Mother-32 drone mode in VCA Mode "ON" / Sine wave issue

[manick]

After more than once asking back, still no answer from Moog on this topic, unfortunately

I understand that NAMM is going on these days, and they show the Mother-32 there but don't seem to find time to support those who already bought it??

After all, I'm not the only one with this issue, and that lacking support doesn't make me feel like I bought a high quality product. They showcase it at NAMM, but I hope it is as reliable as they promise?? ...so far my experience was not as fortunate...

Did you ever sort this out? Mine is behaving the same as yours in the video.

No, I didn't. Finally I sent my unit to the seller to have a look at it. They found a setting where the sine patch worked as described, however the signal was still very weak, only about half as loud as the normal signal. They said that this was "normal analog behavior", so I had to accept that. I finally sold my unit to someone who had already another unit where the sine patch worked.

What is funny is that if you take the macprovideo course they say to get the sine wave patching with Ext Audio patched to nothing.

On mine, either way works, but to me if you can get the sine wave patching using the alternative way then do it that way. The key to see if VCF out is working at all is to patch it into another area as well to troubleshoot it. For example patch it into Mix 1 or Mix 2. If you get nothing then, it's a sign that VCF out isn't working.

My question is sort of on topic and could very well be stupid. But I get an extremely close (sounding) sine wave just from my pulse setting to mid and Cuttoff at 11:00 o clock and resonance at max under low pass settings. AM I supposed to get that? In other words I don't know why I need this sine patch anyway if I'm getting it with these filter setting of which needs to stay fixed anyway if you are using the filter to get a tuned sine wave.

Wow, just an update,,, I just watched the macprovideo again and he literally stops himself from doing it the way the book describes and just keeps the ext. audio patched to nothing.
