  "Update: be sure to check out the comments for more. This was actually made by Bob Moog. / Title link takes you to shots, including some of the inside, via this auction (http://rover. ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=4&campid=5335815742&toolid=10001&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Febay.com). / “This auction is for one vintage Formula Sound Multiple Resonance Filter Array. This is a USA-made fixed filterbank / string filter from the 1970s that was (according to the engraved faceplate) custom made for San Francisco musician and producer Patrick Gleeson. Gleeson made some excellent albums on his own, but was better known as a session musician and producer/engineer who worked with artists as diverse and influential as Herbie Hancock and Devo. Though this model was advertised by Formula Sound in some magazines back in the 70s (see picture), this is the only actual unit I have ever seen or heard of. Since the faceplate says it was custom made for Gleeson, I believe it is the only one in existence. In theory it is similar to Moog String Filter but with greatly expanded and more tweakable facilities, but generally it excels at allowing you to electronically simulate the natural resonances of an acoustic chamber (like a violin or other stringed instrument). / This is also presumably somewhat of an inspiration for the Moog MURF pedal, as they seem to have taken the name from this unit (MURF stands for MUltiple Resonance Filter). Unit runs on 110V voltage and comes with a standard IEC power cord. ...”

  "Bob would borrow Michael’s modular for various engagements. When Bob was in town, he would stay at Michael’s beach house, and they would often have dinner together. Some cherished memories from this time for Michael included going for walks on the beach with Bob, and even going for a swim together. / Around the time of his work with David Shire on the soundtrack for Apocalypse Now, Michael purchased the Bode/Moog Vocoder and the Formula Sound Multiple Resonance Filter Array from Bob. / Bob was responsible for some of the first efforts in taking the communication device that was the vocoder and converting it to a musical instrument. ... The Formula Sound Multiple Resonance Filter Array. The Multiple Resonance Filter Array was a device made to generate resonances in various sounds, and was especially effective as a “string filter,” a device that applied the resonances of strings to synthesizer sounds, making them sound more string-like. ..."
