Moog Music Forum

Hi,

I'm hoping to received some guidance on connecting the Werkstatt to the SQ-1. I have the CV Expander but am a bit lost on the functions of the inputs on both machines.

Thanks.

Nothing...Ok.

i have not tried any of these because my focus has been elsewhere but here ya go! yeah internets... https://www.google.com/search?q=werksta ... 77&bih=859

Thanks but that was the first thing I tried.

You have both the werkstatt and sq-1 in your signature but you can't offer any guidance on how to connect the two?

Just someone trying to make some music and thought I'd maybe receive some help from a forum devoted to making music...

sorry, i kinda was a a-hole in that reply... most likely had a few that night when i posted. very sorry! but no i really don't have any additional insight with the werkstatt/ sq-1 together. i kinda abandoned the werkstatt after a point once my korg volca collection grew and have been distracted/ parenting ... now when i get a chance to play with my gear it is more jam out than technical and the werkstatt rarely gets a spot in the limelight. usually mom32 takes the lead. hope you find what you are looking for and if i figure something out i will share it on this thread

Thanks for the reply.

I have been looking into buying a Korg Volca. More than likely going for the beats and then the bass.

Where did you start with your collection?

having bought my first moog (moogerfooger 102 ring mod around 2010) the whole synth thing for me started around 2012 with the original monotron (originally a guitar player with too many delay/ looping and modulation pedals. then the duo and delay and the monotribe. i started the volca series with bass then beats shortly followed by the keys. i have them all except the new mixer thingy. they all have individually unique qualities. the beats is great i love the stutter function, except the snare is way too weak (i double it up with clap for more umph, there is a snare mod to make it more present, i probably will never do it). the sample is nice as a beats substitute, and insane with the level of destruction to an original sample to make a sound except it doesn't have the stutter function. the fm is awesome, deep and confusing but fun. the keys is nice. the bass is fun for that old school acid sound. the kick is also cool but i haven't explored that enough other than straight kick duties.
if you have the extra cash start with the monologue ( great bass plus sequencer) then the beats or sample for rhythms

sorry for the non-moog detour but somewhere between 2012-2016 i bought a lot of gear... moog and others

To anyone still interested in this combo, use patch cables to connect in the following locations:

SQ-1 WERKSTATT

CV OUT VCO EXP FM IN (J4)
GATE OUT VCA CV IN (J1)

Works using either A or B out for the SQ-1 and you can mix the two. Set the CV Range on the SQ-1 to 1V to begin, but you can use all of the settings. The WERKSTATT can be in almost any setting as well.

> GATE OUT VCA CV IN (J1)

Why put the two together? Nothing changes for me with or without connection.
Is it possible to get GATE to work in WERKSTATT-01 from SQ-1 with VCA in EG mode?
It works in VCA ON anyway with GATE's connected or without it.

Oops, sorry, it looks like it was an SQ-1 bug, after reboot GATE works as it should
