“Up for auction is a seriously awesome synth, the MemoryMoog Plus with midi. All oscillators are in tune (see pic). It comes with the original owner’s manual, double footswitch, and schematics.
If you are checking out this auction, you know how great this synth is, so I will spare you all the usual verbage.
There are a couple of cosmetic imperfections (I tried to document them in the photos), a tiny chip in the wood, a slightly yellow spot on one of the keys, and the aluminum back panel bows out a bit toward one of the sides. I have had a couple of the keys not ‘fire’ every time when playing it. I think the contacts probably just need a little cleaning.” Link

“Up for auction is a wonderful piece of musical history. This analogue monster will inspire you in so many musical directions.

All 6 oscillators tune up properly. All the functions work perfectly.

As you can see by the pictures, the wood and casing is close to perfect. Comes with custom case. Original manual and schematics. ” Link

“I’ve owned this vintage Minimoog (serial #7578) since late 1976 and am its second owner. In 1999, it was electronically refurbished and updated with the Lintronics MIDI retrofit by the best tech in the synth business, John “J.L.” Leimseider. Excerpt from www.lintronics.de/minimoog.html: “The Lintronics MIDI Converter (LMC) is a high-performance MIDI interface designed by Rudi Linhard to place the expressive potential of the Minimoog under MIDI control. The LMC uses state-of-the-art digital circuitry and software and includes an internal, programmable, wide-range, multi-waveform LFO that can be used in addition to, or in place of, the Minimoog’s LFO. Pitch, pitch bend, filter cutoff, loudness, modulation amount, and the internal LFO’s rate and depth can all be controlled through MIDI in real time and with high resolution. In addition, the Glide and Decay functions can be turned on and off through MIDI. The LMC circuitry is contained on a single circuit board installed inside the Minimoog, and uses its power supply.” Note that the Lintronics retrofit is for reception only, not transmission, and has no effect on the Minimoog’s standard operation.

This Minimoog has always lived in an entirely smoke-free environment. It was used in a few outdoor concerts under the sun, resulting in slight warping on the right side of the black plastic faceplate, and the bottom right corner has snapped off. There are minor scratches on either side of the wooden cabinet, but otherwise the Minimoog is in perfect working condition. It comes with Dr. Tom Rhea’s manual, documentation for the LMC retrofit, a 9′ S-trigger cable terminated with male ¼” TS and S-Trigger plugs at either end, and an ATA-rated Anvil case in which I’ve replaced the original, deteriorated innards with new polyethylene foam.

Bid now and win the auction and, along with two vintage 12″ x 5″ Moog stickers, I’ll include a brand new copy of the first edition of Vintage Synthesizers, not only featuring an outstanding article written about the Minimoog Model D by the late, great BOB MOOG himself, but also personally signed by the author SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU!” Link

“For sale, a used Moog brand Memorymoog electric keyboard synthesizer. All photographs and the video below are of the actual synthesizer for sale in this auction. I don’t know anything about synthesizers and I am not the original owner of this one. I turned it on to see if it works (see video above) and cleaned the exterior. I am told by the original owner that this synthesizers has been in storage (in its original box) for the last 15 years. He also tells me that one of the oscillators is out of tune.

Upon auto-tuning, I was only able to get the message “4 TUNED” (see photo) instead of “6 TUNED.” The original owner told me that this problem may be fixed by simply replacing a capacitor in the oscillator circuit, and has highlighted the appropriate component in the service manual. Finally, the memory battery is dead.

