I’m tired of the Moog grandmother constantly having bleeding oscillators. Why is it that there’s always a damn drone noise coming from the keyboard/oscillators? At first, I thought the oscillator droning was bleeding from the audio outputs of the synth only. Today I find out the oscillators bleed out of every fucking jack on the front panel of the synth. This synth is a beautiful instrument, but so annoying at the same time. Such a stupid problem to have coming from a boutique company like Moog.

An example of what I’m experiencing: I’m trying to send clock info out of the grandmother into my blooper pedal. When I plug the “clock out” jack into my pedal, I hear the bleeding osollators droning away quietly in the background.

Hey!

I’m sorry you’re not happy with your GM.
I don’t have any GM nor any solution, but just a though: are you sure the bleed is due to the oscillators? I guess a simple way to check that is to verify if the pitch of the bleeding tone is following the keyboard activation.
I wish you the tone stay constant and is rather due to any electric artefact that can be fixed.

I have a Grandmother and I know exactly what you’re talking about. VCA mode on Env, no keys pressed, and still droning? Try hitting the “Hold” button on the LHC. Sometimes it will be active but the light won’t be on. I use Hold a lot, so your problem could be different, but that solves the problem for me, without having to power cycle.
