"Synthesizers.com is auctioning a prototype of its Q167 LFO++ module to benefit the Bob Moog Foundation. The one-of-a-kind module, built and signed by Roger Arrick, is fully functional, though differs slightly from the production units.

The Q167 LFO++ is a pure analog module offering a unique combination of features including a precision LFO, which operates into the audio range and tracks a 1v/octave keyboard or sequencer. A unique wave shaping section creates clean sine waves, anti-sine waves, curved sawtooth, gates and more.

The built-in envelope generator provides control of the LFO's speed and/or amplitude over time with control over the sustain TIME to produce sections of waveforms, bursts of gates, delayed vibrato, and more.

The special configuration of the LFO++ makes it easy to control vibrato, tremolo and filter modulation with a wheel controller, keyboard pressure or a sequencer. It’s great for controlling beat-count on individual sequencer steps and will accurately track a keyboard and can be used as a stand-alone analog synth voice.

The prototype being auctioned varies slightly from the production model. The front panel is a printed label and the circuit board is raw without a solder mask.The PCB is hand-soldered and some of the components are mounted in sockets.It is usable in any Moog-Unit format modular synthesizer with a Synthesizers.com power system.

Face plate measurements are 8.75" x 2.125" x 2.25" deep behind the panel. Requires: +15v,-15v,+5v.

Roger Arrick, founder of Synthesizers.com, explains, “I have been designing modular synthesizers for the past 20 years, and have been deeply inspired by Bob Moog’s pioneering work. It is an honor for me to give back by supporting the Bob Moog Foundation’s educational and historic preservation work through this auction. I usually keep all of my prototypes, so this is a rare offering.” For additional specs and a datasheet, see the Synthesizers.com website."
