Introducing Werkstatt-01 Published on Jun 9, 2014 Moog Music Inc ·267 videos

"The Moog Werkstatt-Ø1 is an analog synthesizer kit. Once assembled, you will have the satisfaction of owning a Moog synthesizer that you've built yourself. The Werkstatt-Ø1 is also an excellent platform for exploring the world of analog synthesizer circuits.

In this video, Moog Engineering Technician, Rosser Douglas, gives you an overview of the build process and functionality of the Werkstatt-Ø1 synthesizer.

"The Werkstatt-Ø1: Moogfest 2014 Kit is a patchable and compact, one oscillator analog synthesizer. It was originally created as a kit, to be the foundation for exclusive “Engineering VIP” workshops at Moogfest 2014. Due to a number of requests, Moog is offering a no-soldering-required version of the Werkstatt-Ø1: Moogfest 2014 Kit in limited quantities, at select US dealers only. Assembly is extremely simple: Any user can quickly build an analog synthesizer based on classic Moog circuits, and if desired, study the analog circuits. Werkstatt was created to be an educational tool, but it is also a formidable, compact analog synthesizer from Moog."
