Moog Werkstatt

The Moog Werkstatt is a patchable and compact, one oscillator analog synthesizer. It was originally created as a kit, to be the foundation for exclusive "Engineering VIP" workshops at Moogfest 2014. But because the public demanded more, Moog built a no-soldering-required version! Assembly is extremely simple (you just need a screwdriver). Any user can quickly build an analog synthesizer based on classic Moog circuits, and if desired, study the analog circuits. Plus, it comes with header patch cables, so you can route the control signals any way you want. Through assembly and inspired investigation, the Moog Werkstatt is an excellent platform for exploring the world of analog synthesizer circuits. A lifetime of experimentation, knob twisting, and sound design awaits.
