Memorymoog Image

This was Moog's last official synth, made back in 1982, and it was never really completed so upgraded or modified models are commonly found these days. There were two versions of this synth: the Memorymoog and the Memorymoog+. The latter is the only one capable of taking a MIDI retrofit, and it also has more stable oscillator control. The version can be checked in the AUTOTUNE feature.

The Memorymoog is like having six Minimoogs stacked in one! Features include VCO syncing, sample and hold, and separate filters for each voice! It also has a unison mode for a fat 18 oscillator monophonic bass and lead. And as its name would suggest it has memory storage, 100 patches! It should also be noted that these, while they appear relatively rugged, are prone to problems, notably missing or 'stuck' voices. It is used by 808 State, The Orb, the Crystal Method, Air, Jean-Michel Jarre, Freddy Fresh, Jan Hammer, Bon Jovi, INXS, Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Moog Cookbook, Rick Wakeman, Labradford, George Duke and James "Jimmy Jam" Harris III.
