"Spelled Moroco and not Morocco. This is a fantastic dual multimode filter with 4 LFOs and 2 envelope generators and midi control. It seems there may have only been 8 made. The photos show one of 2 units we have - this may or may not be the one we sell, but they are in the same condition (just about perfect). Fully tested and working great. Not sure how to put on a price on such a rare item. Price will definitely be negotiable if it doesn’t sell for a while, though if you miss this one, it’s likely you won’t find another anywhere cause they’re that rare."

There have only been four posts prior to this one mentioning the Moroco. There was a video which is unfortunately gone. You can however see the original announcement post with digital flyer there. Only one other was listed for sale.

"I am currently prototyping the moroco stereo synthesizer- it is the moroco and more- twice the height in rackspace too…"

Sequencer.de found the the above on his forum. The image to the left is the old Moroco taken from MacBeth Studio Systems.

I'm starting to visualize walls of MacBeth - M5s, Morocos, M3Xs...
