Fwd: [sdiy] Fwd: MOOG PRODIGY calibration

[Diogo Melo]

hi harry!

About the moog: he works well but it needs calibration because the pitch
tracking is not fully accurate, so the first thing i tried to test was the
voltage across an octave. This voltage was about 30/40mV (i don't actually
recall the correct value but it's around those voltages).

And the keys do an electronic noise (much like the hammond B3 click, but in
this case it's really a synth needing some mantinence), I'm not refering to
the physical noise of the keys.

And another thing  me and heitor are portuguese :)


happy new year to you all

diogo
