The expanded raffle
runs through September 5, 2014. The winner will be selected on
September 8, 2014. The accounting firm of Corliss & Solomon will

"It's only
logical to expand the contest to include people from all over the world,
and to expand the chances of winning by adding by adding several
synthesizer related prizes," remarked Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive
Director of the Bob Moog Foundation. "It is heartening to see
companies from around the world rally around the important work of the Bob
Moog Foundation, and we deeply appreciate their support."
The Prizes:
The Subaru Outback
($ 23,495 MSRP) and the BRZ Coupe
($25,595 MSRP), Subaru's new 2-door sports car, span the range of lifestyle
appeal. The winner of the raffle can choose from either model.
Korg MS-20 Mini: Korg's iconic MS-20 monophonic synthesizer, first introduced
in 1978, has been perfectly reproduced by the original engineer in a body
that's 86% of the original size, as the new MS-20 Mini. It offers the same
thick, robust sound, iconic analog filter, and versatile patching options
as the original.
Dubreq Stylophone S2: The Dubreq Stylophone S2 is a British stylus-played
synthesizer that uses a printed circuit board as the keyboard, and turns it
into a fully spec'd analog synthesizer. The S2 is a new and improved
next-generation sonic powerhouse, a powerful instrument in miniature, made
famous by artists like Kraftwerk, Marc Bolan, and David Bowie.
SampleMoog Synth Anthology: SampleMoog® Synth Anthology by IK Multimedia
features over 1,900 sounds from 16 rare, collectable Moog synths,
accurately sampled and fully produced with 32 built-in effects.
"The Synthesizer" by
Mark Vail: Newly released by
Oxford University Press, "The Synthesizer" is a comprehensive
guide to understanding, programming, playing, and recording the ultimate
electronic music instrument. The author, Mark Vail, is a renowned
synthesizer historian who also wrote the now iconic Vintage Synthesizers
(1993).
