I would hope that whatever Moog does if they do a polyphonic synth....they do it for 88 keys.
Thats been the real kicker is that Moog never made an 88 key manual.
73 notes would be nice but 88 would always be better.
1. I still say they should make a Phatty Expansion Box
2. Cp252 dualing EnvGen, 4 chan audio mixer, VCA, Dual Trigger Delay, Envelope Follower
3. Mf106 sequencer
No one is denying these things. In fact, I'll bet they come before the polyphonic synth. Amos has said himself that a polysynth would be a long term project that he would be excited to work on.

Yeah so would a MoogMobile.
I don't think that no matter the circumstances surronding a Moog polysynth...I don't know if Id ever really see the need for it. I mean by the times its all said and done Ill have like 4 synths lol.
Well see. Maybe in the next 5 years if they do one Ill be able to afford it, but I really want a few vintage pieces too.

5 synths? That's not nearly enough! You need at least 7 for a complete studio. Preferably 8, plus an organ. One of those needs to be able to make piano sounds. You've got your Rhodes, so you're covered on that front. You still need an organ of some type, either a console or a combo. Then there's the sequencers. You'll want at least three or four of those. And no fewer than 160 patch cords. Don't forget the potentiometer banks, ribbon controllers and expression pedals, now.

So, all you need is no fewer than four, maybe five more synths and you'll have a complete keyboard studio! As for where to put all those synths, pianos make GREAT keyboard stands!

Sounds like a grand idea, EricK!

I'll bet you could play a Moog polysynth. Imagine a Voyager or LP capable of CHORDS!
It would be the first thing since Bruce Lee to kick Chuck Norris' behind!
No! I can't press multiple keys on any keyboarded instruments anymore without feeling uncomfortable. I'm now accustomed to carefully programming chords.

It does take some retraining, yes. When I tested my Farfisa at Music-Go-Round, it took a minute for me to realize, "Waitaminute...this is an organ! It's polyphonic!" I then hit three notes at a time and was quite satisfied with the sound.
Of course, when I upgraded my LP to OS 2.00, I had to train myself chords for the arpeggiator. I also succeeded in that.

Also, buying any car right now, if it's American, will make some people very very happy indeed.
(I got to drive a Charger for Thanksgiving break; I forgot they existed since we only get the 300C here and when the rental company said "Hey, your midsize is a Sebring" I basically said "Oh god, give me ANYTHING but that. PLEASE". And they suggested a Dodge Avenger >_<. So we got an upgrade).
I wish they sold the Challenger here. I'd have an orange SRT.
OT and sorry... I know i'm late reading this thread.....
I had a Magnum SRT8 for a while, loved it!!!! (Notice my user name - MisterHemi
wink wink)
Drove it like a madman
for the time that I had it.... I inherited from my brother (deceased).
Now I have my 69 Dart (and a 440 in the garage) but don't know for how long though... having some serious problems right now.
Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion!

The distributor of the Benelux *did* raise the price, and by about 200 Euro!
Nevertheless, I ordered one at a local dealer but I'm still even waiting for
info about availability. I'll post the serial number as soon as I have it (that
is, *if* I can get one), as it's interesting to see where they are.
Well, I got one (#207), and I'm very very pleased with it. Man what a great
sound this thing has! I also have a Little Phatty Tribute, but with the same
basic sound settings, the OS sounds better I.M.O. Even though I already
mentioned it is a bit expensive, I now know it's worth every penny. And it
looks great too!

To be honest I think it sounds better than the 'normal' Voyager as well. I had a Performer and an RME and the OS sounds a little fuller to me. Could be my imagination though...

You think it sounds a bit better/different, I think it sounds a bit different,
some others think it sounds a bit different. It might not just be your
imagination (but mine and others too
), so who knows if there might be a
difference in the electronics of the analog boards after all? I can just guess,
I'm most certainly not an expert. A detailed 1 on 1 comparison of the analog
boards or schematics might tell. BTW, my OS was shipped including the
Patchbook.

Mine came with the patch book too.

I'm happy to know that my OS is rarer than an original Minimoog
