OVERVIEW
Moog One is the ultimate Moog synthesizer - a tri-timbral,
polyphonic, analog dream-synth designed to inspire imagination,
stimulate creativity, and unlock portals to vast new realms of sonic
potential. The first polyphonic analog synthesizer from Moog in more
than three decades, Moog One is the culmination of years of research and
has been developed to exceed every expectation of a polyphonic Moog
instrument.
Available in 8-voice and 16-voice configurations, Moog One’s
polyphonic sound engine is built on the most powerful synthesizer
architecture ever employed by a Moog instrument. Per voice, Moog One
offers 3 newly-designed analog VCOs, 2 independent analog filters, a
dual source analog noise generator, analog mixer with external audio
input, 4 LFOs, and 3 envelopes. To deliver an infinitely inspiring
performance experience, each of the three timbres can be easily split or
layered across Moog One’s expressive 61-note keyboard, each with its
own sequencer, arpeggiator, and onboard effects library--including a a
suite of professional reverbs from Eventide.
Secured in a hand-finished Ash cabinet and aluminum enclosure,
Moog One’s front panel is equipped with 73 knobs and 144 buttons,
inviting physical connection with every sound shaping and performance
control. Extended functionality is easily accessed via a per-module
“More” button that brings additional parameters into focus using the
Moog One center-panel LCD to ensure the most transparent and expedient
sound creation experience possible.
Moog One is an unprecedented conduit for the expression of your
own creative voice. Sculpt, shape, and transform your own sound with
nearly infinite possibilities.
TRIANGLE CORE OSCILLATORS
Each Moog One voice employs three newly developed triangle core
analog VCOs. The output of each oscillator is a user-defined mix of the
selectable triangle / sawtooth wave, plus a variable-width pulse wave.
Expanding beyond traditional oscillator designs, the rise/fall time of
the triangle wave and the reset phase of the sawtooth wave can be shaped
and modulated to create to a rich palette of classic analog tones.
Blending the tri/saw and pulse waves together opens new dimensions of
harmonic freedom, creating complex waveforms not typically found in
analog synthesizers. The Moog One oscillator section is also equipped
with hard sync, analog ring modulation, and FM for boundless analog
sound generation.
DUAL SOURCE NOISE GENERATOR
Each Moog One voice includes an advanced dual-source analog
noise generator that allows different colors of noise to be selected and
mixed, while and dynamically articulated utilizing the dedicated noise
envelope generator. This unique module is a powerful tool for adding
percussive attacks, breath, or full-body impact to a sound.
MIXER
Moog One offers a flexible analog mixer, providing volume
controls and filter routing selections for each oscillator, noise
generator, ring modulator, and external audio input -- sound sources can
be shaped by different filters independently, or at the same time.
LADDER AND STATE VARIABLE FILTERS
There are two types of analog filters in Moog One. The first is
a newly-designed multimode State Variable Filter that brings razor-like
precision and articulation to the instrument. The second is a classic
Moog Ladder filter with selectable low pass / high pass behavior. These
two filters can process sounds individually or together, in series or
parallel operation, to access a vibrant spectrum of classic, obscure,
and completely new filter sounds.
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS
Cyclical motion within Moog One is generated by 4 wide-range
LFOs that can be assigned to nearly any destination. Capabilities
include MIDI synchronization and clock division, start delay time,
number of repeats per instance, fade in and out time, and much more.
ENVELOPES
Dynamic sound shaping within Moog One comes via its 3
assignable DAHDSR Envelopes (Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain,
Release). In addition to looping, synchronization, and time scaling
capabilities, the character of each envelope can be user-sculpted
through utilization of per-stage envelope curves.
MODULATION
Easily create modulation assignments from any of Moog One’s 4
LFOs and 3 EGs by pressing their corresponding Destination Button -- the
next knob touched sets the modulation path and amount. For more complex
modulation options, Moog One also employs an internal Modulation Matrix
with visual access to every possible combination of the instrument’s
extensive synthesis and controller components.
SYNTH EFFECTS, MASTER BUS EFFECTS, AND EVENTIDE® REVERBS
Moog One features a growing library of programmable per-synth
effects and master bus effects that include chorus, delay, phase, bit
reduction, vocoding, and a suite of premium reverbs from Eventide®
including Blackhole, Shimmer, Plate, Room, and Hall. Effects can be
applied in two ways: as Synth Effects and Master Bus Effects. Synth
Effects are applied to individual layers of timbrality, while Master Bus
Effects can be applied via sends to all three synthesizers. Though its
onboard effects are digital, Moog One retains a completely analog signal
path with no in-line conversion when insert effects are off.
TRI-TIMBRALITY AND UNISON MODE
Comprised of three independently addressable analog polysynths,
the tri-timbral Moog One design allows voices to be easily assigned,
split, layered, or stacked with up to 48 oscillators in Unison Mode.
Additionally, each synthesizer is equipped with its own fully-featured
step sequencer, arpeggiator, and effects processor. Multitimbral
synthesis is simplified through the Moog One ‘Panel Focus’ module.
Selecting a Synth for Panel Focus causes the Moog One front panel knobs
and buttons to switch control to that layer of timbrality. Users can
also select multiple layers at once for simultaneous adjustment of
multiple synthesizers.
KEYBOARD AND X/Y PAD
Moog One’s premium 61-note Fatar TP-8S keyboard with velocity
and aftertouch ensures a balanced and dynamic playing experience for any
user. In addition, milled aluminum pitch and mod wheels and a
pressure-sensitive X/Y pad provide a fully assignable means of emotive
expression and continuously variable control.
MORE BUTTON
Nearly every module is equipped with a triangular “More” button
in the upper right corner. When “More” is pressed, the Moog One LCD
screen reveals additional parameters specific to that module, accessing
deep-level features and advanced controls.
PRESETS AND PERFORMANCE SETS
A Moog One preset is a self contained creative environment,
saving the parameter settings for all 3 layers of timbrality, along with
all of their respective sequencer, arpeggiator, and modulation
settings. Moog One has the ability to store and recall tens of thousands
of presets that can easily be categorized, edited, notated, and even
shared via USB drive. Up to 64 Presets can also be loaded to Moog One’s
‘Performance Set’ module, where they are instantly selectable via a
front panel “Bank / Preset” button configuration—a must for live
performance and sessions.
USER SPACES
Preserving more than just presets, the User Space saves all of
the global behaviors, MIDI settings, port and pedal configurations, knob
behaviors and even the LED brightness of your working environment,
which is critical for studios and working musicians. Multiple
User Spaces can be created, saved, and recalled – either from internal
memory, or from an external USB drive, allowing you to instantly
transfer your creative work spaces from one instrument to another.
SNAPSHOTS
When exploring a sound, pressing the Snapshot Button allows
Moog One to easily capture and recall a time-stamped picture of a preset
at its current settings, removing the need to continually save data
manually while experimenting with new ideas.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY
Moog One’s rear panel is populated with 2 assignable pairs of
stereo audio outputs, 4 assignable inserts, and 2 external audio inputs
with support for XLR and ¼” input. MIDI communication comes through
5-pin DIN and USB connection, which also offers system backup and
restore via USB drive. 9 configurable CV inputs and outputs (with
expression and sustain pedal inputs) are also included.
