Moog Music Forum

I read a rumor about an Old School knobbed out phatty.

Any predictions what the new year might hold in terms of the moog product line?

Maybe more midified foogers. 101M seems likely.

I heard a rumor from the Great Pumpkin about a 64 voice all analog polyphonic modular.

Seems redundant in my opinion, if you could afford a Phatty with knobs you could get something Voyager class with Knobs that already exists. That said, I've lusted about the opposite. A 1U rack Phatty with MIDI only, no knobs. Then control a bunch of them with a regular Phatty or even better a knobbed out one.

Been hoping for years for a proper racked version of Moogerfoogers - you know, not like 6+U of rack space to fit 3 with your spare wood endcheeks in a box and the jacks taking up rack space sticking up but like the the 500 series out now with the jacks on front. Where have I seen that before? I keep seeing pictures of these things with music legends playing them. Just need to add like an envelope & VCA to the Fooger line.

Sir Nose, in response to your question, I have a friend who runs a synthesizer store and he is in contact with moog aboutxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I think an old school Phatty is a valid speculation, either that or a new line altogether. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Minitaur with keys to one up the Minibrute?

This is my guess.

This is good speculation, but I'm not sure that would necessarily "one-up" the MiniBrute, seeing as Minitaur still has osc range limitations that prevent it from playing any note above C5. I think in order to bypass this, Moog would have to make some serious changes to the circuitry, effectively making it a "not Minitaur". So I think it's a brand new synthesizer. But I don't know anything.

Brand new synth would be great. Especially at the $1000 mark. Hopefully, it has a little something different to offer either control or sonically.

I'd be happy with knob per function, 2 OSC, 2 Filters, and better modulation (2 LFOs and 3 ENV, or 2 ADSR and 2 one knob Murf style AD). A ribbon the length of the keyboard would be nice. Edit: All of that easily given up for a tab bit of INNOVATION.

New Prodigy or Mirco then. Basically a minitaur configuration with Phatty oscillators and a 2 octave kb.

That's my last guess.

Give or take a few [thousands].

I'm just hoping the layout is going to be nice.

A touchscreen and ribbon and joystick performance controller would be nice. Makes too much sense for them to actually make it.

A three voice Minitaur? That's my next guess...

Aren't all but a small few Moogs mono?
