Moog Concertmate MG-1

The Moog Concertmate MG-1 is a portable analog synthesizer produced by Moog Music in collaboration with Realistic (a division of RadioShack) in the early 1980s. Designed as an affordable and user-friendly instrument, it was aimed at hobbyists and beginners, offering a simplified version of Moog's classic analog synthesis capabilities. The MG-1 features a built-in speaker, making it self-contained and portable, and includes basic controls for shaping sounds, such as oscillators, filters, and envelopes. Despite its budget-friendly nature, the MG-1 retains the warm, rich tones characteristic of Moog synthesizers, making it a popular choice for those seeking an entry into analog synthesis.
