Yes, I want one already. I always wait for things to sell second hand-- but in this case, if I have the money, I will buy immediately.

I can already do a fair amount of what it can do on my modular... with hard sync and my ele guitar and all. I wait till i try one to hear the tone and it's subtleties , and see what is up... I like it :) I just have a long list of toys i want

one for sure, i might get two if i'm happy with it's congruity with the LP. A 3 osc LP / modular moogerfooger set-up will be really really fun..

moog needs to make a CP unit with an ADSR! i'd happily sell one of my cp-251's if they did to make room.

i've got three on preorder

i've preordered three of them. based on what i've seen, this looks like an incredibly useful module and is truly something new. true, i could probably coax my synthesizers.com system into doing something similar, but what i really appreciate about the moogerfoogers is having everything in such a small space prepatched in a useful and unusual way, but not prepatched in a way that restricts me. there is really nothing else in the synth world like the moogerfoogers, and each of them are a perfect balance of simplicity and flexibility. i wish they were all available in cp251-style enclosures, but that's my only complaint about them.

if the 107 is a preview of things to come, then i'd say bob moog's spirit is still very much alive at moog music. the 107 along with the 101, 102, 103, and a few 251s makes a very powerful and complete modular system in very little space. plug a theremin into the 107 input and a few expression pedals in to the other inputs and who knows what might happen.

amen on the cp-style enclosures. i realize it would probably be a huge pain for moog to re-make everything into cp-style enclosures, but considering they already have great support for them, and many people who are more synth-oriented can probably agree the rack space/inputs on the top scenario is a bit frustrating, this would be an AWESOME way to maybe get more people interested in picking more 'foogers up.

i'd trade-up for all of em if they did this. might be a little late in the game, but if they started gradually, it wouldn't be impossible. financially feasible/desirable? i'm not totally sure.

maybe i'll make some mock ups. that'd be fun. :)

Before I bought my first MF (first the RM, then the LPF, then the Phaser), I held out for a long time because I didn't like the idea of a $300 studio sound processor in a guitar pedal stomp-box.

But what I found after owning them is that they're actually alot easier, more convenient, and versatile to use than a rack enclosure would be. In fact, I now hate rack equipment... they're unneccesarily large, heavy, and cumbersome... and inconvenient to patch with jacks in back-- especially when racked.

Im also putting together a modular synth, but it won't replace the quick, versatile, and portable functionality of the MFs.

True, a CP-251 style box would be better (or even just chop off the empty stomp switch portion)... but this is probably their marketing slant-- guitar pedals. Not much market for synth modules...
