Micromoog / Moogerfoogers

[expermusic]

Hello all,

I couldn't find this elsewhere, but does anyone know if a moogerfooger ring mod would track the cv of a micromoog? I'm thinking of getting one to use as an extra oscillator for the micro. Would it track pitch correctly?

Unfortunately if you want the ring mod or freqbox to track with the micromoog you will need some sort of attenuatation like the cp251. I have the micro that has an attenuator knob on the keyboard out and it only tracks about 3 or 4 notes. BUT oddly enough the moog lowpass filter set to self oscillate will track very nicely! It would only be a sine wave though but if you mix it with the micros filter in tone mode you'll have 2 sine osc plus the variable wave osc plus the sub octave so kinda like have 4 osc. Im personally either going to start building a modular around my micro or if modusonics gets up and running again (I know a lot of people have problems with him right now but I don't want to get in to that and give him the benefit of the doubt) id really like to get the dvco !

Ok, thanks! I'll have to check out the filter then.

I'll have to retry some of this stuff mentioned here; I remember trying to do the exact same thing with my Micro and could not get it to track...

I can't remember the exact number, but the Micromoog isn't 1 volt per octave, just something close.

Have you thought about using modules made by Synthesizers.com? I have a collection of their modules, and I have thought of getting a Micromoog as a controller, as it has many more input/output connections than other Moog synthesizers, which would interface nicely with a modular setup.

oh yeah definately, i drool over dot com stuff all day. ideally i would like the dvco for my micro though just because its easy, and hopefully still cheaper than 2 dot com vcos, standards module (micro isnt 1v/oct),a mult, power supply, and something to mount them in. and then i would like to have my dot com/misc modular next to that. but moneys tight right now so im not worring about any of that for awhile

Synthesizers.com has a rackmount frame, which can mount 8 module spaces in a standard rackmount enclosure, as well as an inexpensive "wall wart" power supply for up to 8 modules. Using these could make a great small setup for interfacing with the Micromoog.

I believe it's .92v/oct

The output however IS 1v/oct.
