Today Moog Music announced limited edition all white versions of its analog instruments:
Moog has polarized the color of their traditionally black steel and natural wood instruments to a solid white finish. Included in this limited edition white release are the Slim Phatty, Minimoog Voyager, and the Minimoog Voyager XL analog synthesizers. Moog has also included the entire line of Moogerfooger Analog Effects Modules in this all white release.
Moog Music All White Instruments
In addition to the polarized color, the Slim Phatty now ships with 100 new, artist-designed presets made specifically for this limited edition analog synth. The sound designers that crafted the new preset bank are Phil Hartnoll and Paul Hartnoll of Orbital, Production wiz Chad Hugo of N.E.R.D. and The Neptunes, and DJ/Sound Designer Dom Kane. The Slim Phattys optional wood sides, and optional rack ears are also now available in white.
The Minimoog Voyager and Minimoog Voyager XL have also been transitioned to an all white finish with reversed artwork. The pitch and mod wheel of the Minimoog Voyager XL has been upgraded to a white backlit design, which is a feature that was previously only available on the Minimoog Voyager.
Lastly, the Moogerfooger family of analog effects modules are also ghosts of their former selves. The MF-101 Lowpass FIlter, MF-102 Ring Modulator, MF-103 12 Stage Phaser, MF-104M Analog Delay, MF-105M MIDI MuRF, MF-107 Freq Box and the MF-108M Clusterflux have all been transitioned to white and are now a perfect match to the limited edition Minimoog Voyager, Voyager XL and Slim Phatty Analog Synthesizers.
These all white Moog instruments are available for a limited time at select dealers and are shipping now. See the Moog site for details.

Moog is becoming like the frickin’ Ford Mustang.
New special editions every month.
No substance just special “exclusive” colours and crap like that.
How about some new synths? esp. Polyphonic please?
true, especially the polyphonic part
Wow! It will look great next to my new MacBook!
dont u mean old macbook?
The color is nice, but the real feature are the two patch sets from Orbital. They did a couple impromptu jam sessions on the white Slim Phattys at Moogfest. There’s some interesting sounds in there — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVqHBnpayIU
Umm, what? This is just so Deadmau5 can have Moog gear that matches his Modcan, right…?
Hmmm…. Not the Voyager expanders or the CP-251. Those probably don’t sell as well. I wish they’d make more stuff in the CP-format though.
I thought this too. The truth is that I would love to have a white Voyager XL with a few fully filled Modcan cases sitting above it.
Moog: Klan Edition
LoL …if you see it in that way…white color is minority on the moog universe
C’mon Moog, I expect at least Sterling Silver if not Platinum- these are probably merely white paint!
Manganese.
No Minituar in white it seems.
This just ain’t right.
Is Moog using these gimmicks to sell through existing stock or have they partnered with the Franklin Mint to crack the collectables market?
i like white stuff
Not as easy to keep clean as the gold version
For the simple reason that NO ONE is allowed to touch the gold one!
Is all publicity really good publicity? Please don’t jump the shark Moog…. please…
V expensive gear,
Dave smith is blowing them out of the water with his Mopho x 4,
A two voice (duo phonic ?_) is well away from moogs ability and perhaps when they go Poly, we can look forward to further absurd prices, the most interesting thing about moog is it’s name and it’s past .
Very different types of analog gear. One is made of discrete chips, and one is integrated whole synth on a stamp, which is cheaper to manufacture.
And everyone knows discrete circuits sound more analog-y!
Actually, discrete circuit components and robust circuit design DO contribute to propagation of rich sounds. Ask any audio tech or electric guitarist about that.
Same people that buy the $200 cables?
Cool to see that post. Recently we’ve been to Moog factory in Asheville and seen white moogerfoogers being produced. Some of it is covered on the video we made in the factory. Check it out:

Moog
What a load of bollocks
Looks like someones’s running out of ideas..
I mean, they look pretty, but what’s the point? If anyone was unsure about whether to go Moog, would a blanc paint job really tip the scales? Maybe a Glow-In-The-Dark Theremin, or Gold Voyager would do it.. (and i do actually like the look of both!)
Feels like the last drops of Bob’s legacy have already been juiced.
You know, Moog makes nice gear.
But changing the color doesn’t make it better
XD
Just my two pennies
This is tiresome.By the way,if Moog make a polyphonic synth,I will saw my legs off with a dull steak knife.Ain’t gonna happen,
More paint. I wonder what would happen if they kicked the graphic designers out of the engineering department.
innovation is dead, long live the paint.
Paint jobs, logo t-shirts and coffee mugs are all very well, but the buggers still want three THOUSAND dollars for a monophonic synth. Yeah yeah, hand-made, blah blah, we know, but three THOUSAND dollars, people? All the spiffed-up marketing smoke-screening in the world can’t hide these prohibitive prices.
