Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
I think my MiniBrute has met its successor, this looks brilliant. :)

Dreadfully dated look too - reminds me of the ill-fated EMS Polysynthi (just 30 built in 1978)

Re: Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
Attack, decay and release on pots whilst the sustain is a slider - always thought that would make sense in terms of rate vs level in envelopes.
Though then again I'm probably in the few that actually likes the idea of envelope presets for players synths (as opposed to more sound designer-y ones) so my opinion worth what it cost you lol

Elf won't be happy -- it has a line-lump PSU!
I know retro styling is popular, but this doesn't appeal to me at all. Think I'll be sticking with my Subseqent 37CV (and MS20 for patching fun).

Ignore the post count, I have no idea what I'm doing...
Re: Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
Looks like it fell through an ugly tree and hit every branch!
I'm just about to get some of my gear modified with internal (and non-momentary switch) PSUs (e.g. System-8, Karp Odyssey). I'll let you know how I get on. :D
Everyone used to tell me how external PSUs were a necessary evil of keeping prices low for budget gear. Then we had the re-issue MiniMoog... Kinda blows that argument. Bob would never have allowed it. I bet this ugly little critter ain't pocket money prices either.Hugh Robjohns wrote:Elf won't be happy -- it has a line-lump PSU!

I like it a lot. '70s retro look, and very easy to see what and where the controls are.
Do I have to leave the Forum, now ?

Instant gratification is actually pretty good. It's fast as well.

SS - you don't have to leave the forum.
You might need either your eyes or sanity checked though ... ;)
Summed up in a word ? Yeuch. In a smell ? Poooooh ...

Any keyboard with less than 37 notes is an abomination, and that's from a guitar player :headbang:

Finally taking this recording lark seriously (and recording my Gypsy Jazz CD)........
Re: Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
something as cheerful as that and it uses grey patch chords? Now that's a fashion faux pas.

It's $899 - I'm beginning to think that Uli Behringer's marketing approach is right after all :headbang:
You could buy TWO of his Minimoog clones for less than that! :o

Re: Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
Only one envelope generator? Yes I know it's (semi) modular so I could add one from somewhere else, but I'd still want at least two EGs built-in on a synth. And how modular is semi-modular? The limited access to the signal path on the original Korg MS20 seriously limited what could be done on it without the addition of the completely modular MS50.

I think it looks great, and I'm also delighted at the fact that it has a built-in spring reverb.

Re: Moog Grandmother - - thoughts?
To be fair to Moog, that's less than I might have imagined. But I will correct you, Martin, in that you could actually buy THREE Behringer MiniMoog clones for that money, with change over for a cup of coffee!Martin Walker wrote:It's $899 - I'm beginning to think that Uli Behringer's marketing approach is right after all :headbang:The Elf wrote:Bob would never have allowed it.

Now if you swap two of those Mini clones for Behringer's soon-to-be Pro-One and SH-101 clones (I'm making assumptions that Berry's prices for these will be comparable to the Model D...) you're into 'no competition' territory.
If Moog are going to ride this storm, and charge a premium price for their products, then they HAVE to give us premium features, and short keyboards, external PSUs and plastic cases aren't going to cut it. Sorry.
And I speak as one who wants Moog to prosper...
