Three new Moog synths coming in 12 months says Moog President

>I know that in the next 12 months there are going to be two, possibly three more Moog synthesizers, all of which are unique to themselves and unique to anything we’ve done in the past. - Moog President Joe Richardson

Music room nearing final form! Looking for Fx pedal recommendations

Currently using a zoom ms-70 cdr+ and don’t love it.
Also, do I need a DI box?

Prophet 5/10 vs Trigon-6 — for people who have owned or seriously played both: which one would you actually keep?

I’m trying to make a final decision between the Prophet 5/10 and the Trigon-6.
I already know the specs, the feature differences, and the general character of both instruments. On paper, I understand what each one offers.
What I’m looking for is not a spec comparison, but real-world experience from people who have actually spent time with both.
If you had to keep only one of them, which one would you personally choose — and why?
I’m especially interested in things like:
which one feels more inspiring long-term;
which one you actually reach for more often;
which one sits better in a track;
whether the Prophet 5/10’s character feels more “special” over time;
or whether the Trigon-6 feels more complete and flexible as a main polysynth.
My budget only allows me to buy one, and at this point it honestly feels like a coin toss.
I’d really appreciate thoughts from owners or people who have had serious hands-on time with both.

Can anyone identify this Moog?

I don’t see it on their website and no one answered me in the comment section of the video.

Edit: thanks everyone! It is the Moog Little Phatty.

I've reverse-engineered the ZDL file format

Hey community,

I’ve built a toolchain for developing custom effects for the MS-70CDR pedal series. At this point, the pedals can basically be treated as an open-source coding platform. Right now I’m porting Chris Johnson’s Airwindows plugins step by step.

“Stereo Chorus” is already up and running, sounding flawless so far.

If you want to contribute ports or simply download and use the FX, check out the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/repeat98/ZoomMultistompZDL

Custom ZDL support will be coming with the Zoom Effect Manager 2.3.3 update.
Spread the word, so we get more developers on board to make more FX.

Also, if you have suggestions for effects you’d like to see, leave them in the comments.

Cheers,
J

Keyboard or no keyboard that is the question

Iv been looking into getting a syth and I'm humming and hawing can't decide... Dont really want to spend more the 600 (maybe a tad bit more if it makes a BIG differece) Canadian incase it just sits and gathers dust... that said papa still wants...

So I have a midi controller.... and was thinking about getting a key touch 37 or what ever it's called for general use with my mpc.... Soooo I have a key board....

is it worth spending money on something with the keyboard or is more bang for you buck to get hardware then plug you own keyboard into.... any recommendations would we greatly appreciate... or maybe even 2 moderately priced ones that would be friends and play well together. i should mention I'm wanting to make edm house, techno, dub.... you know that filthy shit...

KeyStep Pro not sending MIDI note to OP-Z. I’ve tried everything.

I have a KSP and am trying to send note data. Transport controls work fine so it is receiving clock.

Here is what I have tried:

-Different types of cables and adapters.
-Going through a thru box
-Going through an ESI MU8 ex.
-Tried both MIDI OUT 1 and MIDI Out 2 from KSP
tried changing channels and setting on both the KSP and the OP-Z.
-Toggled the settings on the OPZ including alt

I’m at a real loss on this one. Start stop works but no note data.

Peak arpeggiator fun

Full video here

Went for a physical modeling tone on the Peak and wanted to share :) Ran using the random arp setting.

The Noise modulation source and sample and hold LFOs do alot of the heavy lifting to slightly vary the tone and envelopes to keep it less static.

Trying to fit a MIDI keyboard, computer keyboard, and synths in one centered workspace

One of my biggest workflow pain points was trying to keep everything centered at the same time — MIDI keyboard, computer keyboard, and my main synths.

My actual main keyboards are a Summit and a Kronos, but for desktop gear these two are my main instruments, so I wanted them directly in front of me without sacrificing usable desk space.

I didn’t want to push the synths too far back, so I designed and 3D printed a minimal low-profile stand to reclaim some depth while keeping the overall setup feeling compact and centered.

It’s completely homemade and still a prototype, but it’s already making the desk feel much more usable.

Limited space dilemma, what’s the best way to fit everything without buying a new table (this is my favourite table)

I’ll soon have an ms20 mini too, I was thinking getting speaker stands to free up the table space? I figure I’d need a stand of some sort but everything’s different sizes. My friends a welder so maybe that’s the way forward?

Note: I’ve not placed my equipment where it usually goes, I tour a lot so I’ve just placed them willy nilly to show what equipment we are dealing with

Literally what can a virus TI 2 not do

Ik it can’t sample but it does almost every synthesis type you would need outside of modeling, it can do almost every effect and modulation you would ever need, it can do live granular and has like a billion voices. Besides something like zebra or serum is there anything else like it?

I suppose this is more fitting

Due to the chip I used when making my visual glitch box it can also use it as an oscillator (under the right circumstances) shoot me any questions I’m happy to answer

Should I buy the Model D or the Model 15 to get close to the Subsequent 37 bass sound?

Hi guys,

So for a project, I’m trying to nail the bass sound of the Subsequent 37 or to get closest bass tone to this Nine Inch Nails song (this isn’t the place).

But at my expense in my country, I could only get one of the two mention above, which one would be better for me to re-create the tone heard on it.

Thank you so much y’all.

Any input would be appreciated!

My (beginner) setup

I’ve been trying some different layouts but I think this one is working for me right now.
The Keystep controls my MicroFreak and it routes through a MIDI merger so I can use it to record to the Circuit Tracks MIDI 1 track as well.
The Minilab is for playing the synth engines on the Circuit Tracks.
I designed and printed the synth stand.
