New 'Fooger plz

Is anyone else still really hoping Moog will finally bridge the modular gap w/ a combo amp/eg/cv-midi converter box? does that maybe seem like too many features for one 'fooger in a cp-251 style casing? not enough interest? too expensive to produce? i'd probably buy two on the spot..

the 107 is awesome and sounds fantastic as a stand-alone oscillator, even if it doesn't scale 9 octaves and isn't temp controlled. who cares? It sounds better, than LP/Voyager oscs imo. 70s analog. three of em +other foogers and you've got a voyager of a different flavor.

let's take these lovely machines to the next step, Moog! use the different character of the 107 as a reason to push the modular angle w/in the moogerfooger line. please?

I agree, it would be awesome to collect self sufficient Moogerfoogers that could be chained into one big modular system.

I agree 100%. I am thinking seriously about getting the CP-251 and MF-101, plus eventually another MF-107. A CP-251 style dual EG Moogerfooger would be just the thing. Add these to my MF-107, 102, and 104 and I would have a serious killer table-top synth. Please do it, Moog Music! Come on Moogerfooger users, let's get the chant going!

interesting this comes up, I'm currently trying to find a way to play my foogers parameters with a keyboard... ie self ocilating MF-101 changing pitch based on keys on the board...

.....I'd really like a spring reverb

that would be pretty cool. modulating reverb parameters w/ cv sounds really exciting, too! not sure about if they could fit the neccesary spring box components into a fooger box, though.

What I would really make it is a CP-251-like box with a MIDI/CV converter and an envelope generator. That and a MIDI keyboard would transform the rest of the foogers into a rudimentary but playable modular synth. Which is why I suspect Moog hasn't released one.

you'd need the VCA (gating) too, but i don't think something like this would be completely out of the question for moog to build. honestly i'd like to see a unit w/ a cv-midi converter (a simple one), one VCA, and two envelopes. To save on space they could maybe do something similar to Future-Retro's XS design w/ a knob for the general env shape, and then two knobs to adjust A/D and then D/R.

seriously though, would this not just be awesome to have even w/o the 107?! plug the env output into your 101's cutoff in, and you have a proper filter envelope. i can only IMAGINE the hijinx w/ stuff like controlling the carrier osc on the 102, or really, just about anywhere, a ADSR is pretty useful. i can confirm this since w/ the sherman filterbank I was able to do the same thing we're talking about here. It's seriously fun, and the 107 osc sounds so. damn. good.

Right, we're on the same page. When I said EG I as really thinking of a VCA w/ADSR

that would be great too, a sort of "half sherman filterbank"!

I guess there's room enough, I've seen spring reverb much smaller than moogerfooger, for example among doepfer modules line

the rack part of it, certainly, but there's an external spring tank that you have to plug in to the rack unit, then afix the tank to the rack casing because its too long to actually be put in one of the spring reverb rack units, if i recall correctly. either way though, i wouldn't put it past moog to find a solution if it was an issue.
