MOOG ONE

Postby Quai34 » 05 Oct 2018, 09:22

So, I'm guessing now it won't be anymore Stage 2EX versus Stage 3 but Stage 3 + Sequential Prophet X versus Moog One:
Stage 3 4000$ + Prophet X 4000$ = Moog One 8000$
Is it me or am I alone thinking that the price of Polysynth is getting crazy?
Well, it's a real beast but man, 8000$!!!! I'm glad there is still a Rev 2 for 2000$ or a used P08 for 1000$...The P12 I got for 2700$ CAN = 2000 USD was a steal in fact...

Makes the Stage 3 seem like a bargain!

Crazy?

Check out prices for a vintage Memorymoog with a late Lintronics upgrade. ;-)

No, but somewhat northwards of 10,000€ seems to be realistic.

The Moog One is offered in two versions: the 8-voice Moog One is priced at $5,999 and the 16-voice Moog One is priced at $7,999. Both offer synthesis capabilities not found in any previous Moog keyboard.

See also https://www.soundonsound.com/news/birth-moog-one for a very detailed background story.

I was reading the page about the 40th anniversary of the Prophet 5 https://www.sequential.com/2018/08/sequential-celebrates-prophet-5-40th-anniversary/ and a sentence captured my attention:

"Manufactured from 1978 to 1984 with an initial price of $3995 (about $15,000 in today’s dollars)"

Of course things have changed pretty much in 40 years, but sometimes it is good to recall how much the synths used to cost, compared to that the Moog One is of course not cheap but neither so "incredibly" expensive or overpriced, just... very expensive. ;)

Did you just call the Jupiter 8 a "mediocre analog poly"?

Wow. :-D

I have to agree, though: The ONE basically redefines the high-end professional analogue polysynth market.

It is not a "luxury" keyboard. It is a professional tool, and it's a helluva piece of kit.

I doubt that it will have quite the rough and massive, violent charm of a vintage Memorymoog, but it's going to be the touring and backline poly for anything "moogy" and a lot more.

I'm really looking forward to trying it. It's not going to replace my Lintronics Memorymoog, but I'm glad that this machine exists.

I’ve been dealing with Moog’s customer service for years (no exaggeration) trying to get them to replace the main board in my Voyager Select with a non-defective one. They replaced it once with another board in a series that they knew had bad components. Now it’s back with Moog, who told me in September they had replacement boards in stock, but now say that none are “currently available.”)

I would wait to see whether this dog hunts before I bought one. I will not be taking the chance unless a whole lot of people say they’re happy with it.
