Synth: Realistic (Moog) MG-1
Review by: Damien Miller

Summary: Excellent value, decent sound, limited capability.

Years Made: ???
Polyphony: The main synth engine is monophonic, but there is a polyphonic 
	section which (I think) is one osc per key (2 octaves)
Multitimbrality: You kidding?
MIDI: no
Other external control: 
    CV/Gate: 1 v/oct standard CV, Trigger is *S-Trig*
    Clock:
    Other CV:
    Audio input: yes, but alas it does not go thru the filter.
    Proprietary (DCB, etc):
    Programmer:
Patch storage: 
    Patch dumping (tape, MIDI, etc):
Voice architecture:
	2 * VCO square and saw waves only (w/ sync)
	Polyphonic section (1 osc/key) sounds like a triangle wave.
	1 x White Noise Generator
	1 x Ring Mod (actually an XOR from the pulse waves)
	1 x AR envelope generator (with switchable sustain)
	1 x VCF (50%, 100% keyboard tracking, env amt)
	1 x LFO (square, tri, s+h) can be used to trigger the envelope
	1 x Mixer
	1 x VCA (switchable between envelope/gate/continuous)
Sequencer/Arpeggiator: no
Keyboard/rack: 2 oct keyboard
Known problems:
Accessories:
Related synths/gear: Moog Rogue (??)
Price range: In Australia: $100AUD to $250AUD
Availability: Check the pawn shops
Comments:
    Strengths: Nice filter, 1 slider per function, small, cheap.
    Weaknesses: F***ing ugly (styling by Realistic). While the VCOs can be 
	sync'd, there is no way to independantly modulate one.
	Limited envelope.
    Overall: I would buy another, given the chance.
