Shafts of sublime light shot from the graves of Don and Bob. Perhaps Rob Hordijk as well. :wink: Focused through the living Grant, and the combined beam hit the Moog factory.

Ahh fuckin hell, was doing so good with slimming down my setup, and then this. You already know it’s gonna be at that nice Moog Desktop affordable price point too ($699?).

Anyways, dying for some audio/video demos of this thing, but will likely be an instabuy.

Wow, nothing had sparked my interest like this got a long time!
Hopefully they wait for the end of my #NGNY24 to get this out :sweat_smile:

I love semi-modulars.
This and the Taiga keys are both on my radar now.

Muting this thread and going back to my Make Noise gang for now.

Looks super interesting. Didn’t expect that, especially after they just announced the Spectravox yesterday

I was surprised the Spectravox is $599, with all those VCA’s in it. same price as M32 and DFAM. so I wouldn’t be surprised if this tries to hit that same price point.

I lack the knowledge to ‘hear’ it from just the image, but colour me intrigued.

It’s kind a like a “weeewoooowweeewoo” and if you patch it right it can go “kkkzzzttkzztkzztkzzt” and maybe a “wubwubwubwub”

I’m sold.

If there’s one thing my setup is missing it’s a bit of kkkzzzttkzztkzztkzztkzzt.

Is it the same thing in French?

Woa :open_mouth:

I always wanted to wubwubwubwub with the cool kids … maybe this will be my first Moog.

For some reason I expect this machine to be “magical” …

Intrigued!

Someone on Etsy already has it listed as one of the MOOG’s that their stand works with :joy:

How comes there has been nothing on this coming out of superbooth I thought people would be all over this ?

I think the leak may have been unintentional, and it is only being shown behind the scenes at SB.

Maybe we will still see it at this show. Otherwise, the motto is : Good things are worth the wait.

Yeah, I think this one was intended to be a little further out.

I make my own versions of everything in it, and I still will be all over this. I can’t think of anything better to pair with my Grandmother. It’s going to be quite the combo.

I’m betting on release later, hopefully by the holidays. Just from a marketing perspective, I doubt they’ll want to introduce two weird, hard-to-explain synthesizers with unusual names in an identical format back to back.

I mean, their Spectravox launch video was uploaded five months ago, and only just went public. Moog takes its time with hardware launches.

What’s the sequencer like?

Edit: deleted the post…

It appears to be two LFSRs. (linear feedback shift registers with adjustable sizes, perhaps bit operators (the corrupt thing) etc. So, pseudo-random, gate and CV patterns. Depending on the implementation you might be able to “sample” signals into the shift register via a threshold control, and also make fully cycling patterns. So not traditional sequencing. More like the Wiard Noise Ring, Buchla Source of Uncertainty, Turing Machine, and other shift register based modules/devices. So more on the experimental side while still being very musical. It’s one of my favorite ways of generating CV patterns. Also when clocked at audio rates, you can make digital noise, Atari style pulse waveforms, etc. They’ll track with the VCO in pitch.

Examples:

Wiard NoiseRing:

My own Bit Station (generating the CV patterns):

Oh damn that bit station is a beautiful synth.

But yeah I posted above that I figured it was something like the Xaoc Leibniz binary system and I think that’s a similar thing to all the stuff you posted

Definitely! Also the Rob Hordijk Benjolin / Rungler if you’re familiar with those.

Oh, and thank you!
