Moogatory continues
Moogatory continues
It has been over 2 weeks since my dealer ordered a Voyager RME and still no sign of it. I'm not here to complain. I was told it would be about 2 weeks so I knew to expect that. Now that I'm past that point, I'm growing more impatient. What symptoms should I expect with each passing day without the Voyager? I'm guessing that first will be the headaches. Then will be the dreams with varying incarnations of Moogs taunting me. Come to think of it, the dreams have already started. Oh no. Doc? Anyone?
If the Doc you refer to is Dr. Robert Moog, you missed him.

Moog Diagnostic Statistical Manual
Entry: Moog Purgatory
The mental state of being in a perpetual waiting period for a Moog. Symptoms manifest upon order comfirmation, and consist of constant checking of the tracking number coupled with sporadic periods of elation and elevated euphoria. Full onset of acute symptomatic anxiety and restlessness manifests from the point in which the the tracking number shows the product is "Out For Delivery" to the time period just prior to relinquiching ones signature to the delivery person. At this point prior to the actual delivery, symptoms include excessive gazing out of the window and impulsive front door opening.
Symptoms begin their decline from the arrival of the delivery truck and full transition to Moog Heaven begins immediately after the subject relinquishes their signature.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yours is probably a delusional Moog Purgatoryosis brought on by the illuision of owning a Moog product. This is a rare thing, having mirrored symptoms of early onset Purgatory, but when a physical transaction never materializes it leaves the client in a state of anxiety and depression and bouts of acute anger coupled with a sence of abandonment.
Further research is needed. (Means ill have to think of something.)

Thanks Doc
Thanks for your accurate diagnosis EricK. I guess my post was an attempt at therapy. I know that I'm probably not too far from the time that I will be wrapped up for hours at a time exploring my Voyager's sonic potential. That doesn't make the wait any easier. I have been through this experience with other synths over the years, but this being my first Moog makes this paricular time more intense. I also know I won't be "let down" as I have been on occasion, because a synth didn't quite live up to expectations. Adding to the "fun" is the fact that I have to drive an hour to pick it up and drive an hour back from the dealer before I can start checking it out. Potential speeding and road rage issues will have to be subdued on my trip. Okay, time to think of other things for a few hours before my daily call to find out the Voyager has not arrived yet.
