“Moog Source Programmable Analog Synthesizer. This is in very good condition (see the pics). It comes with a vinyl covered wooden case for transporting. The case has two internal storage bins – one will hold the power cord. There is also the original user manual, a second copy, and a block diagram showing signal, control, and trigger/gating flows throughout the instrument. All of the functions work. It has the classic Moog analog sound with two voltage controlled oscillators, the 24dB/octave filter, a low frequency oscillator for modulation, a modulation and pitch wheel, a Voltage Controlled Amplifier and two envelope generators – one for the filter and one for the amplifier. It was Moog’s early introduction into digitally programmable functionality. You can store presents and sequences. The switches are mostly membrane. There are a couple of physical switches and a data entry knob in addition to the two left hand wheels.”

“Up for sale, a 1980’s Moog Source vintage analog synthesizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Complete with a brand new secondary membrane control panel, LeCover dust cover, additional padded cover, and original manual, this vintage synth is a well-kept example of Moog’s first programmable model. With additional MIDI In and Thru upgrades, the flexibility of this keyboard is greatly increased, and the two classic MiniMoog analog oscillators and 24 dB filter sound incredibly fat and rich.

Moog’s Source was their first to offer patch memory storage, with 16 memory locations to instantly recall your synth patches. A cassette-tape jack was also implemented to transfer your patches to and from an external tape and free up the on-board memory for additional new patches. Unlike previous Moog models, all parameters are controlled by a single data wheel. Just select your desired patch or parameter on the membrane pad and use the wheel to assign a value from 1-100. Straightforward and easy to use, the Source allows for a variety of distinct Moog sounds to be selected on the fly and additional tweaking can be done in real time too.

Cosmetically, the keyboard shows some light wear and minor nicks on the polished wood panels and a few tiny nicks on the brushed aluminum as well. The key caps are very clean and all of the original membrane buttons work as intended.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
