New Moog Muse 8 Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer in the Works?

New Moog Keyboard Synth Spotted at Usher's Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Update: some details shared online follow. It appears to be a translation from an online shop that had it listed with an MSRP of 47380 Kroner which currently comes to $4,384.62 USD. Note I have no way of verifying the price or the following is legit, so take it all with a grain of salt. Also all but the 1st pic have been updated with slightly larger versions, but they are still pretty blurry.

That said, here's the info shared elsewhere online:

"Meet Muse, an eight-voice analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer — the culmination of over 5 years of dreams, design, and passion. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument built on the rich history of Moog that simultaneously gazes boldly into the future. This studio or performance centerpiece is driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and a stereo VCA — all with that...

We've selected the very best of vintage Moog circuits to create Muse – inspired by Moog Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module, and a 904A Filter. With 16 banks of 16 patches, you'll encounter beautiful pads, organic FM plucks, attention-grabbing leads, subterranean basses, stage-oriented key splits, as well as 2 banks reserved for your own sonic discoveries.

CP3-style saturating mixer per-voice with Ring Mod, Noise, and either clean or saturated mix; Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice per patch.

Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice based on the Moog 902 Module. Dual ADSR envelopes per-voice with variable curves, looping, velocity response, and assignable to any destination; Two LFOs with unique waveshapes, dedicated Pitch LFO, and 16 per-voice triggered Random Generators - all routed via 16 modulation slots per-timbre, per-patch

Bi-timbrality and Voice Control: two independent timbres per-patch can be stacked or split across the keyboard; Advanced arpeggiator with rhythmic programming, expanded patterns, and generative behavior; Chord Memory with programmable per-key chord shapes; 64-step sequencer with Clock Division, Transport controls, Sequence chaining, Step editing, Modulation capabilities, and memory capacity of 16 banks of 16 sequences...

61 key semi-weighted full size Fatar keybed with velocity and channel aftertouch.

Diffusion Delay™: a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by golden era vintage digital rack delays with a unique and powerful set of diffusion, multi-tap, and filter behaviors. Craft complex echoes and diffused tonal smears that add dimension and depth to any patch. In addition to Muse's creative immediacy, the powerful arpeggiator invites you to generate melodic ideas with compelling patterns and rhythms. With Muse's sequencer, you'll unravel unique patterns and gestures — further develop these discoveries with parameter recording, probabilistic editing, and much more; 16 banks of 16 patches for a total of 256 patch memory"

"Last Saturday afternoon, I had the visit of two musician friends visiting my synth studio. Here, the 'dread lock giant' is having a lot of fun tweaking a sequence on my Yusynth modular synth, while I manage to play a few notes and chords on the Memotron (a modern recreation of the Mellotron by Manikin Elecronic) to accompany the sequence. The other visitor is behind the camera and makes a kind of panoramic view of my music studio."

Curious if the Special Edition OS is this. Was there more than one? If anyone knows feel free to comment. Below is a pic of the Special Edition welcome screen on the DX7. I reached out to Retro Gear, and they don't know either. They just noticed the start up screen.

Update: pic of the chip added below. Note the chip reads SCR-7, while the OS link reads Special Edition ROM (SER-7). Guessing it's the same, but who knows...

The last Eurorack sequencer you might ever buy: DROID Moto Kit Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Imagine you could buy an uber-hands-on 4-track performance sequencer with haptic motorised faders, but you could modify or totally redesign how it works - as your interests change? The "DROID Moto Kit" (running the included Motor Fader Performer Sequencer patch) is that thing. It's 'done', and powerful...AND it can be changed. In this video I'll introduce the DROID system, explain basic track creation 5:41, and then jam from 14:57 onwards.

Thanks for Der Mann mit Der Maschine for hiring me to demo the Moto Kit. Given that this was designed by someone who actually plays live, you might expect that my next step is to try this as my live case sequencer."

An Update on the FAUX HUNDRED

Two new pics of the FAUX HUNDRED.

You might recall the FAUX HUNDRED posted back on April 1st.

An elaborate April Fools joke in that was the joke that it was real, or that it was fake?

Note the play on the name. You might recognize the design as the Buchla 400 Hundred.

Faux / Four

A remake of the 400.

So, is it real?

This is prototype #2 and I hear it is working.
