Moog modular

The Moon Modular M569 Step Sequencer is Moog-style step sequencer, but offering up to 32 positions, arranged in four rows.

Each row can be controlled independent from each other, so that the user has practically up to four separate sequencers at his disposal, each with its own clock- and reset-input jacks, and – at the same time – different running directions (up, down, random and “ping-pong“).

In addition the control voltage outputs can be switched between three ranges (2 V, 5 V und 10 V, with the 2 V und 5 V ranges supplying a (to 1/12 V) quantized output voltage. Each step position has its own “step-mode“-switch to toggle the gate signal of the respective step position on or off.
In the “Function“ position it (again separately for the four rows) can defined as skip, reset or stop-command.

The Moon Modular M569 Step Sequencer retails for 1498,- Euros inside the EU, 1259,- Euros, outside of the EU. Pricing and order details here. Read more…

I love this great vintage Moog video – Micky Dolenz, by far the cutest of the Monkees, sings Daily Nightly. This is thought to be the first time a Moog was used on a pop record.

Not sure who’s playing the drums and the bass – but Dolenz plays the third Moog modular off the assembly line. Dolenz was in line right behind Walter (Wendy) Carlos and Buck Owens.

We all know what Carlos did with the Moog – but what about Buck Owens?
