Moog 912 Envelope Follower - Modified....

video upload by noddyspuncture

"After finally getting my R.A.Moog 912 Envelope Follower working and calibrated recently, it was pointed out to me that it only 'swept' downwards. Good point... in it's standard form the CV it outputs, according to the level on it's input, always peaks high and then drops low. So I thought it would be an interesting project to modify it and have it be able to sweep both down and up. After building an op-amp circuit and testing it I replaced the 'threshold' pot with one of those push/pull guitar pots which has a built in switch - when pulled out it switches to the new 'sweep up' mode. I also installed an 'off-set' pot so I can alter the sweep 'window' for the new mode, which seems quite useful too...! Triggering from a drum machine for this demo and the CV out is patched to both pitch & filter."

Moog Model 15 - dual CV & Trig demo...

video upload by noddyspuncture

"I patched the 953 CV and triggers 1&2 to two separate channels.

CV/trig 2 go to the 921 oscillator and the second VCA and third EG (which I built) combination. Without the third EG it could still be done but I wouldn't be getting the filter envelope on the CV 1 channel.

I'm using a Sine out from the 921 and only "2nd notes" after the 1st is held are play the Sine."

Moog Model 15 - 16 note sequence with Micro Korg...

"I thought I'd try a sequence that I could play along to... so I dug out my little Micro Korg. I think it was quite at home next to the Moog..."

Moog Model 15 - 8 note sequence...

video upload by noddyspuncture

"Through a Boss RPS-10 and an Akai EX90R reverb. Using my new 'Keith Emerson Custom 901A/B Osc & Controller' for the third set on this one. It's the one I change octaves on..."

Korg Delta & Yamaha SY 2

video upload by noddyspuncture

"The Delta is running through a Yamaha SPX90 'Symphonic Chorus' patch and the SY-2 is running through a Roland DEP5 'Repeat Echo' patch - panned to one side. Both are also running through the reverb on the Alesis mixer."

CS80 1, 2 & 3 & a KORG MS20 MS10 Frankensynth

video upload by noddyspuncture

"CS80 #2 just lost a voice yesterday. I 'scoped the triggering section on the KAS board and as I suspected, one of the associated 4050 IC's has gone bad. These IC's are original - nearly 50 years old - so they could do with changing anyway. The last problem I had on CS80 #2 was also a 4000 series IC on one of the the aftertouch boards. One went bad and I then changed them all... so I might as well change both of these while I'm at it. So, I thought I'd show you CS80's 1&3 as well while I had the camera out..."

Minimoog - Expo and Lin Glide Comparison...

video upload by noddyspuncture

"Having installed one of my Minimoogs into my R.A.Modular (which has some modules dating back to 1967..! 😲 ) I also added a couple of switches which can switch it between the Modular's 950 keyboard circuit or it's own in-built keyboard circuit. This was just in case, when using it 'live' something occurred which meant I couldn't use the Modular - for example if the Modular's power supply malfunctioned. And with that pairing the glide function comes into play. The Minimoog's internal glide is linear whereas the 950 keyboard's is exponential. It just occurreed to me that I could make a video comparing the two... so here it is."
