Hey there Moog brothers and sisters. Any advice / starting point for a modular nube? I have lots of synths and experience with some semi-modular but dipping into modular intrigues me. Considering seeing about getting my hands on a model 10 - thoughts or advice?
In case of model 10: for integration purposes a MIDI2CVGATE interface could be useful, and a V => S - trigger converter, if not already present. Afaik this is not included.
Well I pulled the trigger on the Model 10. I have until October / November before I receive it so have a while to figure out how I’m going to connect it to my Voyager. Excited - can’t wait!
Do you have the VX-351 CV expander with your Voyager? If so with a CP-251 or equivalent type inverter/attenuverter type function you can invert the keyboard gate signal
You could also build ( or buy, dotcom sells them ) 1/4" to 1/8" jack converter panels, to interface signals between the two. Might be easier than keeping track of adaptor cables?
A few years ago I built this portable utility box from the aforementioned Dotcom jack converter panel and a signal selector panel. Comes in very handy to patch the two different connection types:
The Voyager is the better option as the controller. Get one of those Kenton Midi-CV converters. There are VX units available but Fooger prices have been nuts over the last few months. Reverb seems to enjoy artificially inflating the price.
Hi all, quick follow to this. Took almost a year for my M10 to arrive (SN 85) and have it set up with my mother 32 as a CV controller using a QMVS-48 cable. I can use the on board sequencer on the M32 or via midi. So far so good and super fun
After a month or so with the 10 - it is awesome and the sound is like butter. I had a pretty bad pitch problem tracking the keyboard but after some digging I added an Intellijel Buff Mult between the M32 keyboard CV and the M10 oscillators and it’s solved my issue. I’m pretty good across about 4 octaves now - I’m happy with that
**Short update on this - ya 4 octaves is not reliable. Turning seems to keep changing over time and after full warm up I have maybe 1.5 - 2 usable octaves.
I picked up an Erica Synths Black MIDI/CV and have been playing with the M10 paraphonic - love it, so much fun
Then I look around me at my Moog One 16 voice, Prophet 6, OB6, OBX8, AX60, Roland FP and think ‘oh boy M10 2 voice paraphonic’ LOL but damn I just love it
That seems really strange. If it has a caibration routine, you may want to run it. I was quite sure that the Minitaur and Sirin could be in tune over their whole note range.
