I just bought a Mini Moog Model D, circa 1972, and I have noticed that it seems to give off a loud hum when attached to my computer recording device. To explain in more detail, I use a Audigy Soundblaster recorder, that when hooked to the mixer without the Moog being plugged in, no hum. Hook up the Moog, you get hum, unplug the Moog, no hum. Now plug in the Moog, unplug the computer output leads, no hum. Does the Moog need a ground wire of some sort? I've used all sorts of weird electronic equipment in the same way I'm trying to use my Mini and have never encountered any problems. I can still record, but the chances of any sort of low volume recording is out of the question. Anybody encounterd this before? Oh yeah, I tried all the usual things, switched to low from high output on the synth, tried changing the power plug order,ect. I even tried a different mixer, but it always has this very audible hum, even when it's off. But as I said, without the computer hookup, it works fine, no problems at all. I'm flumoxed at what it could be....

moog ground problem?
Hi! Thanks for your help. I have to admit I'm not sure what a lift ground is. Is it taking the cover off the cable and clipping the ground wire inside? I've asked several people about it, and they all looked at me like a dog being shown a card trick. Any futher details you could give would be great, as it certainly seems like I have no idea of what to do next.
Thanks again!
