The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce its lead raffle for 2025, featuring a fully restored Oberheim Matrix-12 synthesizer signed by Tom Oberheim, Marcus Ryle, and Michel Doidic.
Ryle and Doidic were the principal designers of the Matrix-12. This Matrix-12, valued at $20,000, has a unique provenance having been owned by Doug Curtis, inventor of the legendary Curtis chips. It was donated to the Bob Moog Foundation by Curtis’s widow, Mary Curtis.
This year, 2025, marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Matrix-12, which continues to be one of the most respected and sought-after analog polyphonic synthesizers in the world today. The raffle begins Monday, February 17, 2025 at 7:00 am (EST) and ends Monday, March 10, 2024 at 11:59 pm (EST).
Tickets for the raffle are $25 each, 5 for $100, 12 for $200, and 35 for $500.
Participants who purchase five or more tickets will be invited to an exclusive Zoom call with Marcus Ryle, to be held in early April.
The raffle is open internationally.
Please read the rules and regulations before purchasing tickets.
Proceeds from the raffle benefit the three hallmark projects of the Bob Moog Foundation:
Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which has inspired over 35,000 elementary school students about the science of sound;
The vast and growing Bob Moog Foundation Archives, which includes over 15,000 historical items;
The Moogseum, located in downtown Asheville, NC. The Moogseum continues to navigate the financial aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which has resulted in a $65,000 loss of income since late September.
