Moog Music Forum

Just wanted to post an update to this story…the Memorymoog arrived in its new home in Albuquerque, NM this week, underwent a cleaning and restoral of patches (Factory Bank 2, plus my own tweaks) and is now installed nicely on a stand under its new neighbor, a Voyager Select Maple Jade, for seven voices of heaven The MM's MIDI gives me note-on/off and patch change, which is plenty good enough for rock 'n roll, and for now...

Rounding out the ensemble here, are a DSI PolyEvolver Rack, a Roland V-Synth ('Angelmuse', the custom white instrument used on Madonna's 2004 tour), a late-model Oberheim OB-8 (I kept it after all, I love it - Rev B5, factory MIDI) and a Roland Jupiter-8 (DCB, with a Kenton DCB-MIDI converter that lets me syncs the arpeggiator clock, for added goodness). This rig all came together from 2007-9, with special thanks to Billy Richardson, Ron Sunsinger and of course, Chris.

A couple of questions: is it possible to disable an individual voice, and run the MM as a 5-voice until I can perform (or hire someone to perform) a proper calibration? Also - the fan noise, is significant. I know that's one of the MM's charming natural qualities (I've owned two others in my life) but is there a friendly way to minimize this?

Cheers to Chris and to all,

From the Keypad press C4, then enter, it will then ask which vocie card you want to dissable. You need to do this each time you power up.

Enjoy

That did the trick - thank you!!

No problem at all.

Howdy!
I'm not yet sure what I'm gonna ask for my MemoryMoog. NO MIDI.
I'm the original owner, I bought it new in 1982.

Its working great. Everything works perfectly. Tunes up perfectly. No MIDI.

But I sent it to the shop (Advanced Electronics) just to be checked out ... so that I, and any future buyer, will know its all working great!
It will be back home in a week or two.
Then I'll know more about what price I'm asking.

So how much would one (MM+) be worth today?

Depends on the condition. I've seen non-functional ones on E-Bay starting at $1000. Sometimes, the last bid on those is $2000. I've seen fully functional MM+'s go for $5500 or more. The most expensive I've seen was an auction with 16 bidders which closed at $10k.
