The MEMORYMOOG is a six-voice, programmable polyphonic
synthesizer designed to
give the performer as much versatility as possible in an instrument
of its type.
The Memorymoog has the classic Moog sound associated
with the Minimoog and other
Moog products. Housed in an anodized aluminum cabinet trimmed
with select walnut, the
Memorymoog is as beautiful to see as it is to hear. All Memorymoog
functions are under
the control of a Z-80 micro computer which continually monitors
the soundpath,
responding to all per former input through the keyboard, panel
controls, foot pedals and
system controller. The front-panel settings are stored as a "program".
The Memorymoog
will remember 75 programs. These are stored and recalled through
the system controller,
which is used to access all special functions of the Memorymoog.
In addition, 10 program chains-sets of 10 programs-can
be stored and stepped through
forward or back with footswitches for fast onstage voice changes.
Two programmable
foot pedal in puts provide control of volume, pitch, filter cutoff
frequency, modulation
amount, and sync sweep allowing the performer to keep both hands
on the keyboard. The
routing and settings of these pedals are programmable. Different
keyboard modes may be
selected through the system controller. The modes are: l. Cyclic-the
first key played is
sounded by voice #l, the second key, voice #2, etc. 2. Cyclic
with memory: similar to #l
except that a repeated key will not be reassigned. 3. Reset: any
single key will be assign
ed to voice #l (this mode will behave like a monophonic keyboard
on in dividual lines). 4.
Reset with memory similar to #3, but with memory function described
in #2.
In monophonic performance, the number of active
voices (one to six) may be selected to be played
in unison. The keyboard priority (low-note, high-note, or last-note-played)
may also be selected.
Glide may be activated in either the monophonic or polyphonic
modes of operation .
The Memorymoog operates in a continuous edit state; setting of
any control may be instantly
changed by moving that control.
When editing, the alphanumeric display shows both the memorized
val ue of the control and the
edited value.
All information stored in the Memorymoog may be saved on a standard
cassette for later re-use.
The Memorymoog is designed to be as musical and
versatile as possi ble; it can be the
base of any keyboard player's setup.
