[sdiy] Concertmate MG-1 mods/schematics

[Jon Darby]

Don't overlook the brand-name brother to the MG-1 the Moog Rogue. Apparently
from what the designer of the MG-1 (our very own and sometimes controversial
Paul Schreiber) has said in the past, the Rogue is the result of Moog taking
his MG-1, stripping out the polyphony, and packaging it in a debonair black
box. I use my Rogue constantly, it's a workhorse of a little synth, so I
hope you enjoy your MG-1. Anyhoo, my point is, you can also search for mods
for the Rogue and they will most likely apply to your machine as well. I've
always wondered if you could add the same inputs/outputs built into the
Rogue into the MG-1 easily. I've never had my hands on an MG-1 (yet), but
man I dig those colors. :)
