“Moog is a regal breed of synthesisers that are slightly untamable,
which is why we (musicians) love them. Always on the edge of boiling
over; taming one’s Minimoog was like riding a wild mustang, and bringing
it to heel. When the polyphonic Moog Memorymoog first appeared in 1982,
it was like having a team of six mustangs pulling a stage coach, its
power was thrilling, and everybody had better get off the road to let it
through...
“Its name was derived from the Apollo-era, onboard computer memory
needed to save patches - once one had laboured with its 18 oscillators,
modulation possibilities, and the gorgeous ‘Mooginess’ that lives within
its filter circuits. The sheer amount of electronics under the hood of a
Memorymoog made it literally pump out hot air; making her prone to pit
stops and custom updates as the years went by. . . .
The Memorymoog Plus was the last instrument produced by Moog Music
before its bankruptcy in 1986. It came hot on the heels of the
Memorymoog, adding basic MIDI functionality to Moog’s flawed
masterpiece, a concession of sorts to the digital revolution threatening
the company’s existence. The Memorymoog Plus update served a purpose.
It also marked the end of an era.
