Moog Realistic Concertmate MG-1 [HQ]

http://www.corsynth.com

During the last few days I've been restoring this Moog Realisitic Concertmate MG-1 and now the synth is like new. The Moog MG-1 is basically a Moog Rogue with a polyphonic section, it has 2 VCO , 1 LFO with S&H , 1 AR envelope , noise,ring modulator and a genuine Moog filter. The sound is amazing and you can get a lot of different kind of sounds from deep basses to soft leads and brass sounds.
On this video i'm just showing a few of sounds that can be created on moment with this little synth

please can you help me or at least put on here a description of what you had to do or did to get it to sound this good !!!I would appreciate it so much!

@unferoathlover I've made a few mods to increase the audio quality , but the sounds that you hear on the demo is just what you can get with this synth :)

Hey Thalassa awesome sounding demo. Kinda off topic here, but how did you get the mg-1 to sound so crystal clear. most ive heard has that dreaded hissss sound. Yours sounds very good. Is it because of outboard gear (fx, compressor/limiter/gate rack, etc)? cheers

@mastertrev Thanks , this synth is a little beast :) . The demo was made after a restoration process where I've made modifications to get better signal/noise ratio. It's great that you notice that.

Nice job with the tweaks. There are a lot of clueless synth users on YouTube.

i got a MG-1 myself, but it need some work..  wish u were living nextdoor to me :)

I'd guess the mods involve perhaps replacing the US transformer with UK transformer with proper earthing perhaps, improving grounding connections, replacing or fixing power supply rectifiers and heat sinks, replacing audio sockets with proper grounded shielded wires, cleaning all pots and sliders with contact cleaner. And removing all the old foam goo inside. Just a guess.

What should the Keyboard Glide slider do? I can't get it working on my MG-1.

I find it saddening that no one noodles Emerson Lake and Palmer in these :-/
