Ok, no more excuses on not making a new polyphonic synth...

Also, do they accept kidney as form of payment?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

The price is probably around $50k or more in these days. Just as expensive as they were back in the 60s and 70s. So only the richest of musicians could get their own, or guys like Emerson with unlimited budgets..most of the time you'd find a Moog Modular system in a big recording studio though. And bands would hire time with it + a programmer to make sounds and record it.

So the studios made their investment back pretty easily.

My money is on a forthcoming tweet from Deadmau5, to include a photo of one sitting in his studio.

I'm pretty sure this IS their excuse for not making a poly. But honestly, who cares? It's just another a*s-backwards move from Moog--maintaining a "legacy" by making products for exactly 5 people in the world, using a rock dinosaur (who's been irrelevant for 35+ years, and who's sole contribution to electronic music is bringing cliched synth solos to a rock format) as their spokesperson

God forbid they highlighted people who actually used Moog modulars to, you know, actually break down musical barriers?

Sub 37 is NOT a*s backwards. It's possibly the most modern analog mono around.
