Moog System 1 custom 55/35 modular 3C - £25,000

The ultimate modular synthesizer. Originally conceived by Dr Robert A. Moog in the mid sixties as a less bulky, more affordable alternative to the famous experimental RCA Mark 2 (which filled several rooms), it became the instrument that made synthesized music popular, especially thanks to Walter Carlos' album "Switched On Bach", a massive hit in 1968. Other artists, like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Emerson, Lake & Palmer also explored the possibilities of the Moog in mainstream music and even used it for live performances. But the modular systems were generally too complex and expensive for most musicians, designed as they were for studio composition of electronic music, and Moog went on to produce more performance oriented instruments such as the brilliant Minimoog.


System 1 consists of 2 cabinets.

Cabinet 1
# 2 x 921A Oscillator Driver

Custom Moog Modular System 55 For Sale

"Modules Included: 901, 901A, 3-901B, 4-902, 903, 2-904A, 904B, 907A, 4-911, 911A, 921, 951, 960, 961CP, 962CP, 984, 991, custom 994 (3x), 2-CP3A, CP4A, upgraded CP8A


This Custom Moog Modular System 55 has two very unique features: Two 904A low pass filters and both the 901 and 921 series oscillators. Having two 904A's greatly expands the flexibility of the sound engine and the addition of the 921 control oscillator adds functionality while maintaining the richness of the sonically superior 901 series. The system also has an upgraded power supply which helps maintain oscillator stability. This synthesizer was not designed to be looked at or used as a fancy minimoog -it was built to be a complete and complex electronic sound machine. $62,000.00 For show in LA, CA. Serious inquires and buyers only contact: info@aisounddesign.com"

Update via 3P in the comments: "Not a 55. Module placement is different, the Moog module logos are Trumansburg/Williamsburg era. And there are no 921 Series oscillators."

And via Unknown in the comments, there's actually a 921 in the system. Top row to the left of the four channel mixer, pictured here to the left.

Update2 via the seller: "What is meant by 'System 55' is basically a main cab with single tier, rather than a 35 which was just the main cab. "Module placement is different" ie "Custom." Looks like a 921 and there are a lot of RA Moog logos. This system is a unique design; a hybrid of multiple generations. Also note that the 962CP is very rare, most module lists don't seem to mention it."


Update3 via Brian in the comments: "Likely NOT delivered from the factory that way. It is what it is, but calling it a System 55 is not correct. The 901 oscillators were discontinued in 1972, when the 921's replaced them. At the time, NO ONE felt the 901s were superior in any way (some of us now think differently). I see a mixture of RAMoog (1960s generally) and Moog Music modules there (1972 and later), too.


Again - any customer could order anything from the factory, but it's highly unlikely this was ordered this way; rather it is built from traded in-out components to make a great system. I'd MUCH prefer to have one like this with both sets of oscillators. All the MAJOR synths by major players were not stock catalog versions, but custom rigs for their needs."

Update4: via Moog1P in the comments: " The bottom cabinet looks to be an early 1C configuration. Every component is there, with the blank panels replaced with the 962CP and 961CP. The placement of the two CP3 mixers would have been to the left, under the 901AB bank and under the 901. At some time the system looks to be upgraded with the installed CP961/962 sequencer components, where the CP blanks were removed, and CP3's moved to the right.

Would be an early 1C as this one has the very first Lexan type lighted flip switchs, only seen on late '67, early'68 models. All the correct lexan switches are there, two sets for the oscillators, and a set for the filter, with trigger/envelope routing, making the cabinet a 1C. The 2C would have 3 CP3 mixers, and the 3C would have 4 CP3 mixers with no CP routing switches, as they were on seperate 1U panels for filter and trigger/envelope.


The module placement above is what you would order any way you wanted. Not uncommon to order a 1C with an extra 901C, and to ommit the 905 reverb to add the 904B high pass filter, direct from the factory. Looks like what we have here. The only other addition to the lower cabinet is the 1U blank replaced with 911A trigger delay. And at some time (definitely not Moog), the removal of the Cinch male S-trigger from the 1/2/3 trigger outputs. (Probably done when the CP3's were moved and 961/962CP added.)

