Hi, Tim. I owned a Micromoog for many years, but haven't had one for
over ten years now, so forgive me if my recollection is not perfect.
As I recall, the Micromoog had control voltage inputs. The idea is
that you insert a control voltage of between 0 and 10 volts to the
input jack to control the VCF. You can get the control voltage from a
modular synthesizer module such as an LFO or an envelope generator,
or from some other control voltage source, such as a control volktage
pedal.
Although Moog used to make control voltage pedals, good luck finding
one now. Inserting a modern synthesizer pedal will not work. the
Polymoog Polypedals occassionally come up for sale, but they are
optimized for the Polymoog and use the Polymoog as a power source, so
they would require some modification to use with the Micromoog.
If you have some electrical knowledge, you could wire up a volume
pedal so that it functions as a control voltage pedal. This would
consist of taking a +10 volt power source and wiring it to the two
ends of a potentiometer and then taking the voltage from the wiper to
send to the synth.

regarding my micromoog. There are several different controller jacks
on the back of the keyboard and I was curious if these were for some
type of external controller (foot switch, expression pedal etc.)?
There is a jack for each module. I have played around with several
different pedals to see what these do but have had not luck. Does
anyone know if Moog made a special pedal for this and if so how can I
get one? Maybe I am just crazy but that is part for the course.
Thanks for your time.
