Moog Memorymoog Plus SN 3187 via this auction

"I'm listing my vintage 1983 Memorymoog Plus on eBay as of September 22, 2014. I worked for Moog during that time (including creating some of the now-classic factory sounds) and I have been this instrument's sole owner.

This video is intended primarily to demonstrate that the instrument is in working order. Audio was recorded via my camcorder, inducing a bit of distortion that is not representative of the instrument. This was recorded dry with no external effects."

"The Memorymoog was introduced in the early 1980's by Moog Music, Inc, then in Buffalo, NY. It is a six-voice polyphonic synthesizer with three oscillators per voice, making it essentially six Minimoogs under one keyboard, including polyphonic glide/portamento. (Most synthesizers even today have only one or two oscillators per voice.) The sound is huge polyphonically and the voices can be played in unison for a stack of up to 18 (yes 18!) oscillators in monophonic mode—awesome! There's also a Hold mode where you can stack up a chord and play it up and down the keyboard from a single key. Like the Minimoog, it employs Moog's trademark fat 24db/oct filters and OSC 3 can be used as an audio oscillator or an LFO. Unlike the Mini, there's also a dedicated LFO for modulation as well. That way you can have either two VCOs per voice with two modulation sources, or three VCOs per voice with one modulation source. You can also sync OSC 2 to OSC 1.
The first Memorymoogs predated MIDI. When MIDI came along, we added MIDI as well as a sequencer. This was the Memorymoog Plus. There's a lot more to what a Memorymoog Plus can do, but that's the tip of the iceberg... and you can find out more elsewhere online."
