MOOG Minitmoog - VEMIA

"The rarest of all the later Moog synths (limited to 2500 and many have not survived well). Cosmetically very good – only issues are: slight hairline cracks on reverse of sliders; small piece missing from underside on E3; minor scratches to panel. In good working order, too, with the exception of a slightly erratic touch response sensor (should have better touch system fitted to all higher serial numbers, though): sync sweep appears to sometimes be the wah-sound intended and sometime affects pitch instead; filter response is (in my opinion) a little quiet and tremolo is almost inaudible via touch controls. Tremolo and vibrato modulation otherwise work fine when applied with touch sensor disengaged! Pitch and vibrato modulation respond well to touch sensor. Attack / Decay work on some of the presets but not others – not sure if this is intended or not? More positively, all presets respond as they should; glide and sustain are working well, so too are brilliance, modulation depth / rate, and glide amount. Despite requiring some minor attention to get this back to 100%, it is a little beauty: bring in the 2 VCOs via the A/B mix knob, slight detune, add a little vibrato and, hey presto, the MinitMoog can produce some instantaneously gorgeous sounds: lunar and Taurus are interesting. Buyer pays postage costs. Fitted with standard US plug (110V) but will supply suitable Maplin voltage converter free of charge for UK and EU buyers."
