Multimoog

1978–1981

The Multimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music from 1978 to 1981. Derived from the earlier Micromoog (internally, it consists of a stock Micromoog circuit board with the extra circuitry on a second board), the Multimoog was intended to be a less expensive alternative to the Minimoog. It nevertheless had some advanced features which the Minimoog did not—most notably, it was one of the earliest synthesizers to feature aftertouch capability.

Overview

The Moog Multimoog, released in 1978, was a monophonic synthesizer featuring dual oscillators, a multimode filter, and extensive modulation capabilities. This versatile instrument offered more complex synthesis options than the Minimoog, including sample-and-hold and extensive modulation routing.
