Moog Music Forum

Hey there Moog brothers and sisters. Any advice / starting point for a modular nube? I have lots of synths and experience with some semi-modular but dipping into modular intrigues me. Considering seeing about getting my hands on a model 10 - thoughts or advice?

Thanks!

In case of model 10: for integration purposes a MIDI2CVGATE interface could be useful, and a V => S - trigger converter, if not already present. Afaik this is not included.

Will my voyager performer do the trick as a controller?

If it provides CV out and S-TRIG out...

Well I pulled the trigger on the Model 10. I have until October / November before I receive it so have a while to figure out how I'm going to connect it to my Voyager. Excited - can't wait!

Wow!!

Congratulations!

Do you have the VX-351 CV expander with your Voyager? If so with a CP-251 or equivalent type inverter/attenuverter type function you can invert the keyboard gate signal

Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. So IF I'm understanding things properly, I've decided to go 1 of 2 ways and would love anyones input.

I own a Voyager Performer so;

Voyager Performer
VX-351 (if I can find one)
QMVS-48 Moog Voltage to Switch Trigger Cable

Or

Grandmother
QMVS-48 Moog Voltage to Switch Trigger Cable with a 1/4" to 3.5mil adapter
And a bunch of 3.5mil to 1/4" cables

I'm leaning towards the Grandmother (somewhat 'cause then I get to buy another synth . but is too bad about the 3.5mil format on the GM.

Thanks again for suggestions.

You could also build ( or buy, dotcom sells them ) 1/4" to 1/8" jack converter panels, to interface signals between the two. Might be easier than keeping track of adaptor cables?

Cool idea - thanks ummagumma.

A few years ago I built this portable utility box from the aforementioned Dotcom jack converter panel and a signal selector panel. Comes in very handy to patch the two different connection types:

Panels are available from Synthesizers.com here:

The Voyager is the better option as the controller. Get one of those Kenton Midi-CV converters. There are VX units available but Fooger prices have been nuts over the last few months. Reverb seems to enjoy artificially inflating the price.

Thanks guys for the tips. I'll keep an eye out for a PRO-2000 MkII. Doesn't seem to be stock anywhere but I have time.

Hi TheDigitalMan,

I connect my Moog Model 10 via a Kenton Pro-2000 and a pair of Synthesizers.com active V-trig to S-trig cables.

Works a treat with my MIDI keyboard.

Using a Kenton Pro-2000 allows the Moog Model 10 to function as a 3 oscillator synthesiser if required.

Hi all, quick follow to this. Took almost a year for my M10 to arrive (SN 85) and have it set up with my mother 32 as a CV controller using a QMVS-48 cable. I can use the on board sequencer on the M32 or via midi. So far so good and super fun
