Moog Music Forum

lately it seems as though noone has been talking about what moog will release next. maybe there is a whole lot on the plate at the moment but i for 1 would definitely like to see some new moogerfoogers to round out the line up. personally i would like to see a flanger come down the line in the near future. does anyone else out there have any ideas or is everyone content on saving up until the end of the mayan calendar for the guitar?

if they come out with a bass, maybe I´ll start saving...

a sequencer in a cp-251 style enclosure would be nice. with foot operated tap tempo!

I´m curious what others would like to have..

I can refer you the thread below: "hello, and what I would like the most" .

basically something like a voltage controlled mixer/panner/tremelo with stereo in and out which could be used to distribute/pan/modulate one signal to two outputs, two signals to one output or two inputs to two outputs. I'll say a little more her about how such a thing could be used:


i would use something like this on both the input and outputs to my chain and multiple units could be a natural extension of the foogers into quad, surround and other multichannels environments. it would also allow for the further modulation of murf/phaser/delay outputs so they could move in more unpredictable ways.

on the inputs it could be used to VC mix between two VCOs or synths, or 2 completely different instruments

it could also be used in the middle of chain to pan the signal say between two filters, delay or ringmods with different settings - wild tempo based stereo morphing could be had.

any complex modular system with a bunch of LFOs, VCAs and VC mixers could be configured to do those jobs but I think to have it in a fooger would be truly amazing.

a flanger would have to be truly special for me to shell out for it, but then I never thought I would be interested in a analog phaser until I heard the 103!

funkychorlton, check out the GIGFX chopper...

F i'm totally with you on a VCMixer/Fader etc. essentially i would use it to set up multiple effects loops and it would have to have an output attenuator so i don't blow the hell out of my gutiar amp. i'm currently in the process of building an effects set up which is to include the following:

MF-102 RingMod
MF-104Z Delay
Zero Point/Barber Pole Flanger (doesn't exist) MF-106???
TM-5 Guitar PreAmp
TM-7 Scrotum Smasher

the TM-5 doesn't have an output level control and neither does the TM-7 which also doesn't even have a bypass. so the current plan is to get around that with a Boss LS-2 Line Selector. i'd rather not have to deal with uglifying my pedal board with something from Boss but until things change c'est la vie

in order of fooger preference:

1) vca/env gen/audio mixer + maybe midi-cv converter if possible

2) chorus/flanger

3) multimode filter

4) boutique eq

5) sequencer

moog is so close to having a modular at this point that they need to bridge the gap for people who are buying these units for this purpose. if nothing else they would have a market opening that wasn't there before!

in the meanwhile I'll keep rolling w/ my XS + MF-107

more foogers plz!!!

thanks, the GIGFX chopper indeed looks great - just imagine that with mix and CV control - wild!

"moog is so close to having a modular at this point that they need to bridge the gap for people who are buying these units for this purpose. if nothing else they would have a market opening that wasn't there before!"

exactly, I am gradually replacing my modular with foogers. I haven't touched a guitar in 25 years, in fact nobody I know using foogers plays guitar

its great that a modular can also be used in conjunction with the existing range but it would be great if the fooger range cover the basics a little better, whilst staying true to the fooger way of thinking, i.e. semi modular - integrated LFOs, VCAs, Envelopes and mixers, CV for everything that matters, unbelievably good sound with any knob in any position, yey!

Id like to see a fooger

CP251 Style:
VCA
Env Gen X2
Env FOllower
DUal Trigger Delay
4 Chan Audio Mixer (wired to VCA or bypassing VCA for multiple osc tracking)

All this is based on Moog system 55 circuitry and the Modern Moog company makes these circuits already with the exception of the Dual Trigger Delay. This fooger would provide some advanced synthesis AND give the RME owners who own the Cp and the Vx351&2 units a fourth cp251 style fooger to fill the hole in their rack.

MF style
Extended FIlter Bank perfect for instrument replication. Also of the system 55 family.

I second the Multimode filter and the step sequencer.

Exactly, I guess since modular synths is such a small niche when compared to guitars, Moog isn't interested in going this route, it's a shame because they are so close.

maybe so but i think that guitarists would like something like this as well... having the ability to say trigger the modular w/ a guitar is alone enough merit to justify it. a line mixer would really be great for alot of applications, so i hope in time they consider an addition to support true self-sufficient modularity in the moogerfooger product line.

dear Moog Music

please note emerging consensus between guitarists and synthheads in this thread:

we WANT a modular in fooger form!

I agree...complete modular in Moogerfoogers. C'mon, Moog! Also, a CV ribbon controller the size of my forearm.

THat depends on the size of your forearm.

30 centimeters wrist to elbow...perfect for a ribbon controller.
