Re: [xpantastic] Re: Faster envelopes on Matrix 12/Xpander - Conversation with one of the designers

Hi !
Are you the one I see in the musicplayerforums too ... ? :-)

Would be a great idea to ask this tech for a sync-mod being controlled by a Moog Model 1120 CV pedal.

NOT the wheel and NOT the envelope as control-sources for the pitch of the synced OSC,- just only the pedal.
OSC 2 synced to OSC 1
sync-sweep-control source (pedal) switchable off/on, sync function switchable off/on (both maybe by footswitches)
OSC pitch-reset to keyboard voltage only if pedal as a control source is defeated by the switch.

We had a sync function in our "Midimuck" ( = racked Minimoog) in 1989, http://www.synrise.de/docs/types/m/midimuck.htm-
This could be controlled by Midi CC #4,- but w/ a real mini it has to be a CV pedal.

I only have a fronpanel of the Midimuck left over unfortunally. The tech from the past is unavailable and I cannot find the hand drawn schematics.
There is probably 1 prototype working in a studio,- I´ll ask the owner if the machine is there or trashed meanwhile, if not, if it´s working and if I can have a look into it. It was done w/ original Minimoog circuit boards.

B.t.w., - I had such a mod also for the Prophet 5 in the 80th/90th,- CV-pedal controlled the sync via the polymod and was switchable too.
Was another story because of bypassing the Z80 proc and cutting lanes ond so on ...

let me know please

good luck

Hi PeWe,

My problem is that I´m not a tech by far, but get cool ideas all the
time...
I got in touch with a tech here in Sweden the other day.


I can ask him about the Pedal/Modwheel controlling the sync if you
want.



Cheers
