One of the coolest introductions at the 2011 NAMM Show was a synth that you can’t even buy, Eric Persing’s iPad + Moog frankensynth, the OMG-1.
Persing designed the OMG-1 as a contest promotion for the Bob Moog Foundation. This video, via SynthMeTV, captures the unveiling of the OMG-1 at NAMM.
In the first have of the video, Persing and Michelle Moog-Koussa talk about the contest and introduced the OMG-1. The second half of the video, though, captures Eric Persing’s OMG-1 frankensynth freakout!
Check it out and let me know what you think of the OMG-1 synthesizer!
i guess i was expecting some kind of epic edgar winter solo
If I would have won that OMG-1, I would have immediately asked everyone to 'follow me', taken it out to the parking lot, doused it with gasoline, and set it on fire.
That's how much I hate that thing.
Sounds like you're extra clever.
Ummm…..a real analog synth that can run any Mac or Windows soft synth, full integrated iPad multitouch surfaces with dedicated control apps to integrate with Omnisphere and the Moog knobs??? (that you can also use for any iOS apps with independent audio outs)
What's not to like??!! 🙂 🙂
OK – I'm a sucker for old-school synth music!
Pimp my Moog 😉
10:40 for the reveal.
14:20 for actual audio.
The demo was better than i was expecting, it's a pretty nice combination of stuff. I like it!
You'll make Moog cry.
Butt. Ugly.
There's no excuse.
didn't anyone tell you it doesn't matter whats on the outside its what one the inside that counts 😉
i bet thats easy, and now for an encore go on and prove that black is white
lol.
Moog? Awesome.
Mac Mini? Awesome.
iDevices? Awesome.
Color and Design? F&%ing HIDEOUS.
