Which is too bad, because nobody wants my alcohol-soaked liver. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Assuming the wood pieces are side panels, I don't know how it will ever fit in a case, so it must be designed for studio use. Bolt-on side panels don't hit me has high-end for Moog. Tounge and groove construction for the higher-end units, bolt-on for entry level. I really have no clue as to what it is. I'm sure Bryce knows.

Ravi Ivan Sharma Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Also interesting to me is that it is 3 octaves. Bob told me that he thought that 44 keys was "the best number of keys" But the Source had 37 keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I do wonder about the future of Moog Music. Most likely this product was designed by Bob and has now become a reality. The thing is you don't just throw parts together and out comes a great sounding synth. You need a Dave Smith or Bob Moog. Who is the chief designed at Moog Music? Busch.

K K Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 A 3-oct MMMM (MiniMonophonicMemoryMoog) wouldn't be a novelty. Unless the MSRP is $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely this product was designed by Bob and has now become a reality. Who is the chief designer at Moog Music? Busch. Cyril Lance. There's a nice bio on the Moog site (Read Mike Adams' open letter regarding the future of Moog Music). Cyril shares many credentials with Bob, and is also a fine musician in his own right. His cd is sitting in my player this minute. Powerful stuff. I don't know whether this new piece is a Bob thing or a Cyril thing, but my guess it that it's driven by the necessity to keep the doors open at Moog Music. Something simple, something affordable, something to put a Moog synth in every household. Just guessing k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeronyne Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well, from hte revealed specs and the wood side panel, I would guess that it's a revamped prodigy in a non-foldable mini form factor. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Specs are now on the Moog site. Apparently the name of the synth is, I sh!t you not, "Little Fatty" http://moogmusic.com/news.php?cat_id=107&news=1 "Sound editing of continuous parameters (like Filter Cutoff) is done from the front panel by enabling a parameter with its switch (its LED becomes illuminated), and then adjusting its value control. There are 4 value controls, one for each section: Modulation, Oscillators, Filter, and Envelopes. Each is surrounded by a ring of 15 LEDs that show approximately the stored or edited value of the current parameter. The value controls are analog, and when a parameter is activated, the analog control signal is switched to directly control that parameter (RAC or Real Analog Control). For each section, only one continuous parameter can be activated at a time for editing. For parameters that have multiple possibilities (such as Mod Source) pressing that switch advances through the possible Mod sources. For On/Off type switches like Osc. Sync, the LEDs are On when that parameter is on or Off when the parameter is off." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fiala Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Here are the other specs: The "***" is a monophonic analog synthesizer, with 100 user editable presets. Synth Engine: Sound Sources are two ultra-stable analog VCOs. Parameters for the VCOs are: - Osc. 1 Octave: 16, 8, 4, 2 - Osc. 1 Wave: Continuously variable from triangle through saw and square to skinny pulse. - Osc. 1 Level - Glide Rate - Osc. 1 2 Sync On/Off - Osc. 2 Frequency - Osc. 2 Octave: 16, 8, 4, 2 - Osc. 2 Wave: Continuously variable from triangle through saw and square to skinny pulse. - Osc. 2 Level - Fine Tune (for both Oscillators, located at the bottom left of the panel) Sound Modifiers include a single VCLPF: 24 dB /Oct Moog Ladder filter, with filter Overload control and a single Output VCA. Filter parameters are: Cutoff Resonance Kb. Control Amount (how much the Key CV modulates the Filter) Filter Env. Amount (how much +/- the filter envelope modulates the filter) Overload An Envelope Generator section provides two ADSR EGRs: one to modulate the Filter (Filter EGR) and one to modulate the VCA (Volume EGR). For each EGR, the parameters are: Attack Decay Sustain Release The Modulation section contains a 4-waveform LFO, and a 1x1 Mod Buss with 6 possible mod sources and 4 possible destinations. Its parameters are: LFO Rate Mod Source: (LFO triangle, LFO square, LFO sawtooth, LFO ramp, Filt. EGR, and Osc. 2) Mod Amount (the amount of modulation w/ the mod wheel all the way forward) Mod Destination (Pitch, Osc. 2, Filter, Wave) The User Iinterface (UI) section is described in the UI spec, below the LCD and UI controls are the following: Performance controls: 37-note keyboard Spring-loaded pitch wheel Mod Wheel Glide On/Off Octave Down Octave Up To the right of the front panel is the Output section. There is a Master Volume control, an Output On/Off switch, a Headphone Volume control, and a headphone output jack (1/4 TRS) The side of the instrument houses the I/O of the instrument.

MikeT156 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Frankly, I'm pretty bored with mono synths. Probably because I own several of them. I still have my Moog Source and Arp Odyssey, which are great as far as mono synths go. But I won't be plucking down any $$$ on ANY mono synth, Moog or not. Mike T.

konaboy Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 love it! now make it affordable (let's say less than a Nord Lead) and I'm on the market for one. Lets face it, this baby has real analogue VCOs and that classic Moog filter. Mono is very appealing since all my other keyboards are poly. My only reservation is the strange editing matrix. I would dearly have liked to see one knob/button for every function. Looking forward to seeing and trying it. hang out with me at woody piano shack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fiala Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well, my Moog Source just died....so I'm interested (And I certainly won't be taking it to the local repair shop.....) Tom F. "It is what it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Fiala Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yeah.....then I took it in to get it midified. It went to the local repair place somewhat out of tune, and after a long delay, I got it back. Tale of woe described in another thread. Now it doesn't make any sound at all. The shop says "We didn't even touch it"..Grrr!!! It does power up, lights up, and the membrane panel always worked properly. Opened it up - nothing appears to be obviously blown.. I'm guessing a funky power supply that's a little low on voltage, but I'm no electrical engineer. Any suggestions? Anybody want a Moog Source and separate encore midi kit? But back to the topic, the new moog looks a bit like a souped-up Source, based on the 2 osc. spec. Tom F. "It is what it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K K Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Originally posted by MikeT156: Frankly, I'm pretty bored with mono synths.This is the main problem with Moog since a long time.

MikeT156 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hey Tom, it sounds like you need to send it to a PROFESSIONAL that works on Moog synths. Many local shops don't have tech's on staff that can work an RA's. Fortunately, I never had any problems with my Source. But then, I don't play it very often either. I got spoiled by poly synths years ago and just play lead lines on them most of the time. Lazy. Cydonia, you nailed it. Time for Moog to do something other than a MiniMoog rehash. Mike T.

K K Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Originally posted by Markyboard: What would you guys prefer Moog made instead? Oh...and that you would actually buy? Something that has six voices at least. I abandoned a Roland Jupiter-4 decades ago because I couldn't stand its four voice limitation after a while. Now, should I pay a big price twenty years later for a monophonic anything? In my case, no. It's not about Moog, it's about any monophonic synth. Of course, opinions may differ.
