Mother-32 tempo issue

Post by Elektrolurch » Sat Apr 29, 2023 6:19 am

Hey everyone,

It seems like I changed some setting on my Moog Mother 32. The default BPM-range of the tempo-knob is faster than it used to be.

It would seem like this "fast BMP-range" is just the default setting. But all the instructional videos, demos, etc. show something different: When a pattern is resetted there, the tempo also switches back, but to a much slower "default" tempo setting, compared to the "default" tempo setting on my Mother 32.

I put together a short video to illustrate the issue I am dealing with: https://youtu.be/WmgcdxAUkQs

Although the tempo-knob is at the same position, the bpm seems to be almost twice the speed, when compared to other mother-32 models with exactly the same settings.
If I, for example, want to exactly recreate the steps in the "Mother-32 | Sequencer Basics"-Video from the official Moog Music Inc Youtube channel, this is not possible without changing the position of the tempo-knob to a different position than in the video.
I would like to get the same "default-tempo" when resetting a pattern. And it seems like this should be the "default-tempo", after all it is in all of the official tutorials.

Thanks!

Check in the official manual addendum under "NEW CLOCK DIVISIONS ADDED". It looks like this feature can affect the tempo range.

I don't have a mother32 (yet) to verify.
