moogsource “This is my Moog Source, which I bought new in 1984 at Goodman Music in North Hollywood. I used it with a Moog Taurus II controller bass pedalboard (awesome set-up), so you could play key bass on the Source or on the bass pedals with your feet which I am an expert at ☺ (B-3 player). This cosmetically is in good condition for it’s age, with a nice straight keyboard but the unit overall is not mint. There’s some oxidation & scratches on aluminum parts and the wood is o.k. to good with no chips, although there are scratches on the wood but nothing major. The membrane (or switch edit panel) is in very good condition because I only programmed the 16 bass sounds and left it, with only minor modification now & then.

This works great but there’s an idiosyncrasy that I want to mention, but they can be quite common if you’re a vintage Moog user. When you first turn it on, before it’s warmed up, it sometimes it goes into a strange edit mode(occasionally it doesn’t do it at all). If you wait 5 or 10 minutes while it warms up and turn it off, then turn it on again, it’s ready to play with all operation as normal. it’s done that for about 15 years. Anyway it will take 5 or 10 minutes for the tuning to stabilize, which is common with all vintage Moogs and other old synths as well. Of course there is a tuning knob on the back of unit to tune it to your other instruments or A440 concert pitch. I imagine all the other functions work on this such as the sequencer, sample and hold, etc but I never used it in that capacity, mainly for bass sounds which are the most awesome fat bass sounds on the planet. This does come with 16 of my programmed bass sounds so enjoy!

This comes with original owner’s manual and a full set of schematics and technical service information (very important). Also comes with power cord & nice Warwick Rockbag (soft case –see photo), which has some padding and can get you by if you’re careful. I’m just throwing it in because it seems to fit OK. I’ve always moved it in a anvil case which I got rid of years ago. I will miss this dearly, but I have a rack mount Novation Super Bass Station to power the Taurus pedals.

This will be double boxed and well padded for shipping, but please keep in mind that shipping vintage electronics has its risks in extreme cold temperatures, like the snow they’ve been having across the country. If you’re local in California, pick-up is available.” Link

moogsource “Nice original Moog Source. Basically this is a programable Mini-Moog. Incredible, REPEATABLE bass sounds.I had a checkup done a few years back and replaced a few circuits that were questionable including a new Incremental control. I opened up the unit today and reseated all of the IC’s and it tunes great now! Everything seems to be in order. There is a faint high pitched noise when plugged in to a guitar amp but that’s a much higher gain than a line input. I played it all morning and all the keys work great and the touch panel works properly.Super flat keybed! Hate to sell this but I’m just not using it anymore…” Link

moogsourceuk “I have found that when I state clearly in my descriptions that items are scratched and battered, oddly they reach really good prices. I’m guessing this is because I demonstrate honesty by doing this. I can’t do that with this auction, because there are hardly any scratches on this pristine and beautiful Moog Source. The woodwork is brilliant, the metal facia is wonderful and the keyboard looks great. The membrane is all working 100% and there are no poor contacts so I’ve done my best, I’ve tried to describe this as honestly as I can.

The Moog Source hardly ever comes up on ebay so this is a RARE opportunity to buy one. Make the most of it because I only really see 2 or 3 of these in a year if you are lucky.

Everything functions perfectly and the tuning is good. Some of the bouncy bass sounds you can generate with this synth are fabulous. I sat some months back playing the bass line to the 80s hit ‘A.E.A.E.I.O.U’ by Freeze and just laughed because it was so convincing. It kind of shows how sad I am that I was able to entertain myself by sitting with a Moog source playing this riff for ages and laughing at how good it was but it really was good.

The oscillators can be detuned to create rich thick textures and of course this synth is pretty famous not only for its fat bouncy bass sounds but also its epic lead synth sounds.

The value control, a spinning wheel, works nicely and spins smoothly and the increment changes are accurate when spinning the wheel.

