There’s no new information or substance in your comments, just more speculation and needless negativity. You gotta be patient, m’lord. Sounds like the GAS is getting to your head.

A global producer and heritage (in the synth world) brand has been kept alive for months, with many of the staff still employed. They’ve moved head office and changed production. They’ve brough an instruement to production and teased two more. In, what, nine months? Seems pretty full baked to me.

Making boutique instruments must be a difficult business. If Moog, Sequential, or even Elektron were about to go under, and a large company could save them, as consumers, what would we prefer?
Shame on the Muse but zero GAS over here…
firmly believe the Moog One 16v is the GOAT and will inevitably become a revered classic once discontinued… going down as the last great synth to come out of Moog before going bust.
Also - a little bird told me that new firmware is scheduled to hit by end of 2024 which activates full polyphonic aftertouch; most folks dont know that the hardware is capable of it.

This seems weird — it seems like it’d almost be harder to mimic channel aftertouch with a poly board than to just do poly from the start if the hardware supports it — but hope it’s true. Poly AT on a One would be a lot of fun.

I dont think its going to be mimicking anything… just not been “enabled” - yet. fingers crossed…
Unless there is going to be key bed upgrade, the One won’t be able to generate polyAT. Its Fatar keyboard only generates monophonic aftertouch.

This is what I also assumed but the “source” told me otherwise. He is very credible… used to work for Moog. Anyway would be a wonderful surprise. I love it as it is.
Fwiw they also mentioned that most folks dont know it has an SSL style compressor found in the G-series thats at the VCa outputs, that its the only Moog product to incorporate the same T192/193 transistors found in the Model D ladder filter, and that Moog reverse engineered a Neve 8816 circuit from their summing mixer to incorporate into the Moog Ones mixing stage….

It’s 6 years old. There is no way it has hidden poly aftertouch just waiting for a firmware upgrade to activate.
this is what drove Moog under. they made brilliant decisions like “let’s put a more expensive keyboard into this synth, but not activate it for six years.”
or more likely: they didn’t.

Don’t know anything specifically, but that’s what UDO has done for the Super 6 as a limited time upgrade. So that may be possible. Nikarga’s little bird 
could be right in that way. Lots of ifs on this though.

For a top tier synth like the One, such a hardware upgrade is obviously not impossible but I doubt that a polyAT upgrade would be firmware only.
Im not sure. Once i got my sub phatty i worked out a patch in my DAW that divided the initial key value by +12 semitones and -12 semitones for the second oscillator. Meaning i could have duophonic incidental harmonies per programed note (2 note chords). Just like on the sub37. I emailed Moog the details in hope they could implement it as a feature in a software update, it would have been easy to make that synth duophonic. But alas they didn’t implement it, in fact they shelved the synth and released the duophonic sub25 shortly after.
Kinda sounds like they did implement it but didn’t want to give it away for free 
I don’t make synths, so this could of course all be wrong… but my understanding is that poly-AT requires a specific keybed. a non poly-AT keybed can’t provide that information, regardless of whether the firmware is looking for that data or not. just like if the firmware is looking for velocity data but the keybed providing that data isn’t velocity-sensitive.
looking for two notes at once is different, I think. because I don’t think keybeds are mono or poly. it just depends upon what the firmware that’s scanning them is doing with the data they’re providing. so likely, yes, Moog could make the Sub Phatty duophonic with a firmware update.

Good thinking 99. The phatty has no AT like the 37 but i can play chords over midi out…
It was there, but you had to sign an NDA to be able to play with it.

Spill the beans.
I have nothing to say, but some people think it sounded “pretty damn good”
