NES Advantage Noise Synth

This device consists of three square-wave oscillators built into a NES Advantage controller. The joystick plays 4 pitches and the frequency spread is tuned with the first knob at the bottom. A and B control two additional oscillators with their own frequency controls. These also utilize the original TURBO effect which sounds like a stutter each with a on/off and speed control. The oscillators nicely modulate each other creating a wide array of noise.
Player select has been repurposed as a power switch, select and start have been replaced by red lights, and slow works as a way to hold down the A trigger and free up a hand.
There is a master volume control. Output is in the form of a standard 1/4" jack at the end of the original cable, which makes it easy to connect to amps, effects, or recording equipment. It is powered by an included external 9 volt battery."

"This version of Kimi Ga Yo, the Japanese national anthem on the Moog Lap Steel is a musical example of the instrument's sustained and muted timbres."
Realistic MG-1 by MOOG
via this auction
SN 1237 or 1437
pics of the inside below.
"Though this bares the Realistic brand name and only has the Moog name in small print, this synth was manufactured by Moog Music in their factory and just sold at Radio Shack stores under their brand name. The circuit board has the Moog logo that you've all seen many times before (see the pictures below). 
I put the Rogue name in the title because this unit was designed to be a budget version of the Rogue for the home user. The funny thing is though that it actually has a few extra features that are missing from the Rogue: 1. Indivdually switchable waveforms for each oscillator (rather than ganged on the Rogue)
2. Individually switchable octave for each osc (rather than ganged on the Rogue)
3. Ring Mod sound source (called Bell Tone)
4. Extra poly section. This is often referred to as the "crappy 'organ' sound", but it's an extra feature that can be useful.
5. Internal power supply with attached cord (the Rogue has an external power supply that has a unique connector, so replacements are difficult to come by)
The only things the Rogue has over the MG-1 are:
1. Performance wheels (the MG-1 has sliders for mod depth but no pitch bend ability).
2. Fully variable keyboard tracking (the MG-1 has off, half, full - switched)
There are a few other quirks that this unit has because of it being aimed at the home market. Many of the controls has different labels (Oscillators are called Tone Source, Attack and Decay are referred to as Rise and Fall Time, etc). It also has RCA outputs on the back. There is a 1/4" headphone output on the front which is what I'ved used and it works great. Many people mod theirs to replace the RCA with 1/4" inputs. There are two RCA inputs but they just pass the sound through uneffected so that users could play along with their record collection. Many people have modded those inputs to pass through the Filter section. MIDI can also be added to this unit by mod.
This unit is usually found for less than the Moog Rogue simply because it doesn't have the Moog logo on it. If you want that famous Moog sound for less, then get this synth! It has great features and has some serious bass to it!"

I have tested using my Minimoog and Prophet 5 as the input carrier signal and get some lovely vocoder effects from weird to smooth polyphonic chords"
Accelerator Chord Sequencing (audio begins at 00:22)
YouTube Uploaded by bigcitymusic on Aug 25, 2011
"This board is amazing. We started digging into the sequencer functions and there is just so much this beauty can do.
One feature we really like is being able to hold a sequencer step pot and enter a note in. In fact you can enter whole chords into the sequencer memory virtually instantaneously. Just push and hold the desired step's knob and play the note or chord. Nice!"
