Moog Music Debuts Emerson Moog Modular System

No, it’s not April 1st. Moog is serious about this – and heaven bless ‘em for it.

With the 50th Anniversary of the introduction of the first voltage controlled synthesizer, the Moog Modular, the company has unveiled a faithful recreation of the Emerson Moog Modular System – the influential musical monster of Keith Emerson.

An Emerson to remember -- new again from Moog.

Three years in the making, the EMM will be the flagship of all flagships for some very accomplished synth nuts. Keith Emerson himself headlined the introduction of the EMM’s rollout at Moogfest 2014, where he played a special performance earlier this week.

Over the last three years Moog Music has set out to research and build a faithful recrea-tion of this highly complex, custom instrument. Using the original documentation as well as circuit board and art files for nearly every original Moog module, Moog Engineers have painstakingly recreated the original Emerson Modular System. The new Emerson Moog Modular System is comprised of handcrafted Moog modules built from the original circuit designs and are true recreations of the originals, utilizing the same hand assembly methods used in the Moog Music factory in Trumansburg, NY in 1969. The modules in the new Emerson Moog Modular System are built just as the originals were, by hand-stuffing and hand-soldering components to circuit boards, and using traditional wiring methods. Even the front panels are photo-etched aluminum (a rare process now), which is the classic and durable, look of vintage Moog modules.

Moog Music is proud to partner with Keith Emerson and salute his pioneering artistry with the announcement that Moog will build a handful of these incredible, custom handcrafted Emerson Moog Modular Systems.
