Moog

“I just noticed that I didn’t put all the white switches back on after cleaning them. They WILL be included with the synth!

There is the Moog Prodigy and then there is THE Moog Prodigy with External Controls. This is the more desirable one that has:

– S-Trig In/Out
– Kybd In/Out
– OSC In
– VCF In
– Sync In

These controls allow you to achieve deep bass notes as well as being able to connect the synth to a sequencer.

I am not the original owner. I purchased this synth for a studio project where we needed those nice thick, dimensional analog tones that cannot be achieved through soft-synths or from the newer digital synths. If you want the real deal, here it is!

Cosmetically I would say it is in good condition for a ~30 year old vintage synth. It is definitely aged, but that is part of the beauty of a vintage analogue synth. If you want mint, this isn’t your synth.

Please Note:
As mentioned, I am not the original owner and so I do not know much about the history of this particular unit (where its been, maintenance, etc.), but what I can tell you is that it works as designed. Every key, every pot, every switch works. It plays in tune. During the recording process we had it connected to an Analogue Solutions Oberkorn3 analogue sequencer, and the Prodigy worked perfectly.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is one of the rarest Moog synthesizers ever produced!

This is the prototype of the Moog Prodigy, called the Moog Prodigy Xpander. This is the ONLY one I’ve ever seen, and I visited the Moog factory so many times, that when the employees saw me performing with my band, they assumed I was an employee too!

This tabletop module was going to compete with the Oberheim SEM, but Moog Music in the late 70’s decided to go with the keyboard version of the Prodigy, and many of them are still in service today.
It works perfectly, sounds incredibly fat, and it’s oscillator sync sounds so much better than other analog synths.

I was a rep/dealer/consultant in the 70’s and 80’s to many golden age synth companies including Moog Music, (Williamvsille, and Buffalo factories,) Polyfusion, Sequential Circuits, Oberheim, Pearce Amps, and was a consultant to Les Paul.

Owning this for synthesists, is analogous to being a guitarist and owning Fender Stratocaster 001.

Most Moog experts weren’t aware of this prototype, but being a rep, and living just 10 miles from the Moog factory, gave me an advantage to obtain rare pieces like this. Tony Marchese was the head engineer on this rare piece.

I met Bob Moog at the age of 19 in 1973, and he became my mentor, helping me in those early days to learn all I could about electronic music.
You’ll need a MIDI to CV convertor to use this.

Obviously, this is for true Moog fans, and collectors.
