The Moog Polymoog was originally to be part of the Moog Constellation - an ambitious collection of synthesizers and a pedal board. Whilst that project never reached fruition, the main synth - which was to be called the Apollo Polyphonic Synthesizer became the Moog Polymoog. Model 203a was the first version featuring eight presets - Strings, Piano, Organ, Harpsichord, Funk, Clavi, Vibes and Brass; a later version was released, the Polymoog Keyboard 280a, which increased the number of presets to fourteen, but reduced the editing capabilities. These new presets were Chorus Brass, Electric / Honky Tonk pianos, Rock Organ, Strings 2, and Vox Humana. Vox Humana is well known as the string sound Gary Numan used on his early hit ''Cars.''