This is the version with 16 memories and does not have a midi kit built in though it is easily possible to have this fitted with a midi kit for little more than £135.” Link

moog_source “The Moog source is a really great synth with a major problem: The membrane panel often malfunctions and makes it unusable,It’s my experience that attempted repairs only last for a short time if at all – just long enough to sell it on ebay perhaps!.Replacements are almost impossible to find.It took me 2 years to find one !

This source has a brand new membrane panel which works perfectly and should continue to do so for the lifetime of the synth. All the other blue bits are new too!

This source is fully serviced and calibrated. It is in good condition for its age, it is not mint so if you prefer to put your synths in glass cases this may not be for you , if however you want to play -read on.,There are some marks to the lacquering on the metal as you can see in the photos. Every Moog source I have seen has this. The metal can be easily refinished .

Everything works perfectly and it really does sound great by any standards. its the most Moog-like Moog after the MiniMoog but with the big big plus of memories.Battery is fine. Like many analogue synths particularly Moogs it takes around 5 minutes warm up time for the tuning to stabilise from cold.After that its fine and stable
I find the membrane panel surprisingly good to use for real time control.Comes with photocopy of owners manual.” Link

The Source is a combination Minimoog and Taurus Pedals along with programmable patch storage capabilities. Unlike today’s modern Moogs (Little Phatty and Voyager) it has the authentic Minimoog sound as well as the paint peeling, bone rattling bass of the Taurus Pedal. Also packed into this monster is a sequencer and arpeggiator which adds a whole new dimension to your performances.

This particular machine has seen minimal use and has been stored in a climate controlled, non-smoking studio. She has been waiting for nearly 30 years for someone to explore and electrify her analog circuitry. Now is your chance!” Link

source “Moog (the) Source Mono analog synth. Serial Number 3905. I am the original owner.
Comes with power cord and Technical Service Manual, which has schematics and calibration info. No owners manual.
This is an excellent example of this classic synth.

Works perfectly, Exc condition, has new membrane switches from ebay member chipforbrains (Technology Transplant), who specializes in reproducing parts for old synths.

They made reproduction Source membrane switch pads for a while, but I have not recently seen them offered. This switchpad is an exact replacement and is sturdier than the original. It works perfectly. (the original pad had several bad membrane switches, which is a common problem with the original switch pads.) There is no advantage to buying a Source with the original pads.

Everything is fully functional, including the sequencers

This unit has been recently cleaned and calibrated. No tuning issues.

Some minor cosmetic issues, which can be seen on pictures. Nothing drastic. Also note additional screw holes on bottom, which are there because of having been moved from original position due to mounting screws being directly fastened to wood sides. Cosmetic imperfections do not affect performance. Bottom panel is firmly affixed to side panels.” Link

source “Here’s your chance to get that big, fat, classic Moog in your collection. This is The Source from Moog, probably circa the early 1980’s (serial number: 2418).

Please note that I am selling this unit AS IS. I will state to the best of my abilities what works and what does not work here so that you know what you’re getting into.

What works:
–all keys.
–pitch wheel
–mod wheel
–octave buttons
–incremental control wheel
–all LED displays

What doesn’t work:
–the memory system (may be bad battery)
–the volume knob
–some of the oscillator controls

When powered up, all the keys work and I can change the filters, KB trigger, envelopes, etc. But, I’m getting a continuous tone output not related to pressing a key and the oscillator output/mix controls don’t seem to be working any more. Volume control does not work at all.

I started to investigate how to repair before selling, but I don’t have the time to mess with it. So, please be aware that this unit will need some attention to get it back to perfect working order.

