[2] While the basic synthesizer architecture of the Micromoog was a simple VCO/VCF/VCA, inexpensive enhancements provide different creative options than the Minimoog.

Moog chose to use two A(S)R envelope generators (with switchable sustain) instead of the single ADSR more commonly found on budget synths.

Other switches like VCA bypass, VCF tone mode and release on/off allow quick changes to be made live.

Unusually, the CV inputs were designed to operate at 0.95V per octave – the idea being that the 1V/octave outputs of synths could get loaded down, but could still be used into the Micromoog.

Inputs: filter, oscillator (0.95 volts per octave), S-trig, Audio Modulation Early Micromoogs had slightly different panel labelling – from serial number 1500 "Articulator" become "Loudness Contour".
