I'm with you, S. Clubber. : )

i'm getting one. but not for now. I'll wait and see and probably will sell the voyager and get this one instead.

I've got a Model D and a Voyager and can't wait to get my LP.. I'm buying for my wife to supplement her MG1 and so we can finally get rid of our MS2000 ... However, I've seen it. Its absolutely GORGEOUS ! And is guarnteed to have a sound that will set it apart from other Moogs.

My first Moog was the Prodigy. My Model D and my Voyager can not sound like my Prodigy. It just won't happen.. You can get really close with the Voyager, but still you can't get that dirty cheap sound and feel (that most of us started off on and still love) of synths like the Prodigy, Rouge Micro, etc etc... I can't get my prodigy to sound like my MG1 even close. Or my Voyager in fact..

The point is - until he hear and he feel it -he shall shuteth thee upeth .. Lets not judge it yet kids It will sound PHAT !

PS.. I live in Humboldt County, CA so I don't mind the "Little Phatty" title, if thats what it has been confirmed as. - Nick

Please explain.

does that mean it doesn't sound anything like the voyager?

do you know if it uses the same filter and VCOs?

what does it look like?

I know this has been covered already but I was just comparing the features on the Source with the new Moog, which are very alike...It will be a huge surprise if they reveal a basic step sequencer with the unveiling....

At least the new Moog will have parts readily available, warranty, lots of service centers, maybe updates…

From what I understood it has the same OSC and filters from the Voyager.....

Not sure. If I did it'd be for linking with the Voyager for more complex sounds. But I may just get a Voyager RME and link that with the keyboard one. If there's something really different about the sound (and the right kind of difference) that'd swing it.

But it looks like it'll appeal to people who'd like a Moog with the classic tone but can't afford a Voyager. So if existing Voyager owners buy it, that'll either be for added tone complexity or as a second Moog for stage use.

I wonder how much our vote will tell us about sales prospects for the new synth, or whether the real indication will be an influx of new people for whom this is their first Moog synth.

Well, there are a lot of things that I would rather have than ANY monosynth right now. Therefore, it doesn't really matter to me how it sounds! I don't need another monosynth. Anyway, if I were going to buy another monosynth it would be an RME to make my MMV duophonic.

If I had a bigger budget, I might consider it. It would be nice to take to a gig without having to worry about drunken idiots touching my $3000 synth.

Sorry OysterRock,

I see what you are saying. My poly is a Waldorf Q and it is a very important, powerful and beautiful part of my rig. For me a new Moog, poly or not, would be the cherry on top!!

I'm in Asheville right now, it's snowing (never seen that in Florida) and i'm taking a tour of the Moog factory tomorrow. I feel like i'm close to mecca.

But, don't deny yourself the temptation.

Yeah, really. I say all this now, but I'm sure when I actually see it I'll be pinching pennies.

I've already started! It's an issue that is costing me food!! But it's well worth it!!

Can you spare some water??

i've been on this forum for ages and this will be my first moog synth,
although i did get an etherwave a couple of years ago, not sure if that really counts?

but there's a good point, etherwave pro owners who want to play around with some different sounds (and not just by adding effects) could play this with the theremin

you could plug the CV outs of each antenna into the pitch/volume ins and the audio output of the etherwave into the ext audio in on orbiter

three ocsillator synth/theremin combo for roughly the same price as the voyager!

Agreed Nick! That's why I kept my Prod too.

I can't get my prodigy to sound like my MG1 even close. Or my Voyager in fact..

Why the hell would you want to get anything as splendid as a Voyager to sound like a bloody MG1 for goodness sake!!?? .... Now I think of it, a very good friend of mine recorded Fairlight "Arr1" tapes for the Mellotron......

Why's that? Is it the Obesity Capital County of California? ... I've seen the pics of your family, Nick... You're all slim and healthy looking... Are you letting your neighborhood down?... Nip out to McDonald's and Supersize yourselves immediately!!

OysterRock wrote:It would be nice to take to a gig without having to worry about drunken idiots touching my $3000 synth.

that's one of my concerns as well... I'd like to have a new, stable, quality, (replaceable, god forbid) synth in my bands live line-up. I'm almost thinking about taking my Source out of the line-up (for drunken idiot reasons), but I'd much rather replace that brittle-sounding MG-1... and then we'd have stored patches all around too.

I do like the performance controls of the MG-1 though. Especially how the octaves have that toggle switch that can be clicked back'n'forth for that techno-style bass sound. but I guess that could be done on the new moog too, with it's octave up/down buttons (ala Source).

LOL. Its basically the stoner capital of N. America.

I was just saying that, every Moog has its own charachter to it, and to try to excatly recreate the sound and feel of one Moog on another Moog is impossible...

I (unlike most) LOVE the cheesy poly section of the MG1 and along with those other cheap oscillators (oh I mean "tone sources") the thing sounds cheap, but unlike any other Moog I've owned .. I know other synths by Moog have the cheesey Poly section (Liberation,Opus3 etc), but because of differences in other parameters on these individual synths, the poly section then does different things. does the opus 3 have random shape modulation routings to the filter or oscillators ? I don't know for sure but I think not, which would then result in different patch abilities...

Anyway though, I still think that the LP wil have a sound feel and LOOK all its own, which is why my wife Anna must have one !!!!
