Re: Opus 3 Issue

Divide down synths use release capacitors in the divider circuitry. Sometimes these can be caps that are prone to failure such as tantalum or electrolytic caps. This is where I'd look first, identify the exact notes in the circuit and then check the capacitors.

Re: PLEASE HELP : ( Sub 37 unable to be played via drawn Midi notes

are you drawing the notes with 0 velocity?

Try doing a reset of global settings also.

Re: Opus 3 Strings not working

you can always check the solder under the connectors, I remember seeing an opus once which was missing strings because of a cold solder there. Otherwise, as usual it's a difficult to troubleshoot anything over the internet. Always best to take it to someone who can look at it if you are stuck.

A little tip if experiencing a distorted sound

Greetings, with such little info out there on the technical side of the moog guitar I thought I’d share something that’s recently solved an issue I was experiencing. After bringing my E1 in for a setup, I noticed there was almost a fuzz sound in some of my strings. After getting in touch with moog s...

Re: E1 refret?

I had my frets plek'd, not once, but twice since I wasn't happy with the results. Either the plek operator had no clue what he was doing or something is up with my E1... it buzzes like crazy from the frets. Even after the second time it still buzzed bad. I almost wonder if I should just have the dam...

Re: Memorymoog issue, no output, LEDs frozen after short/sli

Wait, the 4051's are supposed to be -15v? Are you sure? If you're reading -15v on all 4051's it sounds like S131 is plugged in backwards....

I remember working on a MM once that had a dead -15 rail, and the only thing it affected was the voices. The digital side all worked..

Re: Moog One FEATURE Requests

It would be nice to have a release stage added to the aftertouch. The problem with aftertouch is always that key pressure off is always too abrupt, would be nice to have a smoothing feature so the signal fades back to 0 AT.

Re: Moog One Bugs

POLYPHONY SECTION BUGS POLY COUNT and STEALING MODEs are very bugged. When setting Poly Count to an arbitrary number and the sound is saved, ie. 4 voices, changing the sound back to "AVAILABLE VOICES" will stay at the last amount of voices saved into the patch, ie. 4. "NO STEALING&quo...

Re: BUG - high note priority

I see... tried googling it but couldn't find anything about it but a search here with some digging I found someone else reporting it. Hard to believe they haven't done much about it, at this point I doubt they'd ever fix it since it's probably too old to bother and not many seem to care. Oh well, st...

BUG - high note priority

Being inspired by the MG-1's synth architecture of simultaneous lead synth with poly section through filter, I thought I'd try something similar on my sub 37... sending a poly synth into the input of the 37 and set both oscillators to high note priority to always have that lead type sound over polyp...

Re: MG-1 won't play B, C and C#

i'm having this issue with mine. Just the Note A in all three octaves isn't working. I've replaced the TOG (Top OCtave generator), all 3 octave divider chips MM5823 and the IC next to them the 4031 iC. And its still occurring. Any ideas? Well, according to the service manual if you are having a pro...

Re: MG-1 tuning issues

Also, measure the tempco resistor underneath the 3046 for osc2. It is supposed to be 100ohms, but it is possible that it has drifted way out of spec.