I would be happy to check the functionality of any of the other features of this item.” Link

“This Realistic Concertmate MG-1 synth/keyboard has been tested here at Atomic Music and it functions without issue. As it is pre-owned/used, expect that there are some cosmetic blemishes on its exterior. If, in any pictures, knobs/faders/sliders are broken or missing, assume that no repairs or replacements will be made and that this item will be sold as pictured. Please come by the store to test this item out for yourself and to view its condition before making your purchase.” Link

“This is a Vintage MiniMoog Model D that is from the 70s is in very good condition except for oscillator 3 is not working. The serial number is 2074. Previosly owned by Disco D and has a case.” Link

“Realistic Concertmate MG-1 in very good condition.Adult owned. All functions work and all of the controls and switches have been cleaned and lubricated. Some of the ends of a few of the slider knobs are a little worn. Played with this for many years especially during Halloween …..but it is time to move on!” Link

“For sale is a Moog Taurus 1 Synth Pedal. I believe this is from the early eights, but not 100% positive on the year. If you are looking at this, you know what it does. The long plastic keys have been carefully replaced with nicer, more durable wood ones. The unit works perfectly and sounds great. Shows its age with the scuffs and small tears of a unit this old, but not abused. Just well used. With it is a nice road case for easy storage and safe transport.” Link

“It has been sitting far a while and needs a good cleaning. It seems to function fine but some of the sliders pots and switches need a good cleaning. It still had the black foam that was used back then that turns to black sludge. So after a good cleaning and some contact cleaner for hte sliders and switches you have a awesome synth with a vintage sound.” Link

“My brother is the original owner of this Mini Moog,serial # 12683, purchased around 1981. I bought it from him in 1992, and it has been safely stored for most of the past 18 years. It had a case at one time, which resulted in some foam from the case adhering to the back of the mini. (It can be seen up close in one of the pictures) It should be easily removed, but I didn’t want to risk scratching the wood or hurting the finish. There are the usual scratches and some discolorations of the finish in certain places, but overall I would consider the condition to be “good”.

The moog has not been serviced, but I plugged it in and played it today (8/25), and it sounds fantastic. I have used it over the past two years in my home studio, so it has been getting some good use. The oscillators are very stable, every function works. A few things to note: the waveform selector for oscillator 1 is missing the silver top on the knob, and the “Amount of Contour” knob is missing a small section, but it is not very noticeable. There is a slight crack in the pitch wheel, but it does not need to be replaced. A simple cleaning of the key contacts and pots would be recommended.” Link

“This Moog Source is used and in great working order. It was sold about a month ago, but returned due to some problems with shipping. Upon return it was looked over by our techs. Its pots were cleaned and a damaged plastic piece that was holding the board in place was replaced. It has been tested out (minus the cassette interface) and given a clean bill of health. Despite the cosmetic damage, it still looks and sounds great. It has a dent on the face. It is nothing that affects button operation. It also has a dented input jack that was probably sustained while a cable was plugged in. The jack works perfectly. Other than that, it just has a few missing screws on the back plate bottom. The case is still solid and not about to fall apart. It is one sturdy synth! Please refer to the photos for details.” Link

“being sold as-is. every key sounds, every knob and slider functions, but to me the oscillators sound flat and out of tune. this will probably need some minor adjusting. ask any questions and i will try and answer them, just keep in mind i am not a tech. if you have any experience working on analog synths this is probably a minor issue. i have no experience with analog synths so this is just not for me.

the synth is clean on the outside and is only missing 2 caps for the sliders in the “mixer” section.

comes with original power source and users manual. will be packaged and shipped carefully.” Link

“ITEM IS IN GOOD SHAPE. PLUG IN A USE HEADPHONES. ITEM SOUNDS FUNKY. ITEM CAME OUT OF A STORAGE AUCTION. YOU GET ITEM AS YOU SEE IT IN PICTURES.” Link

