what should moog release next?
we all want them to release something
so vote
and then post to explain your choice (if you want to)
if you choose a fooger say what kind you want.

I submitted a similar suggestion to Mike Adams a while back. My version didn't include the filter since you can already get that as a MF-101. Also, I suggested that the VCA should be DC-coupled to allow CV's to be shaped as well as audio frequencies. Although my original packaging concept was similar (using the 251/351 form factor), I suggested a rack mount package might be the better choice for two reasons:
1. I didn't think they could cram all the electronics into a small box without a lot of redesign (to keep the price down).
2. I didn't think that a 'wall wart' power supply would be sufficient to power the electronics, meaning that a more robust power supply might be needed, and therefore a bigger box.
But hey - I like your MoogerFooger concept, too. I hope that the folks at Moog are busy on this - whatever it turns out to be. Having an extra oscillator that doubles as an LFO, along with another VCA/EG would be a VERY nice way to further expand the Voyager's capabilities.
I'd buy it!

thanks guys
hmm i should have put the tg451 as choice
but in many ways it compiles most of the choices
- more affordable synth- yep (add cp 251 and keyboard to make an awsome synth)
- vocoder- nope
- drum machine- yep (combine multiple units and a sequencer)
- modular- yep (combine multiple units with other moog gear)
- mf style- nope
- cp 251 style- yep
- selfcontained poly synth- nope, but using multiple units you could build up an awsome polysynth

Seems that our basic ideas address the items that are currently missing from existing MF products, namely Oscillators, ADSR-type EG's and VCA's.
If Moog Music developed a product that was both an affordable mono-synth (non-keyboard) and Voyager expander offering MIDI and CV capabilities, they would have a product appealling to current Voyager owners and anyone looking to add a bit of the Moog sound to their gear. Don't know if it's possible to combine these two goals while keeping the price to something reasonable, though.
Of course, their next offering could be something that no one has thought of. For example, who could have imagined the MuRF?
Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to finding out...

This is what I'm hoping for. I think all this talk of modulars is a step backwards. There are already so many great new modulars out there already, you can already buy Moog modular reissues! Moog should be doing what they've always done...pushing the envelope!
drum machine is my vote.
i elaborated on this in a previous thread. something that would challenge a
tr-909, be analog, and offer tweakability similar to Vermona's box, but include CV, a step-sequencer (or not), and um....the imagination and unpredictable ingenuity, build quality of Moogmusic. A legendary piece to astonish and inspire us all to do astonishing and inspiring things.
but I also vote for the unpredictable. i think the modular thing is being carried out through the Foogers, cp251 and vx351. And I like the idea of a Vocoder. I'd also like to see new types of controllers out from Moog (with good build quality).

A Taurus I module with patch-memory ??? The German firm MAM (see the link: [/url]http://www.mam-germany.de/ )
planned to it back in 2002 but they are now with Terratec and their Sine series of modules ( former MAM )
