Moog Sub Phatty OSC 1&2 Pulse Wave - No Sound
Moog Sub Phatty OSC 1&2 Pulse Wave - No Sound
Hi everyone,
I've noticed recently on my Moog Sub Phatty that when I turn either the OSC1 or OSC2 Wave Knob past 4:00 or to the Pulse Wave Position, the sound cuts out. The Sub OSC works, but not OSC 1 or 2. This happens on all presets or when I initialize my settings. When I turn slowly towards the end of the Square, the sound start to cut out. I've checked the envelopes and LFO sections and they appear to be ok, meaning I'm not doing anything odd to the settings, at least knowingly. I've read this could be a knob calibration issue, but am not sure. My firmware is on v2.0.6 which I believe is the latest. Any ideas on what I could do to get the Pulse Wave to sound? Note I'm not sure it actually worked from the beginning so I can't verify if I had it and then lost it. Thanks very much.
Jim

Could be a calibration issue. The sound *will* disappear at some point as the pulse gets too thin, but four o'clock seems early. A quick email to Moog support might help.

Just an update:
Andy sent me some files to calibrate the knobs but this in the end this didn't fix my issue described above. I'm now waiting for an additional calibration procedure that may work. Andy mentioned the following: "may be an additional calibration we can do that sets the base width of the square wave". Once I run that, I'll update this post with the results. Both of my OSC 1 and 2 knobs are cutting out at the 3:00 to 4:00 area. I have no idea what is causing this problem, but hopefully I'll have it solved soon. Thanks.

Here is a try: a constant modulation (e.g. ON or full sustain envelope...) is applied to your waveshapes.
Just a try, huh?

Hi everyone,
Andy sent another email today with new instructions on how to fix my problem. I'm very happy to report that my issue is now fixed. I am not sure I completely understand the technical aspects of the procedure, but basically I was able to re-calibrate the OSC 1 and 2 knobs to cut the pulse wave where I wanted which was when the kobs were set to completely to the right. I can now turn the knobs complete and have all of the wavs calibrated or set up nicely. I'm not sure how the Pulse wave drifted in the first place, but I can now align it where I want which is fantastic. Thank you Andy!!
I also must say that the support by Andy and Moog has been fantastic. I greatly appreciate it.

Can you post the instructions here, so when someone in the future has the same problem, also have the solution?

That was exactly my question as wel.

Hi everyone,
Here are the instructions that were sent to me today. Note that you can mess up your settings if you don't follow the directions carefully when entering this mode apparently.
********************************************************

********************************************************
***********************To Enter Super Secret Test Mode
1) Press BANK 1,2,3 buttons. Hold BANK 4 button while pressing ACTIVATE PANEL.
2) Repeat. (again, press BANK 1,2,3 buttons so they light up, then hold BANK 4 while pressing ACTIVATE PANEL)
you should see all the bank/patch buttons glow for an instant and fade out in a distinctive way; this indicates that you are in the hidden calibration mode. Be careful while in this mode as you can alter factory calibration settings・although you are safe as long as none of the bank/patch buttons are lit. To prevent unintentional calibration changes, each calibration requires that certain of the bank or patch buttons be lit in order to do the calibration.
WAVE KNOB CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) To calibrate the OSC1 wave knob, press to light up the patch 1 button, then turn the osc 1 wave knob to set the skinniest pulse wave you want to put at the maximum wave knob position・
2) Turn off the PATCH 1 button to make sure you don't disturb this setting (this completes the calibration).
3) To calibrate the OSC2 wave knob, press to light up the patch 2 button, then turn the osc 2 wave knob to set the skinniest pulse wave you want to put at the maximum wave knob position.
4) Now turn off the PATCH 2 button to complete this calibration.
5) Press and hold the ACTIVATE PANEL button for 1 second to exit double extra secret calibration mode.
Note: Solo The Oscillator in the mixer (with the filter all the way open) and turn the osc1(or OSC 2 depending on which you are calibrating) wave knob until you hear the skinniest pulse wave that you want to hear when the wave pot is at maximum.
Re: Moog Sub Phatty OSC 1&2 Pulse Wave - No Sound
I have tried to enter in Super secret mode, but there are something I'm doing bad....
The sequence is: BANK+1+2+3 all togheter or Bank+1 then bank+2, etc?
Can you explaing how do you do?

Anybody knows how to enter in Secret Menu Mode?
I need adjust last Wave Form range.

Hi, I've got the exact same problem, when you say turn the osc knob to set the skinniest pulsewave you want, do you mean that you just set it by ear?Ricoche wrote:Hi everyone,