The upper cabinet is an add on, possibly at a later time, but could have been part of the original order. At that time the additional 984 quad mixer, envelopes, VCA's were added. The 960 sequencer, probably added much later, when the bottom CP panels were moved. And much later 921 added. Does not look to me to be a unit made from other Moogs, but rather a 1C with a few add-ons. Everything is there from an early 1C with many period correct additions. Very nice unit, only missing the 905 reverb and 956 ribbon controller. Wouldn't take much to undo those questionable mods to restore this to original specs."

36) CP3A (with locking pot mod)
37) Blank Moog Panel
38) 950 Keyboard Controller (RA Moog, 07/06/68)

The reason for some modules being RA Moog, some being from '73, and others dating from '76-'77, is because as Emerson would service his monster Moog's modules one at a time, he would swap between units. Although at one point this was an intact '76/'77 System, it has since been serviced and repaired, as Emerson's demanding touring schedule dictated.

The auction includes both original cabinets, (although the smaller top cabinet is in rough shape due to tour abuse), a reissue 22-space top cabinet, a reissue keyboard garage/stand, an original 950 RA Moog controller, and a variety of cables. Everything one needs to fully use this synth will be included.

As explained, this synth works perfectly and sounds amazing. We encourage local interest to come view, inspect, and hear the unit in person."

Update3: It looks like this may not be Keith Emerson's after all. The following is via an email from "Keith Emerson Business Office" forwarded to me by Michelle Moog-Koussa of the Bob Moog Foundation.

"Dear All,

Please post/forward this everywhere. Keith does not wish anyone to fall victim of fraud, especially for $15100 or potentially much more.

This item sold on ebay is claimed to have been owned by Keith Emerson.
It is either
1) constructed with stolen parts, or
2) complete misrepresentation (It was never owned by Keith).

Keith does own a small back-up unit that is supposed to be in a storage unit, but it looks nothing like the photos on this page. He has NEVER sold or given any MOOG units to anyone.

Keith asked the seller to disclose the name of the person who sold it to him, but he refused to disclose the info. (Keith has a very good idea who that is, and I'm sure you do too)

Keith requested the seller to remove the listing, and has reported the fraudulent listing to eBay."

Moog Announces New Modular Systems for 2015 with Back to the Future Sounds Documentary

Back to the Future Sounds Published on Jan 19, 2015

"On January 19, 2015 Moog Music Inc. announced their plans to recommence a limited run manufacturing of three of their most sought after 5U large format modular synthesizers: The System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15. These three modular synthesizer systems were originally created and manufactured by Moog in 1973.

To commemorate the announcement, Moog shot a short film at their factory about the inspiring and multifaceted relationship artists have with modular synthesizers. The video features electronic music pioneers such as Suzanne Ciani, Malcolm Cecil, David Borden, Dick Hyman and Herb Deutsch alongside performances on the new Moog modular systems by Holy Ghost! (DFA Records), Gavin Russom (ECSTATIC/Entropy Trax), Max Ravitz AKA Patricia (L.I.E.S./Opal Tapes/ Spectral Sound), Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (Western Vinyl), Jacques Greene (Vase/LuckyMe) and M. Geddes Gengras (Stones Throw/Leaving). Each artist played a patch on one or more of the new Moog modular synthesizers recorded in one take with no overdubs."

Suzanne Ciani | System 55

Published on Jan 19, 2015

"In this video, electronic music and sound design pioneer Suzanne Ciani explores the Moog modular System 55 for the first time in decades. Ciani came to the Moog factory in Asheville, NC to play the first System 55 newly handcrafted by Moog in over thirty years. The patch, created and performed live, was shot in one take and features a sequence designed on the 960 Sequential Controller that's driving three 921B oscillators into a 904B High Pass filter whose cutoff is being modulated by a 921 oscillator. A second set of 921B oscillators is also being played manually into a 904A Low Pass filter whose cutoff knob is also being modulated by the 921 oscillator. The resulting sound of each is then sent through its own dedicated MF-104M analog delay for ambience. The audio has been captured directly with no eq, compression, or editing applied."

