MINT MAXED MOOG MINIMOOG with Aftertouch

via this auction

"THE REAL THING: The Legendary MINIMOOG, in ABSOLUTELY MINT condition,
fully restored by EME (40 years experience) and functioning perfectly.

WITH AFTERTOUCH AND VELOCITY SENSING ADDED TO THE KEYBOARD!!

MAIN ELECTRONICS UPDATED FOR MORE STABLE VCO'S.

NOW "THE SOUND" WITH THE EXPRESSIVENESS ONLY AN AFTERTOUCH KEYBOARD GIVES.

Even Analog Modeling synths exhibit "zipper noise" in their quantizing an analog phenomenon: the opening and closing of a filter. You'll hear the difference immediately. This thing is ORGANIC next to digital, or MINIMOOG re-creations. And of course that individual-component-style Moog Ladder filter shapes and squeezes each note with that unmistakably MOOG timbre control Thank you so much Bob, wherever you are.

The MINIMOOG had several VCO versions. While they all generate the sound the same way, (so "the sound" is always there no matter which version you use) the earlier versions tended to temperature-sensitive at times, and thus drifted in tuning, requiring constant tweaking during performance. That is what you will likely get on other Minimoogs that show up. SOLUTION: Confirm the VCO's are of the LATEST REV. That's what's shown below, and included and calibrated in the MicroMoog MAX here. These were only available in the very latest MiniMoogs.

EXTERNAL CONTROL INPUTS. 0-10VDC.

The AFTERTOUCH/VELOCITY are routed, with plugs, to these inputs.

WANT EVEN MORE CONTROL? Inquire about the available OPTION 2,
which brings the several other Aftertouch and Velocity controls and outputs
out onto the front or rear panel, as you order.

ACCESSORY POWER SOCKETS. Several external options, like ribbon controller, sequencer, etc. were made available for the MiniMoog and these jacks allow some of them to be powered. Note the 50mA rating."
