● Manufacturer Profile & SysEx Specifications

Moog SysEx Librarian & Patch Vault.

Dr. Robert Moog created the modern voltage-controlled synthesizer in 1964. The legendary Minimoog Model D established the standard synthesizer architecture: 3 oscillators, noise generator, external audio input, 4-pole resonant ladder filter, and dual ADSR contour generators. Later digital-control Moog masterpieces like the Minimoog Voyager, Little Phatty, Sub 37, and Moog One brought full MIDI CC and SysEx programmability to classic analog circuitry. Bipluk offers 1-click Web MIDI preset backups and library organization for modern and vintage Moog instruments.

# Moog Hardware & Protocol Architecture

Manufacturer SysEx ID: 0x04 (4 decimal)
Origin / Founded: Trumansburg / Asheville, North Carolina, USA (Founded 1953 by Dr. Robert Moog)
Synthesis Era: Discrete Analog Monophonic, 4-Pole Transistor Ladder Filter, Continuous Analog Modulations
Handshake Protocol: Moog System Exclusive format (0xF0 0x04 .. 0xF7) with 7-bit packed patch parameter blocks
Battery Standard: CR2032 3V Lithium cell for digital control boards (Voyager, Sub 37); analog boards are battery-free
Signature Silicon: Moog Transistor Ladder Filter (Matched NPN Arrays), Moog CA3080 Modulators, Custom Moog Discrete VCOs

Standard Memory Protect Procedure:

On the Minimoog Voyager, press EDIT, scroll to Master Settings, navigate to 'Memory Protect', toggle to OFF, and set Send/Receive SysEx to Enabled.

Hardware Advisory:

Vintage Minimoogs have no MIDI ports unless retrofitted with an optocoupler kit (Lintronics, Kenton); modern Voyagers require SysEx dumps for complete preset archiving.