“I have a Moog Polymoog 203a synth I’m looking to sell. This is one of the last 100 made and has all of the factory enhancements and modifications that were made through the production run. It has also had all new divider chips (and sockets added) along with having most all the CMOS chips replaced along with most all the opamps. Replaced about 3/4′s of the transistors too. The dividers and CMOS chips were a major source of failure in the originals so I wanted to replace them all to make it much more reliable. All the LEDs have been replaced with ones that take less current (but look the same) so strain is taken off the power supply. The Ua726 reference oscillators have been replaced with brand new ones. Needless to say, a lot of work has been put into this polymoog and it is about 99% functional. Only issue is that the VCF filter attack and decay are not working correctly and one key needs a bushing (currently taped to make it level, as you can see in the picture. the key DOES work). It works, it just doesn’t sit right and level with the other keys. I will also throw in some spare parts including chips and polycom cards.” Link

“Missing one knob (as seen in picture). This Mini Moog has not been serviced (or used) in a very long time, but otherwise functions correctly. A very funky sounding retro synth freshly dusted off from out of the cupboard and ready to go to the highest bidder!” Link

“70′s Moog 1120 pedal, untested, sold as is.” Link

“This is an auction for a Memorymoog Plus vintage analog synthesizer in excellent condition both cosmetically and functionally. This is a solid built synthesizer with one of the most durable and beautiful boutique looking exteriors. This synth was designed and manufactured in the USA. If you are checking this auction out, you most likely know what the capabilities are of this synth are and how much potential it holds even in a modern recording setup. This synth has XLR output and built in midi functionality (i.e. Memorymoog PLUS) for superior recording capabilities. In fact the functionality of this analog polysynth is almost second to none as far as 80s polysynths went. The features this synth has far exceed those of say a Roland Jupiter 8, having a built in sequencer with full clock control, interactive LED display, intuitive functionality, and a slew of extra modifiable parameters. Also, as you can see, the frequency knobs for two of the oscillators have fine tunable potentiometers, which are a feature that you do not see very often and reinforces the point that this was Moog’s last synth creation from the original company, and that they pulled off all the stops to develop this machine. This is one legendary synthesizer and can create some of the most miraculous analog sounds from gurgling basses to enchanting strings. There are even a couple of well programmed choir patches that will blow you away. This synth works equally well as a polysynth as a lead monosynth and has the legendary Moog sounds that make it cut through and liven up any boring modern mix.” Link

“Der Klang des Minimoog ist Legende – kein Synthesizer kommt auch nur annähernd an den typischen Sound, für meine Ohren auch nicht der neue Minimoog Voyager. Dafür ist die Kombination der extrem warm und fett klingenden Oszillatoren, des 24 dB-Moog-Filters und der einzigartig schnellen Hüllkurven verantwortlich.

Beim hier angebotenen Exemplar handelt es sich um ein stimmstabiles Modell (SN: 11 xxx). Das Instrument ist somit technisch sehr gut in Schuss: Alle Tasten funktionieren ohne Jaulen, die Potis und Schalter arbeiten sauber und kratzen nicht. Am Holz sind ein paar kleine Gebrauchsspuren, aber nichts Schlimmes (siehe Fotos). Eine Kopie der original Bedienungsanleitung ist dabei. Das Instrument ist midifiziert und wurde darüber hinaus mit Buchsen für CV/Gate-in und -out sowie einem XLR-Output versehen. Das Power-Lämpchen sieht nicht original aus.

Noch das Übliche: Da es sich hier um einen Privatverkauf handelt, wird der Artikel unter Ausschluss jeglicher Sachmangelhaftung verkauft. Mit seinem Gebot erkennt der Bieter diese Regelung an. ” Link

“Studio clearout brings this keyboard to ebay. All appears to be in order.

