Moog closed a 35-year gap in its polyphonic synthesizer release history with the release of the Moog One, a new model that makes its market debut in two separate eight- and 16-voice versions. The short promotional video advertisement of the Moog One features a series of industry influencers ranging from Mark Ronson to Mike Dean and Suzanne Ciani, among others. The sepia scale film is styled after a vintage Polymoog plug that was originally released in 1976.

Moog One will offer purchasers use of three different VCOs, and will additionally enable musicians to engage three synths at once to split, stack, and layer the synths across Moog One’s 61-key Fatar keyboard. The Moog One is similar to Moog’s 2015 Voyager in that the Moog One will also include a pressure sensitive X/Y pad, CV ins and outs, and gate signals. The Moog One signals Moog’s formal return to polyphonic instrument production. After releasing the Voyager in 2015, Moog manufactured a series of semi-modular synths, including the DFAM and the Grandmother. Although Moog One has yet to announce an official arrival date for the polysynth, the eight-voice version will retail for $5,999, while the 16-voice edition will sell for $7,999.
