Moog modular Poll.........

[EricK]

One thing that I really respect about Moog is that they stick to their roots. A lot of companies that are major corporations that have undergone management changes over the years often lose sight of just how they got started.

Roland is an example of this. Even though their products are great, they are notorious for certian business practices such as selling a brand new item for half of what you just paid for their current one. (Like the RD line of pianos)

I think that the club of Moogers is an elite one. Those who are in the know are comparitively small compared to the number of musicians out there. Not a huge number of people use Moog gear or know about the sound. THat leaves the rest of us with an intimate connection with the company/products and an acessibillity to its staff that is practically unrivaled.

I don't know what brought me to the Moog and I honestly don't know why I have this romantisized view of it, but theres one thing that is for sure; Dr. Moog cared about his clients' ideas and thats why there are features that are standard on just about every synth that you can buy to this day.

I will always be thankful for the contributions that Dr Moog made, the ideas that he had that play a direct role in my inspiration as an artist.

Respectfully,
Eric

I voted to stick with the Moogers.

One little upgrade I would like to see is a jack for a remote on/off switch for the effect.

As far as future products, I'd love to see a Moog pitch>CV product so I can control my Voyager via guitar. And after that I suppose resurrecting the 960 Sequencer and the "helper" modules that go with it as an all-in-one-package would be really sweet.

I can tell you exactly why I went with Moog: I can't afford a Corvette or a girlfriend in an apartment.
