Despite the hopes which analogue synthesis lovers had about Moog, the company said that it is ending the release of the “second wave” of the legendary Moog Minimoog Model D. You still can purchase it for $3,749.

But it’s the market which rules and that’s why we did get JD-XA and JD-Xi from Roland, and now SE-02 analog monophonic synthesizer module created together with the eminent Studio Electronics company is getting its way through. Roland emphasized that this is only the beginning of a new series called Roland Boutique Designer.
