Moog Music Forum

To get or not get the case makes me kind of nervous. I think the price is high, not outrageous but some thoughts go through my head. I remember I bought an expensive case for my Etherwave Pro from Moog Music. I guess I didn't research it as much as I could have in hindsight. It turned out to be a ca...

It would be fitting if everything on that street was voltage controlled.

:?: I can only make a distant Moog connection with this question. The quest for modular synthesizers eventually leads one to the "synthesizers.com" web site. Has anybody worked with the QKB15S 5-Octave Studio Keyboard? I like the organ-sized five octave range, rather than the shorter synt...

I listened a couple more times. Reminds me a bit of slapping a mic with the palm of one's hand and sending it through a reverb. I would guess it's some kind of acoustic event being used for control. I am hearing vactrol response though as I mentioned he's got a reverb going. Perhaps a forum somewher...

I think you mean Low Pass Gate, which is in part a filter but also has a gate (a.k.a. VCA, though not as fast acting as a Moog VCA for instance, hence the character), I just mention that because there are a number of vactrol based filters out there that are just filters though a couple not specifica...

I guess the manhattan guitar center point is that one has a few things that the average guitar center doesn't have, like high end mics & lunchboxes, trade show displays of historic gear, usually a Moog or DSI to play in the regular showroom, very rarely something used and vintage, once saw an ar...

Well as for L.A. you mean NoiseBug don't you. I don't think Analogue Haven has a retail space any more and I think Big City is by appointment. That's about it, there just aren't a lot of *retail* places like NoiseBug or Schneiders Büero and only a couple more places that are online ordering, I mean ...

First off what is a Moog CS-15? Seems like a typo or are you talking about one of those custom built systems the First Moog Quartet had 40 years ago and Emerson bought a used one of. But I doubt it. If you are talking about a Yamaha CS-15 then I guess it's not so unique in terms of your singling iit...

What you figured out is correct VCO, a VCF, an ADSR and a VCA plus a means of generating a CV and a gate. Though some people start a modular these days as a system for processing and then fill it out into a more complete synth. Take a look at small modular systems or your favorite monosynth to figur...

One of the things a lot of people tend to forget about is that one of the acknowledged reasons Moog Music stopped making the genuine original Minimoog is that it was simply expensive to build and was getting more expensive. So years later to see not one but 2 now non-functional companies - one in Oh...

It's obviously an illustration but smells pretty real to me. My feeling is if it were a fan's wishful fake they would either do something much closer to the original or much more end-all cutting edge. There is realism that comes with going middle of the road, not too many modules but some popular on...

By the way you need CV to MIDI (not MIDI to CV) and once you get it you tend to be pretty limited. It's no magic answer. MIDI's pitch bending range is limited If you play within a sweet range that works you can get something nice but it's not like all your theremin playing is suddenly going to be ac...

If it works it's probably nice to have in a Moog with cinch jones form factor. Nothing that exceptional about a 5 channel interface per se other than there aren't always many multichannel interfaces out there. It's kind of a stretch to think it alone is going to answer your polyphony issues. After y...

The vocoder dates back to the 1930s, but they were not manufactured as a piece of musical gear until the mid 70s, several years after "A Clockwork Orange". What Carlos did was assemble a vocoder out of 22 Moog modules. First the modulating signal was feed a signal into the first custom mod...
