Little Phatty! You had the specs a little while back but to sum up, it's a 2 VCO, 1 VCF, 2 ADSR, 4 waveforms LFO, full analogue path 37 notes keyboard. There's audio I/O, Midi I/O, CV I/O, and a 100 presets memory. It'll run as a 1200 pieces Bob Moog Tribute Edition first with a price tag of $1475. Beware, it's said to have b…s! ;)
Sound samples will be available next week, meanwhile you have to go in Frankfurt to play it.

Almost everyone is familiar with his legendary hits, such as 'Sledgehammer', 'Biko' and 'Big Time', and his videos are considered to be milestones in the history of pop culture: Peter Gabriel, rock musician, songwriter and video artist, will be awarded the 2006 Frankfurt Music Prize during the international Musikmesse. He was singled out for the prize because, with his creative work, his appearances and his support for young talents, he laid a vital foundation stone for the future of rock and pop music.
The Frankfurt Music Prize was founded in 1980 and is awarded annually by the Trustees of the Frankfurt Music Prize Foundation on the occasion of the international Musikmesse in Frankfurt.