This is a monophonic synthesizer that has fat low ends and shrilling leads. Unfortunately for myself, I am not much of a keyboard player and am parting with this unit due to the fact that I’m not very good at this particular instrument. Since I am not a keyboard player, this unit has been used a very minimal amount of times. I am selling this unit with the intention of buying another guitar amplifier more suited for my current music project. I will try to field questions as best as I know, but unfortunately my knowledge on these units at times are limited. What I can tell you is that each individual touch pad and roller works like it just came from the factory. Never tested the cassette settings, but I would bet it works flawlessly. This unit comes with a soft travel case unit to house the instrument. Does not have a hardshell travel case.” Link s2

source1 “Die Moog Source ist ein monophon microprocessor-gesteuerter analoger Synthesizer. Er wurde von 1981 bis 1985 von Moog Music hergestellt. Der Source war Moog’s erster Synthesizer mit patch memory. Es war auch der erste und einzige Moog mit einer flat-panel Folientastatur.

Zusätzlich zum Speicher, der zu den Voreinstellungen der 16 Pre-sets fähig ist, kennzeichnet der Source eine Tastatur mit 37 Tasten, zwei VCOs, die zwischen drei Wellenformen und drei Oktaven vorgewählt werden können.

Programmierte Voreinstellungen können ueber einer Kassettenschnittstelle gespeichert werden, um den Preset Speicher für zusätzliche neue Patches freizugeben. Die Bedienungsanleitung dokumentiert wie jedes einzelne der 16 Pre-sets programmiert wird. Ist kinderleicht!

Beim 24dB/octave VCF koennen Parameter für’s tracking, die Grenzfrequenz, die Resonanz und Envelope eingestellt werden. Es gibt zwei ADSR, die einzelnen oder im multi Triggermodi eingestellt werden können, einer für den VCF und einer für den VCA. Den Source kennzeichnet auch eine rudimentären Sequenzer.

Das Gerät ist vollfunktionsfähig mit den üblichen Gebrauchsspuren (siehe Fotos)!

Hab alle Funktionen zusammen mit der Anleitung testen koennen. Das einzige was mir aufgefallen ist, die Tastatur klingt verstimmt. (Kann an einer Einstellung liegen)

Im Lieferumfang entahlten sind:

1 x Moog The Source

1 x Klinkenkabel

1 x Netzkabel

natuerlich die Bedienungsanleitung in English (leicht zu verstehen)

und die Schaltpläne

The 16 presets right above the keys work so perfectly and musically its amazing especially combining these with the octave buttons it’s great for performance.

“ou are bidding on a Vintage Moog Source Analog Synthesizer Synth NEEDS WORK. This neat vintage synth by Moog is The Source, but it looks like it will need some work before it will work correctly. First off, the screws are out and missing from the bottom panel, so you’ll have to be careful handling the unit, but all the internals look to be in there, with all the IC’s still in place, the keyboard here and all the interior PC boards and the components there. When I power up the unit, it lights, with the light on the modulator blinking and the display ready u7. When I hook up the synth to an amp and press the keys, I do hear a very low sort of thump coming out of the amp when I press each key, so this sucker can’t be too far from functional. When examining the circuit boards, I see one area with some whiteish “stuff” on it, so there may have been something spilled in this area or it may just be some kind of oxidation (see photos below). Since the synth will need some work, I’m selling it “as is” with a crazy low reserve. ” Link

“Hi, you’re looking at an ultra rare NOS Moog Source Din-Sync kit officially known as the ’source drum interface update’ Number 833. Date: May 1983.

Anyone who has owned a standard Source without this kit will know that the built in Arpeggiator and Sequencers are pretty much useless because you cannot sync them to anything externally. Well Moog recognised this and changed the design of the very last Source synths made. They also released a kit to retrofit synths without these features. This is one of those original kits.

Once this kit is fitted you will be able to sync any device that uses Din-Sync to the Arpeggiator/Sequencer like a Roland TR-808,909,606 etc. It also updates the system software, fixing bugs and other issues.

It includes new 3.2 Eprom, add on circuit board, all jacks, case graphics, components(inc new relay), wiring loom, original full instructions and schematics and Moog 3.2 factory program tape(new sounds).

I have been through the kit and it appears that everything is there apart from some inexpensive off the shelf ceramic capacitors. So you will need to get a couple of those. See pictures for exactly what you will receive.

