At the time, the available method of producing electronic music was the “classical studio,” a makeshift production environment cobbled together from individual electronic sound-generators such as surplus telecommunications devices, radio equipment, and early tape machines. Moog and the musicians he worked with streamlined this classical studio technique into a system of standardized sound modules.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Bob Moog began taking orders for individual modules and customized modular systems. By 1967, he and a team of ten skilled technicians were hand-building production models in an unassuming brick storefront in Trumansburg, NY.  The cutting-edge musical instruments that they called “synthesizers” signaled electronic music’s maturation from an awkward and shy intruder in the realm of music to a dynamic and significant medium of musical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe first models were aptly named Synthesizer I, II, and III. With the introduction of the Moog Synthesizer IIIc -- the “c” referring to the walnut “console” cabinet -- musicians could purchase a complete instrument pre-configured for logical access to a range of facilities usually associated with the largest classical studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach synthesizer took weeks of patient, steady crafting to complete, but the payoff would be rich -- a tool that would change the landscape of music. The world got turned on to the idea of the synthesizer -- and electronic music -- through the visionary works of experimental musicians like Wendy Carlos and Isao Tomita. Sonic masterpieces like Switched On Bach and Snowflakes Are Dancing were made possible by the early modular Moog Synthesizers. These original modular systems designed by Bob Moog are inimitable in sonic character and remain highly coveted for their limitless reconfigurability and vibrantly organic musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFifty years later, Moog is proud announce the return of the Moog Synthesizer IIIc to production for a very limited time\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Through archival designs, so-called obsolete electronics, and outmoded production processes, we are rediscovering the magic of our past. It’s a privilege to build instruments in this way; it lets us reimagine what future tools can be. There is so much potential in this history.”\u003c\/em\u003e - Anna Montoya, Moog Production Engineer\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Synthesizer IIIc will be built using all-original documentation, art, and circuit board files. Each instrument features thirty-six hand-stuffed, hand-soldered modules, including ten 901-Series audio oscillators, the 984 Matrix Mixer, and the 905 Spring Reverb. All modules are securely mounted into two hand-finished, solid walnut console cabinets at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMoog Synthesizer IIIc production is highly limited. Only 25 units will be produced and sold worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT NOTE: A new Synthesizer IIIc is built exactly as the originals. It also behaves exactly as the originals, which means tuning instability and susceptibility to interference is inherent to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMODULES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 901 Voltage Controlled Oscillator\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3x 901A Oscillator Controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e9x 901B Oscillators\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3x 902 Voltage Controlled Amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 903A Random Signal Generator\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 904A Voltage Controlled Lowpass Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 904B Voltage Controlled Highpass Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 904C Filter Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 905 Reverberation Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3x 911 Envelope Generators\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 911A Dual Trigger Delay\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 912 Envelope Follower\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 914 Extended Range Fixed Filter Bank\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 984 Four Channel Mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 992 Control Voltage\/Attenuator Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 993 Trigger \u0026amp; Envelope Voltages Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4x Console Panel No. 3, each including: 4-input mixer with + and – outputs, 2 Trunklines, Control Voltage Switches, Attenuator, Click Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Console Panel No. 2 including: Lowpass and Highpass Filters, Jack Multiples,  3 Control Voltage and Trigger Outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Console Panel No. 8 including power switch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x 350 Watt 120 VAC or 230 VAC Switch Selectable Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eINCLUDED PATCH CABLES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e14x 1’ Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8x 2’ Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e6x 3’ Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e6x 4’ Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4x 5’ Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2x 1’ S-Trigger Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3x 3’ S-Trigger Cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMain Console Cabinet: 48.5” W x 15” H x 14” D\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Console Cabinet – 48.5” W x 9.5” H x 8.5” D\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moog Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450124267623,"sku":"78937","price":35000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/moog-synth-iiic_78937_1_bc9ba26c-5416-4fed-b96d-f0f15b7e3c63.jpg?v=1787091794","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/moog-music-synthesizer-iiic","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
