Goodbye Minimoog Voyager

[meatballfulton]

Hot on the heels of the Voyager RME announcement comes this in an email I got from Moog today:

After 13 years & 14,000 instruments, production of the Minimoog Voyager is coming to an end. Moog will lovingly handcraft 600 final units of the Minimoog Voyager at their factory in downtown Asheville, NC before saying goodbye.

So no more Minimoogs of any kind. Stock up now.

Notice the numbers: 14,000 Voyagers in 13 years. The numbers for the Model D were just over 12,000 in 11 years.

I saw this too. I keep wondering why though. Seems like it leaves a big hole in the Moog product line.

I am amazed by this. What exactly are they planning on selling in the future? Minifoogers in a variety of different finishes.

Not too surprised by this, it was a great run, and I want to assume they are going to create a new minimoog.

To be fair, that's a good production run and it's probably time to change. I doubt they'll be abandoning the quality mono market, and I also doubt they'll only stick with the Sub 37, which was supposed initially at least to be a 'limited' run. It'll be interesting to see what they do next.

minimoog reissue? they did reissued their modular synths, so why not...

I am amazed by this. What exactly are they planning on selling in the future? Minifoogers in a variety of different finishes.

I imagine within 6 months we'll see another premium mono from them.

I really enjoy my Voyager. I have a tendency to overuse it because of how easy it is to dial up something that sounds great. However I have 5 mono synths now. It would be nice to see a new poly synth from Moog, but I won't get my hopes up.

Good bye.
