Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
The only reference I have seen is a youtube comment saying there would be a production run of 2000. Any idea?
Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
Why should they limit the run, if there are enough buyers for one?
Some of the products were limited due to limited available old stock of parts.

I don't really have an opinion on if they should or shouldn't. It's a somewhat divisive product, and personally I was surprised to see the comment. It seemed to indicate that maybe it was not selling well, or maybe even that there is an intentional limited run as to keep "hype" elevated for the brand within the long term vision of the company. Just made me curious as to what the secondary market for one will look like in 5/10/20/50 years etc. All from a stupid youtube comment I know, but still curious.

Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
Considering how many years they put into its design, I'd image they'd sell them as long as people keep buying them. It seems that generally they do a limited run with something when they are rebuilding classic models but have a limited number of the old parts available. Otherwise, they seem to keep things in production until they have another product that fills a similar space in the works.

Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
In one of the Moog One System Architecture videos, Amos says that nothing in the Moog One is "unobaintium", that Moog engineers looked ahead to make sure that the long-term availability of the parts is very good. Indicates to me that Moog expects to support the Moog One (or its architecture, at least) for a long time. Pouring years of R&D into a massive, complex poly synth is a huge commitment and Moog will want a positive return on that investment.

The production run has hit 3,000 to date so far. Pretty amazing when you think about it for such an expensive unit!

Thomann ranks the Moog One 8 and 16 as numbers 40 and 42 respectively in their synth sales charts. The Subsequent 37 is at 37. That looks like very healthy sales figures to me, considering they are ahead of the Korg MS-20 Mini, for example.

In their synth sales charts, Thomann lists the Moog One 8 and 16 at positions 40 and 42, respectively. At 37 is the Subsequent 37. In my opinion, those are pretty healthy sales numbers, especially because they outsell products like the Korg MS-20 Mini. retro bowl college
Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
My Moog One 16 serial number is just under 1603000 and it was made Aug 2023. The 16 in the number means a 16 voice. I am guessing that by now that means there are about 3100 16 voice Moog Ones today, accounting for sales since I bought mine.
I assume the 3000th Moog One referred to in the Synthtopia article refers to 8 and 16 voice production total. The pictures linked at MatrixSynth below show the 3000th Moog One was serial number 1602153 (or close to that - can’t make out last digit from the picture) with a date of Aug 28, 2020. It too is a 16 voice but only the 2153rd 16 voice made I assume.
https://www.matrixsynth.com/2020/09/moo ... -3000.html
Doing a little guesstimating, that means about 72% of them were 16 voice models by that time. If that percentage continues to today, I guesstimate there are about 4100 Moog Ones total today (8 and 16 voice). So maybe 3100 16 voice and 1000 8 voice give or take.

Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
I emailed the factory to inquire whether the Moog One 16 was still in production and what the future for this synth was. This is the happy news I received:
Hi Rick,
We are currently producing Moog One and producing a new firmware, this is still an active instrument!

Re: Has Moog indicated how many Moog One's will be produced?
3000 units,. If our assumptions are valid, that is a fair amount and should cover the development and maintenance cost eventually. When I bought my MoogOne, a business insider that I will not name here estimated the development cost of the MoogOne was close to 5.000.000 USD, almost ruining Moog Inc.
However, and a new firmware? That's like X-Mas.

They passed 3,000 units on Sept 5, 2020.
Almost 4 years ago. They’ve sold a few more since then, including mine (March 2022)
