Behold, my Moog the Rogue

Just got it in today. So excited about it. It's my first "real" analog synth. I also have a monotron and a stylophone (which I think qualifies as an analog synth).

Awesome! I love those, and want one really bad!

It's really fun but I have to open it up and get the tar removed. I'm not looking forward to it. :?

why don't they call it the ROOG?

because MOOG is pronounced MOGUE.

which by that standard, would imply that they also spell Rogue as ROOG.

MADE SOME CHOONS

Recorded onto my TASCAM portaone then put the headphone out into my computers and mic and recorded in audacity.

I can't keep time. I used my Casiotone MT-240 for the drums.

Lovely little thing.

Just curious, does it have MIDI in/out?

No, just CV. I heard it's really easy to mod it though.

Ah, of course.

Had a friend outfit his old Juno that way, from what I recall. At any rate, it doesn't matter how awesome my upgraded Access Virus is, I'm jealous of anyone with anything as fat as analog who can make good use of it. Enjoy!

Very cool! I really wanted one of these thanks to Add N to (X) but was driven away by price and the impending "tar" cleanup. I opted for a Little Phatty, but it doesn't quite have the same harshness available. The waveshapes are ever-so-slightly rounded off, illustrated to great effect here:

Comparison @ Moog forum

Your posted sample has some great tonality. Great score, and keep us posted with any news!

Hah, that would really make life difficult. I find it more entertaining to retain the "Rogue" spelling but pronounce it as "Roog".

Thanks!

Yeah, one of the reasons I got the Rogue was because of Add N to (X). Joy Electric too. Also the first time I seen a Rogue was when Jonny Greenwood is using one in "Meeting People is Easy".

Anyone have any idea on what I should do about a case for it?

yea it's after Bob Moog, the Moog factory is in Asheville, NC and I have a bunch of friends that have gone on tours of the factory and they've all told me that. It blew my mind at first too.

I'm pretty sure Sunn O))) use a Taurus II. But those have the exact same insides and interface as a Rogue. I think they use a Micromoog too.



But I could be completely wrong. I just haven't seen any pictures of them using a Rogue.