“Semi-rare dual oscillator rack-mount from Moog Music vintage 1970s. Works great, in EXC cosmetic condition with light rack rash and scratches top bottom sides from having been inserted into and removed from racks.” Link

“Although I’m neither a technician nor a muscian, this appears to be properly and fully working. As pictured, the case was ‘modified’ to be secured to a bank of keyboards, otherwise there appears to be no damage to the case. It powers up and the ‘on’ light illuminates. Although I do not know what each preset ‘should’ sound like or what effect each switch represents, every slide bar and every tab switch does ‘something’ predictable and unique. Every key responds when depressed. It is a ‘safe’ assumption that this is a working unit. But without a point of reference, I do not know if it is working correctly. Like old timepieces, I cannot guarantee future preformance, selling as is as stated. ” Link

“Up for bid a Moog Taurus II serial number 1710 on both pedal board and control unit. Comes with case pictured. New faders and recently tuned. New power supply and 5 pin connecting cable. Sounds great. All functions working. Also included is stand pole (not pictured). ” Link

“Well here’s a classic and fun little synth. It’s basically the same thing as a moog rogue, but without the keyboard.

This synth has a great moog sound and a beautiful filter, with the relatively rare (for a vintage moog) ability to sync the VCOs. It’s very easy to use, and very hard to make sound bad as long as you keep the oscillators in some kind of musical interval. It also has an input for audio to the filter!

As you can see from the photos this synth is in generally very nice condition, though there are a few marks on the wooden ends. It’s also in perfect working condition, and I cleaned out the foam from the inside of the front panel when I got it, so no worries about the foam in this one turning into goo and messing up all the sliders.

I’ve made up two special cables for the gate(positive) and CV(linear) ins, and these will be supplied with the synth. Then you can plug in any CV/gate source you have to drive it. If necessary, I can also sell a kenton pro solo MKII already setup to run with this synth. (though I’ll need to ask $200 for this)

note: this auction does not include the original foot pedals.” Link

“This listing is for a Moog Realistic MG-1 analog synthesizer. The unit is 100% functional and other than a very small “ding” on top, it is literally flawless cosmeticaly. While the cut off frequency slider is quit functional, it may need some cleaning or oil in the channel because it doesn’t slide as easily as the other controls. This is an awesome unit and an absolute blast to operate. ” Link

“This keyboard is being sold as-is. We have limited knowledge on these and while it produces sound, we have no way to know how well it is working. It may need a tune up or tuning as it has sat for a long time. Also see the pics for details on physical condition. While nice, it is not perfect. One key has a small chip under it that does not affect the sound.” Link

“Moog Rogue vintage analog synthesizer, great condition and fully-functioning. Get the classic Moog filter sound with this two-oscillator monophonic synth from 1981 – you can even patch an external audio source through the Rogue to use its filter as an outboard processor. Sounds fat and wonderful! Includes AC power adapter.” Link

“Verkaufe hier einen Klassiker unter den analogen Synthesizern, den Moog Prodigy. Oft als Minimoog für den schmalen Geldbeutel bezeichnet, hat er doch seine Eigenheiten. Daher würde ich meinen zweiten Prodigy auch nicht hergeben, obwohl ich noch einen Minimoog habe. Besonders für den Liveeinsatz bevorzuge ich den Prodigy, da er handlicher und übersichtlicher im Schummerlicht der Bühne ist. Und natürlich weil das Moog Logo hinten einfach viel größer ist ;o)

der zum Verkauf stehende Prodigy ist voll funktionsfähig und verfügt auch über die begehrten Anschlüsse für externe Steuerung über CV/Gate. Für das S-Trigger Signal wurde der DIN-Anschluss gegen einen Klinkenbuchse getauscht. Mit einem Converter (Doepfer o.ä.) lässt sich das Teil problemlos in jede Midiumgebung einfügen. Optisch sieht man dem Teil die Jahre an, die Holzseitenteile haben die eine und andere Schramme, das ist eben vintage.

Verkaufe das Teil von Privat, daher gebe ich keine Garantie bzw. Gewährleistung und schließe auch Rücknahme aus. Bitte nur bieten, wenn man damit einverstanden ist.

