The Moog 9504A Is Much Too Awesome To Sell!

"Even before I began video taping, I knew I couldn't sell my much loved 'Moog' 9504A. So I played around with it for a while and then decided to record some audio and also threw up the camera for fun.

The 9504A was made by Don Martin's company back in the 1990's after Bob Moog's company went out of business. I've read the Don Martin cloned the Moog 904A voltage controlled low pass filter using the most up to-date and perfected schematics from the original company and used nice/more modern circuit boards and excellent construction techniques.

Mr. Martin added a numeral '5' the the model numbers of all the Moog modules he cloned. So the 904A became the 9504A etc.

The patch is as follows:
M-Audio Keystation-88 MIDI keyboard to MOTM-650 MIDI to CV converter controlling
3 x MOTM-300 VCOs with 3 outputs of a MOTM-380 quad LFO modulating pulse width.
Pulse outputs of the MOTM-300s went to a STG Mixer and then out to the Moog 9504A.
The 9504A was modulated with a MOTM-800 ADSR and keyboard CV, both passed through a Moon Modular 525 attenuator.
The output of the 9504A went to a MOTM-190 VCA which was modulated by another MOTM-800 ADSR and the VCA output went to a Roland M-120 line mixer.
A Modcan Dual Delay 73B was patched into the M-120's effects loop and some reverb/EQ/compression was added during post.
A Sony CX700V camcorder was used and a Marantz PMD661 flash recorder was used for the main audio (I mixed a bit of the camera's audio into the final mix as well).
