"The µFold is a collaborated design with David G. Dixon.
Features:
Fold control with a cv input and dedicated attenuator.
Thru-zero symmetry control with a bipolar cv input and dedicated attenuator.
Stages switch to select 2, 4 or 6 stages of folding.
Trimmer on back to set the maximum drive amount in order to limit the range of the timbre shaping to a more subtle amount if needed.
DCcoupled inputs so you can also feed cv to be folded.
We looked very closely at how some of the most loved timbre shaping circuits worked in classic synth modules; Not just in how they were implemented electronically but how they sounded and how efficient they were to get great sounds. it was important that their design was very versatile in range of timbres but still easy to use and with well thought out control ranges.
When combining the Dixie, μVCA, μFade and μFold you can achieve extremely complex palette of sounds with just a few modules!"

"Build Your Own Moog Analog Monosynth!
The Moog Werkstatt is a build-it-yourself synthesizer kit that lets you create your own analog monophonic synthesizer, even if you don't have any electronics experience. Consider yourself lucky to have the opportunity - the Werkstatt was originally a project designed for Moog's synth-building workshop at MoogFest '14. Due to incredible demand, Moog has released this snap-together kit through a select group of dealers. With Moog's legendary 4-pole ladder filter and surprising flexibility from its semi-modular design, you'll be rewarded handsomely for building your own Moog Werkstatt.
Moog Werkstatt Analog Synthesizer Kit at a Glance:
Anyone can build this fat-sounding analog synth
Classic Moog mojo from the 4-pole ladder filter
Ready to play right away with a built-in button keyboard
Anyone can build this fat-sounding analog synth
This Werkstatt analog synth is a snap-together kit that doesn't require an electronics background to build. If you are into electronics though, you're in luck - the Werkstatt is designed so you can easily customize your own circuits, break out signals, and add additional inputs.
Classic Moog mojo from the 4-pole ladder filter
We've got to thank the classic 4-pole filter design for the iconic Moog sound. You'll be glad to know you get that same filter design in the Werkstatt analog synth kit. It's got resonance, and you can modulate it with either an envelope or LFO. Even the most progressive sound designers at Sweetwater will tell you that sometimes all you need for an awesome lead or bass is a sawtooth wave through a Moog filter.
Ready to play right away with a built-in button keyboard
The Moog Werkstatt analog synth sports a 13-note button keyboard. You'll be surprised at how expressive you can get with this keypad. You can play legato with lowest-note priority, and a glide control lets you do everything from rounding off the edges to performing slow, expansive pitch sweeps.
Moog Werkstatt Analog Synthesizer Kit Features:
A build-it-yourself Moog synthesizer!
Easy for anyone to build thanks to its snap-together design (no soldering required)
Packs the legendary 4-pole ladder filter for the classic Moog sound
Wide-ranging oscillator pitch, from 8Hz to 16kHz
Flexible filter effects with modulation via envelope or LFO
Oscillator can follow the envelope or can be set to drone
Ready to play with a built-in 13-note button keyboard

Some info via the seller: "Ok...., as far as i can tell its a finished project all parts there on the circuit boards with just a few wires to connect, keyboard and power supply socket which i have.
I had an external power supply made up by a professional who knows his synths, (ex BBC tech)
he has been inside these beasts before.
He thinks the power supply may have been taken out and an external one used as inside is a reverb tank that could have been picking up interference from the original, Makes sense.
The keyboard itself looks as if its never been played as its in excellent condition and is still in need of fixing down, about 4 screws i think but all the wood inside it fixes to is fitted.
This will definitely need servicing and some of the pots/controls are a bit stiff so some spray could well sort them out, also as you can probably tell if you know these synths is that its missing all its coloured caps, i personally think it looks far better like this and not like a toy but again these can be easily sourced if you wanted it totally original.
It has 6 of the original pins for the matrix board and i will supply info as to where to get more if you want them, i have collected all i could from the web about this synth which includes the original building and setting instructions plus other stuff."