Und noch etwas: Fragen bitte VOR Ablauf der Auktion stellen. Ich weiss, das sollte selbstverständlich sein, aber die Realität sieht manchmal anders aus. ” Link

“Zu verkaufen ist ein technisch und optisch gut erhaltener Minimoog mit einer frühen Seriennummer der Nummer 1602. Kenner wissen, dass die Minimoogs unterschiedlich klingen. Insbesondere den frühen Minimoogs sagt man einen kräftigeren und wärmeren Sound bedingt durch die ältere Version des Oszillatorboards nach.

Der hier angeboten Minimoog ist technisch wie optisch sehr gut erhalten. Sie können diesen vorab gerne in meinem Studio in Bochum testen.” Link

”
Vintage Moog Synthesizer from the late 70′s/early 80′s.
Complete with power supply and original manual.
In good working order” Link

“I have owned these pedals from new, since 1985.

They spent the first 12 months of their life doing a few gigs with me (hence the reason they come supplied with a flight case) but they have spent the rest of their life in my home studio (connected to a Moog “The Source”).

I am selling them because I have a requirement to “go MIDI” and regretably, I do not have the space to keep them.

CONDITION

They are in perfect working order – I was using them up until last week!

Cosmetically they are in extremely good condition, especially when considering their age.

Cosmetic damage (visible in the photos):-
1). The rear of both wooden end caps have been chipped away and there is some slight damage to the tops of the caps too
2). There used to be two plastic cable holders (one each side) – you can see the screw holes where they used to be
3). A few marks on the bottom half of the rear panel

INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION

1 x Moog Taurus II Controller
1 x original Moog Music power supply (rated 220v AC input but obviously works fine in the UK) – fitted with a UK 3-pin plug
1 x hard flight case
1 x S-Trig cable (not in the best of condition any longer)
1 x CV cable (not in the best of condition either)

DESCRIPTION

This auction is for one set of Moog Taurus II foot pedal controllers – there is NO synthesizer included!

For the uninitiated, they follow the 1 volt per octave scale when connected to the Control Voltage Input and Gate Input of an analog synthesizer.

The pedals use 2 x ¼” jack cables to connect the pedal controller to the synthesizer – this then allows you to play the synthesizer with your feet.

Moog Taurus II pedals were originally designed to work with the Taurus II synthesizer but as mentioned earlier, this sale is for the pedal controller only – there are no MIDI or internal sounds in these pedals!” Link

“Here for sale a Polymoog synthesiser in reasonable working order and the pedal controller that came with it. This has sat on our shelf for over a decade and is suffering from lack of use. It really needs a good dusting off and swishing out. That said it does all seem to work, but I’m sure it would sound even better with a service. The sounds are massive. ” Link

“This is the Moog MG-1 Analog Synthesizer, it is basically the Moog Rogue just under a different name. This one has been completely refurbished, it has new sliders and switches on it. It has just been serviced and everything is fully functional on it. All outputs work fine and it sounds great. 3 of the sliders on the left do not have the little cap that goes on them, this doesnt matter for functionality as you can still move them easily. You can get some awesome sounds out of it.” Link

“Vintage analog Moog synth, really has three voices (strings, organ, brass) with chorus, modulation, filter, envelope, blend and pitch wheel controls. Mono or stereo outs. These are very strong voices though and are among the best-sounding I’ve ever heard; run it through external reverb or chorus and create amazing lush results. Everything works; in VG cosmetic condition as depicted with some scratching to wood side panels and bottom.” Link

“I have for sale a vintage Moog Opus 3 synthesizer that is in pretty good condition for it’s age. It plays very nicely. There are a couple of sticky sliders and a knob missing on the attack slider, but they still function fine. There’s a little wear on the wooden side panels, but nothing too bad. All in all, it’s a pretty nifty synth with some really awesome vintage sounds. It comes with a power cord included.” Link

“Le Moog Prodigy ici en vente est en bon état cosmétique, avec juste deux, trois petites brûlures de cigarettes sur les touches. Le bois a été restauré il est donc en très bon état.

