pot value on the standard moog expression pedal

Post by zerstorte zelle » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:32 pm

Just wondering what the correct pot value would be to affect the full range on the moogerfoogers? something like the frequency on the ring mod has a huge sweep.

any thoughts?

Which pot? If you are controlling something with an expression pedal (not the MP-201 Multi-Pedal), the pot whose function the voltage from the pedal is being sent to should be set at the minimum value you want (i.e. if you want the lowest frequency to be 1k and go up from there, set the pot at 1k). An expression pedal can send voltage that can control the parameter higher than the pot's range.
So this thing only plays one note?

sorry, poorly phrased.

I'm in the process of building some cv control interfaces and I was wondering what the pot values were in the typical expression pedals.

thanks for the reply and keep 'em coming.

The main expression pot is a 50k Linear Taper pot. I use 50 and 100k linear taper pots for my homemade device(s). :wink:
