Friends,
I have gotten alot of requests to do youtube videos, but I am not in a position where I can do a good one.
I have created a reverbnation account because I can do audio demos of whatever gear that I have.
If you are interested in buying some Moog products, and you are not sure how something would sound, or if you want to hear some demos of different products with Moog gear, then If I happen to have those products then I will see if I can provide them.

Are you looking to get a Voyager but you aren’t sure?
Thinking about a particular Fooger but wondering how it will do?
I would like to hear the freq box used as a 2nd vco with the micro. Osc out on freq to audio in on micro so that is goes through the micro filter. Both synced and slaved please. If you can do just raw oscillators not too much filtering or fm or anything that would be cool. Nice and simple. Thanks, I know I’ve been bugging you with this for awhile lol
Ill get right on that. THe Freq is HARD to track the Micro properly because the attenuation is so precise.
THe ringmod actually tracks better and easier in my experience.
I think that I can tell you right now that the SYNC doesn’t work like you would think unless you use its audio input. If you use a voltage then theres nothing to sync it to. THis has given me a few Ideas.
Maybe I can use the audio out of the micro to sync, but use the freq in to control it. HOpe I don’t blow anything up lol.
Really? do you have to use the cp-251 and the micro attenuator or just one of them?
oh yeah, i know that i just forgot to mention that in the intial post. the osc out/audio in was just for the slave set up.
i know once im able to hear an example of it, my itch for the freq/cp251 will be calmed down a little bit… and then it will come back even stronger. but hopefully ill have moneys by then
V,
The 1130 Percussion Controller just allows for types of attacks that aren’t possible on a keyboard. For Instance, you can’t imitate a 13 stroke snare roll with a keyboard and your fingers.
If you have stuff with fast attacks and a little slower on the decay it sounds like a laser war in space lol.
With adjustment of the scale knob, the harder the hit, the higher the voltage produced. If you use the drum like a ride cymbal then you can get something very very close to a walking bass line.
This is all best demonstrated in a video, rather than an audio demo, and theres a video of an 1130 controlling a modular here
C,
Ive still yet to figure out the attenuator. I really think that they were designed specifically for the 900 series modules. I mean, we know that the Micro is almost unique with its .95 voltage (please correct me if the decimal is wrong) so the attenuator was put there to enable the 921 series Oscs to track in reverse or in quartertones even. At least thats what the manual says.
The Cp251 is definately needed for attenuation though when I check this out tomorrow Ill see about that for certian. I set everything up but then my wife and I watched Godfather II so now we can go to bed lol.
Now I had to use the Cp251 Mixer going into the Micro and sometimes you can hear the fuzz generated by that. especially before and after the 1:13 mark. This was needed because a simple Osc out to the Audio in woudl have left the Freq dominating the Micro’s sound.
I SLaved the Freq the whole time It didn’t dawn on me to keep it entirely in the audio chain for sync. lol.
I tried different intervals and sample and hold and you can see that the Freq isn’t being modulated by anything but the keyboard. (Youd need the Mod Out cable to do that)
I tried to get different intervals and demonstrate phase cancellation and to see how fat I coudl get the bass. I didn’t mess with the waveshape of the Micro any during this recording.
At 3:20 you can hear me mess with the controls of the cp251 so you can hear the hiss associated with the mixer connection. A proper audio mixer module should be perfect.
Hope this inspires you to get these units and turn your Micro into a mini-multi.
I think if you had a lot of other stuff going on you probably woudln’t notice it.
Thats the first time I did the Freq directly as an end goal. MOst of the time I did both 107 and 102 into the mixer.
Its probably better to slave it. SInce i posted I kept it in the audio and I think that the freq is best turning other things into a synth rather than running a synth directly into it. But it did some cool effects through FM and envelopes.
Ive got some plans for some future videos, but one of them will be a single Osc comparison between the Voyager and the Micro.
THe thing is that I have to set up a PA speaker next to the camera because theres no Mic input. It really sucks and I don’t get a lot of opportunities to do one. And we didn’t have a PA system until very recently.
