Moog Model 15 with 904A, 904B & 904C...


video upload by noddyspuncture

"Messing with the 904C filter coupler I built a while back. The echo is courtesy of a Boss RPS-10 pitch shifter/delay. There is a (Hammond organ) reverb tank built into the Model 15 with a 905 circuit and it's turned up full - but as the decay time is so short you can't really hear it, it's just colouring the sound slightly...."

Moog Modular "Preset Box Working" Demo....


video upload by noddyspuncture

"Having built three of the ten cards and wired up their 'D' connecting harnesses I can now switch between four sounds.... four because the 'cancel' or 'panel' button strangely also make a nice sound..! This is quite strange because for the preset cards to work the EG, filter and footage setting have to be set a certain way. So here's my first time using the thing that I've been building for over a year now. I also added a section of a close up of one cards and I'm running through different settings and tweaking away so you get an idea of how it works."

Modular Moog Preset Box - demo of a few functions...


video upload by noddyspuncture

"So, basically having now built and interfaced everything with regards to the Moog Modular preset box - (except the preset cards and also the 901's, I'm still waiting on the FET from the USA for those...) - it occurred to me that I should maybe test out a few of the features. I could do that by replicating what a card would do... basically connecting points to ground and applying some voltages here and there so I picked the lines into the 921B oscillators which control the footages. I also picked one of the lines into the 921A controller for fine tune and then I found the two lines which control the mixer inputs I'm using. I fed a sawtooth from the first 921B osc and a triangle from the second into the mixer, The mixer control here is just on & off... or 'sounding' and 'muted'. The card will allow for in between, so voltage controlled 'mixing' will be possible. I used my little breadboard and pins to change the settings. The functions I'm not changing here are the filter cut-off, the resonance level and also none of the EG parameters. Adding those to this demo would have been too big a job and as I've already had problems with those bundles of wires shorting, it wasn't worth the risk..! And also as those are a massive part of the 'perceived effects' on a patch change this demo is quite a simple and basic one - just to confirm my wiring is 'something like' and also to give you an idea of what this thing will be doing."

The 'Keith Emerson' Moog 901 series oscillator and controller...


video upload by noddyspuncture

"Less than a year after Keith got his Moog Modular, Bob extensively modified his 901 series oscillators and oscillator controllers. He made them much more stable, solid and reliable tuning wise. There are drawings of schematics of his modifications, which are dated February 1971. I have built a 901A oscillator controller and also a 901B oscillator from these drawings and here is the first time I fired them up and got them to work. Initially they didn't work because I discovered that the FET transistor - which I had bought over a year ago and was still in it's 'anti-static' bag - was actually dead..! It probably originated from China...? I can't remember. Anyways, after installing a generic (the wrong) FET from my stock it all started making noises. Of course, being the wrong component it now won't calibrate according to the instructions but I did manage to tweak the calibration controls by ear to get it to play on one of the octave settings. When I manage to source a good FET of the correct type I'm sure it will all behave as intended - or at least I hope so...!"

Home-Brew Moog 904-b module - first test


Published on Jun 29, 2018 noddyspuncture

"Just testing the first of my 904-b H.P.F. builds - there was actually a problem with one of them - it wasn't passing audio but 'oscillating' with a low frequency 'thump' on the output. But changing a cap value fixed that. Strangely, the other one I built - exactly the same - didn't have that issue. Now both are working perfectly...! here I am triggering it with my 1125 S&H and also modulating it now and then with the 921's sawtooth from the aux output."

DIY 1125 Sample & Hold Build... Complete...!


Published on Jan 6, 2018 noddyspuncture

"My DIY sample & hold module - a Moog 1125 clone with some custom 'extras' - is now complete..! Here is a video I made of it - hooked up to one of my Minimoog's (the one I bought from 10cc) - before it takes it's place inside my Modular...!"

The Moog 1125 was actually a little desktop strip module as you can see here. This is a Moog 5U format port.

Moog 1125 Sample & Hold - home brew DIY...


Published on Dec 16, 2017 noddyspuncture

"So, here's the first video of my 1125 sample & hold module... I got it working today. Only using one channel of CV here, just the pitch for now. It's all working apart from the noise generator - the noise chip was getting warm so I removed it while I was debugging a few faults I had. One IC I used - the 3080 - was faulty and would you believe, a transistor array IC that I bought brand new had one transistor in it that was open circuit..!"

R.A.Moog 901b osc comparisons with hand-built unit...


Published on Feb 16, 2015 noddyspuncture

"Here is my *comparison video* comparing my own hand-built 901b with an original R.A.Moog oscillator. It also turned a demo of my Modular - explaining how my custom switching between mixer channels works. I'm really pleased with my home-built unit... for all intents and purposes, it sounds exactly like my other 901b oscillators... all four of which each have their own sound anyway..! See what you think..!? Sound is recorded direct from my live sub-mix set up."
