'The Moog One was released in 2018 to much fanfare and high expectations. By all accounts, it was the greatest analog polysynth ever made; 16 voices, 3 oscillators, dual filters, knob-per-function, and Eventide effects. On paper at least, it was unbelievable. In person, it was astounding to play. Sounds were unlike anything ever made, and it lived up to the hype. But there were problems underneath. The volume knob was an unfamiliar taper. The filters didn't really drive much. There was very little distortion because of so much headroom in the mixer. The effects were underwhelming. And the fan noise to cool all that analog circuitry was loud and omnipresent. I know all this, because I beta tested it for over a year. All told, I entered 119 bugs and feature requests. To Moog's credit, they fixed about 89 of them.
When we set out to make this the ultimate homage version, we wanted everything possible, including improvements. But that wasn't enough; it had to play my original patches, offer all the improvements we could think of, and sound exactly like the original, but better.
TL;DR: it does.
The oscillators now include all the familiar analog shapes-- with sharpening, digital wavetables (including your own if you're bold enough), drawable shapes, and much more. The filters include the originals, modelled to within a dB at all ranges, plus most classic analog synth cart type additions, learned from all our other synth models. Plus, we added patch jacks for fast modulation routes. Plus, DRIVE and analog feedback loop lifted from Minimoog circuitry. CP3 mixer technology for even more vintage clarity. Instability along the way that isn't intrusive. Freely routable better snappy envelopes. A sequencer that outputs multiple lanes that you can drag anywhere. Effects that start with what should've shipped in the original, enhanced with legendary features. And if that's not enough, you can use your own VST3 effects inside it-- a world's first! All of this wrapped up in our EZ button. Randomize your way to your next sound and get there faster than you would've guessed.
And best of all--- a cooling fan that is near dead silent, measured to within .001 dB of the original, then completely cancelled out!
All new factory patches, plus my original 161 patches for your enjoyment.