And the press release:

"ASHEVILLE, NC – January 19, 2015 — January 19, 2014 Asheville, NC: 50 years ago, at its first introduction, the Moog modular synthesizer represented as radical a transition as Kandinski’s abstracts or Kodak’s cameras – offering both a break from yesterday and a startling glimpse of tomorrow. And, as with all cultural explosions, the impact of Dr. Bob Moog’s invention was impossible to evaluate from the epicenter. It’s only now, 50 years down the line that we can get some measure of the importance, and the sheer untapped potentiality of the Moog Modular Synthesizer.

Today, it is with great excitement that Moog Music Inc. announces their plans to re-commence the limited run manufacturing of three of their most sought after 5U large format modular synthesizers: The System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15. These three modular synthesizer systems were originally created and manufactured by Moog in 1973.

To commemorate the announcement, Moog shot a short film at their factory about the inspiring and multifaceted relationship artists have with modular synthesizers. The video features electronic music pioneers such as Suzanne Ciani, Malcolm Cecil, David Borden, Dick Hyman and Herb Deutsch alongside performances by contemporary modular artists like Holy Ghost! (DFA), Gavin Russom (ECSTATIC/Entropy Trax), Max Ravitz AKA Patricia (L.I.E.S./Spectral Sound/Opal Tapes), Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith (Western Vinyl), Jacques Greene (Vase/LuckyMe) and M. Geddes Gengras (Stones Throw). Each artist played a patch live, in one take, with no overdubs on one or more of the new Moog Modular systems.

The foundation for this announcement was laid last year at Moogfest 2014, when Moog released the Emerson Moog Modular system – a faithful recreation of Keith Emerson’s legendary modular instrument, which was the culmination of three years worth of research and engineering. Now Moog will use the techniques learned recreating the EMMS manufacturing process to once again build these modular systems. Crucially, in deference to the unique character and appeal of the original instruments, these systems will be made entirely to their original product specifications and manufacturing techniques and processes.

Working from the 1970s schematics, the System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15 will be meticulously handcrafted, as a true recreation of the original. The modules are built from the original circuit board films - just as they were in 1973- by hand-stuffing and hand-soldering components to circuit boards, and using traditional wiring methods. The front panels are photo-etched aluminum, a classic process rarely still used in today’s synthesizer manufacturing, to maintain the classic and durable look of vintage Moog modules.

Upon their first release in 1973, the System 55, the System 35 and the Model 15 represented a high watermark for modular synthesis, and their inimitable tones can be heard shaping many much-loved albums. They were fundamental in the development of contemporary soul, RnB, and disco from giving Stevie Wonder’s classic run of 70s LPs their questing, innovative edge, to providing Giorgio Moroder with the pulsating machine melodies that ushered in electronic dance. At the same time, these were the instruments that inspired Brian Eno to push further out into seas of layered tranquillity on his pioneering ambient albums, or provoked bands like Yes and Tangerine Dream to blast their sonic freak outs into the cosmos.

However, the reintroduction of these instruments is not about reliving the past – while much incredible work has been done with the Moog Modular, there is so much further yet to be explored in this relatively young instrument. Artists had only begun to grasp the vast possibilities of these large format modular synthesizers when they went out of production over thirty years ago. Decades of electronic experimentation have enabled musicians to move on from viewing the Moog Modular as a replacement for traditional instrumentation. Now a new generation of artists, with a greater understanding and more complex tools, will have the opportunity to explore the power of these singular sonic machines. Today, the modular synthesizer is viewed in the manner Bob Moog originally intended: to “discover endless offbeat, unconventional, and even irrational ways of working.”

