Got a spare $15k burning a hole in your pocket?
Then you may want to check out the 10th Anniversary Moog Minimoog Voyager. It’s like a normal Voyager, but dipped in gold.
Here are the details:
This video demonstrates an old trick for expanding the palette of sounds you can make with a MiniMoog – feeding the output of the synth back as input.
This official Koushion video, via kudzucreative, explores using the iPad step sequencer with a variety of Moog analog synths, the Moog Guitar’s filter and soft synths in Ableton Live.
Koushion connects to your existing MIDI hardware via the iRig MIDI from IK Multimedia or a USB-to-MIDI cable and the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. It also connects wirelessly to your DAW via a CoreMIDI (for OS X) or rtpMIDI (for Windows).
Features
Koushion is available in the App Store for $9.99.
Moog has announced its plans to discontinue production of the Minimoog Voyager Select Series, described as ‘the top selling backlit analog synthesizer of all time‘.
The Select Series lets you choose from a variety of customizations, including woods and finishes and the color of backlights.
Moog will continue building the Select Series through the end of the year, with the final Select Series leaving the factory on Jan 1, 2013. During the remaining months of production, Moog has reduced the selling price on all Select Series Voyagers from $3,659 to $2,999.
?We are a small company that still builds by hand, so sometimes we have to make hard decisions about ending the life of even our most favorite products,” said Mike Adams, CEO Moog Music.
The discontinuation of the Select Series comes as Moog begins celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Minimoog Voyager. The first Minimoog Voyager introduced the world to the next generation of analog synthesizers in 2002.
