Don't know if this is a life changing deal, but dealers tend not to do big cuts on new Moog stuff. Stupid deal of the day is the Moog Slim Phatty synth module (no keys) for $449, which is about $150 off the next best price, and cheaper than some used. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid

This leads me to believe that they are clearing stock in preparation for a new model or something come NAMM. Musiciansfriend tends to be good at knowing whats coming and clearing stock.

Here's a leaked image of the replacement

Hi-Res version

$600 (or $510 after the retailer's roughly 15% off)
Looks like a euro rack compatible singly oscillator mono-synth.

Anyone torn down the knob and jack functions yet to have a decent guess whether it's much more than a deluxe Werkstatt? Not that's necessarily a problem, but curious to know where it fits in.

It has a sequencer, so that is a plus.

Single osc with pwm and FM, filter, and env/vca...looks like something to compete with the korg ms tabletop and an expansion of the werkstat to me.

Awesome for the price kinda figuring that the cluster flux goes for near 500...

Actually, those look pretty cool.


assume it is something like that?

[resincum]

would love to play with one I'm a sucker for binaural beats

[lordgalvar]

A long time ago I was really into that stuff too but I just looked at them as cheap sound sources for pedals I guess. Was also always interested in those Radel (I think) tabala drum machine things.

Never pulled the trigger though.

Are there any demos anywhere? I'm thinking they'd make a really good sound source for drones

I'm thinking they are pretty stock, stable oscillator meant to be set on specific frequencies (that are for specific things...like to help fight fatigue, help calmness etc.). The sweep generator is problably like an LFO to slowly change the overall oscillation (like a frequency generator in electronics test equipment). I think these things go very low and almost outside the realm of hearing. They have a white noise generator too. It seems like youtube and computers have taken over for these old machines.

My thinking is that they would be good to mix with another sound or to modulate another sound. At least one of them has an input which I think will either pass through or slightly mix with the oscillation 9for the addition of nature sounds or something). It would probably be really good to just give fullness and as a set peice while you mess with other drones...but a good LFO and oscillator would essentially do the same thing (which maybe less range because it is tuned for music more than "healing").



is an example...but it is basicually a stable oscillator that is modulated.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah it's pretty basic stuff.
