Synopsis:

Dual oscillator Micromoog with key pressure (aftertouch). Architecture Class: Conventional (subtractive).

Ebay Description:

The Moog Multimoog is a 44 key (aftertouch sensitive) monophonic synthesizer, featuring a dual oscillators (variable saw/pulse waveforms) with sub and pink noise source, a resonant low pass analog filter, dedicated (ADR, shared D/R) filter and amplifier envelopes, an LFO (bend/random/square/triangle waveforms), glide, filter input, ribbon controller, and CV/gate IO.
