Well, we know at least three Korg Quadra's would sell!
I can't imagine someone doesn't already have this on the drawing board somewhere....

Ready for pickup with mini keys.
Now that hurt.

Well, I don't need mini. But I wouldn't mind sticking this one on my fridge.

The Moog guitar is the only polyphonic Moog I ever expect to see.

Only one filter though, does that make it paraphonic ;)

No, since each string has it's own envelope.  ;)

I'm must admit I'm not sure thats true, unless mine is bust!

To me the envelope follower seems to be run from the mixed signal of all the strings.

What's next for Moog, in light of the discontinuation of the Model D?  Will nothing fill the vacuum between the Subsequent and the giant Voyager XL?  How about a regular-sized Voyager Mk II?

Probably what we already speculated about in another thread: http://www.matrixsynth.com/2017/11/new-moog-synth-geert-bevin-amos-gaynes.html

No-one knows what it's going to be, whether it'll be a true hybrid synth or just digitally controlled with a new big screen in the middle and multi-functional knobs (only the latter is pretty much a given according to the presentation).

I'm sure it'll be announced at Moogfest in May.

Certainly a different creature, and not what I was hoping for.

Actually the "vacuum" now is between the Subsequent 37 and their ultra expensive Modular rigs... there are no Voyagers currently in production, and the Model D is coming to a close so... that's a huge vacuum... like space itself.

Isn't the Voyager XL still in production?  Perhaps I'm just seeing the leftovers on the websites.

Nope... Just leftover units that have yet to sell (Of which I snagged one).  :)

Well, nothing can be said yet, except for it probably having a different front panel look. Voyager XLs and Minimoogs won't sell out so quickly, as they're quite expensive, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are still some available in a year or so.

No Doubt.  It isn't an impulse buy for most people, that is for certain.

Also, don't forget that these synths are nowhere as "cheap" as in the US. As a comparison: The Minimoog Reissue costs the equivalent of $4,840, and the Two Voice Pro the equivalent of $5,459 (all based on today's exchange rate).

Yeah. I bought a new, unopened, Little Phatty over a year after the Little Phatty was discontinued in mid-2013, and it was still possible to buy a new one at least into 2015. At this point, prices were drastically discounted (I got mine for $700 USD), probably because the Sub 37 Tribute was available. I imagine (but have no first-hand knowledge) that dealers would be annoyed at having their stock suddenly become unprofitable, which might partially explain why Moog isn't rushing out a Voyager/Model D replacement. Not only are these things still available, but they haven't been discounted like the LP was.

Maybe you can get the new Waldorf cheaper!  :)

The Quantum won't be cheap on any side of the Atlantic. Maybe in 5-10 years. But I will definitely play it again at Superbooth in the beginning of May.

Wow. You have an XL?  I'm impressed.  I couldn't even dream that big!
