Midge Ure's Minimoog
I put up a post on this video of Midge (Ultravox) talking about the Minimoog back in August. What I didn't notice was the green led readout above the Mixer section or the rectangle on the left (picture below). Anyone know what these are?

Probably a little LCD readout reminding Mr. Ure that John Foxx was a much better front man.
ReplyDeleteWarren Cann has talked about many modifications to UVox's gear - the readout might be his 'voltage' mod they used to calculate tempos...
ReplyDeleteHe said they did that to Roland CR-78's as well.
Yeah, Warren Cann's tech was a bit of an early circuit bender. But yeah, the LED readout was a digital volt meter displaying the voltage going to the LFO = tempo.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Flux Capacitor quick-access slot.
ReplyDeleteOn these old babies, sometimes the Flux Capacitors leak, so you need to replace them or you'll permanently be stuck in the 70's.
It's a testament to Moog's engineering prowess that he managed to get a Flux Capacitor working at regular analog voltages instead of the usual 1.21 Gigawatts.
