Moog Emerson Modular System Prototype Hands-On Demo
In the video, synth technician Rob Rosen (Rosen Sound) offers a behind-the-scenes look at the rare Emerson Moog Modular.
Rosen discusses the restoration process and demonstrates some of the features that are unique to Emerson’s modular system. He repaired the system at the request of the Bob Moog Foundation, which will be featuring it at their booth at the 2026 NAMM Show.
This unit is the prototype for the Emerson Moog Modular reissue, created by the late Gene Stopp. Stopp was a Moog modular specialist, and recreated Emerson’s Moog with the help of Moog engineers.
If you’re going to NAMM, make sure to stop by the BMF booth to check it out. Keyboardist Andrew Colyer (Circuline) and synthesists Erik Norlander, Rachel Flowers, and Lisa Bella Donna will be demonstrating the system. In addition, two educational and historical presentations about the modular will be given by Brian Kehew.
The Foundation will also present a TEC Tracks panel, Celebrating the Legacy of Keith Emerson, on Friday at 4 pm.
