via the listing: "I have here for sale an Extremely Rare Moog Keyboard Mixer made in Moog's Custom Engineering Department between 1980 -1982.
I have not very much info on how many were ever made, when exactly were made but I do know that these were manufactured in very limited amount and not as a product that was intended to sell to the masses but as an addition to some of Moog's clients that needed something portable when performing with several Moog Synthesizers. I guess it was an alternative to the amazing Moog Synthesizer Amp which also served as a mixer + more but the SynAmp was a very heavy piece to carry around so they came up with this baby...
