Description
Unleash your inner synth wizard with the Moog Werkstatt-01 + CV Expander, a versatile entry into the world of analog sound design. Originally conceived for MoogFest’s hands-on workshops, this snap-together synthesizer lets you dive deep into the Moog universe without the need for soldering or technical expertise.

The included CV Expander transforms your setup, allowing seamless integration with other CV-compatible devices. This opens a myriad of possibilities, letting you interface with other analog synthesizers or Eurorack systems to craft truly unique soundscapes.
Perfect for curious musicians and seasoned synth enthusiasts alike, the Werkstatt-01 invites exploration. Its intuitive layout and 13-note button keyboard make it easy to start crafting sounds immediately, whether you're sculpting lush pads or gritty basslines. With a wide-ranging oscillator pitch and flexible modulation options, this synthesizer is your canvas for innovation.

Great starter for subtractive synthesis/sound design
Sometimes you just need a single oscillator Moog to record resample or patch into other gear. This is that synth... It sounds great and gives a full range Moog presence along with the infamous ladder filter and LFOs. I flexes even better when you control with a CV controller like the Keystep. You can also put samples of the Werkstatt into a Simpler device on Ableton and play it polyphonically. Its extremely limited but has great connectivity options if you have other CV gear.
