Moog One: Sound Designer - Part 5 (Live from The Moog Factory) 

I agree, Oberheim was just as great and Yamaha Had the fantastic Cs-80. This synth however is perhaps the greatest of all time!

Kkidzz Wish he still produced the Two Voice Pro....maybe he will come out with something this year at winter NAMM.

I totally can agree lol my wife always is like wtf are you watching lol

U guys not alone lol

ahahahaha

Joseph Christopher yeah, and the vintage king demo is cool as well.

Timothe Catlin yes it is!!

SynthgodXXX kind of wish it had a ribbon as well.

Made In Machines and indeed, modular systems allow one to do exactly such a thing for just the price of a few hundred dollars for those modules!

It will always sound like this (not great), it's the modern Moog sound.

I guess I know :/ Well I hope someone manage to keep their other lovely synths and get this One so we can hear some comparisons!

James Reeno Maybe. But with any synth that you spend time using, you will grow. If not. then use a Preset synth and don't waste your time on a synth that can expand your knowledge and imagination. This instrument is a potential powerhouse that can only get better.

thanks for the time tag!

Perhaps he meant current instruments. :)

but Sean, my A6 currently works just fine...;-) well, one voice is unruly , but I just disable it and carry on with 15 voices (one of the nice things about a synth with more voices than a man's got fingers)

The price is reflective of what you get. The Prophet 6 and OB-6 are nice but are very much scaled down in comparison - as are most other analog synths. This is one of those rare 'no corners cut' products.

MrMarco33333 The top Dave Smith synths don’t strike me as a “corner cuts” synths in terms of features and sound. If we go into the “ scaled down” direction, then every analog synth is scaled down in comparison to the modular builds. I agree that the Moog One is the new king of mobile analog synths. Better than them all may be? Sometimes that’s a matter of personal taste. I love Moog and my Sub 37. Time will show if they got the price right for this one. So far, from what I’ve seen and heard, the price seem a little arrogant .

Scriabin Bartok As an original owner of a Prophet 5 Rev 3.2, Flagship synths are always expensive. It takes a lot of money for R&D. A company makes a huge investment developing a new high end synth.Moog has to recover their investment, cover production costs, payroll, and other overhead before they even get a dollar back from sales. Costs continue as an instrument is brought to market. Spare parts for warranty, pay for tech support, and upgrading their flagship as time goes on in order to keep current. Comparing this synth to some of the scaled down synths is interesting. I read a review of a guy that bought the Prophet Rev 2 16 voice. Sells for 1999.00. It sounds OK, but the build quality is not all that great. The guy that reviewed it said the Pots were cheesy and the reverb was a joke. Go one step further down the ladder and you get a Behringer. Junk. Don't bother. If we can't afford the Moog one, we have to compromise to fit our wallet.

Likely Yes. Daniel Fishers Sweetwater ‘deep dive’ he goes over the global options and mentions the knob tracking mode (suggesting there is a takeover mode). Also sorry to hear you think this instrument is too complex and you avoid layering sounds. I might recommend the Yamaha PSR series keyboards for its low complexity / layering capabilities.

Made In Machines highly doubt you’ll get lost in this thing. They designed it to be able to see everything going on and efficiently be able to control everything. Just like patches, you should know what is creating your sound and know how and where to change it.

A. Brixx I promise you I do no sniffles but I radiate weird vibes.

He feels alot of "base" energy...

There's a lot of hidden shift in that machine

Nick Herman The PAN is going to be great! Hope he does a poly version.
