Synthesizer pioneer and educator Chris Meyer curated the synthesizer's assembly, while the cabinet was designed and created by Christopher Perryman of Gold Splinter Woodworking Studio.

Bob Moog had a career-long interest in alternative controllers. In the spirit of "What Would Bob Do," this incredible system includes not only a host of analog and digital oscillators, filters, sequencers, and effects, but an expansive collection of alternate controllers as well. This diverse assortment of peripherals includes a heart sensing monitor, two theremins, a touch controller, percussion hardware, and a ribbon controller, all connectable to an expressive Roli Seaboard controller.

In addition to a grand prize, this winter's raffle also offers an Expressive-E Osmose synthesizer ($1799 value) for second prize, along with a Noisy 2 software synthesizer ($150 value) for third prize.

Dave Rossum Joins Bob Moog Foundation Board of Directors

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"We are thrilled to welcome synthesizer pioneer Dave Rossum to the Board of Directors of the Bob Moog Foundation, the governing body our organization. Many of you know of Dave from his early days at E-mu Systems, and his more recent work through Rossum Electro-Music, but his work extends far beyond the companies that he has created. Dave's work in SSM chip design can be heard in the Prophet 5, Korg Polysix, Korg Mono/Poly, Fairlight II, PPG Wave 2, and many others. He also invented the polyphonic synthesizer keyboard.

Dave brings with him a wealth of creative and business expertise that will help drive the work of the Bob Moog Foundation forward. You can read more HERE."

Minimoog Prototype Exhibit At the Moogseum This Weekend Only!

The anticipation is almost over! We are thrilled to be hosting the Minimoog Prototype Exhibit at the Moogseum, this weekend only, in partnership with the Museum of Music Technology (MMT). The exhibit will feature four ultra rare Minimoog prototypes from 1969, 1970, and 1971, as well as a host of related artifacts from the Bob Moog Foundation Archives.

We are honored to have JoE Silva, author of The Minimoog Book: The Synthesizer That Changed Music Forever: Sounds, Stories, and Technology join us throughout the weekend of the exhibit. He'll be on hand to delve into the history of the Minimoog with exhibit attendees and sign books in the Moogseum store.

We're excited to share a new addition to the exhibit. MMT will be bringing Minimoog serial number 1016 (the sixteenth Minimoog ever produced out of 12,269 units), which was purchased in 1971 by none other than David VanKoevering, the marketing genius behind the early Minimoog sales. David's Minimoog will be available for exhibit attendees to play and explore. Come get you hands on this incredible piece of synthesizer history!

Finally, be sure to take advantage of the morning tours with our executive director, Michelle Moog-Koussa. Michelle will be delving into Minimoog history as it is conveyed through the main gallery of the Moogseum. She doesn't give tours often, so take advantage of this opportunity. The tours are available for a small fee for any exhibit attendee.

video upload by moogfoundation

via this Reverb listing

"The Yamaha YC45D is a dual-manual analog combo organ from the golden age of stage gear, built to compete with the Hammond sound in a portable format… though “portable” is relative, as this beast was famously overbuilt for tone and durability. With lush vibrato/chorus, drawbar control, and punchy percussion voices, it became a favorite of gigging players in the ’70s and beyond.

This unit is in good, working condition. It does not include the original stand or pedalboard. Gray lid is included, shown in last image. Some surface scuffs and two notable nicks in the chassis (shown in images).

Key Features:

Dual 61-note manuals with percussion and sustain modes
9 drawbars per manual plus dedicated bass section
Vibrato and chorus with intensity and speed control
Bass and lead voice settings with real-time switching
Gray lid version
Condition Notes:

All keys, drawbars, switches, and functions work as expected

Cosmetically light wear, good overall for its age
The YC45D has been used by everyone from Rick Wright (Pink Floyd) to Garth Hudson (The Band), and remains a favorite among collectors and retro keyboardists for its unique voicing and stage presence.

"Very good condition, serviced by Rosen Sound, and includes a light-duty Tuff Case for easy transport!

Cosmetic notes: small chip in wood veneer edge under keybed, and the mod wheel shows a bit of wear. Both of these issues are shown in the images.

Released in 1981, the Korg Mono/Poly is known for its four VCOs, flexible modulation options, and unique mono/polyphonic switching, making it a versatile beast for both fat unison leads and unique, syncopated arpeggios.

"A rare vintage combo organ with that unmistakable Farfisa sound. Removable, fold-out bottom reveals fold-down legs (one or two screws missing but still functional) and hard-wired power cable. Cable connects to the external Farfisa F/AR unit which provides power and contains the spring reverb. This unit is functionally good but it could use some internal contact cleaning in a few areas. We coaxed some very usable tones out of it in the demo video! The case itself has been "well-loved," showing moderate surface scuffs from travel.

–

This is the Compact Duo CD/30, one of Farfisa’s higher-end models from the late ’60s; basically a two-manual version of the Compact with expanded voicing and richer tone-shaping options. A favorite among garage rockers, psych bands, and analog synth fans alike.

Features:

Two manuals (upper and lower keyboards) for split/layered playing
Vibrato, tone boost, and percussion controls
Bass and organ voices with classic Farfisa tabs
Mark I version
The Compact Duo was used extensively by Pink Floyd (Echoes, etc.); a favorite for its gritty tone and punchy presence on stage and in the studio.
