"Vintage 1973 Moog Micromoog. Overall in fantastic condition, but due to its age is being sold AS IS. The synth functions, all pots,switches and jacks work flawlessly with no noise. The modwheel sometimes needs to be cleaned or moved around to reach its full range (I find it works best to leave it up when you turn it off and move it down when you turn it on. I don't know why it works but it usually does) the pitch ribbon works great but is most responsive on the left side of the ribbon.

The is really a fantastic synth for beginners (it was my first synth!) and more experienced synthesists looking for classic Moog sound. For being mostly plastic, its a pretty sturdy synth.

Incase your not familiar, * single analog oscillator with continuously variable waveform. Oscillator can be keyboard tracked, droned or turned off, and blendable sub oscillator (-1 or -2 octaves) and pink noise source
*classic MOOG Ladder Filter, 3 settings normal (non keyboard tracked) full (keyboard tracked) and tone (self resonant keyboard tracked, able to use as a sine wave oscillator)
*extensive modulation buss with square, triangle, auto triggered sample and hold, sample and hold, noise and bend. And destinations for pitch, filter, pitch and filter or waveform. Finally a wide range rate control.
* 2 Attack and decay envelope generators with switchable closed or full sustain for both filter and amplifier. Amplifier also has switchable short or long release.
*comes with printed copy of manual in a binder with blank patch sheets (not pictured), ata case, midi to cv converter with set up instructions and s-trig to voltage converter cable (necessary to use with midi converter)

It's a simple synth but can yield some really complex sounds (one of the greatest things about moog is how deceiving they can be)"
