Which cat is gonna be the first to fork out a few clams for this one?

I guess it's just a voyager with patchbay.. I say bring on a poly for god sake.

Sorry, but this only makes me even more glad to have a vintage model D.

...and if they ever do pull the trigger on a poly I hope to God they use the Taurus 3 Osc design and not the Voyager's, since they seem intent on reusing old designs.

The basic Voyager Osc sound is just plain uninteresting to my ears (and yes I have tried one in person), even the Little Phatty has bags more character IMO.

But an interesting design on the XL, I however, definitely wont be getting one

Hi there,

Richard...interesting what you said about the Voyager !
I sold mine about 6 months ago..sounded nothing like my old model D !
Looking foward to trying the LP.
That new Voyager could be the precursor for the poly...we can only hope and

Cheers

Ah cool! I'll let you know when it arrives

Yep, go the LP Stage II I reckon, definitely my favourite modern moog keyboard (and I say *modern* moog, because as this Voyager XL has proven, they are two very different companies in aesthetic and design). Not saying that's necessary a bad thing too BTW, though why they still use great big stickers for some of their front panel legending and not silk-screen on metal like the old gear (and particularly with the prices they charge nowadays), is still beyond me. I mean I'd expect that kind of thing from the DIY community, not one of the biggest names in synth manufacturers.

If they made a tasteful looking 5 voice Poly Phatty they'd be onto a winner, I keep my fingers crossed for the future!
