OK I'll be nice now.

Here is a good intro on programming analog synthesizers

I know a couple others out there but they escape my mind at the moment.

Hi I just shelled out $40G for a brand new Corvette. I want to drive it like Dale Earnhardt and I have never been behind the wheel of a car, so I have no idea where to begin.

Is there any possibility of Big Briar manufacturing the classic intigrated chips in the near future? Don't count on ANYBODY making the classic integrated ICs like SSM, CEM, Roland, or Yamaha ICs. IC fab house expenses run in the six digits, nowhere as expensive back in the heydays of analog. And th...

And as far as 88 notes ... I've never needed that many, and I probably never will. You will if you split the keyboard into more than two zones. I've played many gigs with my 88 key Kurzweil MIDIBoard and there is a need for that many keys at times. Contrast that to my Andromeda where 61 keys is bar...

Yup, Emerson still uses it on stage. There was another thread here somewhere with pics from his reunion tour with The Nice.

He sold both his Yamaha GX-1s and a lot of other gear, but kept the rickety old modular :wink:

No, there is no provision on any of the "baby moogs" to transmit knob/slider/button changes to the front panel. This is analog pre-MIDI stuff. The CV jacks only accept/transmit keyboard CV.

The 955/956 Ribbon Controller is designed for the modulars, not the 1150. The 1150 Ribbon Controller is designed to work with the Minimoog, Sonix 6, Micromoog, Multimoog, and Polymoog. It requires the six pin Cinch-Jones "Accessory" jack on these Moogs for power to the 1150. Since the Memo...

Just in case anybody has any doubts :wink: http://www.modularsynth.com/NAMM2001review.htm Yeah, playing and hearing the thing in the flesh was a highlight of that NAMM show. Very very cool. I've never heard anything so huge on just two VCOs. I don't have the MMV software so I can't comment on compar...

Seen it? I PLAYED it at winter NAMM2001. Monster Cables had it on display patch up with a rainbow assortment of monster cables. Keith's tech Will Alexander was at the show, showed up while we were there, and let us play it. Boy did it sound HUGE.

Yes, the MF-104s and the Vger are a great combination. Put the filters in self-oscillation, mod 'em with S&H, sweep the filters with the touchpad, run the stereo outputs into the MF-104s set to echo mode, wear headphones, and you're guaranteed to be buzzin' :D

Well here's a pic of the Andromeda/Vger/Bespeco rig I brought to AMHW this year.

I use a Bespeco two tiered stand with my Andromeda and Vger. Works great and a hell of a lot sturdier than anything USS makes.

They had a web site but I can't find it. Lots of hits on Google though.

I have both. The Voyager has that famous Moog sound and being a brand new synth would be more reliable than a 20-30 year old one. You'll also gain programmability, MIDI, an extra VCF and LFO, better EGs, better modulation capabilities, touch sensitivity, and far more I/O jacks than the model D. Get ...

Bob owns Moog Music. He won back the trademark to that and other names like Minimoog.
