Minimoog Model D 2022 Reissue, Oscillator 2/3 semitone accuracy

Post by ethanraymusic » Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:14 am

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I purchased a new minimoog and have just been familiarizing myself with all its wonderful capabilities.

One thing I did notice is that on the tuning knobs for oscillators 2 & 3 the semitone tick marks are not accurate past 2 or 3 semitones either way. For example, while I would generally turn oscillator 2 7 semitones above oscillator 1 to get a perfect fifth, I'm actually having to turn it somewhere between 5 and 6.

I just wanted to confirm that this is normal behavior for the mini moog and not a matter of concern or an issue.

Would very much appreciate any wisdom that seasoned mini moog owners could offer!

I own two reissues and a 1979 version. The markings are not accurate on all three.
keep on turning these Moog knobs

Sequence:
Prodigy * minimoog '79 * Voyager * MF102 * MF103 * MF104z * MP201 * Taurus 3 * Minitaur * Sub Phatty * MF105 * Minimoog 2017+ MUSE * One 16