“I offer my favourite synthesizer, a Moog Synthesizer “The Roegue”, because of ending of my musical activities. It comes from the forge from “Mr. Synthesizer” Bob Moog, Moog Music Inc. Moog-Synthesizers have excited admiration in the beginning sixties with the revolutionary album “Switched-On Bach”, what conveyed an absolute new sound-experience. The Great Johann Sebastian Bach would have had at it his pleasure, definitely.

The Rogue is very compact. The device comes with a low weight and small dimension. That’s a great benefit during construction on stage or on transport. Although construction of The Rogue is simple deliberate, the sound really is a Moog-Sound. Strong points of this synthie are powerful basses and ability for experimental sounds, on the basis of very fast envelope-curve and Sample&Hold.

The simple and clear panel allows very reliable the handling of the synthie during bad lighting conditions. Therefore The Rogue is qualified for hard live action on stage.

The device has little traces of usage, apart from that it is in an excellent condition and fully functioning. Unfortunately the power adaptor is missing.” Link

“This is a truly amazing instrument in better than average cosmetic and working condition. UK voltage. Like many of the Moog Rogues, this unit still has its black foam dust shield inside the casing. I can’t tell the condition of the foam and I will not open the casing. However all controls work very well. High res pictures and MP3 sound samples are available. Make sure you have requested these and reviewed them before making an offer or buying. I have personally tested this item and can certify that sound- and control-wise there are no issues that I can detect. I have not examined the inside of the item and have no knowledge of prior service history. However, all pots and sliders work properly when operated. ” Link

“Hello ebay people.

The time has come. My lovely MG-1 is up for sale. This is a beauty. I have had it for about 8 years. Used on recordings and a few gigs with my band Stuntdog.

Although it has the Realistic (Tandy/Radio Shack) name on it, this is a genuine Moog synth produced in the late 70’s & early 80’s by Moog Music for the Tandy corp to sell in stores as a ‘home synth’. It sits alongside the Moog Rogue and the Prodigy and has little features that make it an exceptional synth in its own right. The only thing missing in the design is a tone wheel/expression wheel/pitch bend, but after a short time you get used to using filter and rate sliders to much the same effect.

It has killer bass and lead sounds and a unique polyphonic organ tone for playing chords.

It is in very good condition. 2 slider caps have been replaced with similar ones but apart from that it is entirely original and in full working order.

The left and right phono outs on the back are a bit ‘dry’ and intermittent and would probably need looking at if you wanted to use them as the main output, but they do both work. I mostly use the quarter inch headphone socket on the front as the line out which works a treat.

I also have a copy of the original manual which I have bound up all posh!!” Link

“You are bidding on a vintage Model D Moog Minimoog synthesizer, serial number 11,770. I am the second owner and acquired this synth in 2004-2005. It has a rare optional accessory, the left hand pitch ribbon controller, and it works very well. The potentiometers sound great, and the emphasis pot in the filter section has been recently replaced – this is an exceptionally hard to find part. The pilot light and two of the fuse holders were also recently replaced. Most importantly, most of the old contact springs have been replaced, new bushings were installed, and the bus bars have been polished. The action is really sweet. It has the later more stable oscillator board with an additional category of trimpots for the oscillator callibration. The oscillators were tuned recently according to the procedure in the Minimoog manual.

The auction includes a flight case. The flight case needs refoaming as the existing foam is shedding. I will thoroughly wrap the minimoog in heavy bubble wrap to protect it from the shedding foam in the flight case, and use additional foam if necessary. Also the original manual is included and it is in poor condition though it is still readable – though you can find a pdf online. Also there is an additional few pages included about installing/callibrating the left hand controller – it’s a letter printed with Moog letterhead in 1979.

The previous/original owner installed an additional toggle switch that is visible on the left hand controller. It is wired to the Trigger/Gate input. This modification simply holds the gate open effectively holding the last note played indefinitely. I have found it useful when I want to process external audio through the VCF: I mix the oscillators out, and I can process the external audio without having to press a key to trigger the audio signal.

