LFO stuck

hey y’all! It’s been a long time, I’ve been a busy boy! Anyway, my voyager old school LFO is stuck on the highest speed, so it’s basically unusable- anyone ever had this happen?

Hey :slight_smile:
Last time we talk was like “oh it’s been long… glad to read you again” hehe :slight_smile:

I don’t have any clue about your LFO problem. Hopefully, only the potentiometer is broken. Anyone?

yeah, I’ve been using a minibrute for my synth gigs but of course it’s not near as fat as the Moog, and I miss my sync!! Last night I dug up an Electro Harmonics cv sequencer and plugged in into the mod2 port, so at least I can create a vibrato now… I’ll call Moog and see what they think… cheers man, hope all is well!

Yep, life is cool :slight_smile:

Please report us what you’ll find out!

got on Moog chat on their site- they advise an RMA; I don’t think it’d be that big of a fix, but my under-the-hood tool set is pretty much non-existent, and my sauntering skills are horrifically bad-
but man, great customer service- within 10 seconds of posting, I had a tech- thinking about getting it all fixed up then selling for one of these new offerings.. or maybe not- the Grandmother appeals to my original love affair with the MG1, but I’d like to hands on try it out first- the Osc sync has to be as lovely as the Voyager- Can the GMother be overdriven? I know I could look that up, but I’m lazy..

From some demos that I’ve watched, yes the GrandMother can be overdriven in a very good way. If you raise the levels in the mixer section you’ll hear a very pleasant harmonic distortion reminiscent of what is achieved on the Minimoog D doing the same thing.

ordered a Grandmother!

Congrats! :slight_smile:
Have you tried it?

nope- but it has everything I want/need, and I love that it can be overdriven- my Voyager OS is lovely but too big for small clubs and this is the 4th time I’ve had to service a broken feature- I’ve been limping along with a Minibrute for gigs- But the album for this particular band, I did all the parts on the Voyager, so I feel I’m doing a disservice to the songs- The growling Osc sync, etc, I’ll be able to easily achieve on this new one, and my back will appreciate the easier travel load… :wink: here’s that album, btw, if you’re curious- doing a vinyl release show soon, so thank heavens I’ll have a Moog for it! https://fauxkillasmusic.bandcamp.com/releases
