MOOG Satellite Vintage Synth (Model 5330)

via this auction

"A monophonic analog synthesizer with a 37-note keyboard.
Designed and manufactured by Thomas Organ Company, in production between 1974 and 1979. Also known as the Model 5330.

The Satellite is said to be Moog's response to the ARP Pro-Soloist, and it is very similar to the MinitMoog.

2 VCOs are included. VCO1 features pulse and sawtooth waveforms while VCO2 is a saw-only oscillator.* The filter is a 2-pole (12dB/octave) resonant low-pass VCF with an AD envelope generator. A single LFO with triangle and square modes is available, and there is a CV/gate interface for external sync.

Preset sounds include brass, reeds, strings, bell, and the far-out new lunar sound."

The custom Moog sticker below is on the outside of the case.
