The Quantum Poly AT was a new hardware revision. Not a firmware update. The Iridium keyboard was sold with a Poly AT keybed from the release on.

Adding a Poly AT keybed on the One wouldn't be a firmware update. It would be a Mark II version of the One.
But adding Poly AT receiving via MIDI is a firmware update, if it isn't yet implemented.

I don't think there will be an update, unless there will be a new hardware revision needing a slightly changed firmware.

Have to agree with Till, I don't think will see anymore firmware updates, what's the incentive? I'd be shocked if anyone was working on new firmware. Now if folks were willing to pay for features that can enhance the One on it's existing hardware, that maybe something Moog may want to considers.

The incentive is to fix the midi stuff that is not working that is pretty basic stuff on any other synth out there. Like midi Expression/volume send/receive. Plus fixing the bugs folks here and elsewhere have pointed out.

Not gonna stop me from having a great time with it. But I can’t imagine there wouldn’t at least be a Firmware 1.5.2 coming, to clean this stuff up.

I’m not even asking for new features. Just clean up the existing ones that need it.

Hope this happens as well, but I kinda lost hope, well see.

Back to " support Poly Aftertouch over Midi ", that's exactly what I am looking for to control Moog One from my Expressive E, Osmose.

Be it a software update or a new hardware version, quoting Nick Bates, "Moog One screams for poly aftertouch".

Just receiving poly aftertouch via DIN or USB MIDI is no rocket science and was done by synth manufactures in the last 30 years. Even the original Waldorf microWave had this.

But again, I have the feeling the Update of the One with this feature might never come. We had some other Moog synth with never 100% finished firmware. Like the Moog Taurus and the MP-201.

The One still has sync problems with notes sent via midi messages from Cubase. Notes stick / freezes, and when exporting live it's annoying to have to pray that doesn't happen, when one of the One's big selling points was its integration with current studios. So, if they don't fix that, which is one of the most annoying bugs for people who work in the studio with a lot of other synths, I'll be pretty upset.

Yes, Poly Aftertouch MIDI transmission is available since a long time, I owned Ensoniq VFX and TS-10 back in the days. That's why the promise for this feature has to be kept.

Why is it so important ? You'll know when you try it, you will never want to go back.

It makes hardware or software synths bloom as expressive as an acoustic instrument. We are now seeing more and more PolyAT controllers, Push 3 would be the latest.

This is the future.

It's the first question I ask about a polysynth, and is the reason I have held off for what, 5 years now on getting a Moog One? The fact that it took over 2 years for 1.5 to come out as well as the recent business developments puts the One into the category of "what might have been..." The people who bought out Moog are the same who were involved in Numark's acquisition of Alesis, and one of the first things that happened was the dismissal of the Andromeda development team. I fear the One will suffer a similar fate.
