Combined into one housing, eight SEM modules feature sixteen voltage-controlled oscillators (eight voices per each of the two VCOs), eight controlled filters, eight controlled amplifiers with ADS generators that can be configured individually. All...
4 Voice is a semi-modular analog polyphonic synthesizer, assembled and based on the four SEM modules. Thus, the synthesizer incorporated eight voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), two per voice, four controlled filters, four VCA and ADS envelope...
Keeping track of the success of his first synthesizer and willing to create a new product, Tom Oberheim simply combined two SEM modules with a keyboard and a basic sequencer putting them into one housing. This made it possible to get a duophonic...

Minimoog Model D may be the most classic and never-fading or by no means ever outdated analog synthesizer. This is the first synthesizer, which could be called portable, which allowed a musician to put it to good use not only in the studio, but also on...
Moog positioned Prodigy as an "entry-level synthesizer", the instrument was devised to familiarize newcomers with the world of synthesizers. But the history makes it obvious that this synthesizer is not only a toy, but also a device that in many ways...
This is a successful attempt to remind the world of what an analog synthesizer is. It appeared in 2002, when Dr. Robert Moog finally won the rights to his company (Moog Music) back. The signal path remained completely analog and schematically very close...
Quadra - another successful "chimera" by ARP, which can be safely included in the top 100 analog synthesizers. This time four instruments fit one housing at once, which is obvious thanks to its name. Polyphonic section of strings, monophonic bass and a...
