I was scanning through ebay in the synth catagory and came accross an auction for a split minimoog. Basicly it was a mini without a keyboard. I looked at the photo and sure enough no keyboard. I had never seen this type of Mini before, had Moog made something like this at one time?

There was a split Minimoog. It came in two units that were connected using a special cable. One unit was a Minimoog without the keyboard. And the other unit was the left-hand controller and the keyboard action. It the keyboard unit was set under the panel unit it looked very much like an average Minimoog. See here for details:

I have seen several unit sthat people "cut" apart - it is likely one of those. I believe only ONE factory original split Mini was made - Roger will know for sure.

Gary Wright used to use one he cut apart, and Roger Manning had one - I think Devo too. All professionally done, but not by the Moog factory. It's an easy thing to do, actually.
