When I found out that MOOG was introducing a tabletop/rackmount version of the LP (a.k.a SP) I was praying that Moog would include a way to connect the SP to the LP so to increase the polyphony to at least 2-notes. But, after reading the SP specs, I was sickin' to find out that there was no way to PolyChain the synths together. Yes, I know... Polychaining is idea of competitor synth- design DAve Smith. So why would Moog follow suit in implementing such a powerful feature??
Several months ago I suggested to Moog that they develop a LP rackmount Modular "Brain" similar to Yamaha's 80's modular TX816 brain (i.e. 8 DX-7's in a rack). The LP Brain would work exclusively with the LP via the Polychain connection. The LP Brain would include say up to 7 slots which would allow the end-user to add LP Modules as desired. The LP Brain would be "knobless" thus only programable via LP keyboard. Furthermore,each of the LP Module could be independently isolated and assigned a Rx MIDI channel for Multichannel operation for sequencing.
A fully loaded LP Brain + LP keyboard would create a massive 16 Oscilator, 8-voice polypohonic analog synth!!