I am also including an S-Trig to 1/4″ cable that will be useful for you if you plan on connecting to midi-cv converters or other modules generating a gate trigger. Plus I am throwing in a fitted leather dust cover.

Disclosures:
The cosmetic condition of the wodden case is good, but there are some scratches as illustrated in the photographs. There are also some scratches on the left hand controller surface as illustrated in the photographs.

There is one somewhat esoteric glitch that is present in this synth. The 2nd key, low F#, has a bit of pitch bending/modulation that is present if the Decay switch is engaged – if you press/hold the key down and then release, the pitch of the aftertouch decay/release is slightly sharp from the press down note. Most of the key contact springs were replaced, but the low F# key spring appears somewhat deformed, and this may be the cause of the problem. It does not exhibit this problem when controlled externally, and it isn’t much of an issue for practical use.

I have posted several videos on YouTube to demonstrate this Mini in action. I’m a hack on the keys, so I applaud your patience if you make it through all of them. It’s important to note that I’ve transposed the actual pitch by a 5th – I kept the Midi-to-cv-trigger device hooked up during all the demos (even though #2 is the only one where I control via a midi device). The reason it’s transposed is because when you control via an external midi device it’s typical to sync the mini to the lowest note on the midi device. In my case the lowest note on the drum machine’s synth output was C – so if I’m hitting a low F on the mini keys it’s probably transposed to C. No worries though, I calibrated the oscillators and it scales well and plays in tune.” Link

“This Cordovox organ has been tested here at Atomic Music and it functions without issue. As it is pre-owned/used, expect that there are some cosmetic blemishes on its exterior.

“You are bidding on a used vintage Synthesizer. This is in very good condition considering it’s age. All of the keys function and all of the different effects seem to work as well. We have not used it to record or tested it any further. This does not appear to have been modified but we have taken pictures of the inside for you to decide. This was purchased in a liquidation sale so I really don’t have a history on it prior to our purchase. Some of the screws in front have some rust but the interior components looks great.

This does have the external controls both in and out so I am told this is a slightly later model. I am not sure of the exact age or history of this unit as I explained above. ” Link

Es wurde vom damaligen Moog-Vertrieb Funk aus USA geordert, schrieb dann Geschichte als Soundlieferant für Edgar Wallace Filme, die bekannte Stahlnetz Serie, wurde im deutschen Fernsehen bei Peter Frankenfeld dem deutschen Publikum vorgestellt (der originale Schalter, auf den Peter Frankenfeld damals drückte, um das die Vorführung in Gang zu setzen, ist mit dabei), war auf der deutschen Messe, wo ihn die Stones begutachteten, sowie die Beatles, die daraufhin ein ähnliches System orderten, das wohl bei den Aufnahmen für Sgt Pepper zum Einsatz kam.
Dieses System stammt aus einer Studioauflösung, befindet sich in sehr gutem Zustand, eine Kiste Kabel und einiges an Unterlagen kann auf Wunsch mitgegeben werden.” Link

“The Moog Rogue is a monophonic analog synthesizer produced by the original Moog Music in the early 1980s. The Rogue features a 32-note keyboard and two VCOs. VCO number 2 is tunable between a half-step below to an octave above VCO number 1. This allows the Rogue to play atonal sounds like the Moog Prodigy.

I have owned this keyboard for 15 years. It has been in storage for the last 5 years and before that was used in a studio. The mains power supply is not the original (as can be seen in pic) but has worked fine for the whole time i’ve owned it. There is no manual with it.
As far as i can tell everything works fine. When picked up and moved sometimes something can be heard rattling around inside like a loose screw, but as it’s been like this for 15 years and it works fine, i’ve decided not to investigate any further.
The 1st 4 white keys from left to right have their note names written on them in marker pen (see pic).
A great little keyboard that i’ll be sad to let go, but needs must.” Link
