It confuses me going through menus. Surely I'm not the only one?

I feel like there are hidden features!!

UPUPDOWNDOWNLEFTRIGHTLEFTRIGHT BA Start! 30 extra presets!

I think the Voyager's menus are much easier to navigate around than my Q rack or XT.

Yes but why settle for the DSI sound (which ain't bad at all) when you can have "THE MOOG SOUND"?

I guess that I am one of those Moog elitists that love everything Moog. Sorry!

Also, as I understand the signal path of the Evolver, at some point everything analog becomes digitized, and so the output ultimately has to go through a D/A before it is sound... it's not purely analog...

LOL! CONTRA!!!!!! These old fogeys here won't get that.

Oh, come on... isn't that based upon a process first demonstrated in Super Nintendo (which, in game system terms is nearly jurassic in age??)... or even older?
This fogey got it. ; )

moog should make a voltage contol device in the shape of a super nintendo controller!

Hell No!! I'de much rather have a Moog thumb than a Nintendo thumb.

ahhhhh 22 days to go

ha now it's only 21

that's only 3 weeks!!!!!!

The first 'clue' looks remarkably like a V-Pot. Maybe the new machine will be some form analogue/digital hybrid, or even some form of control device? Eagerly awaiting the next clue...

Oh God, now they are toying with us by throwing out clues.

Hey, just adds to the fun, eh?

Think that they would be going through all this if it were merely a fooger?

Don't think so......

It looks like a UFO traveling through space.

Hmmm!! Somewhat like the Voyager spacecraft.

Ahhhh... I've only just seen that pic. Looks a bit like a Moogy knob embedded in an LED collar?

I wonder if it's some form of synth that resembles the NL 3, not in terms of sound source but displaying all stored parameters?

Ah well, only 20 days to wait, soon fly by, innit?

definately looks like a moog pot with an LED collar.
Maybe thats the product there.
Maybe its just a moog shuttlewheel with a usb interface for your computer.

nah, I think that using the words "Big announcement about a little addition to the product range" and "hip new product" means that its gonna be a product thats gonna be pushed heavily (can only really do that with something thats affordable) about a little addition to the range. Judging the success and accessability of budget synths like the MicroKorg and the Alesis Micron and the Novation K Station, its hopefully going to be a product similar to them to bring Moog back to the masses.
Theres discussion on various websites (http://www.retrothing.com/2006/01/a_low_cost_moog.html) about ways of creating a low cost moog using some nifty technology (theres also talk on there saying that Bob Moog actually walked over and had a look at those funky chips at one of the other trade shows a few years ago). And also the infamous Amos (who works for Moog) is around and about on the net talking (in riddles mostly) about the new Moog product. Theres a great quote that he posted on MusicThing which says "Hello, 'Amos' here...
for future reference, my name really is Amos and I do work at Moog Music.

I am here to say that Good Things are coming from Moog, and the exact specifics will be divulged at NAMM.

Perhaps I got carried away, on that heady day when Dave Bryce dropped the news about the mono evolver keyboard...

Still, I try to remember what my grandad always used to tell me-- "loose lips synth chips!"
-at least that's how it sounded after he lost his dentures. "

Synth chips? nice. Looking pretty promising.

I hope to Christ that its not a controller keyboard. But I dont think thats too likely as it defeats the whole idea of Moog being sound pioneers.

And I also hope that its not "Hardware controller for Moog endorsed software" a la Korg Legacy.
