analogue trigger Moog: like some korgs (MS20) and EDP (wasp) – ‚S-Trig‘ (Moog Type) – Kurzschlusstrigger = to GND = shorting connection.

ALL MOOG MODULES | CLOSEUPS ..of some moog modules and moog-alikes here!! |
From Clones to Original Moogs – there have been quite a lot of moog modulars over time:
top luxury of course is the moog system 55. most important thing: the moogs use 1V/Oct. CV and SWITCHED TRIGGER. the moogs used one kind of plugs for ENV triggering and VCO waveform restart: | more? click on the pic.. |
Moog 35/55 + 10+15 synthesizer system – THE ORIGINALS:MOOG 35 / Moog 55 the lower 2 cabinets are one of 2 existing complete ppg modulars!!! owner is bernie of aliens-project!! he played this one on out elektro waves 2001 festival of course the keyboards wasn’t used live ;-) Dashier ist ein Moog 35 in sehr gutem Zustand.. Eigner ist Bernie (aliens-project.de), der im Rahmen unserer Netzwerke dieses Monster am 14.9.01 live gespielt hat.. Die unteren beiden sind eine noch grössere Rarität: PPG Modular! zusammen hat diese Kiste 21 OSCs!! ;-)) Die Tastatur wurde natürlich live nicht benutzt! ;-) inzwischen ist er noch grösse, schaut auch das aber besser mal auf der site von aliens-project.de aka bernie an.. HERE IS A MOVIE / HIER IST EIN FILM von diesem SYNTH/of this Synth!!!! NEW MINI MOVIE @ elektro-kartell party 2004: Info über den Gig gibts im forum / www.consequence.info und elektro-kartell.de this system ist now extened, so both „towers“ are the same height. moog, ppg and synthesizers.com modules inside. I compared the minimoog to my moog modular system and the result is: it is very close – it’s only minimal more warmth in the modular, so imagine the first mini prototype as the 904 filter (a) LPF, 2 simplified ENVs and 3 OSCs with mixer. no lfo. use an osc as lfo mini synthesizer ;). if you need switched trigger and want to midify it: try to use voltage trigger= 0 v and 8-10V as „sitched“ trigger for moog. it works on prodigy and others.. may work!.. try the doepfer mvc4 or other cheap midi interfaces.. this is 3 vinyl cabinets like 3 moog 10 or moog 15 some systems were sold as 3P etc.. | these are the originals -see the mechanical and metal side panels of each module? – the CP section on the bottom and the original setup of the systems.. the moog series 10 and 15 are simply one vinyl cabinet, the keyboard also looks different than those 35 / 55 wooden keyboards

ALTERNATIVES 2 / CLONESSYNTHESIZERS.COM modules compared to moog originals a substitute for moog? any one?..the pic above shows the synth.com sequencer, 2 VCOs and VCF. they sound very well together.. ok, on the pic it’s still missing.. see the newer pictures: MODULES Another Alternative those days were /was the | well, there ARE some: I had very good experience with SYNTHESIZERS.COM modules from roger arrick. you need to order in the USA, so for european ppl consider 23% to add to the price to get it. anyway: for what you get over here? doepfer? well, they have lots of modules! but the sound quality can not be compared to the synthesizers.com ’s fatness. it is really a good idea,if you do not want to get poor just because you want it analogue and modular.. ;) almost any others are more expensive.. and: some are quite good, my experience with synthesizers.com modules are very good. I can recommend filters, since the moog system does NOT offer HPFs with resonance and no real 12dB/oct stuff.. sounds good. also the VCOS with sofsync seem to work fine with the moog..both are quite „conversvative“, so do not expect highly integrated modules like wiard systems etc.. but they sound very good and it’s sonic range is wide!! here is the Moog 960 Sequencer clone by Synthesizers.com , anyone who always wanted a moog, should consider synth.com as an alternative, the dot com system sounds really good and to quite „close“, the Moog VCOs are a bit, hmm.. more „round“, so to speak.. and ppg modular sounds a bit more rough, the dotcom is somewhere in between. looks like a Moog? it’s a dot.com sequencer.. |
Moog Bode Shifter – a clone..a special pitch shifter.. like on lipps inc.’s „funkytown“ (the voice, not the vocoder!) is done with one.. well, here is a cloner COTK aka click the pic to enlarge.. but sounds nice.. another recommended „cloner“ is synthesizers.com .. | |
Moog vs. Alesis Andromeda | compared.. |
Andromeda vs. Moog. here david vs. goliath ;) but: the andro has the same filters! (904 MODULE) I compared the minimoog to my moog modular system and the result is: it is very close – it’s only minimal more warmth in the modular, so imagine the first mini prototype as the 904 filter (a) LPF, 2 simplified ENVs and 3 OSCs with mixer. no lfo. use an osc as lfo mini synthesizer ;). | |
MOOG SERVICE & repair there are 2 very good tech heads: Italy: BASS KONZEPT STUDIOS | more in the ppg / moog section here: Moog & PPG this is also a reference: moogMODULES there are some freaky ppl out there: the waveterm C is a pc-project porting the waveterm 1 and b to hard/software! check their site (paul maddox,dave forward, hermann seib) http://www.waveterm.com/ |
