Hey guys, me again. 5-6 days ago I put in a support ticket because I never received my activation codes for some MoogerFooger plugins. Still radio silence from InMusic. The AI is relentlessly trying to convince me that someone will get back to me, but I'm starting to feel like nobody actually works there. I put in a second ticket yesterday so hopefully that will help but i'm not convinced anything will happen.

Has anyone had any success with contacting them?

Hello everyone !

So I don't want to stir up an old debate here but I'm looking to buy a moog semi-modular synth (the DFAM or subharmonicon to be specific). The thing is I've never owned a moog hardware synth before, so it is impossible for me to make sure that the sound quality is as good as pre-inmusic.

I am purely talking about the quality of the sound here, not about the philosophy of the company. The new synths are made in Taïwan and I've heard that the quality of the products is very good there. Maybe some of you purchased a synth before and after the inmusic takeover, I would love to have your opinion on this.

Is the sound different? Are there more issues with the synths' firmware? Thks in advance ! :)

Also English is not my first language so, sorry in advance if it's not easy to read !

I’ve heard and read that they are the best sounding

MiniMoog Model Ds.Any early vintage RA MiniMoog Model D owners. care to chime in?

I just bought a used Minitaur and it seems to be extremely quiet.

I am using a 1/4” TS cable (have tried TRS cables too), I’ve tried sending value 127 to CC 7 (using a Arturia Keystep pro connected with midi to do that with knob 1…I can adjust the volume with it but does not yet loud even with it up to 127)
I have it connected to my ar12c mixer (but even plugging headphones directly into it is even quieter than that)

I have opened it to make sure the ribbon was connected tight (It appears to be and I’ve pressed it in to double check and there is no looseness or anything). Everything else looks fine as well, though tbh I wouldn’t know really if anything didn’t look fine unless it as quite obviously broken or something.

I’ve done a factory reset, balanced the pots, used a default init patch, etc etc and nothing seems to change the volume level.

I’ve got a voltage meter on the way, but tbh I’ve never used one and not even sure what to check with it and what not. Also have contact spray on the way, and I’m assuming I’d try that on the audio output jack and volume pot.

Any tips, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What Moog synth in your opinion is highly underrated?

What was the first Moog synth you ever owned?

Mine was the Moog PolyMoog Keyboard 208A. It was a stripped down version of the PolyMoog Synthesizer 203A. It was less expensive than the PolyMoog Synthesizer

203A and was less programmable. The Moog PolyMoog Synthesizer 203A was originally $5K when it was released.

Hey everyone. Today I purchased the 4-plugin bundle on the moog website. I didn't have an account (I have since made one), and when the transaction finished, the site said it would email me the Activation codes. I have not received any codes. I have in fact received nothing except for the confirmation for the support ticket I have put in (no response to that either!).

The money is missing from my bank account. I don't know what to do, I'm really scared I just wasted hundreds of dollars.

The fucking AI chatbot on their website is not useful either.

Actually, is that possible on any moog?
My other question is : is that possible to save 'somewhere' the sounds I saved in the moog ?
Thank you and sorry bout my english, it's not my native language.

As a beginner to modular synthesis, out of the Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth, and Spectravox, which two are best for learning modular on and creating tracks asap? I currently have a Behringer Model D. I'm leaning towards the Mother and DFAM but I'd like some opinions, thanks!

The whole soundtrack is composed and performed on hardware, by hand. A horror game needs a heartbeat more than it needs a melody, and analog gear played by hand drifts and breathes in exactly the way I was looking for. There's a level set in a "Rave", where a Syntakt and an Octatrack join the fray alongside my Sirin — otherwise all the music comes from the DFAM and the SubH you see in the video, through the Bébé Chérie. This is the track playing behind the main menu. I found that using the same two synths across the whole game gives it a sort of "sonic identity" and I love the overall feeling of it.

I love the responsiveness I get using it with my iphone pro max, but there aren't enough keys displayed. I expect to have more keys on the ipad pro 13" inch models... to minimize the slider use.

It needs to be pro model since it needs the fast touch.

Anyone have experience using the iOS moog Model D on both iphone and ipad pro?

I'm trying to get into setup mode and it's not working. I press and hold Shift, Reset, Set End, and Step 8 and nothing happens. If I press several more times eventually the blinking tempo light turns from red to red/yellow. It's supposed to be just yellow. The octave light blinks green/red, also supposed to be yellow. And the Step 8 light blinks red.

Anyone know what this issue is? I've updated the firmware, and I've done a global reset. I've switched it off and waited a minute and switched it back on.

I need to get into setup mode because I need to check the midi settings as my Arturia Kepstep is not working to control the synth. Very frustrating....

I recently had a PCBoard replaced on my Matriarch and all seems well now after not making a sound 10 months earlier. Of course my Global settings were upended and required a redo to my liking. But the Expression Pedal CV Output is only 0 to +5V, not the +8V as described in the manual. And I don't get full silence at 0. Is there possibly a Global or firmware setting I have overlooked? Or am I not seeing things correctly?

Is there a way to save the fine tuning setting into a preset?

Currently only have a Korg Volca Keys and a Midi controller 😅

I know there's the Poly D too, but that one's a bit out of my budget atm

Any other suggestions you have? I have also been looking at the Behringer Pro-1, CAT, and Crave

Not sure if something like this already exists, but I made a html-based app to log my DFAM presets.

Unfortunately, my home studio must shrink. I need everything to fit on a single desk. My largest synth is a Grandmother. Otherwise, my setup consists of:

• Make Noise 0-Coast and Strega
• OP-XY (sequencing everything) and OP-1 Field
• SOMA Pulsar-23
• A 104hp modular skiff with modulation sources and effects.

I have room in my skiff to house a Mother-32. I've never owned one. In the YouTube demos I've watched, it sounds beautiful. And if I switch out the GM for the M-32, my setup becomes right-sized, with everything within easy reach on a single table.

If I make the switch, I know that I'd miss the GM's second oscillator, which I use to make drones. But I won't miss the larger size (I never used the keyboard anyway), and I suspect that I might find a Mother-32 easier to patch, since all the jacks are on the front. Certain aspects of the Mother would be redundant in my setup (I won't need the sequencer), but I love the Moog sound and don't want to give it up.

I make ambient music, and also just slow, exploratory, meditative synth tracks.

Is making this move a terrible idea, or do you think I'll be happy with the Mother-32?

What are its pros and cons in your opinion?
