Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Hi Sunny,

To be honest, most people in the audience would not even notice if an instrument was out of tune. And neither would most GUITARISTS !! :o

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Fortunately, and unlike most other analog synths, the D has an A440 reference onboard, and a switch to turn the output off momentarily when retuning the synth to that reference (with headphones) before each couple of songs. Because no matter what version of the oscillators you have they will still ...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Hi Sunny, Thanks mate. Well the dearest i have seen one on 'ebay UK' for (and is still on there now) is 5,500 GBP which is just totally stupid !! And ones which work but have a damaged/chipped/scratch exterior seem to sell for between somewhere 2,000 and 2,500 GBP. This friend of yours Leo, does he ...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Hi Megavoice, Ta for your helpful reply. i was told that the very early Minimoogs were fatter sounding but had less-stable Oscillators which would be frustrating to the performer tuning-wise. And that the best sounding (overall) are within the first 10,000 made. And also that the best batch (reliabi...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Thank you Kevin, As i say, i am not really that bothered about having the fitted Midi facility on the Minimoog from Germany. However, i asked the seller in London about having him possibly fit a SAMPLE&HOLD which he said is possible but has not got back to me with a price. Of it, he says :- Osc ...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Cheers Alien, i can't see it being a problem with the seller if i want to try it out first. Its me who is doing all the leg work. Yes the model is nearly 30 x years old as you say. But if it has just been serviced this summer then surely it will be in as good as condition as anyone would expect ?? T...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Thanks a lot Kevin, Yes, the Multimoog is very good for what it is and gave me a good introduction to Subtractive Synthesis, but i just can not (for the life of me) get that Minimoog sound out of it !! :? The Multimoog is an instrument of which you have to accept it purely by its own merits. i am ag...

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Thanks Sunny,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

i think a trip to the Netherlands would be a bit much to be honest. Diesel and the car ferry would work out to be very quite expensive in all.

Though i did check out the 'Synthforum' site thanks.

Re: Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Thanks a lot Kevin, A friend of mine has borrowed a Minimoog for a few weeks and so i am going to be able to have a play on it at the end of this month. But obviously it is not the model in Germany or London which are for sale. But at least it will provide me with an opportunity to see and hear one ...

Mini The Moog (newbie advice) ??

Re: The Source: Parameters for Factory Sounds (and other)

Thanks CZ,

i think i may have had the cassette playes(s) plugged into the mains power.

The DX21 took about 5 x mins to load the data and as i say, it bloody crashed in the final few seconds !!

Ta,

Re: The Source: Parameters for Factory Sounds (and other)

Do remember buying those certified C-10 cassette tapes to store my patches/sequences. They were pricey, but guaranteed not to have any drop outs that could cause data errors. Thanks CZ, So you mean the C-10 (or even C-5) were much better for making such data transfers ?? Do you think that (because ...
