introduction The Multimoog is for performers who recognize the power of physical control of electronic musical instruments. Before we had electronic musical^ instruments there was no issue-if you didn't involve your body you couldn't make music. Acoustic instruments require human energy during performance-they must be struck, scraped, plucked, or blown into before they will make sound. Therein lies their power-musical nuance is achieved through subtle physical control. The performer is an integral part of the instrument. On the other hand, electronics makes it possible to produce sound that is disembodied. We can create complex sonic events-clouds of sound-with minimal physical contact. But most musicians choose to use the synthesizer primarily as a powerful voice within an ensemble. This usage, and the immediacy of live performance require physical involvement to yield musical nuance. Circuitry simply can't match human judgment in anticipating the dynamic situation on stage. Fixed circuit values that govern attack, vibrato rate and amount, and other constraints often forced on the synthesist are simply unacceptable to other instrumentalists. This has come about because we have asked "what will this synthesizer do?" instead of "what can / do with it?" But those who have progressed beyond the romance phase of "infinite control" using circuitry are beginning to demand more and better things to put your hands on while playing the synthesizer. It is for these musicians that the Multimoog was conceived. It's a very complete variable synthesizer with some new bells and whistles. More important, the Multimoog is an advance in musical engineering that puts new power to make music where it belongs-in your hands. What does its sophisticated left-hand controller and force-sensitive keyboard mean? If you don't use them, nothing. If you do, everything-nuance. Thomas L Rhea, PhD Electronic Music Consultant
