

Reproduce the Moog Parametric EQ / Polymoog resonator!

Another one of those things that sell for too much...

i really need a good high pass

I think that a touchscreen Moogerfooger is in order for RME/OS owners prticularly, so they can have the coolest feature of the performer edition voyagers.

It would be similar to the Kaoss pad except it would be strictly CV.

I would buy a touch pad CV controller.
Of coarse it would need a GATE out.

I would also like it to have the XYA outputs and inverted outputs for each.
So a touch pad with 8 analog outputs on the back.

A "lock" push button as well please.

I "kind of" want a Korg KP3.

Aha! I had suggested an oscillator ("The Ultimate Moogerfooger"), and everybody disagreed with me. But now oscillator is in second place.
