[mccreature]

This is why I cry because I'm poor.

[OrbinOz]

[fearthefallen]

3:00 --- BEAUTIFUL

[nofiction]

I´m in love, and i just have to have it..i´ll save...

[holaemga12]

biath

[FRB1420]

Did anyone else see his band-aid at 3:10? Someone was spinning the cutoff too fast...

[RoboticusMusic]

FAKE LOOK IT'S PLASTIC!

[FRB1420]

Dear Santa.....

[DikSammer]

This is not music, it's alchemy.

[thebanez]

i have no idea what half of the stuff does...but i want it all! prob over $100,000 in that room

[Teutonic1250]

APHEX TWIN. ANGELS AND AIRWAVES

[miroberlinberlin]

polyphon?! 00:51

[FRB1420]

@miroberlinberlin It's only acting as a MIDI controller. Those sounds aren't actually from the MiniMoog - they're probably from some program or something. So it can control polyphonically, but the actual synth can only play monophonically.

[bountykiller91]

If I Would Have money... :-)

[Lemure333]

Is there no light source behind the dials? This would suck if true...

All of my gear has enough lighting behind the lcd's and knobs so I don't have to use "ugly lights". I just can't seem to find any vids or pics with back lights...

[xkleenexk]

@Lemure333 there arent any..just get a light and clip it to the top

[plasmaforce11]

2:00 i can see this being a wide sonic palette fro many artists! :D

[sapslaj]

I got to go in there today... When I started playing the Voyager XL, I realized I had touched God.

[kofianonym]

this heaven is were hope to go to when i die.....

[lukuntri]

what does that left side do i am good at Minimoogs but not good at modular stuff.

[NosferatuAaacaado]

What's that white stuff on my monitor?

[lukuntri]

is it polyphonic?

[paperpichu]

@lukuntri Sadly no

[BuyBenco]

Can this create an organ sound well? Want a brand new ANALOG organ but there aren't any brands selling electronic organs that have analog technology for the unique rich sound

[ubersponge]

@BuyBenco This isn't an organ its a monophonic synth :(. you might just have to suck it up and go digital :(

[sacredgeometry]

@BuyBenco Most polyphonic synths can make an organ sound, but if you want an emulation you will have to go digital. Btw using words like "unique" and "rich" are buzzwords which mean next to nothing.

[psynapsurfa]

would this go well with my casiotone soundbank, fully poly sick synthomejigga....

i seriously doubt that it would even come close..

so, i wont need to be finding $5k then...

[lucadepu]

DO WANT

[xpjv]

MONOPHONIC....... - thats it. I'd rather prefer polyphonic! ...with more functions, like vocoder, sample playback, real choir vocoding etc. But this one is so limited - My V Synth Gt has way more functions then this one -"kids entertainer"

[4Esoteric4Dolphana4]

Hey...Where is this room located O.o?

*Pulls out a tire iron for lock/door breaking*

[TheGaetanomariadigio]

Old minimoog is a other thing...

[tionik06]

can this make sounds from the current century?

[zenocomplex]

@tionik06 not trying to avoid answering the question, but my answer is this: if you make the sounds, they become the sounds of this century.

[Moog168]

@tionik06 The Minimoog is the reason why the sounds from this century exist.....SOOO Many keyboardists in the R&B realm especially use this for Synth Bass

[MuteRevised]

It's monophonic, but you can set other oscillators to different pitch values, for example, OSC1 would play a perfect fifth above the played note. All that monophonic means is that it can only interpret one note at a time.

[bligstar]

Is it finally polyphonic or is at also monophonic? because on the Moog web-site it says that its monophonic, but here guy is playin' chords on it... im totally confused now

[Tibbon]

@bligstar Monophonic.

[elefantkaputt]

@Tibbon how can he then play chords on it?

[RADIOKLOW]

Brilliant and infinitely opened to sound creation as every time Moog produces a new instrument ! Congratulations, Bob Moog would have just loved it !

[phantobass]

why is this guy playing a chord on a monophonic instrument?

[kreeper6]

@phantobass

Look closer

[KaslarProductions]

Is that polyfuckingphonic minimoog?!?!

holy hell

[gareebee]

I suppose if I were wealthy, it would make my keyboard stack look cooler...

[doom705]

omg i want!!!!!! :P

[Neuron7777777]

Nice work from the Mad Scientists at Moog !!! I have a Voyager & Etherwave Pro and love them. The backlighting makes it the most beautiful stage synth ever. Why don't you backlight the XL? Also an internal effects section might be one of the best things you could include. ~ Thanks

[hafstrat]

kin awesome!!!!!!!

