The Multimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music from 1978 to 1981. An upgraded derivative of the slightly earlier Micromoog, the Multimoog was intended to be a less expensive alternative to Moog's flagship Minimoog. It nevertheless had some advanced features which the Minimoog did not include--most notably, it was one of the earliest synthesizers to feature aftertouch capability.

Key features include:

• 44 note monophonic keyboard with aftertouch
• ribbon-type pitch bend controller
• "glide" (portamento)
• two voltage-controlled oscillators with waveform continuously adjustable from sawtooth, through square, to narrow pulse
• oscillator sync
• noise source
• 24db/octave Moog transistor-ladder lowpass voltage controlled filter
• dedicated low frequency oscillator with triangle, square, and random waveforms
• extensive modulation routing options, including sample & hold, audio-frequency modulation of the VCF for quasi-ring modulation, waveform sweep/quasi-pulse width modulation, and more
• external audio input for processing instruments, vocals, etc.
• external control voltage and trigger inputs/outputs for interfacing with other synthesizer equipment
