cable connectors and many other weaknesses as well..it is a real maintence
nightmare..besides it does not have a ring modulator or sample/hold..>>

yes those multimoogs are a sweet sweet piece, but lack an actual ADSR : (  
Moog made provisions in back for a modular plug in, so someday I hope to 
stick a 911(?) into it. As to Memorymoog's not having s&h or ring mod, think 
again.  Sample and Hold is in the modulation section, and the third 
oscillator can modulate other oscillators, filter etc at audio and sub audio 
frequencies, with or without keyboard tracking, much better than typical ring 
mod.  There is a reason Memorymoogs are so highly regarded.  Sketchy or not, 
I think the repair issues on these synths is being overstated, either because 
someone wants them devalued ; ) or just sour grapes.  Even in the state mine 
is in, I know it can be fixed, and to suggest their a lemon is not quite 
right.  Party on!
