The Moog Factory in
Asheville, NC has resumed production of the highly sought after Moog 16
Channel Vocoder.
The Moog 16 Channel Vocoder has helped shape the sound of
modern music: an analog instrument that continuously analyzes the timbral
characteristics of one sound (the Program) and impresses these timbral
characteristics upon a second signal (the Carrier). Originally released in
1978 (and famously heard on Giorgio Moroder’s E=MC2), this model has been
used to transmute vocals, transform synthesizers, and electronically encode
sound for over 40 years.
Moog Music has gone to great lengths to ensure that this distinct electronic
voice carries on. Derived from the original vintage schematic, the Moog 16
Channel Vocoder’s analog voice circuits are hand-soldered at the
employee-owned Moog Factory in Asheville, NC to preserve that classic 1978
sound. Updated mechanical connectors and a modern power supply improve
reliability and long-term serviceability while ensuring that the analog soul
of this instrument –and its unique character and idiosyncrasies– remain
unchanged.
