"Moog CE Dual VCO in excellent condition. Harmonically rich and lush waveforms. The nicest sine wave I have heard coming from a synth.

These were made by Moog Custom Engineering in the late 70s (along with the 3-band Parametric EQ, Graphic EQ, 12-stage Phaser, String Filter, and Vocoder) and reportedly are close to Mini Moog D oscillators. They have seperate CV inputs for both Oscillators, and a CV input for both at the same time. There are also two oscillator outputs, and a four-way multiple on the back.

Oscillators 1 has a pulsewidth control, and oscillator 2 can be synced. They both have switched octaves and switched waveforms (like Mini D oscillators)

The Dual VCO modules were made to order and set to work with the particular CV requirements of either a Micro, Multi, or MiniMoog. This was because these three synths (the ones that the Dual VCO was made to accompany) all have non-standard volt per octave keyboard CV. So the Dual VCO was equipped with a special PCB board depending on which synth you would use it with.

This unit works perfectly with a Roland SH-2 so it must have been either built or modified to work with standard 1v/oct synths."
