Key Features

928 Sample and hold is also very rare. Originally assembled in a separate cabinet, it was adapted on the last modular series

912 Envelope follower (or Schmit Trigger). One of the most popular modules on the Moog systems

12 stage phaser. The Moog 12 Stage Phaser was very well known, and originally conceived as an external rack to the Modular systems.

Formant Filter. A new module developed by Arturia, which did not exist on the original Moog systems.

Some of the modules are now interchangeable, allowing to configure - to a certain extent - the Modular the desired way.
