In their presentation, Bevin and Gaynes are careful not to reveal anything about the upcoming Moog synthesizer hardware that they’re working on.
But they talk specifically about creating a user interface for a hardware synth; using shallow navigation in hardware UI’s; examples of devices, like NI’s Maschine, that combine knobs with rich graphical UI’s; and when to use dedicated hardware controls.
All of which suggests that Moog is working on a new synthesizer that will look very different than its predecessors.
Korg reps have discussed the impending announcement of a new synth for NAMM on multiple podcasts. (briefly mentioned in a few threads) I think the general speculation is hybrid synth with a few new wrinkles. (digital with analog filtering) Although several people are hoping for a 'Maxilogue'.

The new synth is supposed to bring something new to the game. Of course all synths bring something new, but KORG is teasing at something akin to "mind blowing". The name will be eight letters long, start with the letter "P", and apparently will have numbers in it as well. Some are guessing it might be a Poly8000. That could imply a more-than-4-voice poly digital analog hybrid.

Joel has been in the UK for the past week, so perhaps he is doing some advanced promotional work.

I can't find the words to describe these last couple days. All sorts of feels in all the directions. I can't wait to show you guys what we're up to over here. @realworldstudios is a dream.
Alexander Pedals is also teasing a new project.
