    • Gary Numan (Synthpop): Known for his pioneering use of synthesizers in synthpop music, Gary Numan has utilized various Moog synthesizers, including the Multimoog.
    • Kraftwerk (Electronic): The German electronic music pioneers have been known to use Moog synthesizers in their groundbreaking music.
    • Throbbing Gristle (Industrial): The influential industrial band Throbbing Gristle used the Multimoog in their experimental and avant-garde compositions.Overview: The Moog Multimoog is an analog synthesizer released in 1978 by Moog Music. It was designed as an enhanced version of the Moog Micromoog, offering more features and greater flexibility. The Multimoog is highly regarded for its rich analog sound and extensive modulation capabilities, making it a favorite among synthesizer enthusiasts and professional musicians.Key Features:
      • Oscillators:
        • Dual VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators): Two oscillators capable of producing a range of waveforms, including sawtooth, triangle, and square.
        • Oscillator Sync: Allows the second oscillator to be synchronized to the first, creating harmonically rich sounds.
      • Filter:
        • 24dB/octave Low-Pass Filter: Classic Moog ladder filter known for its warm and resonant sound.
        • Filter Modulation: Extensive modulation options for the filter, including envelope and LFO modulation.
      • Modulation:
        • LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator): Provides multiple waveforms for modulation of pitch, filter, and amplitude.
        • Sample and Hold: Generates random voltages for creating unique modulation effects.
        • Aftertouch and Velocity Sensitivity: Keyboard aftertouch and velocity can be used to modulate various parameters, adding expressiveness to the performance.
      • Envelopes:
        • ADSR Envelope Generator: Controls for Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release to shape the amplitude and filter modulation.
      • Keyboard:
        • 44 Keys: Full-size, semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch.
        • Octave Range: Switchable octave range for extended pitch control.
      • Performance Controls:
        • Pitch Bend Wheel: For real-time pitch bending.
        • Modulation Wheel: Assignable to various modulation sources.
      • Connectivity:
        • CV/Gate Inputs and Outputs: For interfacing with other analog gear.
        • Audio Input: Allows external audio to be processed through the filter and VCA.
        • Audio Outputs: Standard 1/4″ output for connection to amplifiers, mixers, or recording equipment.

      Sound Characteristics:

      • Rich Analog Tone: Known for its warm, full-bodied sound, characteristic of Moog synthesizers.
      • Expressive Modulation: Extensive modulation options provide dynamic and evolving sounds.
      • Versatile Sound Design: Capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from deep basses and rich leads to complex, evolving textures.

      Applications:

      • Genres: Suitable for electronic music, progressive rock, ambient, experimental, and more.
      • Usage: Ideal for live performances, studio recordings, and sound design due to its expressive controls and robust sound engine.
