Hey all
On hunt for a multimoog

Located in Perth

Cheers

Matt

Oddly enough, the only Multimoog I saw in real life was in a Perth pawn shop a decade ago. I think it has been sold since then, sadly.

I have a really nice one here but I don't really want to sell it. They are an interesting synth, Moog built some real oddballs in that era, The Micromoog, Multimoog and Sonic Six are all quirky instruments.

Yeah I know! I love the vibe that era!
I ended up buying that micro that was on gumtree.. hopefully will keep me going for a bit

I know whose got that multi.. but they won’t sell

I saw that Micro advertised on Gumtree, well done getting it, what kind of shape is it in?

seems ok... haven't fired it up yet.

now on the hunt for a prophet 600..
you guys know much about the z80 chip that was in the moog source and i believe P600?
any others?? I dig that vibe.. seems like a less common alternative to junos.

The Z80 is a microprocessor that was common in many synths from that era. They are pretty reliable though I did replaced a failed Z80 in a Prophet 10 this week.

oh wow. they were in the 10 too

what do they actually do? they're not voice chips hey?

M

The Z80 is a CPU. It is a microprocessor IC that is used to handle the digital functions of the synth such as patch memory and sequencing.

ahhh right... there ya go

Matt, haven't be!@#$%^& just cloned the P600?

Gawd knows why... I've never heard anything interesting come out of one, at least in the internag demos.

Bottomfeeder have never cloned anything.

The P600 is a surprisingly good sounding polysynth, as is the Six Trak. You have to actually play them, you-tube videos are not a good way to judge instruments. The are basic in their feature sets but when you plug one onto a system and play it they are very engaging and fun.
