Synthesizers.com is an American company based in Tyler, Texas, founded by Engineer Roger Arrick, which manufactures analog modular synthesizers for music and sound-effect creation.

Products

Synthesizers.com modular synthesizer products utilize analog circuitry as did the classic synthesizers produced by Moog, ARP, etc. Systems are constructed using function modules to provide customization and flexibility. Modules include the basic VCO, VCF, VCA synthesizer functions along with more advanced modules such as sequencers, ring modulators and quantizers. Cabinets of various construction styles are offered to house modules and power components.

Synthesizers.com cabinets and modules conform to the physical Moog Modular (5U tall) form factor.[1]

Moog 960 Sequencer Reissue

In 2005, Synthesizers.com began offering a modern recreation of Moog's famous 960 sequencer. The front panel duplicates the original 960 layout while the electronics required a redesign using currently available circuit components. Recreation of Moog's 961 and 962 accessory modules are offered as well.
