How cute! It's a tiny Moog. But don't underestimate it. Sure, it's just a single-oscillator mono-synth, designed as a budget performance Moog. But it's an inexpensive alternative to the Minimoog. In fact, it is often used as just a stand-alone filter processor since it has a filter that is virtually identical to the one found in the Minimoog, and it accepts external sounds for processing through itself (all at a fraction of the price for a Mini)! It also employs a ribbon controller (which was a cool new feature) for pitch bending. Notice that there are still plenty of knobs to give you access to the shape of your sounds! Unfortunately the construction feels kind of cheap.

The Micromoog has been used by Apollo 440, Kraftwerk, Richard Barbieri, Chik Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Edgar, and Add N To (X).

I can't believe you guys didn't list SAGA as a user in the "used by" section of this page. All the keyboardists in SAGA used just about every known Moog product that there was. All of their first 5 albums feature Moogs almost exclusively!!

I love the sounds on this and is found on a very popular song also. I have made a similar preset. "If I see a chance I will buy it". Sounds like a trombone and kazzoo combined.

Klaus Schulze also used one.

I was lucky enough to pick one of these up for an incredibly cheap price, and I must say it is certainly a very effective synthesizer. The basses on this bad boy are very thick and hypnotizing, despite it's having only one oscillator. This is my first synth, and even so, I'm already realizing it's limitations. The sound possibilities aren't endless, but the quality surpasses that fact.
