April fools?

I'd rather get a micromoog for around 500 usd.

Semtek said...

Nice :-) it really is April 1 then.

Axel said...

Despite the calendar date and the odd
photoshop job, a somewhat 99% reissue of the original Minimoog would IMHO be the coolest thing Moog could do with all the simulations out there and that half-hearted Voyager OS retro thing...

Jared said...

Given the fad of the single oscillator sound there might been a market for this in hip hop a few years ago.

stretta said...

Too many keys.

John said...

I'd take one.

Jared said...

A far better product would have been a MaxiMoog ST, where all the dials go to 11.

(ST = Spinal Tap, of course)

Auris said...

Can't say I or anyone I know would buy somthing like that. This has to be a joke.

Axel said...

Agreed... or larger footwidths at the osc... there is a video on youtube demonstrating a 128' pipe organ register, very funny.

> Too many keys.

Not if they're microkorg-sized keys.

Dave said...

April Moogs everybody....

Jon said...

42 keys, G - C...ties into the 42 all over the Moog site with the guitar thingy...

John said...

I guess I'm the only one who would buy this.

myle said...

i actually could see the value in this. if it had voltage control outputs and you paired it with moogerfoogers you could effectively have a modular synth.

tomswift said...

I would so buy one of these @ around $500ish. I have always wanted a moog.

Too bad it's april fools day.

I'm still waiting for the SMS 2000.

John said...

I'd buy it even at $700...since most of the one osc synths that are good and vintage are $550-700 on ebay anyway.
