You don't need one. None of us need anything for it's name. This market is not for people who don't define instruments by their name, but by their sound (and character enhancement of their big ass wall of a sound machine). My modules all have US Social Security numbers and I refer to them as "My peoples." If it was named "Best Damned Frequency Shifter Ever" would it make a sonic difference? Or how about "Phasequency Modulashifter" as a sum of its parts? Deflector Shield... Sure, it's a funky name, but look at the history of funky names briefly:

Moog Source, source of what?

Sequential Prophet, new religion?

Arp Avatar, predicting James Cameron's future?

Roland Jupiter, Mars, Juno, etc, Celestial compass?

Arp Odyssey, homage to Homer? (not the "Doh!" one people, cmon now)

Korg Monopoly, I know the board game is popular but sheesh.

Moog Prodigy, genius from youth?

Any other funky junky names i missed guys? Now all we need is a Moog Ghandi, a Dave Smith Jesus, a Korg Komet, a Yahama Hot Dog (or in Mooglanguage like lil'phatty it would be Hawt Dawg) and a Roland Da Bass and we will be sorted.

Have a great weekend guys!
