"This listing is for one Minimoog Pitch bend/ Modulation wheel. These clear wheels were used in the early RA Moog, Moog muSonics, and early Moog Music Inc Minimoogs. This one is brand new and has never been installed. It is very unlikely that you'll ever see another that is new like this and extremely uncommon to see these listed used.

‪@PlantWave‬ Meets the “Plantasia” Moog Modular | Live Jam

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music and PlantWave

"Join me for a one-of-a-kind musical experience filmed inside the iconic Mickey Hargitay Plants in Hollywood. In this special session, I’m improvising on the legendary 1969 Moog IIIc “Plantasia” Modular Synthesizer—the same model used on Mort Garson’s Mother Earth's Plantasia—along with my Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, while the plants themselves generate melodies through PlantWave.

How PlantWave Works
PlantWave is a bio-music device that connects to a plant’s leaves and measures subtle changes in electrical conductivity. Those fluctuations are translated into MIDI data, which then becomes musical notes, rhythms, and patterns. It’s not “the plant playing an instrument” in the human sense—it's more like the plant’s natural signals being converted into music we can hear and respond to.

The Jam
As PlantWave transforms real-time electrical signals from the plants into beautiful, evolving musical patterns, I’m tuning in, responding, and improvising on the Moog IIIc and 3rd Wave—matching their phrases with my own melodies and rhythms. Every moment emerges organically, completely unique, and impossible to recreate the same way twice.

About the Location
Mickey Hargitay Plants has been an LA landmark for decades, and creating this performance surrounded by their lush greenery made the experience even more magical.

This is a rare combination of vintage analog synthesis, modern wavetable power, plant-generated musical data, and real-time human improvisation. I hope you enjoy this unique collaboration between nature and machines."

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 7: Patterns

video upload by Moog Music

Synthesizing with Moog

"'Synthesizing with Moog' invites you on an enlightening journey that answers a complex question: how exactly do synthesizers work?

In the seventh and final episode of Synthesizing with Moog, we zoom out from the discreet moment of the note and look at how the synthesizer creates patterns and musical phrases. The sequencer was initially created by Don Buchla as a rudimentary preset storage system, sending preset voltage values to various parameters of the synthesizer. When a square wave oscillator (or clock) signal is used to address the stages of the sequencer, melodies begin to emerge, bringing us back to the fluidity of time.

Written, hosted, filmed, and produced by our team of electronic musical instrument experts, this new seven-part educational video series makes learning the fundamentals of synthesis accessible, engaging, and inspiring for anyone curious about science, music, and how the two worlds converge. We set out to create a series that brings you as much technical knowledge as it does entertainment and joy as you watch each episode!

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."

MOOG Messenger Sequencer, Arppegiator, & Spectravox Feedback

video uploads by Moog Music

Playlist:

1. Messenger | Sequencer Functionality

Messenger features a deep generative sequencer with functionality inspired by Muse. With features like Note Pool paired with Note Probability, Gate probability, and the ability to store a unique sequence per-patch, Messenger’s sequencer provides an intuitive way to build up complex melodic sequences that can spin off into new permutations at the touch of a button.

2. Messenger | Arppegiator Functionality

Messenger features an extremely flexible arpeggiator with functionality inspired by the arp found in Muse. With the ability to chose both traditional or newer advanced note movement patterns, program rhythms, and the option to store a unique arp style per-patch, Messenger’s arpeggiator is a powerful tool for music composition and developing new song ideas.

3. Messenger | Spectravox Feedback

In this video we look at how to use Spectravox and Messenger together to create feedback tones verging on the edge of destruction.

Spectravox is a flexible signal processor which adds lots of sonic character to any signal we patch into it. Using a basic sound from Messenger we can add distortion and saturation using Spectravox's pre-amp section as well as deep modulated phaser tones with its ten filters. Messenger's control voltage output allows us to control parameters of Spectravox (in this case the Spectral Shift LFO rate) using Messenger's keyboard. Later, we look at tying Spectravox and Messenger together in a feedback loop - patching the headphone output of Messenger to the Program input of Spectravox, the Program output of Spectravox to its Carrier Input, and then the output of Spectravox to the External Input of Messenger. With careful balance of the EXT IN/FB control and various parameters on both Spectravox and Messenger, a whole new world of gnarly and nonlinear feedback tones opens up.

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 6: Carrier

video upload by Moog Music

Synthesizing with Moog

"In the 1970s, composer John Chowning used early computers to experiment with extreme vibrato effects. Modulating the pitch of a sound with an LFO gives a nice vibrato, but raise the frequency of the LFO into the audio rate and all of a sudden dense new textures are created. In this episode we look at how to create harmonics using basic waveshapes through processes such as Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), and distortion effects like saturation and wavefolding.

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.
