# Moog MG-1
“The MG-1 is one of the most under-rated analog synths. I have owned several of these over the past 10 years and they never let me down. It a lot of ways the MG-1 outshines its Moog siblings. It has a polyphonic section, which passes through the characteristic Moog filter, it has a ring modulator that can be mixed in with its two sync-able oscillators, and it has a flexible modulation section. Plus it is really small and lightweight, making perfect for gigs or conserving space in the studio.
LZX Industries performed some simple modifications on this MG1 to make it more useful. The RCA jacks on the back have been replaced with high-quality 1/4″ jacks. The audio input is routed through the filter now and there is a filter CV input. This MG-1 can be used as a standalone filter or interfaced with a modular synthesizer and other gear, like Moogerfooger pedals. A V-trig input has been added, making it easier to sequence the synth or play it from other synths that use the v/oct and v-trig standard. The BEST mod on this MG-1 is an additional switch that disengages the LFO on Oscillator One. This allows you to take better advantage of the sync and “bell tone” features by modulating one oscillator and not the other–a sound you cannot get from a regular MG-1! ” Link
