Models

  • Memorymoog

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Memorymoog, released in 1982, was Moog's most ambitious polyphonic synthesizer, offering six voices each with three oscillators for a huge, lush sound. Powerful but initially troubled by tuning instability, it is now prized as one of the richest-sounding vintage analog polysynths.

  • Moog Matriarch

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Matriarch, released in 2019, is a four-voice paraphonic semi-modular analog synthesizer. With four oscillators, a stereo analog delay, spring reverb, sequencer, and an extensive patch bay, it sits at the top of Moog's semi-modular family.

  • Moog Sub Phatty

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Sub Phatty, released in 2013, is a compact monophonic analog synthesizer in the Phatty family. Built for fat bass and aggressive leads, it features two oscillators with a sub-oscillator, a multidrive circuit, and a streamlined panel.

  • Minimoog

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Minimoog is a portable analog monophonic synthesizer made by Moog Music, with a 44-key keyboard and three oscillators feeding Moog's signature ladder filter. The original Minimoog is the Model D, later reissued by Moog Music.

  • Moog Theremini

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Theremini, released in 2014, is a modern theremin with a built-in digital synthesis engine. It adds scale quantization (pitch correction), preset sounds, and a tuner to make the famously difficult instrument more approachable while preserving its gesture-controlled playing.

  • Realistic Concertmate MG-1

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Realistic Concertmate MG-1 is an analog synthesizer built by Moog Music and sold through Radio Shack in the early 1980s under its Realistic brand. A consumer-oriented instrument, it offered genuine Moog circuitry—including the Moog filter—at a low price.

  • Moog Mother-32

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Mother-32, released in 2015, is a semi-modular analog synthesizer in a tabletop case with a built-in step sequencer and a patch bay. Designed to be used standalone or integrated with Eurorack and other Moog semi-modulars, it launched Moog's modern semi-modular family.

  • Moog Satellite

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Satellite is a preset-oriented monophonic analog synthesizer from the 1970s, designed as an affordable combo-style instrument with a selection of ready-made voices plus some hands-on control.

  • Moog Werkstatt-Ø1

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Werkstatt-Ø1 is a compact patchable monophonic analog synthesizer originally offered as a build-it-yourself kit at Moogfest 2014. Designed as an educational instrument, it exposes Moog's classic circuitry with header pins for experimentation.

  • Moog Liberation

    Keyboard

    The Liberation is a strap-on keyboard synthesizer Moog introduced in 1980, one of the first keytars. Worn like a guitar, it combines monophonic and polyphonic sections with a guitar-style neck controller for pitch bend and modulation, freeing the player from a stationary keyboard.

  • Moog Minitaur

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Minitaur is a compact desktop analog bass synthesizer introduced in 2012 in the Taurus lineage. Focused on deep, powerful bass, it offers two oscillators, the Moog filter, and MIDI/CV connectivity in a small tabletop unit.

  • Moog Phatty

    United States

    The Phatty family is a line of analog synthesizers Moog introduced with the Little Phatty in 2006, built around the company's classic oscillators and ladder filter at more accessible prices. It includes the Little Phatty, Slim Phatty, Sub Phatty, and the paraphonic Sub 37.
