TheMoog Liberationwas one of the first commercially produced "keytar"synthesizers, released in 1980 byMoog Music. The instrument is comparable to theRealistic Concertmate MG-1and theMoog Rogue, but it is most closely related to theMoog Prodigy; however, as a keytar, the Liberation was designed to be played in the same posture as one would play aguitar.
