Lunar Minitaur.. where?

Post by nms » Wed Nov 14, 2012 6:51 am

Did they make it to market? Was it just a short run? I can't find pics of them anywhere.

I was wondering the same thing. Moog posted some photos of lunar slim phatties as well. Have seen neither hide nor hair of them since!

Novamusik probably knows....they are the only dealer that featured the lunar products (as far as I am aware anyway), one might want to try there.

It would be neat to have an all Lunar Moog system.

Did they ever make a lunar T3?

No, but that would be cool.
I never did get a chance to try out the T3 pedals while they were in production. Maybe I'll get a chance one day.

Were they even doing lunar Voyagers when the T3's were proposed? That would be very interesting as well, especially with white pedal caps!

It's quite interesting that now even the Voyager XL has a Lunar livery option (for an extra $200)..

Also now available is the Slim Phatty White Wood Kit, and all of the Moogerfoogers (including the latest models - MF104M & MF108M), all for various extra costs.

These lunar Moogs have a sleek look that reminds me of Oberheim synthesizers. Still, I think I actually prefer the classic Moog Black/Timber versions, personally.

I'm a bit disappointed I haven't seen any lunar stuff with normal wood sides. Maple, mahogany, etc would also look sharp as hell!

Good point! You could get that look with the new lunar slim phatty with the standard wood kit, or perhaps swapping wooden cheeks from a standard Moogerfooger on to a lunar version. Although both of these options wouldn't give you a choice of wood type like the voyager select series, and the latter would require either trading with someone willing or owning multiple foogers of different finishes!

I'm no the analog phophet or anything, but I think the Lunar options are going to be standard offerings at multiple dealers, not just Nova.

I think the Lunar Impact series Voyagers are a Nova Musik exclusive. On the Moog website, these are merely differentiated as a white finish. I think the difference is maybe that the lunar Voyager's had a different serial number tag but I'm not sure about the Moogerfoogers.
