get loaded down, but could still be used into the Micromoog. In practice, this is hard to achieve and cannot exceed 0.98V per octave without modifications. Triggering is Moog standard S-triggering on Cinch Jones connectors. Modulation in/out is on a stereo 3/16" jack – a difficult connector to find. An "access pwr" socket is provided for connection of Moog accessories such as the drum controller, sample and hold, and ribbon controller.

control system, which enables the unit to control or be controlled by other Moog synthesizers, even suggesting using it with Moog modules and sequencer. Unusually, the CV inputs were designed to operate at 0.95V per octave – the idea being that the 1V/octave outputs of synths could

Early Micromoogs had slightly different panel labelling – from serial number 1500 "Articulator" become "Loudness Contour". Later Micromoogs also gained an extra potentiometer on the back to adjust the keyboard output tracking. There were also internal changes to the keyboard.

Other switches like VCA bypass, VCF tone mode and release on/off allow quick changes to be made live. 199:, the Micromoog was designed to tap into a market of musicians who wanted an introduction to synthesis, but who could not afford the $ 1,500 Minimoog. It was designed by Moog Engineer Jim Scott in consultation with Tom Rhea, with electronic refinement input from David Luce and 324:'s waveshape is variable from sawtooth to pulse, which can also be modulated. Additionally, a sub-octave can be added one or two octaves below. Its −24dB per octave low-pass filter has its own envelope generator and can be frequency-modulated by the VCO.
