Hooking up a micro and a multi to make a supermoog.

Hello,

I’ve been an owner of a micromoog for some time now and have recently just purchased a multimoog and am awaiting its arrival. I bought the multi to connect to the micro via CV jacks. I know I use the KBD jack and the S-trig. My question is, when using the S-trig, am I going to be using the the input on one synth and the output on the other? or the input on both or the output on both? I’m going to be making the cable for this soon, so I need to know if I’m going to have one end male and the other female, or double male or double female? And if one is using the input and one is using the output, which synth uses what? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

That is the set up that Joey Karem uses in the Locust.

but that’s only half of his setup, its run through a giant modular and several effects pedals.

Im going to take a guess here and say that you would possibly need 1 male ends on each side. I do not know the specs of the multi (but id love to own one) so i can’t comment on half of the cord.

I BELIEVE BUT AM NOT SURE but i think 1 cord would do the trick. and im taking a somewhat barely educated guess by saying that i think you would plug the cord into BOTH keyboard outputs.

However…that keyboard output can also be an input. :wink:

THe Keyboard output Jack is a multi function jack.
Under certian conditions the KBD OUTPUT can be used as a control signal input. (On models with the attenuator the pot must be turned completely counterclockwise in the “click” position) A control fed into the Keyboard output replaces the interal keyboard control signal. In this case, the external signal controls both the pitch of the oscilator section and the cutoff of the filter section, and the keyboard of the micromoog controls nothing. (the keyboard can still trigger the Micromoog).
-Tom Rhea -MicroMoog Manual

Now the manual uses a polymoog in its example. But it did say that it is easy to switch between what keyboard will control the Micro, but when using the Keyboard output (as an input) then you have to remember which note you plast played on the polymoog to know the relative pitch of the oscilator on the micro.

I ASSUME that you will hook your boards up in this way because again, i assume that the output and inputs on the multi are exactly the same as a micro, since the Multi is the Micro’s bigger but younger brother.

GOod luck and if i see anything from the manual ill copy it here if it helps.


I don’t know if you have the manual for the Micromoog, but in case you didn’t you may find that helpful.
