Cleaning Knob Panels

Does anyone have recommendations for cleaning knob panels on a Sub 37 or Matriarch? Mine have gotten pretty dusty. I was thinking maybe a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle. On a related note, my Sub 37 pitch and mod wheels had gotten a little gummy over the years and so I was able to carefully clea...

Two Expressions Pedals on a Matriarch?

Is there a way to connect two expression pedals with a Matriarch. I have the one set up through the back jack as explained in the manual. However, I'd like a second one. I was trying to add a 1/4" to 1/8" jack to the other expression pedal and then run it through one of the attenuators to ...

Taiwan? I hope that's not true that they would so quickly put everyone in Asheville out of work.

Re: Grandmother patch mapper/saver

Yeah, these look interesting. I'd also be curious what people think of the Matriarch one.

Re: Should I get a Moog sound studio?

I would agree that those are two very different types of synths so it depends on what you want. Here are some questions: 1. Are you already a keyboard player? Is playing a keyboard something you already know how to do well (or want to learn better)? Sound Studio is awesome (I have a DFAM and Mavis) ...

Re: Battery Powered Mavis?

Interesting, that's cool. I didn't realize something like that existed.

I'd still be curious though if a DYI solution I make on my own for under $20 would still work if done well.

Battery Powered Mavis?

I recently got a Mavis and one of the fun things about it that with the lid it is very travel friendly - about the size of a book. I saw its power is +12 Volts DC, 1.2 Amperes. I was wondering if I wired up a 8 AA batteries in series I could just make a portable battery pack for the Mavis? Would tha...

Re: Moog Purchased by Inmusic ?

@carles It's definitely quite possible that the company wasn't quite as employee-centric as its it appeared (49% is still better than the more common 0%) but as you said, "There seems to be little hope that the recent buy-out will change things for the better in terms of such practices". W...

Re: New alliance for Moog, hopefully a great development

This is tragic. Part of my love of Moog is not only their sound and their instruments but their ethos as an employee-owned independent company that clearly cared about quality, community, and employees. That ethos allowed for a trust in the company. I have no reason to have trust in InMusic or any r...

New Moog in the works? "LABYRINTH"

I was looking into discussions of the Mavis on this board same someone posted about the registration of the Mavis trademark about two years before it was released: https://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35396&p=182364&hilit=mavis#p182364 Out of curiosity I checked again and they...

Re: Matriarch Global Settings Editor

It probably depends on how the Matriarch is made and the flexibility of its firmware. I remember a couple years back when Moog released an editor for the Minitaur and a new firmware version that significantly expanded the instruments capabilities. It kinda depends on how much more is hiding inside i...

Re: Keeping Track of patches / music ideas?

Form my DFAM, I've wanted to get card stock and some nice 1.5cm hole punches so I could make my own patch cards that come with the DFAM. Probably wouldn't be too hard once you figured out the spacing for the initial version.

Re: MOOG ONE VS PTOPHET TEN AND OB8X

Ok, thanks that's good to know. I guess I'll just have to find a play to play a P6 or P10 some day.
