Not sure that you'd need a dedicated oscillator just to produce a sine wave. Any oscillator should be capable of producing a sine wave. It's likely that calibrating one for it falls into the "more effort than its worth" category, at least as far as traditional analog/subtractive synthesis goes. Plen...

There was a photo circulating, though I can't recall the source, that looked like the MS-20 mini with an SQ-10. http://i60.tinypic.com/2ueo2n7.jpg The Odyssey reissue makes sense as it can be done on a single SMT board, with available parts. The Odyssey did not have any special or rare chips that c...

This is just insanely cool. Korg, I love you!

Sooooo who's actually excited for this? I think it'll be awesome to have more tribute editions. Those were always the nicest little phattys. I think the sequencer looks sick too. I'm very hyped up for the Sub 37. It has pretty much everything I could ever ask for from a two oscillator synth, short ...

Hey Marc, I got a Moogy question that's related to Sub37. I heard recently that Minitaur, Sub Phatty and Taurus II have digital LFOs and EGs, not analog like Slim Phatty and Voyager. I was kind of surprised...know if it is true? I'll try and answer this, although I'm not an expert by any means. The...

Agreed, a Moog analog poly would not only be awesome, but expensive. The best route that could go if they decide to make one is to make it like an OB-X where you can buy as many voice boards as you could afford or add as you can afford. That way you'd only have a a $2K or so upfront cost for a 1 or...

Wow. Glad I decided to stay up a bit late screwing around on the internet tonight. Also starting to feel really good about the iPad I bought a year ago just because I knew something "pretty cool" would come out sooner or later. Never would have anticipated this. This is the type of thing that 20 yea...

Smoke ruins practically everything given time. Although the odd exposure to it through a gig here and there won't really have much effect. If you play a synth in a smoky bar/pub occasionally, you probably won't have to worry about discoloration and internal problems. If you do four hour sets 5 night...

The Kronos comes in 61, 76, and 88 key flavors. The 61 key is $3000, with the 88 key topping out at $3800. Overall, this Jupiter 80 looks like a pretty good instrument in its own right. The rumored $3500-$4000 price tag seems a bit steep for something that's more than a VA style synth, but not quite...

A great man once said something along the lines of, and I paraphrase: "Synthesizers shouldn't be made to recreate or replace old sounds, they should be used to create new sounds." What was his name? It's bugging me that I can't remember. Oh! Right! It was Dr. Robert Moog. *Hugs Voyager, gives Little...

That might have been it. Sounds familiar. They also did an Analog Time Compressor pedal that is a reverse delay; you hear the note before you play it.

I love Moog.

The Voyager XL is real.

I forget what last years was. I know they announced the Moog Guitar on April 1st, which is also a real product.

I have no experience doing anything like this, but I've picked up a bit of information here and there. Make Magazine has a lot of information on DIY project related things. It's also available as a print / newstand magazine. http://makezine.com/ PAiA has been selling synth kits forever. Although thi...

Both my MD and Mono are the same way, so unless someone else says otherwise, I guess It's just the way they're designed. I don't think anything can really be done about it. It took me a while to get used to, but I can see why they are that way. They're springy and loose so they can be suited for liv...

I think they might be getting them out a little slower than what is normal for them. I had a pre-order paid for back in mid December (first day they took orders) and it still took a few days once shipping actually started on Jan. 17th. As for the question about Timestretching, the timestretch is lin...
