Moog Music Forum

Hi there,

My Source needs new key bushings. The keyboard is very clicky and hard and keys aren't properly alligned anymore.
Does the Source use an Pratt Read keyboard or what is it?
I found new key bushings for Pratt Read keyboards but not sure what's been built into the Source.

Thanks in advance

I would think it’s a Pratt read keyboard considering when the Moog Source was released.. A lot of synths used them back then.

I had a Sequential Circuits PRO 1 back in the day and it used a Pratt read keyboard.

If it’s not a Pratt Read keyboard it’s probably a Panasonic .

I read in a 2016 post that the Memorymoog and the Source used a Panasonic keyboard.

I’m not an authority but I would assume it’s a Panasonic . Not sure of the time of the Sources production run. Never had a Source.

Yes I also found that post saying it's an Panasonic keyboard.
I couldn't find any replacement bushings for Panasonic keybeds in general.
They seem quite uncommon. Bummer
