Moog Announces Release of 500 Series Analog Delay

"Moog Announces Release of 'Analog Delay,' First Delay Designed Exclusively for the 500 Series Pro Audio Format

100 Percent Analog Signal Path Module Features 800ms of Analog Delay Time, Midi Control and Assignable Tap Tempo/CV Jack on Front Panel

ASHEVILLE, NC – October 26, 2012 – Today Moog Music announced the release of the “Analog Delay," the first delay designed and created exclusively for the 500 series pro audio format. The Analog Delay is a 100% analog signal path module that features 800ms of delay time, front panel MIDI control, and an assignable Tap Tempo/CV jack on its front panel. Included with each unit is a free VST/AU/RTAS editor for easy implementation into any recording, live, and performance situation.

The Analog Delay has been designed with tone, connectivity, and flexibility at the forefront. Moog’s engineering team worked tirelessly to deliver a delay with an incredibly clean front end that could easily be pushed into a warm, natural overdrive for saturated delay trails or distorted delay effects.

Though not on the front panel, the Analog Delay features a 6 Waveshape LFO that allows users to create other time based effects such as tape delay, chorus and extremely modulated sounds. The LFO is easily accessed via MIDI and the free VST/AU/RTAS Analog Delay plug-in editor.

Also accessible via the included editor are advanced features like Tap/CV input routing, Keyboard Control settings, Clock Divisions and a Delay Multiplier for access to illegal delay times (up to 4x the front panel position). In addition to Tap Tempo and CV control, the Tap/CV input can also convert click track audio into a tap tempo signal.

The new Moog 500 Series Analog Delay module will be debuting at the 2012 AES conference in San Francisco booth 1222 and is expected to begin shipping in Dec. 2012

"I do not know much about Electronics, but this unit came from a Story & Clark Console Piano/Organ. It is an Organ Attachment for a piano and has all the wiring and hooks attached. It also has the 71 vacuum tubes as shown in the photos. It does not have the keyboard. I believe, this would be a REAL FIND for someone interested in electronics. It is from the 1950's - 60's."

Anyone know more about these?
