A blast from the past, just picked up an old Moog model PC-30 controller, brand new in the box for $7.00. A strange Moog controller indeed! This unit is capable of creating "Dual Tone Multi Frequencies" and has an onboard playback sequencer with up to 30 storage locations of up to 16 tones each. All instantly recalled at the push of 30 dedicated touch pads.The unit features an 8 digit LED readout along with a touch pad for the sequence tone entry. It also sports a built in speaker and modular connections on the rear of the unit. And best of all, can even be set up to give you the time of day. How cool is that? An official 80's Moog LED time piece.
Looks to be in "Mint" condition with all the original packaging unopened! What a find!
A close up of the back of the box with all the interesting features of this Moog product. It promises to save me money!
A look at the bottom of the controller. Too bad I have to break the seal to try it out?
Inside the included manual, an order sheet for accessories from Moog Music.
I could probably use those "Modular Cables" in either 2 foot or 7 foot lengths. Not sure what the 4 conductors for the cables would be? 2 CV's, gate,and ground? There are modular sockets on the back, I guess to hook it up to your modular. I'll have to read the manual.
A close up of the touch panel and that cool Moog Telecomunications logo.
Same address as on many of my Buffalo era moog products.
For seven bucks, I could not pass this up. Guess I could tap into that tone generator or sequencer. Or just make a phone call on my land line. But Moog was not the first synthesizer manufacturer to dabble in the telecomunications buisness. Aries also had a phone enhancer in the back of their catalog. The AR-830. Wonder how that would sound with my Aries AR-327 multi-mode filter? Probably not as fat as the Moog.
