thanks, were their any other moogs? I know it sounds funny but i am very un-firmiliar, why is this called the minimoog? Was there ever just a Moog?

I want to replicate these as close as possible over the years, so if i want to replicate a minmoog say..i would buy a 45 key light weighted midi controller and thats my best bet eh?

It mean that the lowest notes is a C and the highest notes is a C(on your example) on that specific keyboard or synthesizer.

I am just looking to find out how many keys, and what action the old synths were.

Say, Mini-moog: How many keys did the original come with and what was the action?

Same goes for Mellotron, Arp 2600, Oddysey and others.

THANK YOU!!!

Yes,

Minimoog: 45 keys, lightweighted keys(synth type), F-C

ARP 2600: 49 keys,lightweighted keys(synth type),C-C

Mellotron: 35 keys,heavyweighted keys(not as heavy as a piano,the keys of a mellotron is one of a kind,you play on rubbers

),G-F

ARP Odyssey:37 keys,lightweighted keys(synth type),C-C
