Synth 1-3 / Timbres differences?
Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:00 am
Dear Moog community,
Finally I got this wonderful instrument at my place. Playing around with it I noticed something, which I hope, someone here has an explanation for. Here is, what I did:
Loaded a preset from the factory user space: "Melo D Kick"
Activated Synth 2 (which is empty)
Loaded Timbre 1 of "Melo D Kick" into Synth 2 (by pressing double Home and using the "Timbre1 -> Synth2 soft-button)
When I play Synth 2, it sounds very different to the original Synth 1 now.
Shouldn't they sound exactly the same? Okay, it's an analogue, so let's say: nearly the same?
Edit 1:
I found a few more presets with similar behaviour. Seems to me that the Master Effects Send Level is not a part of the Timbre. So after loading Timbre 1 to Synth 2, the Send Level has to be matched to the level of Synth 1 before comparing. Alternatively, switching off all effects does the same trick for this purpose.
btw: VCO tuning did not change anything.
All the best!
