It is not confirmed oficially, but semiofficially - its true, I just spoke to moog guys in superB24 and they said it is going to happen some soon. “But I never told you that” Hooray, finally moog steps into Don Buchla’s area with their acceptionally owesome VCOs filters and increddible VCAs.
It's great to see these more experimental synths from Moog. But what I would really love to hear about: do you know anything about the new 8V Polysynth "Moog Muse"? I was so much looking forward to Superbooth, just to get some new information about it, a release date, anything. And I am really disappointed that there seems nothing...
Pittsburgh really have their own sound though.. Real gummy and nothing like moog.. the voltage lab is something else entirely.. it is two grand.. different price segment and much much much more delicious if you can afford it.. it really is a complete workstation instrument in a way these are just not really.
I just love they're releasing brand new synths. Moog keep innovating and hopefully with the fresh funds the Mirror and these new Eurorack synths are just the beginning.
That looks cool. Based on the image, I think the sequencers are like Turing Machine. The "Chain seq" button suggests that maybe the 8 bits are pages. The corrupt knob will randomly turn bits on or off. There's a knob on the VCO to scale the sequencer CV. at far left it says quantize. So it would be a four note sequencer. Both off, or some combination of them on. It looks like EG1 is decay only and normalled to pitch. You can route it to the VCO, LFO, Folder, VCF with attenuverters. There's also a decay only EG2 that seems normalled to the VCA. It think you'll be able to get both cool percussion and slow drones with this out of the box, and all sorts of stuff when combined with external gear. This is a lot more interesting to me than Spectravox. Thanks for the video and especially the image of the panel.
Labyrinth + Spectravox are a two punch combo to the cloners. This is how a trail setter company of Moog's stature should operate - look forward and keep innovating.
That 'two punch combo' will do zero damage to the cloners. In fact, I just see two more units for the cloners to manufacture. I wonder what they'll call them and what colour they'll be....
Really excited to see that they are still designing new synths in the semi-modular format. I really enjoy them as a whole. Both the Spectravox and the Labyrith is on my most wanted list.
If you bought the clones before the inMusic acquisition, you're an asshole who helped destroy the company. If you buy the clones now, have fun patching!
Looking over the patch bay, why is there no VCO Output? Only the modulation oscillator gets a dedicated out to patch around the synth? That seems like a massive oversight for a semimodular synth, especially when all of Moog's other semimodular synths have raw VCO outputs, per waveform in some cases.
i'm beginning to like the names they invent for these little semi modular surprises. First it was all Mothers, come to mammy for a warm familiar hug. Now it's Labyrinth. Well you want to get away from home? Westcoast baby? Mother can't help you now, you'll have to get out of that Labyrinth all by yourself. Can't say i didn't warn ye, hahaha. A remarkable development, Tiger, and thank you for telling. Truly hoping for some in depth musical demos on the Moog Spectravox and Labyrinth. Meanwhile patiently waiting for the Behringer Spice to arrive.
I love what Moog is doing with all of these synths, they're special and quite different from everything else. Too bad everything's mono output and most are without midi. I'm very excited for this one. The just released Spectravox looks really interesting to me too, but this one... wayyyyyyy more!
This Moog has MIDI. All the semi-modular have MIDI, except the DFAM and now Specravox. Unless you are including the "DIY" Werkstatt-01 and Mavis. I don't include them in the Moog semi-modular line. Is there really any point to having analog synthesis in stereo? You can always create a stereo field in post. Also, if you record with a band, all instruments are recorded mono, even the 6 to 8 drum tracks. It's afterward, usually, that a stereo field is created. I've always been confused about why people want synths to naturally be stereo. Is it for performing live? Am I missing something..?
Been researching this thing for the past day or two trying to see what people know about it. I already have the Dfam, m32, and subharmonicon. Trying to decide if I want to continue buying these or not
Hopefully we will start to see synths with multiple filter options to choose from ...including crazy stuff from Eurorack World.....with series and parallel options for everything.
I’m looking forward to seeing someone demo this. Does it check boxes that the Pittsburgh Mod Taiga misses? Pittsburgh has been mixing West Coast influences for a long time and their oscillators are great. Taiga matches the Moog 60 hp format too.
@@wurlinnawurl Will it in this instrument? Moog sound is attributed to its ladder filter with its steep curve. Oscillators are powerful because its limited to basic waveshapes. If this is West Coast inspired will it have the iconic filter? Not sure if the Moog “sound” will survive the translation. Looking forward to the reviews. I wouldn’t describe Pittsburgh sound as gummy. They are really interested in inbetween sounds rather than basic waveforms and their low pass gates produce a different sound than Moog. But if you run their oscillators through a ladder filter you can get as big and snappy a sound as your traditional Moog. The bandpass filter is welcome. Is there reverb?
I will pay $599-$799 for this but I do not feel the same about the Spectravox. They tried to put Subharmonicon pricing on it and I feel that’s a mistake.
Sounds more interesting to me than the Spectravox and I've been pondering something to pair up with a Subharmonicon other than the Mother-32 and DFAM, so at least Moog is offering more affordable options that aren't DIY.
Unpopular statement incoming: the reason behringer keeps getting away with cloning moog gear is that moog has been relying on it's classic sound (very old and repeatedly copied circuits) to sell a form factor. Now for the hopefully less controversial take: innovation will likely solve moogs ip protection problem.
Thought it might be related to inmusic buying Moog, but their brands don’t exactly scream West Coast sound. Pittsburg Modular and Cre8Audio do the west coast stuff, but Moog venturing into WC is pretty big but then it’s not classic Moog. Oh well it’s all fun an$ games I guess.
8 steps (sometimes 4 steps, or even 5 steps) are pretty common for this type of instrument. and, it's dual so by running two seqs in different lengths such as 7 and 5 one can achieve highly interesting sequences. else, there is MIDI.
what is interesting is that this isn't what you talked about the other day with the vocoder-esk synth (the harp girl, no clue what shes actually called has done a vid with that one, i watched last night) when moog was taken over there was so much fear over what it would mean for the company but they seem to still be ok. it don't seem to have effected much unless quality has change maybe
It could also be that they're just clearing the product pipelines. The Subharmonicon and the Spectravox (and even to an extent the Mavis) were demo'd in prototype form years before release, which gives you an idea of the length of product development. My fear is Moog will follow the path of E-mu which went from once producing star sponsored products like the Emulator2 to selling re-branded plastic keyboards after being taken over.
@@Alan_Watkin Their latest products are really niche of niche, you'd need to have a serious sound design fetish to consider buying this. As an independent boutique manufacturer Moog could continue with low volume/high markup products, but as a profit & loss column on a big corporate spreadsheet it can't.
@@Tiger.Arcade idk. I haven’t looked into it or heard about it. So maybe but it doesn’t look right to me. But I guess I could see them coming out with 3 new semi Modulars to go with the original ss3 Ok I see the photos on synthtopia now. Hmmm very intriguing.
This Moog has MIDI. All have MIDI except the DFAM and now Specravox. Unless you include the "DIY" Werkstatt-01 and Mavis in the semi-modular line. I don't include them in the Moog semi-modular line.
