If the synth freezes up upon power-up, I doubt very much that simply forcing a CPU reset would resolve the issue. It's more likely that the CPU might have gone bad (it happens often with old Z80), or that some of the RAM chips, or logic gates might be failing. I would try to find a reputable tech th...

Yeah, I wrote that a while back in response to another post. So why would you create a new topic with my reply under your name? Do you have a question about it? Do you have an opinion about it? What? Oh, and welcome to the Moog Forum. :D BTW, this set-up has changed a bit since that post. I now use ...

The Moog One might be a great analog synth, but having had a look at that video starting from 27:37 and on, I must say that this is one of the worst sounding vocoders that I've ever heard.

The Norlin/Moog era Vocoder was in reality a cloned Bode Sound Co. Vocoder Model 7702.

All solid state components inside. No coils, no resonators, all integrated circuits and transistors. As seen here:

Here's a small relaxing improvisation on a sequence, using Minimoog D, Prophet REV2, DSI OB6, Behringer VC340 and Univox SR-95.
Effects: internal REV2 and OB6, as well as Strymon Big Sky.

Enjoy !

Same here, except I can browse the Moog web site, since I'm not using a VIC20 anymore, but an upgraded version of my Amiga 2000: a Mac Mini 2018.

When I got my vintage 1975 Minimoog D it was suffering from a bad case of the drifting pitch, and squirrelly keys. I tried to clean all the coil springs and buss bars, but they were oxidized beyond repair after the synth was improperly stored in a damp place for 20 years by the previous owner. So I ...

Here's a partial cover of Blondie's Heart Of Glass, done with 2 vintage drum machines (Univox SR-95 and Roland TR-77), the Moog Minimoog, Behringer DM12 and VC340 Vocoder. All synchronized by hand and ear (no MIDI in 1970's). The Minimoog bass line was done using oscillator 3 as LFO filter modulatio...

...someday will have to pick up a vocoder, sounds like a lot of fun

Thanks. It is a lot of fun !

RIP Kevin Lightner.

GEO is keeping me on my toes... First he makes me buy a Deepmind because of his amazing pereset kit , then he made me sell it to get a ONE :) Awesome stuff, so worth the support. Go get this guys, it makes it shine...truly shine Funny thing is, if I were to sell my 16 voice Prophet REV2, my Deepmin...

Sorry to read that Megavoice. That's exactly why I always follow the saying: "if it's not broken, don't fix it." Unplugging, cleaning edge contacts and replugging voice cards, or any cards for that matter, you run the risk of messing something up (especially inside a polymoog) by moving wi...

My latest purchase (to go with my synths, which the mighty Minimoog D is part of):

Minimoog D into Strymon Big Sky Magneto mode, VC340 vocoder and strings, and here's the result:

An international collaboration between Paul G (in England) and me (TheAlien666 in Canada). He did the music, I did the Vocoder. It's a cover of Man On The Corner from Genesis done on synths. The vocoder is the VP-330, uh sorry I mean the VC-340. :wink: Enjoy ! https://soundcloud.com/pauly2929/man-on...
