Moog Music Forum

I'm in Southern Connecticut. I think the unit needs more work than I'm willing to put into.

I have a model 1150 ribbon controller from many years back. I think it originally came with my Sonic 6. I've moved quite a bit in my lifetime and unfortunately I don't have the proper adaptor cables to see if it works on my Sonic or Mini. It also has a broken switch. Definitely needs work ...

Lot's of great music here!! I particularly love Larry's Sonic_Symphony.mp3! Reminds me of early Synergy at times! :hail:

This is one of my recent creations:

Really well done, John! I found it very stimulating to the senses, like a great sci-fi ...

Ahh....what the heck.
From my CD "Sonic Music-The Prisoner".
This one was done as a tribute to Bob Moog.

That helps indeed!

I thank you.

I "found" a model 1150 ribbon controller-which was in storage for years, but can't figure out how to hook it up to either my mini moog or sonic 6.
It has a 2 position switch, one for the mini, and one for the sonic 6.

But the huge connector with 8 pins doesn't match any connection on my mini or ...

yeah, it did sound pretty good. Although, it is drastically under-developed in the envelope department.
It's amazing how much an envelope can contribute to a synths sound.



While I agree that it is does not have the depth of the mini, there are different things you could do with it's envelope ...

Oh...one more thing.
I hope all works out, because there is NOTHING that sounds like the Sonic.

I always thought it sounded like a cross between a minimoog and an Arp Quadra....especially since you can have one oscillator glide while the other didn't.

Thanks, I live in NY and I do have a really good synth tech; His name is Armen and he has a synth repair shop.

I was able to find all of the problems in the "trouble-shooting" section of the service manual, and for all it suggests replacing particular components.

However, within a few hours of ...

Im a Sonic Six owner and have had all sorts of problems with the synth.
The biggest problem being the 2 large curcuit boards which are connected by a rather large soldered 'spine'.

I have the synth working but there are always the tuning problems and intermittent things that just happen to pop up ...

I had the pleasure of talking to Bob via telephone back in the early 80's and he was very gracious.

A song off my CD was dedicated to Bob after his passing. It used the Sonic Six and Minimoog.

As a dedicated Moog user (minimoog and sonic 6), I just wanted to share my joy of making Keyboard Magazine's Unsigned Artist Of The Month for this August.

For vintage keyboard and progressive rock lovers:
I have released a CD which featurs the Minimoog and the Moog Sonic Six.
95% of the CD was played "live" as most of my vintage keyboards do not have midi. It keeps my chops honest :wink:

The CD is now being carried by 6 distributors and is along ...
