Hmm! That can't be good. Actually I really hadn't tried one out. I may have jumped to conclusions. Actually the main thing I don't like about the Voyager is it's too expensive. Rangeing in price form $2695 to $3000. Moog just released there Anaversiry Edition for $3000.00. Which I think is outrageous. I'm not crtizieing Dr. Moog I think he has done some fantastic stuff. But it's interesting to note that he is still building VC components in the digital age. Albeit VCO's that are more stable. I am even finding the moogerfooger peadles on ebay as well. The other reason is becuse there are a lot of synths and pedals on the market that are a lot cheaper then what Moog is makeing. Plus the major three companies have been in continous business since they started. Where as Moog Music had been out of business for almost two decades. I think the best way for Moog to compete in todays market is too make a more affordable instrument. The same way Dave Smith and Roger Linn do with there instruments. The Evolver and Adrenalinn 1 and 2. Both are under $1,000.00. The Evolver at $475.00 and the Adrenalinn II at $499.00. Eevn though they are modules, not keyboard synths.

Maybe if Moog had test marketed the Voyager and asked people what they wanted, we would probably see fewer of them for sale on ebay. Who knows maybe someday they will gain in popularity like the orginal mini. Granted the new mini can save patches and has MIDI and that touch plate, but not some of the sam charateristics as the orginal. Maybe Moog should have devloped a totaly new synth, instead of trying to re-make the Minimoog. But that's just my opinion. If I were Dr. Moog I would have designed a slightly more affordable synth, but that's just me. Maybe something along the lines like Korg's New Legacy Colletion. Virtual effects plug-ins with MS-20 Controller. Where they Brought the MS-20 back as a keyboard controller for use with the virtual synths. Which contain software versions of the MS-20, Polysix and Wavestation. Which even features native suport for the microKontrol. For a complete music system. This sort of thing I could have seen done with the Minimoog. Where the Mini was made into a controller and had virtual versions of the orginal minimoog and one or two other Moog synths. I would like too see how well the Korg Legacy colletion does on the open market.


Yea, he did help But my therad was not just about what happend to me. I just wanted to get a conversation about the internet in general going. I probably could have phrased my topic better.
