"1- PRECISSION VOLTAGE CONTROL OSCILLATOR
2- NEW TIMBRAL OSCILLATOR
3- TRIPLE WAVESHAPER
4- DUAL AUDIO MIXER
5- UNIVERSAL EQUAL POWER AUDIO PROCESSOR (ONE KNOB IS BENT)
6- DUAL PHASER (THREE KNOBS ARE BENT BUT THIS CAN BE FIXED)

Nearly all voltage control functions of the SERGE modules are accurately log-linear. This means that a control voltage will be directly proportional to the logarithm of the effect it produces, whether the effect is a change in amplitude, duration, or frequency. Log-linearity is essential because we perceive differences in these parameters as a function of the ratio of the change, rather than as a function of the difference. We hear an octave (a ratio of 2 to 1 between two frequencies) whether the frequencies are 200 and 100 Hz or 2000 and 1000 Hz.

All Timing and Frequency Ranges Are Wide Range
The minimum range of any module in the SERGE system is at least 10,000 to 1, from the highest to the lowest frequency, or from the longest to the shortest duration. In many modules the ratio is typically 100,000 to one, and in some cases exceeds 1,000,000 to 1.

Input Processing At VC Inputs
This allows a voltage to be scaled at an input with regards to both the depth or intensity of its effect as well as its direction. The response of the module to a control voltage can be set at the processing input, reducing the need for intermediate processors and inverters.

Calibrated Inputs
Experience has shown that it is also desirable to have pre-scaled control voltage inputs at 1 volt per octave, especially when using keyboards or computer controls. All SERGE oscillators, filters, and envelope generators have both calibrated and processing type inputs

These modules are at the heart of the versatility of the SERGE synthesizer. Examples can be seen in such modules as the Smooth & Stepped Function Generator, the Dual Universal Slope Generator, and the Universal Equal-Power Audio Processor

A Unique Packaging System
The SERGE synthesizer owes much of its versatility, portability, and affordability to the way it is packaged. Nearly any configuration of modules can be grouped together into one or more standard Panel/Racks. All holes are pre-punched to accommodate the entire line of SERGE modules. Jacks, switches, and other components are mounted onto the front Panel, and then the printed circuit boards are fitted into the Rack assembly behind the Panel. Since the Rack and its printed circuit boards open away from the Panel like a page in a book, both the initial assembly and its subsequent inspection are simplified.

Compatibility With Other Equipment
SERGE systems are electrically compatible with other synthesizers and audio equipment. When required, interfacing can usually be handled at each module's processing input. Adapters for other types of patchcords can be easily installed on the Panel

Ease of Incorporating Custom Mode/s
This is another benefit of the Panel/Rack package. Custom circuits can be installed into the Panel without drilling a single hole. Using standard Vectorboard, circuits can be fitted into the Rack and wired to front panel components. Custom faceplate graphics are easily applied without any special materials. The end result is a custom module integrated into the SERGE synthesizer with minimum effort."

The Bob Moog Memorial Museum

Via The Bob Moog Foundation:
"We envision the Bob Moog Memorial Museum as both an information resource and a place to connect with Bob's spirit. The Museum will house Bob's personal and professional archives, which include: writings, photos, instruments, schematic drawings, articles written by and about him, an extensive collection of electronic music, and other Moog artifacts. The goal is to make this an educational, interactive museum open to students, researchers and music historians, and for all people interested in engaging with the Moog legacy. We are also considering an exhibit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame."

And via Ileana Grams-Moog on Caring Bridge:
"To preserve his home and workshop in Big Briar Cove, near Asheville, as a museum and archive of his life and work, as well as a nature preserve. It would be a place to connect with him as a craftsman (he partly designed the house, laid the floors, plumbed and wired it, arranged the spring-fed water system, and cut the wood to heat it), as a historian of electronic music (he left a remarkable collection of slides and records of electronic music), as a designer of musical instruments ( through an extensive archive of material about him, and in the building where he hand-built theremins for many years), and as a nature lover (the house is surrounded by old second-growth forest full of animals, birds, and plants native to Western North Carolina). This project is particularly dear to my heart. He loved Big Briar Cove, and it would be a place for his fans to connect with him on many levels."

I can't wait to take my daughter there. She and I will finally get to see where all the magic came from.
