You guys crack me up. Moog is spending money on R&D to develop this and you are trying to get them to give you instructions for you how to do it . . . for free . . . before they've made a cent off of modifying customer's LPs.Voltor07 wrote:I e-mailed Amos this morning regarding the DIY instructions, and he told me that he doesn't have time to work on that yet.

Bryan, I understand what you're saying. But it's not really going to be 100% free, is it? Moog will still need to sell me the buffer board Amos talked about in a previous post on this thread.Bryan T wrote:You guys crack me up.

I think Amos has more tact than I would.
I could say something funny here, but, um, yes.sine wrote:Did you mean Filter Envelope?Amos wrote:Pitch Envelope out
When you put it that way, yes, that is a reasonable thing. I was just remembering when I purchased the Stage II side panel for my Stage I. I'd be willing to buy ALL the parts from Moog, if need be. I just hate to be without my LP while it's in the shop, otherwise I'd send it in now. You could always charge $85 for the DIY instructions. Like, have a booklet that explains how to hook up each CV out. I'd be willing to pay that.Amos wrote: Voltor, I think the guys do have a point here... we are working hard to come up with this mod for two reasons: one is to make the LP an even cooler synthesizer, and the other is to make some extra income for Moog in these difficult economic times. So, it makes sense we should offer this modification for sale to paying customers for a while before we release the DIY instructions, don't you think?
Thanks,
Amos

well in that case we can look for another alternative, my soldering experience equals 0It is fundamentally not easy to install unless you have experience soldering to surface-mount electronics, and also some machining and shop skills and tools.
well this maybe an alternative for me, Argentina is not that far and maybe i can find a friend of a friend who could help me, two questions (and this is the end of the hijackWe do not have very many distributors in South America, but we have an excellent service center in Argentina, for example.

I have to send phatty in for blown LED anyway...Amos wrote:Hi all,
We're always working on something new here in the Moog Lab,
and one idea that we've been talking about recently is how cool it would be to have some control voltage outputs from the Little Phatty. That would make it the perfect little controller for your modular gear, Moogerfoogers, and more! Not to mention, it would open up a host of possibilities for patching modulations back and forth between the Voyager and the LP.
So, it will take some R&D work to make this idea a reality. One thing that would be very useful would be to know how many people would be willing to send in their LP and pay for this upgrade.
The final feature set has not been established yet, but I'm thinking that the essential CV outputs to have would be Pitch-CV, KB Gate, Mod Wheel, and LFO output. Outputs would be on 1/4" jacks. The best place to put these jacks is probably on the front edge of the left-hand controller (the vertical surface, where it won't get in the way of your left hand).
If this is something you would definitely go for, please email amos a.t moogmusic d.o.t c.o.m and let me know! I will need your name and contact info, and then I can get in touch with you once this modification is ready to go.
Pricing will be determined by how much work is involved in doing the mod, but if you want to you can also let me know what you think a fair price for this extra feature set would be.
Also, if there are any other output signals that you thing are absolutely essential to have, please let me know; you can use this thread for further discussion of this idea.
Thanks for your help in continuing to make the Little Phatty the coolest little monosynth on the planet.
Kind regards,
Amos
The mod will include Pitch and Gate out. Since the internal oscillators and envelopes of the LP are being controlled by this same Pitch and Gate CV, I have to assume that when the arpeggiator is turned on, it will be sending CV to the Pitch and Gate jacks included in the mod. I may be wrong of course.EricK wrote:Is there ANY way to take something that is inherantly in the software and turn it into a Voltage Output like say...
Arpeggiator Out?
