I'm also curious about the MODX touchscreen, though my concern is more over the durability. I'm a Korg M3 owner, and it touchscreen is known for being on the delicate side.
-
Interesting that Organimation might actually sound better than the CX3 modeling engine. Can't wait to meet up w/ the local musos at Chucks to check out the MODX.
-
I'd go with the MODx too, but I can see where someone could still choose the FA... sequencer, trigger pads, clonewheel engine, VA synth engine, assignable out I'm with you here. I do know several who would choose the FA series over the MODx for the sequencer and trigger pads - those kind of people are not going to care which keyboard has the most state of the art synthesis technology.

Apparently, the official announcement from Yamaha is scheduled for noon EST. That is why Sweetwater took down that page. The specs posted there might not be totally accurate, though I'm sure they're a step closer to reality than typical GearSlutz stuff.
-
This might be a better link - the other one points to some kind of guitar https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/yamaha-modx-launch/

I like the creativity of weinglas' unboxing video, and I love how he uses an actual glass of wine too. [video:youtube]
-
I think you're the first here, because Sound Semiconductor only made this announcement a couple of days ago. I guess an NDA made them wait until the PX started shipping before they would be allowed to say anything. BTW, it seems a couple guys important to synth history were involved:
-
I can't find the link to the manual on that page. When I click "Here is the manual" the browser just refreshes to the same page. Clouser's review was a great read.
-
Another factory video, this time done in the popup factory, and recorded by "loopop". [video:youtube] If you don't have time to watch it now, I'm sure ElmerFudd will repost this video again in a couple of weeks.
-
Fair enough, Mark. You do have a sweet little setup around that SEM. I was drawn in by the "starter package" concept - sequencer/arp, over 40 patch points, color coded "modules", keyboard, spring reverb, etc. Some Grandmother demos by an early adopter: https://soundcloud.com/artfluids/sets/moog-grandmother-demos
-
This would have been my gateway into the Eurorack modular world. Those who bought it without previous modular experience will eventually find themselves buying external envelope, LFO, etc. modules to cross patch with their new Moog, thus slipping ever deeper into the modular money pit. I dodged a bullet there
-
Moog wants you to buy another device to supply a 2nd envelope. Like, maybe, a Mother 32. Just like they left the DFAM limited in various ways - to encourage DFAM owners to buy something else to CV patch it with, like, a M32 or perhaps the Grandmother. Honestly though if I had your modular rig, I wouldn't even be looking at any of these Moogs - why would I if I had that modular?
-
Yeah I checked on Guitar Center yesterday, only to learn that they're sold out. They do have other Moog products on sale though, as part of their up-to-20% off Moogfest promo. I don't consider this a Minimoog clone at all, btw. Yeah, they used the Minimoog oscillator design, but the rest of the synth is taken from the 900-series Moog modular line; and early reports say it sounds "angrier" than a Model D.
-
Loving most of the demos. Can't wait to try one in a store - after watching ProfD show how its done of course.
-
I'd rather just get a Dreadbox Abyss for 4-voice poly analog, or a DSI Prophet 6 module for the 6-voice than a stack of Slim Phatty's but hey if you have the money, room, and determination... Back to topic... I was going to post a pic that an early customer posted upon reception of his Moog Grandma, but it's too big. The Moog jacket will be embroidered to order. Seems happy with the sound of the Grandma.
-
And..... In case anybody hasn't already found it, the official product site with specs, manual, etc. etc. https://www.moogmusic.com/products/semi-modular/grandmother
-
For the geeks in the house - Moog factory video: [video:youtube]
-
That's $100 lower than what I initially read. So for a couple more hundred bucks over the Mother 32, you can have a grandma w/ 32-key keyboard, 1 more oscillator, spring reverb, etc.

Leak appearing on various forums, just before Mothers Day weekend. https://www.matrixsynth.com/2018/05/meet-new-moog-grandmother.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

Behring Odyssey and other classic synths reborn
GovernorSilver replied to Muad’Dib's topic in The Keyboard Corner
I agree. Macbeth and Studio Electronics for example, got started making Moog-inspired synths, and have survived despite the rebirth of Moog Music and Behringer's D clone. I think branching out with their designs and adding to their product lines helped. -
Behring Odyssey and other classic synths reborn
GovernorSilver replied to Muad’Dib's topic in The Keyboard Corner
Fair enough concerns, though a Dreadbox Erebus 3 3VCO semimodular is only 499 Euros - not much more than Behringer's Neutron 2VCO semimodular. Also, Dreadbox sells DIY synth kits for lower cost. -
Behring Odyssey and other classic synths reborn
GovernorSilver replied to Muad’Dib's topic in The Keyboard Corner
It'll get more synths into more hands. There's other Superbooth 2018 stuff that interests me more, but more people getting synths could be a good thing. -
Right? Looking forward to hearing the wavetable oscillators once they're implemented. I wonder if Dreadbox is planning a new version of the Abyss. Such lush pads/soundscapes out of just 4 VCOs.
-
Hybrid monosynth with two paraphonic modes, sequencer, and grid with XYZ-sensitive pads. Analog oscillators by Dreadbox (great up-and-coming synth maker). Digital wavetable oscillators presumably by Polyend. http://polyend.com/medusa/ [video:youtube]

I became a fan of Inhalt's demos after listening to his demos of the OB-6 and Prophet 6, so it's fitting that he submitted a PX one.
