I’ll talk about it in another post when I’ve spent more time with it, but I thought It would be useful just to add to the topic about the included manual.
It’s a lovely cloth-bound hardcover book of 190 pages called ‘The Moog Modular Synthesizer Owner’s Manual’.
It is an unabridged copy of the 1981 manual by Dan Wyman. It still carries the 1981 Copyright to Moog Music, Inc.
The Table of Contents is as follows:
