The Mini-Moog synthesizer was introduced in 1970. It was a truly revolutionary device.
Keyboardist Rick Wakeman says of the Minimoog’s invention: “For the first time you could go on [stage] and give the guitarist a run for his money…a guitarist would say, ‘Oh shit, he’s got a Minimoog’, so they’re looking for eleven on their volume control – it’s the only way they can compete.” Wakeman said the instrument “absolutely changed the face of music.”
Essentially, the Mini Moog was the first widely-available ‘performance’ rather than ‘studio’ synthesizer instrument. The distinctive sound of the Mini Moog is due its 3 available oscillators (most vintage analog monophonic synths have no more than 2) and its 24db per octave filter (in contrast to the less-aggressive 18db per octave filter of its contemporaries).
The Moog Sonic-Six was similar to the Mini Moog, but it has only two oscillators. Its ‘institutional’ design and built-in amplified speaker highlights its intent as an educational instrument.
