Earlier in the week, Moog Music announced that the Moog Werkstatt analog synthesizer is now shipping worldwide.
Moog also introduced a new portal for Werkstatt mods and a series of videos that demo nine Moog Werkstatt synthesizer mods. You can view the video playlist via the embed above.
The mods include:
- Werkstatt Photo Sensitive Resistor
- Werkstatt Pressure Sensitive Resistor
- Werkstatt Volume Knob
- Werkstatt Fine Tune
- Werkstatt Pitch Bend
- Werkstatt 2nd Oscillator
- Werkstatt Arduino Noise Generator
- Werkstatt Arduino Arpeggiator
- Werkstatt LFO Quantizer
The Moog Werkstatt-01 synthesizer is available worldwide, with a US price of $329. A Moog Werkstatt Mod Kit, which contains parts for modding the Werkstatt, is also available, via Sparkfun, for $29.95.
just ordered one tonight. Really excited as not owned a moog for 30 years. I’ll get the werkstatt first before I look at mods. Still, great to know. 🙂
So happy to see this.
they published the schematic, too ! now this is interesting
Yep, I’ve taken the plunge too, my first ever Moog and probably my first ever venture into custom electronics; I will be getting the peripherals needed to try these mods, nothing else has inspired me to do so so far.
A stunning and very seductive lure into the world of electronics… in theory at least! I will withhold full judgement until I’ve played with it, but so far this is looking like a very significant step forward in making this technology accessible to a wider audience. Good work Moog!
Does anyone else see the irony in this…
1x “Mini Modular” Breadboard
So…. a D-Beam is crap when Roland does it, but is awesome when Moog does it?
sounds like you are talking to someone specifically rather than the entire world
for example i think dbeams are awesome wherever they are
who said rolands d beam is crap? get ur dick out of a knot
I’ll get one tomorrow from Santa Claus. I have millions ideas what to do with it 🙂
