Moog The Source Analog Synth


via this auction

SN 1627

Description via wikipedia: "The Moog Source is a microphonic Z80 microprocessor-controlled analog synthesizer. Manufactured by Moog Music from 1981 to 1985. The Source was Moog's first synthesizer to offer patch memory storage. The design was also the first (and only) Moog synthesizer to feature a flat-panel membrane keyboard to replace the standard buttons, knobs and sliders, along with multitude panel graphics that were very different from anything Moog offered at the time.

In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note keyboard and two VCO’s that can be selected among three waveforms and three octave. Programmed presets can be saved to an audiocassette interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave VCF has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two ADSR envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. For modulation, the Source features LFO and sample and hold. The unit also features a rudimentary sequencer."
