The Satellite is a monophonic[3] analog synthesizer that was manufactured by Moog Music from 1973 to 1979[4] in response to the ARP Soloist and ARP Pro Soloist.[5] It had one VCO. It was designed for use with any organ or sound system. The American company Thomas Organ bought a license to build 5000 stand-alone instruments (as the Thomas 1055) and also to build them into their organs.[6] The case is mainly made out of wood.
Preset sounds
- Brass - mute or opem
- Reeds - Thin, hollow, full or bright
- Strings - bow, pluck, strike or pick
- Bell
- Lunar
There were additional tabs to select octave, modulation, glide and sustain, and sliders for filter, modulation, glide and volume.
An upgraded version, the MinitMoog added a second VCO and pressure (aftertouch).
