Moog Music Forum

I agree 100% and a quick comparison to any other mfg's keyboard will show that the sub 37's keyboard is not right... I love the synth but the keyboard is a big disappointment. It is not a matter of taste/preference,it is objectively an issue on mine:the black keys are stiff and are too high,the whit...

I'm having the same issue with my new Sub 37..... the action is way too stiff... I'm going to do as you mentioned and contact Moog and get those replacement springs.

Just got my SUB 37...... an editor will be awesome!..

I've had my Sub 37 for just over a week now and I have to agree with some of the comments regarding the keyboard, I don't feel it's "cheap" or "crappy" per say, but the action is WAY too stiff... it takes too much pressure to sound a note making the playing of faster runs difficu...

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful vacation. As far as providing "technical assistance", I'd be happy to answer any questions that I possibly can and if Moog Music wish to discuss salary - terms for providing technical support to their customers, I would be happy to entertain such an id...

Hi Alien, Thanks for the reply. I agree 100% with everything you've said, especially the "no tuning acces holes" and "sensitive single turn trimpots for its stretch tuning and scaling" To give some credit to Moog service, they did provide me with the scaling adjustment procedure ...

No need to feel "insulted" because someone disagrees with your suggestion. I'm not going to repeat what I've already said about the slim chance of a power supply issue affecting just the scaling on one oscillator, and as long as we're qualifying our experience, I've been employed full time...

MC?? I was refering to me not having a schematic for the voyager. Do you have a schematic of the voyager? If so, can you explain how the volt-per-octave scaling is implemented? It is my understanding that the voyager schematic is proprietary information and not available to users, but hey, I've been...

I think you might be right about that.... perhaps a 10 turn pot upgrade/retrofit may be in order. Of course, I am going to speak with Moog's service department before I do anything extreme like that. Thanks! I suspect your "detuning" problem over time, might simply be caused by poor qualit...

As I mentioned, if this was a power supply problem, there would very likely be other issues. Anything's possible but this is a keyboard scaling adjustment issue and I highly doubt this has to do with voltage regulation per say. We can guess all day, but without a schematic to see how the volt-per-oc...

Kinda doubt that. The DC voltages are regulated. If there was a power supply problem I'd imagine there would be other issues showing up as well. Wish I had a schematic.... Time to take another trip to Moog, not that I mind visiting Asheville but if this is going to happen every few months......... :...

My RME was just at the Moog factory a few months ago for a scaling adjustment, calibration, etc. The oscillators were not tracking correctly. For example, if two oscillators are tuned in unison at middle C, then playing a C two octaves up, one oscillator would be "out" with the other one. ...

Cats are also proud that there was an analog synth named after them back in the 1970's

I have cats and they have access to my studio, I found that putting just a little bit of some citrus smelling stuff, like "orange glow" on certain pieces of equipment keeps them away.... they can't stand it! and I hardly notice the pleasent orange odor...
