ABOUT FROM SELLER:

Purchased many years ago, it's in excellent shape, and sounds fantastic! I have no use and room for it anymore- with the hope that whoever purchases, takes the same amount of excellent care that it's been maintained throughout the years! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

DESCRIPTION:

The Memorymoog is a worthy successor to the Polymoog in that it was a proper polyphonic.  The major difference is that the Polymoog is a top octave divider system while the Memorymoog is a assignable voice system which is the superior design. There are a lot of tricks in the Memorymoog that is not possible in the Polymoog, chief among them voice modulation.  That is why the Memorymoog has a broader palette of sounds over the Polymoog.

Soon after Memorymoog was released, the "plus" version with an additional set of functions appeared:

MIDI interface was, perhaps, the main introduction. The instrument featured MIDI in and out. The synthesizer comprehended MIDI basic commands: note on/off and program change. It wasn’t possible to set the MIDI channel for the synthesizer, that’s why Memorymoog couldn’t interact with other synthesizers.

Sequencer allowed you to record six polyphonic and six monophonic sequences without further editing.

The MIDI/sequencer module was sold separately from the synthesizer, which allowed a user to upgrade the old Memorymoog.

Among the users we should mention Jean-Michel Jarre, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, The Crystal Method.
