Hi Mark,

Were you able to get this going? I don't recall seeing any replies to this. 
What kind of pedal is this (it might be worth NOT destroying, and just buying 
yourself a basic volume pedal)? In any event, if you can get something like 
5-10V to the tip of the input of a volume pedal and take the output to a CV 
input (the sleeves being at the respective grounds of course). Cinchy!

There  are 2 easy-to-find "expression" pedals: Roland EV-x series and Yamaha
FC-x.

These use TRS 1/4" plugs. In typical fashion, they are *not* pin-for-pin
compatible.

I plan a 1U "utility" module for interfacing either of these to MOTM
modules.

off to buy me a gee-tar...probably a Strat

The Yamaha FC-7 pedal is the one I use for ALL my control at gigs.  These
are great pedals that last forever.  And, they are completely rubber coated
-- no slip, no noise.  I use them mostly for volume control (MIDI-wise), so
they get bounced around quite a bit.  They have this cool feature that lets
you adjust the travel range for a standing or seated position.  They have a
nice long throw too.  HIGHLY recommended.

No fear... "The New Moog" (if you're speaking of Don Martin) is *gone*. 
He's in Chapter 13 now.

Can't you get expression pedals from Moog?  The Threamin Moog,  not the "new
Moog".

Gone, along with OU's Moog modular.......

(he wasn't actually _manufacturing_ those modules he was selling)

Okay, hang on folks...

The facts are...

   - Don had the OU Modular for almost four years.

   - There is a picture around from a Cincinnati users group meeting that
     shows some Martin modules in one of his cases. Some of those modules
     "look" older than the others.

     This meeting occurred after he took possession of the OU Moog.

   - Also in that picture is a Moog ribbon control of questionable heritage.


   - As part of the Chapter 13 property declaration Don lists basically
     NOTHING, with no explicit mention of the OU machine.

     In fact, most any property that he did own (including parts, soldering
     irons, office equipment, etc) is covered in a blurb that states most
     Moog Music property had been lost due to "theft, fire and/or flood".

     The interpretation of this is up to you.


In short... I personally know of no proof that Don ever sold off the OU Moog.

But, I know that OU's legal department is currently having a BITCH of a 
time getting any kind of information about their machine. Part of this 
though is the fault of the OU professor and the length of time it took to 
get the OU legal group involved.

Okay, I give up. What is "OU"?
