it was briefly posted last night/this morning on a moog page, then had the price pulled then the whole thing. it could have been a web designer error (for that individual's sake, i hope not), it could have been a hacker. i'm leaning toward true although the name does not seem very moog-ish (could be a working title, could be a term Bob or someone used in referring to it in development and it just stuck). It fulfills our wish for a smaller cheaper synth albeit not all that cheap. the fact that it refers to a "tribute" edition perhaps suggests there may be other editions/versions. ah, beautiful unbridled speculation, so much prettier than than the cold hard truth. the curse of unlimited potential strikes again.

I'm a bit curious to if they have done something with the basic sound, or if it's identical to the Voyager (being a simplified Voyager, that is). Though, I must say the price looks quite good for a moog synth. :)
Too bad if they didn't include osc sync either..

damn, if this is true there won't be anymore fun in the guessing via clues. Took all the fun out of this.

I don't think it'll be the real name...but I hope it is so people can overreact.

In the unlikely event that it is the real production name, I hope it's on a little Minimoog-style plaque so you can chisel the damn thing off...

There'll be money to be made in replacement 'Orbiter' plaques :)


( I know I know, we don't know what it's really called yet :wink: )
