Hi,
Today I received my brand new Minimoog Model D. I tried to play it simultaneously in the same time both hands with Moog Sub37 and I noticed that I have to tune minimoog model d by using TUNE knob by 0,5 up.
It is not a big deal but how to tune minimoog model d? I want to have tune in 0 position and basic freq

How long did you let it warm up for? My Voyager XL needs at least 5 minutes before it is in tune with the Sub 37. The Sub 37 seems to be almost instantaneously in tune after powering on by comparison.

That's because Voyager has exponential v/oct VCOs and the sub 37/minitaur/sub phatty/T3 have linear v/hz VCOs.DeckardTrinity wrote:My Voyager XL needs at least 5 minutes before it is in tune with the Sub 37. The Sub 37 seems to be almost instantaneously in tune after powering on by comparison.
An expo VCO has components to perform the exponential conversion but because certain components are temperature sensitive they require a warmup period.
A linear VCO is the same thing with the elimination of the expo converter. That's why it doesn't need a warmup, but it isn't as flexible as the expo VCO.
There are expo VCOs that are REALLY good and don't need warmup. The ProSoloist is a rock solid albeit preset synth, and my OBX with discrete VCOs (and lemony fresh trimpots) is dead in tune on power up.

Thanks. I'm going to perform a tune test right now

Ok you are right, I was to fast. Now the oscillators pitch are stable and equal to normal frequency/ it is the same basic frequency in sub37,
Thanks for sharing your experience,
