It’s a 60-key, full analogue synthesizer that looks like a mashup of a standard Moog Minimoog Voyager, the VX-351 Control Voltage Expander, and the CP-251 Control Processor. To top it all off, there’s also a great looking ribbon controller.

We’ll let you know as details are released and when it’s officially announced (here’s hoping it’s a polysynth!) – subscribe to our feed to be notified.
