The NAMM Winter Show for 2013 runs from January 24-27 and will showcase the best in music technology. We won’t be there, but will try to cover the coolest tech-focused music production gear coming out of the show.
The question in 1993 was ‘why would you want a two-oscillator analog synth’ … but in 2013 there isn’t even a question anymore, you simply NEED this sound! Regardless of advances in digital simulated, the Moog Filter sound has a depth that cannot be emulated as well as the original instrument. So when leaks came about Moog introducing a new affordable analog synth, interest was high!
And Moog didn’t disappoint, delivering details today on the new two-oscillator synthesizer will be Moog’s most affordable keyboard synth, at $999.

?‘Vintage’ Moog sound