The dedicated nature of the Moog modular rebuilding process is such that the units will come in extremely limited quantities. There will be 55 units of the System 55, priced at $35,000 per instrument; 35 of units of the System 35, priced at $22,000 per instrument; and 150 units of the Model 15, priced at $10,000 per instrument.

Alongside these Moog Modular Systems will be the Sequencer Complement B Expansion Cabinet, a dual 960 Sequential Controller, an accompaniment to the System 35 and System 55, that has been out of production for over 30 years– as well as an optional 5-Octave duo phonic keyboard."

One brochure is 4 pages covering the Moog Modular 921 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (Master Oscillator), the other brochure is 4 pages covering the Moog Modular 921A Oscillator Driver and the 921B Oscillator. Both brochures are very good condition, especially for being around 38 years old. No writing, no highlights, no punch holes. The day of wonderful musical instrument brochures has all but passed. Brochures like these are around, but getting harder and harder to find just like the synthesizers themselves. See pics. NOTE: This is an original brochure, NOT A MAGAZINE AD. Only two brochures are in this auction. Nothing else."

"I patched the 953 CV and triggers 1&2 to two separate channels.

CV/trig 2 go to the 921 oscillator and the second VCA and third EG (which I built) combination. Without the third EG it could still be done but I wouldn't be getting the filter envelope on the CV 1 channel.

I'm using a Sine out from the 921 and only "2nd notes" after the 1st is held are play the Sine."

The SYNTH-WERK Model 15 can serve you in many ways:

IN THE STUDIO
Make your Model 15 the center of your recording studio and upgrade your modular synthesizer setup with a sound that cre- ated legends. Except for phone-plug-size 5U-modules are by the way fully compatible and patchable to Eurorack Systems, so it ́s not about adding another niche, it’s about expanding your own musical eco-Model and let it grow.

ON STAGE
The SYNTH-WERK Model 15 is a powerfull performer, longing to be used live on stage. Whether you will use it with a sequenc- ing-unit or a keyboard, be assured to have some outstanding sonic possibilities right there at your fingertips. Playing this won- derful instrument is more like talking to an old friend, analogue to that time and space being second-tier – so: enjoy!

The Synthesizer 15 build from 1974 on, equal to its numbered 12 and 10 predeces- sor, was a landmark of craftsmanship.

Likewise its forerunner, the SYNTH-WERK Model 12 is considered an extraordinary example of a supreme and compact com- bination of 5U-tools with explicit portability in mind. Every single unit is composed from a careful selection of the finest prime parts available. At heart it relies on our latest achievement in successfully recre- ating the versatility of the 921 Oscillator in every aspect imaginable, resulting in a SW921A Control Unit combined with two SW921B-Oscillators, alongside an indepen- dent SW921 module.

Compared to the puristic design and mu- sical rawness of its ancestor, the SYNTH- WERK 921 unfolds its capabilities likewise in a much more sophisticated and grownup manner, accompanied by increased tonal flexibility. This is mainly obtained by careful observation of the original build and meanwhile rethinking the whole circuit to produce a VCO that sounds as good as the original. Therefore we respectfully integrat- ed only highly accurate parts and authentic NOS parts, following the original circuit design without any compromise!

The units are extended by a classic SW903A Random Signal Generator as well as the voltage controllable famous lowpass Ladder Filter model SW904A which imparts essentially every audiosource imaginable with its unique character.

More sound sculpting possibilities are implemented with a SW907A Half-octave Filter module that is capable to come up with some structural and flexible formant shaping, not at least due to some integrated custom made high-class inductors. Besides dynamic modulation the two SW911 ele- ments can be used to describe the contour and envelope of the resulting sound by targeting the SW902 Amplifier or as well controlling the SW904A Lowpass-Filter. Regarding attack and decay times you can choose from the same luscious bandwidth like its reference from two milliseconds up to ten seconds.

It is worth mentioning, that you can decide to go for a custom configuration containing the advanced SW914 Fixed Filter Bank, a MIDI/CV Interface or any other configura- tion you desire. The SYNTH-WERK Model 15 ships perfectly embraced in a tolex cov- ered replica of an original Moog Style trav- el-enclosure with front lid and an integrated well-spaced custom power supply unit.

