Won't work from a Korg - Korgs are Hz per octave and Moogs are volts
per octave, so you've got the wrong control voltage coming in to the
CV.

Also, Moogs use a sort of inverse trigger, (S-Trig) so they respond to
the gate/trigger differently.

I did once link up a prodigy to "play" from a Roland SH101. It did
work, but was not entirely satisfactory.

If you have a decent MIDI-CV interface box, it should allow you to
select CV and trigger type.
