OH yeah, they haven't used real modular synths in decades, probably not since the early 80's. Judging from a coupel videos I've seen on Youtube, it looks like lately they have had giant flat screen monitors onstage, the soft synth "front panel" showing. Sort of an EM version of the heavy metal bands and their walls of amplifiers (most of which aren't even plugged in, much less switched on or being used). I've also heard it suggested that even in the early 80's, the modular synths they were using onstage were "just for show" (proof apparently being that in a lot of photos, you can see most of the modules aren't even plugged into anything, though one could argue that maybe they had them hardwired together).
When I saw Bigelf live, Damon Fox had this insane rig topped with a Moog 15 modular. I can’t remember what else he had, possibly two models of Hammond, a Mellotron, a Minimoog and a bunch of things I couldn’t identify (Chamberlins, maybe?).
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
That's crazy. My GAS has subsumed this:
rcarlberg: Is there anything sadder than a song that has never been played?
Plasmatopia: Maybe a song in D minor that has never been played?
bob_32_116: That would be a terrific triple bill: Cyan, Magenta and Yello.
trurl: The Odyssey: "He's trying to get home."
Yeah, I just heard about the Prophet-6 a few days ago. There's also the new Eurorack version of the Oberheim SEM, as well as Korg's reissue of the ARP Odyssey, and all the other toys that were introduced at NAMM last week.
Who wants to bet that the Memorymoog will be re-issued?
I am still holding out hope for a rack version of the Sub 37...

They have been abusing the Juno name, just like the Jupiter name.
But...it looks like they have a new analog/digital hybrid:

I'm not impressed. I want the analog section to have a ton of controls, just like the Jupiter 8.
