Topic: Moog modulars today: where and how much ?
Replies: 9
Views: 13871

A stock IIIc or System 55 can set you back at least $20,000, System 35 $12,000. Expanded modulars (extra cabinet, more modules, ribbon controller, etc) will set you back even more. Smaller modulars like the System 15 go for $6,000. analogsynths.com will ask for higher prices, they're major hoarders ...

Topic: Voyager or Memorymoog?
Replies: 20
Views: 24960

While Memorymoogs sound great, they do not have a very good record for reliability. I had one since 1986 and I was under the hood too many times. And it is getting harder to find a tech who will repair them. My Andromeda replaced the MM and I don't miss the repair bills. In the year I had the Voyage...

Yeah right, show me someone who argues they're worth $2000 and I'll show you someone who has a set they are trying to sell on ebay or in a classified. I HAVE used these live. They sound great but they are not worth $2000. Wonderful colours? Sorry. I love the Taurus pedals but they are a one-trick po...

The going rate for model D Minimoogs is $2000. The Taurus I is a crippled Minimoog with no modulation and very little flexibility in sound palette. And they can't be easily MIDIfied, they're v/hz not v/oct like the Minimoog and they have no I/O jacks. $1600 to $2100 is WAY too much for ancient non-M...

Bob had nothing to do with the MG-1; Dave Luce and Paul Schreiber designed the MG-1.

As long as you don't plug the speaker output of an amp into the MF, they ought to be fine.

The model D Minimoog is slightly smaller than the Voyager and does indeed fit in the Voyager gig bag.

Are the oscillators of the voyager real "V"CO or are the DCO? Real VCOs. because if they are real VoltageOsc, how can they been modified with an update of the operating system? The Voyager is not a hardwired system, a lot of the routing and control is controlled by software. So yes, OS up...

Replies: 12

The Moog Constellation was a prototype system consisting of three prototype devices; the Lyra, the Apollo, and the bass pedals. The Apollo was a polyphonic synth that evolved into the Polymoog, but it was a cheesy organ-like top octave division system with a master VCF so not really a proper polypho...

Replies: 1
Views: 6378

There were only a couple hundred RAs; if that one is in the 600s then it isn't an RA, more likely a Moog-Musonics. Whether it is unreliable tuning-wise depends on the VCO card installed in it. There were three revisions of VCO cards. This one is early enough it might have the original one with all d...

I would like to be able to let velocity (and perhaps pressure and the mod wheel as well) control cutoff/res/volume/ lfo rate via a simple modulation matrix: just source, destination and amount. The mod busses seem a waste for simple modulation. I can do it now via the vx, but it would be great to b...

Did Rush/Geddy Lee ever use a Minimoog?
Minimoog was on 2112 all the way to Signals, maybe Power Windows. The solo on "Tom Sawyer" (Moving Pictures) and "Subdivisions" (Signals) is a Minimoog.
