images via this auction
"the serial number 2485. The Multimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog music from 1978 to 1981. Derived from the earlier (internally, it consists of a stock Micromoog Micromoog circuit board with the extra circuitry on a second board), the Multimoog was intended to be a less expensive alternative to Moog's flagship Minimoog. It nevertheless had some advanced features which the Minimoog did not include--most notably, it was one of the earliest synthesizers to feature aftertouch capability. Key features include:
* 44 note monophonic keyboard with aftertouch
* ribbon-type pitch bend controller
* "glide"
* two voltage-controlled oscillators with waveform continuously adjustable from sawtooth, through square, to narrow pulse
* oscillator sync
* noise source
* 24db/octave Moog transistor-ladder lowpass voltage controlled filter
* dedicated low frequency oscillator with triangle, square, and random waveforms
* extensive modulation routing options, including sample & hold, audio-frequency modulation of the VCF for quasi-ring modulation, waveform sweep/quasi-pulse width modulation, and more
* two AR (attack/release) evelope generators with switchable percussive/sustaining profiles
* external audio input for processing instruments, vocals, etc.
* external control voltage and trigger inputs/outputs for interfacing with other synthesizer equipment"