Note: Whilst this kit is NOS and has never been fitted, I cannot supply any guarantees as I have no control over installation your end.” Link

“WOW I hear you cry. A Moog Source on ebay. Goodness me. This is astonishing. There hasn’t been a Moog Source on ebay UK for over 6 months as far as I can remember so this is what you’ve been waiting for I hope!

And here it is, in all its finest glory. The beautiful, warm fat bouncy sounding Moog Source with wonderful wooden ends which are mint. The membrane is in utterly fantastic condition, there are a few minor scuffs on the metal work on the front panel.

This synth sounds great, I love the fat bouncy bass sounds that it produces. I used to sit for ages playing the bass line to ‘A.E.A.E.I.O.U by Freeze’ (1983), sad or what!!! but it just made me really happy to hear that bass sound emulated so perfectly by the source.

The membrane looks funky even by today’s standards and the ease of programming is superb. The spinning increment control is smooth and has no nasty jolts, it just spins merrily and the values go up or down swimmingly.

Everything works perfectly and this beauty has no faults at all. This has to be one of my favourite synths of all time and the fact that while it has analog control, it is still possible to store sounds in its memories is brilliant. It also has a save and load feature to and from data tape.

The tuning of this example is very good indeed, it rarely drifts and we have had it on test for the last few weeks and it hasn’t drifted which is pretty impressive.

Detuning the oscillators on purpose creates a wonderful richness which cannot be emulated really by any modelling synth of today and the -24db filter is fantastic.

So nothing more to say really other than if you have any questions, I am really happy to try and answer them for you so please send messages through the ebay messaging service.” Link

“I am a a former Moog employee and the original owner of this synth. It was used in a few attempts at bands that never made it out of the basement and has been stored in its road case ever since. It has never been around smokers. Electrically, everthing is working well. You’ll probably want to get it tuned up after shipping, but it’s actually pretty close right now.

Cosmetically its also pretty great considering its age. The biggest mark can be seen on the close up of the top left in the silver area. On the top right you may be able to see some small black marks in the silver and a very tiny chip in the wood near the second screw from the left. Its pretty hard to see in the pitcure (and in person). The touch pad is nearly perfect. There’s one small indentation you can see in the extreme close up of the modulation section. This is just a small indentation. It is not torn and the buttons work fine. It comes with the original owners manual and service manual in excellent condition. Also included is a heavy duty viking road case. This was the original case used by Moog sales to fly the first source around the country to trade shows and dealers. Its a little beat up and shows a little rust but still provides great protection. ” Link

“All right!
A Moog Source synthesizer!

This synth does not work.
It powers up and the display comes alive.
The displays will sometimes read a proper numerical value, and sometimes display nonsense.
Pressing a key does not produce sound.
After a moment of being powered up, the unit will produce some very strange garbled and freaky (even for a Moog) sounds.
The buttons and dial will affect the display settings (and the chaotic noise somewhat) , but the results are more inconsistent nonsense.
We are not sure what the specific nature of these problems are.
The touch panel membrane on these units are know to fail; the problem is most likely related to this and may extend to other aspects of the synth.
This instrument might prove to be useful only for parts.
It is for auction as-is due to these facts.

The synth is in good physical and structural condition.
The wooden side panels are unbroken showing some scuffing.
Keys are level and move well.
Control knobs and wheels move well with no shakiness.
Touch panel membrane is in good condition with no gouges or peeling.
Jacks are in good condition.
All control labeling is legible and the synth does not show and much color fading at all.

So there!
Bring your other one back to life!
Install it in the dashboard of your car for “wow” factor.
Don’t let it just sit there.” Link

“Used Moog Source in great condition. A few tiny spots /scratches from normal aging. Most Importantly, it functions perfectly. You either know about this SYNTH or u DONT. Its FAT. Ive used this on several records to introduce Synth BASS roundness and girth that you cant get anywhere else. The 24db filter is the secret. Sold AS IS since its almost 30 years old, but its working perfectly.” Link
