People complaining about price , look at other filter banks processors they’re more costly or around this price and look at bs guitar pedals that act like filters there ridiculous prices. Moog synths and gear are quality built, metal , excellent filters and oscillators and don’t look like 2005 dodge neon like the one that suggests to buy a microfreak instead. The vocoder function is a must too
Agreed, it is a little pricey. Would like it to be cheaper, I'll save up my $$s to add and connect to the rest of my semi-modulars, Moog and other equipment. It doesn't sound bad; seems straight forward and the potential for quite a bit of sound enrichment is there. As a vocoder it is reasonable sounding,, with proper tuning pretty sure intelligibility can be addressed. Maybe more comparable to the MS-20's mic and input signal processing capability. I think I added to someone's point, since the MS-20 not marketed as a vocoder. 😁 In short, I like it and will eventually be getting one ... just as soon as I can afford it.
In the right hands any vocoder sounds great. It’s all about the setup and carrier. I have used vocoders since the 80’s and none of them sound intelligible unless used properly.
Well, thats what i bought mine for, thinking i’d vocode it with the moog synth oscillator and get all 1974 pink floyd on here. Turns out its not that easy. I have yet to come up with a decent patch to make that work. :(
Shouldn't gain be used to make sure you don't clip and distort and rui9n your speakers? You turned the gain so fucking high it's clipping into the red zone very aggressively which is why you only need to turn the volume up a TINY bit to get some serious sound. I feel like you don't understand how gain is used. You should only see the gain light flicker when the HARDEST part of the track is hitting hard. The way you are using gain I wouldn't let you play music on my sound system. Yikes!
Moog specifically says to set the gain so the red light is hitting brightly on strong signals. Not the way you’d usually see gear work. But since you decided to bull in a china shop the OP, RTFM.
And by the way, running a clipped waveform into your speakers won’t hurt a damn thing. You’re confusing amplifier clipping with clipping a preamp. But hey. Details.
It's for sale, and has been for years now. I think it's called the Moog 16 Band Vocoder. They probably didn't make many, because who could afford one, but they are for sale.
I'm curious as to why? This commercial edition looks almost identical to the Moogfest edition; just with knobs instead of faders, and extra patch points too. The Moog Labyrinth looks pretty complex too, and that must be coming soon. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they have to design their own synths from scratch in future though.
This device looks interesting to pair up with the other Moog's Mother series, but it can certainly get ezpensive
cant wait to patch this with my other moog semimodulars and the moogerfoogers i own (phaser especially!)
Make sure you regularly dust and oil your Moog furniture.
Great video, thanks

Now I can finally sing like Dan Deacon! …can’t compose like him though. When can we get a moog for that?
Yes, but can it do acid? 👍
Will it work the korg xd ?

I would like it to be free. I was jusst glad it wasn’t $6000 like Vocoders cost before this.
Moog muse on the left?
Prophet6;)
Creative and fat sound, but as a vocoder? Vocoders need to be understandable as it portrays speech.
This just sounds like pads.
Call it a voice controlled filterbank if labels are important. Honestly lots of classic vocoders aren't very intelligible
When using vocoders with drums, intelligibility is not as important. But for using it with voices, I agree.
@@XanderEwald intelligibility....that was the word I was looking for.

@@RussArteaga I disagree. No skillset will make this sound as crisp and clear as a Roland SVC-350, simply due to its technical limitations.

If I had money I would be getting that to plug my guitar into that envelope follower.

14:29 so sick wtf
Kinda reminds me of Stereolab's Refractions in the Plastic Pulse. Check it out if you want, part I'm talking about starts around 8:06.
Is it Broken ?
Sparky!
Interesting
GO BUY A MICRO FREAK FOR 200 USED AND BE HAPPIER
Sorry, but this is the worst vocoder i ever heard. I do mot understand any word. Can you make KRAFTWERK sound with this "instrument"?
price is shit.......
Weird no MIDI
Meh

This is garbage whatever happened to that $5000 vocoder they released a few years back, but I never heard about again
It's for sale, and has been for years now. I think it's called the Moog 16 Band Vocoder. They probably didn't make many, because who could afford one, but they are for sale.
sounds horrible
Moog going downhill fast
Guess I'll cancel my Spectravox order now.
I’m the opposite. Glad this project finally seeing its completion.
Why? People have been asking for this one for ages
I'm curious as to why? This commercial edition looks almost identical to the Moogfest edition; just with knobs instead of faders, and extra patch points too.

troll learning from others as always cause they're afraid to ask questions.
Nice hair 😐
