Moooooooooog

[James Coplin]

No, I’m with you all the way on this one.  I’ve owned most of the vintage
Moog stuff over the years except for their modular and I have been
completely underwhelmed by them since the relaunch of the company.  I find
all the designs not only uninspiring and tired, but also overpriced and
redundant.  They are like an analogue Access.  I don’t even like the sound
of the new stuff.

Just my tuppence worth *YAWN*



Sorry, it's *another* monosynth, using the same filter they've been using
for 40+ years, and I suspect oscillators from one of their other products.

The only thing it has as a "new" feature seems to be overdrive of the
filter.



It seems to be two octaves (which I find very limiting performance wise),

and have no patch memory.



as has been pointed out, it looks like a tiny phatty (Hate that name) with
keyboard but no patch memory.



Given the skills Moog clearly have, why do they keep churning out rehashes
of existing products?

That voice card looks pretty small to me, why not be brave and stuff 8 of
them in a box and make a poly synth?



For me this offers nothing that isn't available on a dozen other "analogue
monosynths".



But there you go, that's just me, and I know I'm different.
