The Moog Multimoog |
|
| Introduced in 1978 as an update to the classic MiniMoog, the Multi' is a more flexible beast in some aspects with a few tricks up its sleeve. Moog had discontinued the MiniMoog back in 75 but was re-introduced into their line again in 77. The MultiMoog therefore sat alongside the Mini which it was probably intended to replace! |  |
| Often described as the 'poor mans Minimoog' it was marketed as 'the synthesizer for the performer in you'. Gone was the flip-up control panel and wooden end-cheeks and in was a molded plastic shell, wood-effect formica and a chipboard chassis. What it loses in cosmetic appeal, the Multimoog gains in both sonic flexibility and expressive capabilities. Featuring a 'Force sensitive' keyboard and the famous 'Moog zero inertia ribbon control' the Multi' can produce some very expressive leads. The bottom end power is a little lacking, but there's a fairly simple mod that improves low frequency response. The modulation routings are quite flexible too, with the 'Force' , ribbon and LFO as sources. |

The Multi' must have one of the fullest back panel complements of all time, with almost every conceivable connection being available! |
