Two Moogs and five oscillators
A short video showing the powerful sound of 5 analog oscillators and actually being able to play more than one note. Simply adding another Moog via a MIDI cable, using last note priority on the Moog SP, you get to play 2 notes without having to go into the menu and setup a chain (both Moogs have this ability in the menu – Voyager 1, Voyager2 etc and the same deal with the SP).
A rather quick and dirty video – but you get the benefit of having your ear drums pummeled by the 5 osc’s

Moog Realistic Concertmate MG-1 Sound Demonstration
A brief demo of some sounds that the Concertmate can make.
This is the very source of cheap Moog bass! It is a lot like the strap-on Moog Liberation in its design and architecture and also looks and sounds very much like the Moog Rogue. The MG-1 was built by Moog for Realistic (Radio Shack), and was designed specifically for the home market. Very basic and easy to use, this is a nice cheap way to get your hands on Moog sounds!
The MG-1 is a 2-VCO monophonic/polyphonic analog synth with a genuine 24dB/oct Moog filter, however the overall sound is thin. On the MG-1, the VCOs are referred to as ‘Tone Generators’. It can produce sawtooth, square and pulse waveforms, and the oscillators are detunable and syncable. A simple ASR (attack, sustain, release) envelope called ‘Contour’ can be applied to both the amp and the filter. The LFO section provides triangle or square wave patterns as well as Sample-and-Hold. Additionally there is a simple Ring-Mod effect called ‘Bell’.
Unique to the MG-1 is a slider on the far right side of the keyboard which controls the volume of a simple divide-down polyphonic organ sound. This feature makes it at least a little more versatile than the Rogue. There are RCA inputs and outputs (the input is routed straight to the output for playing along with music from your stereo system) but no external speakers as in most other home marketed synthesizers. There is also no sign of Midi or patch memory on the MG-1.
“Sorry about the video quality. It was shot using my computer’s webcam (terrible resolution). While it might not look great I made sure to try and keep the audio quality up. I figured sound was the most important part anyway.”

Moog showcases the MF-104M Analog Delay
The MF-104M features an all-analog signal path with 800ms of all analog delay time, 6 Waveshape LFO, Dedicated Tap Tempo switch assignable to Delay Time or LFO Rate, MIDI control and recall of every function, and Spillover Mode which has been the most popular modification to the MF-104.
The Classic MF-104 was designed by synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog and released in 2000. It utilized a special “Bucket Brigade” delay chip that allowed the effect to remain completely analog. Unfortunately, the supply of these chips was limited and the final MF-104 was sold in 2001.In 2005 there were two limited reissues of the Classic MF-104; the MF-104Z and the extremely rare MF-104SD, of which only 250 were made.
The new MF-104M Analog Delay utilizes the same vintage Bucket Brigade chips found in the Classic MF-104 and faithfully recreates the sound of its coveted predecessors. In addition, the MF-104M includes a number of customer requested feature and function upgrades.

Modular Moogerfooger Madness
Background information:
Having some fun with a whole rack of Moogers. All sounds in this clip are generated and modulated by Moogerfoogers. Not all of them are hooked up for this patch, but the ones that are include the MF-107 FreqBox, MF-101 Low-Pass Filter, MF-102 Ring Modulator, MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, MF-105 MuRF, MF-104SD Super Analog Delay, and CP-251 Control Processor (plus EP-2 Expression Pedal).
There were some very freaky vocal sounds happening here, which made me say “I HAVE to record this.” You can hear this sound like, “yiee yiee YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE.” Really weird (and kind of spooky when you’re in a room alone with this stuff. Don’t ask me how it was patched, I probably wouldn’t be able to get the same sound again if I tried.

And this is the only statement we get:
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
