The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce its winter fundraising raffle for a one-of-a-kind Eurorack synthesizer comprised of 52 modules by more than 30 Eurorack manufacturers from over 10 different countries. All modules and other components were donated by the manufacturer for the purpose of this raffle.
The system, inspired by Bob Moog’s original vision, has a retail value of $20,000. The winner of the raffle will also receive a copy of Patch & Tweak: Exploring Modular Synthesis, signed by Chris Meyer (author) and Kim Bjorn (publisher), free access to all Learning Modular online courses, as well as a gift pack of t-shirts and other items from Luigi’s Modular Supply.
“This wonderful instrument is a self-contained modular orchestra that also plays well with the outside world,” noted system curator Chris Meyer. “We began by building a collection of Eurorack format modules that were inspired by the original Moog modules, keyboards, and rack units. We then filled it out with a carefully chosen assortment of more contemporary modules and utilities with the goal of playing multiple, varied voices at once while keeping that classic Moog sound. We also incorporated a semi-modular Moog Mother-32, so its lucky owner could start making music immediately without having to first master how to patch a modular synth.”

ABOUT THE SYSTEM:
At this system’s core are eight different filters inspired by Bob’s legendary transistor ladder design. Three analog oscillators and a pair of digital oscillators are complemented by mixers based on the classic Moog CP3 design. There is also a trio of percussion voices, as well as a wide range of modulation sources. Effects include a spring reverb, analog phase shifter, vocoder/filter bank, frequency shifter, and a digital multi-effect module, all combined with a stereo mixer. A pair of traditional Moog-style analog sequencers plus wood-encased keyboard are paired with a MIDI interface and arpeggiator, allowing the owner to play this powerful instrument any way they like.
