Moog Memorymoog 6 Voice Polyphonic Vintage Synthesizer SN 2444

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This 6 voice polyphonic monster was rescued from storage, unplayed for likely decades, and whipped into incredible shape by the service department at Midwest Music Menders in Brookfiled, IL. This is serial number 2444, fully stock from the factory, with no onboard MIDI modifications. The wooden cabinet and aluminum show only minor wear and a few scattered dings, and the panels is fully clean and clear. All pots and buttons are working marvelously.

The sound, though. This synth is huge: 18 CEM3340 oscillator chips, 3 per voice, form the core of this instrument. The Memorymoog is full of Curtis chips, with the exception, of course, of 6 classic 24db/oct Moog low pass filters. The Autotune sequence is fully functioning, displaying “6 TUNED” after about 30 seconds. The ROM version on this instrument is likely 2.2, as the display shows “83” in front panel test mode, and this version is not fitted with the MIDI upgrade.

This Memorymoog was thoroughly serviced, including cleaning of all panel knobs and switches. Two pots were replaced: the master Tune knob and the Frequency knob for Oscillator 3. Two ICs on the Demux board were replaced. All capacitors on the panel boards were replaced. The instrument was then calibrated and tuned after an adequate burn in period. This synth likely plays and sounds as great as it did new, if not better!"

Mini LEGO Minimoogs

via @moogmusicinc, via @grobie

"I made Mini LEGO Minimoogs. Say that 5 times fast."

Update: More pics here and you can vote for them becoming an official LEGO kit here!

Details from LEGO Ideas:

"Go retro-analog with these miniaturized versions of the classic Minimoog synthesizer! The Model D (left) and the Voyager Old School (right) are both represented in a small display set that would look great on the shelf of any synth geek, electronics buff, or general music lover.

In 1970, Bob Moog's company revolutionized the synthesizer industry once again by incorporating elements of his monumental Moog Modular in an all-in-one portable package, enabling electronic musicians to easily bring these spectacular sounds onstage. The iconic Model D and its subsequent revisions defined the sound of bass and lead sounds in pop and rock music for decades. In 2002, along with the resurgence of retro synthesis, Moog repackaged the Minimoog into a new model, the Voyager. The Voyager "Old School" is the model depicted here.

The control panels are not intended to be a one-to-one reproduction of the control panels of these instruments, which would be practically impossible at this scale. Instead, I chose to simply suggest the knobs and switches and panel prints with simple elements. The design of the side panels closely resembles that of the original models: metallic on the Model D and wood-grain on the Voyager Old School. Both synths sit on simple Lego recreations of an X-style keyboard stand.

Another detail of note is the accurate representation of the keyboard. Many piano and organ builds do not accurately reflect the pattern of black keys in alternating groupings of 2 and 3, but I found a way to achieve this with a combination of a could hinge elements oriented in different directions. These all reside atop white grille tiles, but utilizing hidden jumper tiles to achieve the most correct proportion possible.

Possible project updates include additional Minimoog models and refinements. Models of synths or keyboards from other manufacturers will likely merit their own projects.

Synth lovers unite, and help make these recreations a reality! They look great on my desk, and they'd certainly look great on yours!"

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evover Keyboard: Digital Pad II


"Another all-Evolver improvisation. This is a free, meandering theme-less piece meant primarily to demonstrate a sound - a classic Evolver-esque ice cold pad with lots of sparkling digital aliasing. The high pass filter is used at the beginning and several times during the piece to give the music a distant effect. Towards the end (9:35), a bright forte patch in the bass enters, which, as usual, consists of the Evolver Desktop controlled by the Hammond XPK 200L pedalboard. The Lexicon drenches the music with reverb throughout.

DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard

Moog Sonic Six Pro Restored

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

" For your consideration this Moog Sonic Six. It just got back from Syntaur here in Texas and is both looking and sounding fantastic. The synth is in great cosmetic condition. I have photo documented the following blemishes with photo's above. The two sliders to the left of the keyboard are non-original. On the leftmost slider of that pair there is a slight dent in the metal housing along the slider opening. Three knobs are scuffed. All of the knobs are original. The case has very few scratches but the hardware is showing signs of rust. The rust is on the surface and is not effecting their strength or functionality.

There is plenty of info on this synth on the web but here are my thoughts on what I like about it.
The Sonic Six's strongest attribute is its unique layout. Its unlike any synth I know of and encourages experimentation. There are pairs of audio and modulation sources that can be blended creating unique waveforms out of the triangle, saw, and pulse waves available. These can be used as audio sources and CV sources. The amp section can be triggered by these complex waves making for some interesting rhythm patterns. There are two noise sources, a ring modulator, and audio in. Its great having the synth integrated in the carrying case (one of the reasons I think its in such good shape) I didn't think I'd be interested in the speaker but I found myself using it multiple times when I wanted to play somewhere other than my studio.

Here's a list of the work recently performed
*recapped power supply
*cleaned all pots
*cleaned all switches
*rebuilt power switch
*cleaned and repaired all knobs
*replaced Osc A "Quality" pot
* installed new speaker
*tuned and calibrated"
