Moog M15 App Updated!

Moog has updated their already excellent Model 15 app, and along with substantial updates to the Audiobus capabilities, Midi and the built-in recorder they have included three new collections of presets available as IAPs, including a collection I designed specifically for this app called Mercurial S...

Sub 37 Audio Modulation

I just got a Sub 37 and am slowly picking my way through the (many) various modulation possibilities. One thing that I haven't been able to accomplish so far is the ability to use the actual oscillator output to mododulate the other oscillator frequency input (cross mod) or use an oscillator output ...

Re: MOOG 15 QUESTIONS

I've owned a bigger 55 system for a long time, but the limitations in regards to oscillators vs LFO's are still pretty much the same. The 921b can be used as an LFO, but all 921b oscillators track the 921a, so you can't make the other 921b track the keyboard without the 921b LFO speeding up and slow...

Re: Large round trimmer

These were made by CTS. I think I remember seeing them on some tube amplifiers as well being used as 100 ohm hum balance trimmers for the tube filament circuits. I'm not sure what the original model number of this trimmer was. CTS made a 115 series that looked sort of like these...I'm not sure if th...

Re: PCB trimmer/pre-set

Those are the venerable CTS 201 series trimmers, I believe.... http://www.ctscorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Series-201.pdf They're probably still available if you look hard enough. As an official kinda old guy, I remember these fondly, and used them in many homebrew synth projects. I like them ...

Re: RIP Isao Tomita

Tomita was one of my early synth heroes. While I absolutely loved his incredible musicality with the Moog, I appreciated even more his indelible sense of humor when realizing the various pieces of music he tackled over the years. He made the Moog chirp like tiny chicks, made it sing nonsensical and ...

Unhappy, unhappy day. :(

He was a HUGE influence to me, and so many others.

Re: Wiring Issue with Moog System II

The reason I'm asking is because while looking at the current photos on Rezin's site, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be any connection at all to pin 3 (-6V) that I can see in this picture... https://www.flickr.com/photos/cryptorose/24921427145/ If you enlarge the area at the connector, you can...

Re: Wiring Issue with Moog System II

Hi Rezin! I still have a few questions about the 905 reverb module, which I think got lost on a few previous pages. Your help would be greatly appreciated! 1) At the bottom left quadrant, there's a 10uf blue cap, a 220 ohm resistor, then a resistor that I think is a 33k, but is hidden from view by t...

Re: Troubleshooting Old 905 Reverb Unit

Thanks for the great pictures, Tom! So, what's your 100k trimmer hooked to? The 100k on the production unit is hooked between the output and ground...adjusting it low enough would eventually lower the output, but wouldn't really affect the noise. Yours might be the Q2/Q3 feedback? Still hoping for a...

Re: Specs of an original 905 reverb spring

Back when Moog started making these, there weren't a lot of choices for springs. I'm assuming that the springs available back then were all about the same as the units being used in most guitar amps. The typical Fender amp springs back then were usually an 8 ohm input impedance, and a 2.5k ohm outpu...