Update via Guido on AH:
"Let me bring everyone up to date on my Buchla saga.

I bought a very large Moog from a gentleman in California for $13,500 shipped.

I took a Moog 15's worth of modules out of the system along with a Bode frequency shifter and the 960/962 combo. I already had a fire damaged 960/962 along with a Moog filter bank and a 921 oscillator bank.

I made a Moog 15 and extension cabinet with the "good" 960/962 and the Bode.

I traded Paul a "Moog 55's" worth of modules straight across for a large Buchla 200.

Only three Buchla modules were damaged by the coke or coffee spillage. The 219 keyboard and both Marfs. I sent those to JL in Canada who, after six months, had not gotten them to work. So I sold them...not working...to a gentleman in California for $11,500.

I had aquired 3-259 "kits" from Don and had Julie Yarbrough build them for around $1000 each. I also had her build a 281 "kit". I put those in the 200 along with my 208 and 218 from my Music Easel. She also refurbished the other modules for around $2500 or so. I then aquired two more 259's from David Kean for $5000. I eventually sold the original Buchla built 259's (for what I paid) because the "kit" 259's sounded, worked and looked better.

I had Peter Grenader build a Milton for the Buchla. This was around $2000. I also bought a 221 touch keyboard from Kean for $4000.

I used the system for two years or so and got an offer I could not refuse for it, minus the Easel and Milton, for $46,000. I took it. I then sold that same cat my Milton for $1750. I also sold the Moog 15 for $7500 and the 960 extension cab, MINUS the Bode, for $5500.

I sold the Bode to a very persistant gentleman in California for....$6,000!

So let's do the math:
I bought-
large Moog $13,500
Moog filter bank $1750
Moog 921 bank $2000
2 Moog 15 cabs $500
Buchla restoration/modules $5500
Buchla 221 $4000

Total $27,500

Traded a Moog 55's worth of modules for the 200.

I sold the Moog 15 for $7500. Sold the extension Moog cab for $5500. Sold the two Buchla modules for $11,500. Sold the Bode for $6,000. Sold the big 200 system for $46,000.

Total $76,500

I still have the Easel. I also aquired a mint Moog 35 last year, so I still have a "rig".

I hope this brings everyone up to date on my Buchla 200/Easel and financial gossip.

MOOG System 12 Modular

Details:
"The synth was built on 9/21/73 and also has some of the original R A Moog modules. Also included are eleven of the original 1/4 audio patch cords, 4 trigger patch cords, Moog Modular service manual and a photocopy of the Moog System 15 users manual. All of the modules on the synth are complete (including the original knobs), work perfectly and were never adjusted or re-calibrated (which can be done with the use of the included service manual, if you know what you are doing!). The keyboard is also complete and works properly including the gold contacts which were just cleaned with De-Ox compound. Both original covers for the keyboard and main cabinet are also included. The original socket recepticle on the power cord was cracked, partially disintegrated and was replaced by seperate crimped connectors (its not original but is does work and is electrically safe!) The cabinet tolex is in good shape with no rips or tears but has been refinished to cover the stenciling that the original owner (which was a west coast college) painted numbers on it for inventory and theft control. The pictures show the current tolex condition which looks 100 percent better then it did when I got it! The original modules, power supply and cabinet still have the original yellow Moog manufacturing stickers in place. Now the upgrade part! - three new modules were added to replace the original Moog 907 fixed filter bank module, which in my opinion is a glorified EQ!. These new modules were made by Mike Bucki at Moog Custom Engineering and consist of a 904B High Pass Filter, 911A Dual Trigger Delay and 1528 Sample and Hold. The original Moog and some of the R A Moog modules consist of a 902 VCA, 903 Noise Source, 904A Low Pass Filter, two 911 Envelope Generators. 921 oscillator, 921A Oscillator Driver and two 921B Oscillators."