[DavesTrumpet]

1:56 - A classic Raymond Scott sound!

[SPAZZOID100]

Very nice synth!

BUT--a 5 octave synth that is only monophonic???

When is Moog Music going to design a polyphonic synth? We want the moog sound, but we want to play CHORDS with it.

[DocRobotKey]

With ARP long gone, only MOOG is still here to carry forward the rich analog synthesizer sound that defined music during the 60's, 70's and 80's.

With addition of modern MOOG synthesizers like the new Voyager XL and the integration of Moog Apps on Cell Phones, we have all the tools we need to express ourselves tonally in a world where we are now only limited by our experiences, emotions and imaginations!

I can't wait to hear the new music and sounds we can now create with these amazing tools!

[ElasticMinds]

@DocRobotKey Id love to have a new Arp 2600. or an old one if i can find one for a price that I can afford. To me analog will forever have a place in music, even though digital also has its place, having spent years with it, its still something I cant fully warm up to

[kadekbalian]

these introductory videos nowadays never feature anything musically adequate, it's usually some glitchy tweaky distorting nonsense showing off the modulation capabilities and what not..

but man, I think that tune from 3:00 is actually dope as hell, if the guy would tighten up that beat and cut the whole thing to vinyl I'd play that tune!

[santiagoeag]

the first back song it's was made for the demo?

[mrbusters]

@santiagoeag The first back song it's was made.....WHAT?

[willyraccoons]

1:05 is he playing polyphonically ??

[xnonsuchx]

@willyraccoons - Playing another poly synth using it as a controller, yes.

[Pianodrum95]

moog is a great firm!!!!

[shaft9000]

As fixed-arch synths go - it's positively *DELUXE*

But it's not modular... just like a 2600 or M5 is not. Rather; it is patchable.

The XL doesn't quite get there, though - a 2600 has independent osc output waves and flexible FM, hi/lo freq per osc and has a full Sample& Hold.; Voyagers are quite limited in that regard and many others, at least compared to a 2600 - let alone a full modular synth. But still the V's an easy path to many fat sounds!! My voyagerOS isn't leaving me anytime soon :).

[musicman7478]

Awesome! I only wish that Moog would do a polyphonic synth as well.

[VladtheEmailer]

@musicman7478 Yes! Agreed! I wish they would do a mini-moog that was polyphonic.

[ThynkTV]

One of those things in the back is called the Abominatron! I've demoed it to tons of people, and played with it a ton. So cool.

[cardinalvincent]

ok, drowning in my own drool here.

[DjPuzzle73]

I would live and die in that room.

[xXiN5aNeXx]

WANT WANT WANT!!!!

[64mung]

MOOG changed the sound of music forever!! Thank you Bob :)

Cool demo and video!

64m >:-)

[216trixie]

 Some moog sounds are musical, i guess.

[RRKS69]

Can I trade in my Voyager?

[RRKS69]

RIBBON!!!

[AgoAnselmo]

FINALLY!!!

A video of the best (non-modular...even if it is a little :D) synth ever!! :P

[WeirdRicky]

Really amazing keyboard but... I will need to sell my house, my car and my underwear to get it :)

[danwentz]

Analog heaven achieved

[archebeats]

The hole place looks like jewelry, I imagie some random (ham)burglar getting inside that pplace and he'll be like "what the hell is this place" but if we as people who have soundgasms with this things is like nirvana...

[MrAndromedean]

and what kind of filters?

[shonuffLA]

sounds so nice ehhh hopefully they make an inexpensive vst

[xnonsuchx]

@shonuffLA - Moog is about the pure sound...not roughly emulated approximations. They have VST editors, I think, though.

[SPAZZOID100]

@shonuffLA

VST's suck

[mrcoping1]

nice ..come on lottery.

[OnCall101Villa]

a new car or a voyager?

hmmm....

[maxauto44e]

*drools uncontrollably*

[Rhythmicons]

If you buy one, you get a free Moog backbrace. That would be hillarious.

[thebigmanbosss]

Very exited!

[PickledYoshi]

Electric dreams man... electric dreams.

[flyblu80]

ElectronicS Please..

[bruhluuh]

Oh yezzrrr!

[Geeljasjes]

Polyphony please!!!!!!!

[SPAZZOID100]

@Geeljasjes

YES! What is all this mono stuff? it's 2011 already

[ardubbleyu]

@Geeljasjes - When I registered my LP, I asked them when they were going to release a poly. I (and the rest of us) are still waiting. C'mon Moog - is there one in the pipeline?

[synthlab]

It is really a great synth, but, unfortunately, too expensive for most musicians.



[dland95]

I wish I had the money for one of these things.
