Minty! Tested on an amp and working well, all systems go and ready for your studio! This is an original 1981 Moog Source Synthesizer in it's original Moog shipping box with all inserts, bags, owner's manual, power cord and cable. Superb, excellent to near-mint condition that is near impossible to find in such an iconic vintage synth. Tested sound, all keys, sliders, knobs and functions on an amplifier and sounds incredible and works beautifully! This is a great keyboard that you should give you long service and will be a treasured instrument for years to come.        (From Wikipedia): In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note keyboard, and two VCOs that can be selected among three waveforms and three octaves. Programmed presets can be saved to an audio cassette interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave VCF has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two ADSR envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. For modulation, the Source features LFO and sample and hold. The unit also features a rudimentary sequencer. The instrument was used extensively by the band Devo on their 1981 album New Traditionalists, and the band also appeared in early print ads for the keyboard. The Source was also used by Toby Smith, keyboards player from the band Jamiroquai, Depeche Mode and New Order.                                                  Please see all photos.
