ABOUT well, this is the frist commercial Synthesizer, Bob Moog startet showing it on the AES in 1964 and had some visionary musicians as clients till 1969 when switched on back was released, after that Moog went over to become a real company. this is what a synthesizer is: synthesis = put together. means putting together modules by patch cords, thats the idea.. more on the modular , click the Link..
ABOUT Der Modular wurde eigentlich nur 1964 auf der AES vorgestellt, erst etwas später gab es die Systeme, die man heute kennt (I, II, III, IIIc, 15, 35, 55). Bis 1966 gab es nur wenige Kunden, erst ab ca.1969 begann durch Switched on Bach grosses Interesse an Synthesizern und die eigentlich Firma Moog startete dann richtig durch. Natürlich ist die Konfiguraiton der Module frei. Es war das,was ein Synthesizer wirklich ist: Synthese = Zusammensetzen. Einzelne Module erfüllen spezielle Aufgaben und sind durch Verschaltung per Kabel ein Verbund musikalischer Möglichkeiten. mehr siehe Link..
ABOUT
DETAILS there have been quite a lot of moog modulars over time:
* the big series 35 and 55,in wooden case like the one shown below.
* the vinyl cabinet (1 to 3 cabinets) but normally only one: systems 10,12,15
* synthesizer I,II,III,Ic,2c,2p,3c,3p
top luxury of course is the moog system 55.
most important thing:
the moogs use 1V/Oct. CV and SWITCHED TRIGGER. so it is compatible to roland and arp, but you need a small modification to the gate/trigger: the moogs used one kind of plugs for ENV triggering and VCO waveform restart:
europeans like me may only have seen this slightly different for loudspeakers: the jones cinch plug (something that the dinosaurs in the us may have used for phone stuff (!?!?). rare!

DETAILS
SOUND well everything is possible.. the moog systems sounds are very high quality: wide, fat, big (if you want it to)..
SOUND ALLES ist möglich! theoretisch natürlich. Die Moog Systeme klingen ausserordentlich gut. breit, fett, wenn man es möchte..
