Re: Gaze into my Minimoog Power Supply crystal ball...

I should buy 1000 at a steep discount. Then keep them in sealed mayonnaise jars in the vaults of Funk and Wagnells for 75 years. I'll be able to personally deliver directly to your door in my GooGull flying car any where on the planet. Only 3000 credits for Earthers. Mars and the moon will have inte...

Re: Overdrive Light

I could be wrong but that teeny tiny light bulb
is the kind that used to go in phones
back before LED's.

We use to put them under the hold buttons
of those old school Rockford Files phones.

You all know the theme song right?
Landmark Mini Moog song.

Re: Programming tricks on a Model D

Royalston, Not sure if your answering the right question there. Or perhaps you saw my Mini Moog vibrato thread? If that was it, I got an answer from Moog about it using the CP 251 that was what I was after. Kind of. What I really need is a very small module that can take a control voltage from the p...

Re: Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

Well I got my question answered by Moog tech support. Using a CP-251 I can use the cv out of pressure from the Mini. Then use the LFO in the CP-251 jack in to the mini oscillator CV in. The oscillator in will give vibrato centered on pitch. Not additive. Done. I think I can get nutty with this and u...

Re: Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

Wow. Nobody has done this with an original D retrofit or anything? I'm about ready to try a bar from a small self propelled lawn mower and do this mechanically. Or maybe a knee swell pedal from a Farfisa. Remember those? Also is there a way to adjust the pitch bend max setting? A trim pot somewhere?...

Re: The new KARP Module D ...

Roland needs to hire Korg to make their boutiques.
That form factor for a minus module just looks right.
Very lap worthy.
I've got a D so not interested.
I'm waiting on the DM12.

Re: Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

Those are my 2 thoughts as of now. The midi to LFO to input may not be the answer because I'm not sure what the mod source input is meant to be for. If I could get my hands on an LFO that's addressable via pressure cv that would be ideal. Then I could source a very small one and attach it somehow. I...

Re: Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

I called moog. There isn't a way to do this. Not without doing a destructive mod of some kinds but I haven't totally given up. I need an LFO to experiment with. Or my other thought was going old school like an Egyptian and making a pedal that attaches to the wheel and mechanically give it some gas. ...

Re: Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

After some practice I think the pressure out to oscillator in and with the dial on the back barely cracked off full off, you can do basic vibrato just like a real guitar string which is always up anyway. If I'm doing solo violin type of emu's I'll have both hands anyway. Is just really difficult to ...

Vibrato under pressure on Re Issue Model D Help please

I need control over vibrato depth with pressure. I have to play one handed while covering other things. Most every synth is capable of this and I'm just not finding a way. I can whammy the oscillator pitch up but that's not controllable with consistency. The mod source input means having something t...

Re: Minimoog Model D Overdrive Trick

Perhaps so.
Right now to me it's not usable for much.
The effect is very subtle. Then it goes wacky.
I was hoping for controlable warmth with a touch of frying eggs.
Seasoned to taste.

Re: Minimoog Model D Overdrive Trick

To me it sounds like the amp feedback is self oscillating and there is a bit of gated stepping. Since you have no control over that self oscillation, it doesn't change No matter what you do. I was under the impression that this was preamp into preamp overdrive. That would just get dirtier and dirtie...

Re: Minimoog Model D Overdrive Trick

So does anyone with a vintage get a weird modulated overdrive with this trick? I have a re issue D and it's very touchy. It's very subtle then you get to a point where it just goes berserk. Almost blasted FM sound that modulates between 2 tones at a medium slow tempo. Very distorted like a guitar am...

Re: Minimoog Model D [Mod Src Input] and external mod contro

Very very interesting indeed. I was just tackling this myself as I would really like vibrato under pressure and am not finding a way to do it. The other big one is setting the pitch bend to a more usefull interval I haven't figured that one out either. I think it's 9 semi tones now? Which isn't grea...

Re: Programming tricks on a Model D

Hahaha. Thanks. Yes. I owned a Moog in the 70's. Ultraman and Uh Oh! Chongo! were on after school tv. Banana splits right? And lest we forget. Dark Shadows!! That show scared the crap out of me for some reason. My first gigs were Moog, a Farfisa, and a Roades suitcase. I had the hot set up. Throw a ...
