# Moog Source
“Very clean MOOG SOURCE analog synthesizer. Serial #: 236x. Made in Buffalo, NY, USA.
This Source is in great condition and functions 100%. Membrane switches are very positive and reliable. Colors on the membrane and graphics are unfaded and crisp. The keys are even with no cracks or scratches. Brushed aluminum surfaces have some light scratches…mostly it’s the lacquer coating on the aluminum that scratches off easily leaving light discolorations here and there. The wooden side panels and wooden keybed trim are in beautiful shape.
I love the Source as a performance instrument…it’s like having a Minimoog with patch memory but is lighter and generally more stable. This is especially true if you only need to tweak one or two parameters (24db Moog filter!) in real time, although you quickly learn to program and tweak on the fly with the endless rotary knob which is easy/fast to use with practice. It is especially wonderful (and famous) as a bass synth but it can provide delicate, musical timbres for pads/leads as well as warm raw phatness. A nice use of the patch memory involves saving subtle evolving changes or pitch (key) changes that can be strung together live to form song sections. ” Link
