So it's just a fancy Organelle?

That's what it looks like to me. Less toy like than the Organelle for sure

This really is going to be on hundreds of scores over the next decade.

i think they are similar yes but also not. different dsp environments?
organelle = pure data
norns = super collider?? + whatever LUA is?

not to mention that the patches will be totally different, so prolly not really the same at all functionally/musically.

Oh definitely different environments and different functionality, but the basic idea of a musical computer that plays different patches is pretty similar. Also, not saying that's a bad thing or they're trying to steal the idea or anything. I'd probably prefer Norns by far as I love the look of their grid and the Organelle felt a little too toy like when I owned one.

oh ya def didn't think u or anybody was.

just thought the deets were kinda hazy
i basically had to scroll thru like a 1000 post thread
to unravel it and i'm still not too clear on aspects.

got a soft spot for the grids too.

No mention of the Behringer attack of the clones yet?

I'm waiting for Behringer's Revenge of the Synth.

This is the dystopia we were warned about.

[AlexanderPedals]

I mean, premium synths seem like a hard pill to swallow, but add up all that eurorack and it quickly seems more attainable.

Also, that Alexander drive pedal is....yeeesh. I'll be nice and say "it isn't for me".

That's okay, I made it for me.

Next week we will announce a brand-new synthesizer and the first place to see, hear, and play it will be here at Moogfest.

I spoke with someone earlier today, whom I think has gotten a sneak preview of it, and he mentioned it was something to keep an eye on. I was hoping it would debut at Superbooth, but I guess we'll have to wait an additional two weeks.

Last year, a couple of Moog reps talked about the JUCE platform at a conference and how it was impacting their current approach. I'm curious to see if it's a hybrid (digital poly with analog filters) or perhaps a deeper analog synth with an ambitious amount of digital control. Based on emerging technology and Moog's recent voyages into the iOS realm, I think many synth watchers are expecting a departure from previous Moog offerings. Will we see the first major flagship synth with MPE?

the voice of that rainger fx guy makes me hungry.

I dig it but would like a bass demo.

I dug the whole back-to-the-futurity of it all; all the moreso in this one:
