"Here is the video of my very first Moog 1130 Percussion Controller test after restoring it and putting it into a playing condition. There were a lot of part missing when I got this, mainly hardware - luckily, when I eventually fired it all up, the main circuit board was functioning as it should. There's still a bit to do - and I have installed a temporary switch that changes over or 'flips' the two CV outputs to the pitch & filter. You can see me using it from time to time. The 1130 controller basically has two CV outputs - one is fixed at full level and the other is controllable via a potentiometer. It occurred to me that it might be an interesting modification to be able to flip that over at will, instead of swapping the jack plugs. In this video I am controlling both my Modular and the built-in Minimoog. I am still trying to decide if I want to drill a hole and fit it permanently...!? I think I might - I do like to modify all my gear. I also recorded the audio directly but couldn't sync it up with this video so all we have here is the crappy camera microphone.
