The Keyboard - Moog MEMORYMOOG 345 Owner's And Service Manual

o
The
CONTROL VOLT
1
VOLT/OCT
jack
is
used
to
supply control voltage out
from
the
Memorymoog
to the external synthesizer.
The
other
two
jacks
—
V-GATE
TO
1
5
V
and
S-TRIG
15V
TO
—
are
used
to
supply
either voltage or switch
triggers fronn
the
Memorymoog
to
the
ex-
ternal synthesizer,
depending on which
type of
trigger signal
it
requires.
Consult
the
owner's
manual
for the synthesizer
you
intend to
interface to for details
of the
trigger signal required.
Once
you've connected the
necessary
patch cords between
instruments,
it
may
be necessary
to
retune the
Memorymoog
output
to the external synthesizer, especially
if
that synthesizer has
a
keyboard
that
ends
in
notes other than
C.
To
do
this,
use the
RANGE
(R)
and
SCALE
(S)
trimpots on
the
back panel of the
Memorymoog. The
RANGE
control
lets
you
tune the
Memorymoog
output +
an
octave. Hit the lowest
C
on
the
Memorymoog,
and tune
it
to the lowest
C
on
the
instrument you're
interfacing
to.
The
SCALE
trimpot
is
used to tune the outer range of the
Memorymoog
output
to
the outer range of the instrument you're
interfaced with. Hit the highest note
on
the
Memorymoog
and
adjust the
SCALE
trimmer
until
it's in
tune with
the external synth.
You may
have
to
go back
and
forth
between
the
RANGE
and
SCALE
controls
a bit
before the instruments
are exactly
in
tune with each
other.
The
KB
OUT
switch
(1.5)
on
the front panel
is
used to disconnect the external synthesizer
from
the
Memorymoog
without unplugging
all
the patch
cords.
Its
function
is
programmable.
THE
KEYBOARD
o
The
keyboard
is
the source of control voltages that
are applied to the
oscillators, telling
them
what
pitches to
produce.
The
lower
the
note you
play,
the lower the corresponding
voltage the key-
board
will
put
out.
It
functions
in
two
basic
modes:
POLYPHONIC
and
MONOPHONIC.
In
its
four
POLYPHONIC MODES
you
can play up
to
six
notes simultaneously.
The
keyboard
puts out
a separate control voltage for each voice
card.
There
are
four
different
ways
that the
com-
puter assigns voices to the notes
you
play
when you
Ve
in
a
POLYPHONIC
mode. The
effects
of the
different keyboard
modes
will
not be apparent
unless
glide
and/or long
release
times
are
turned
on.
To
hear the various keyboard modes,
use a
fairly straight preset, a brassy
one
or
something
similar.
Turn
the
GLIDE
(1 .6)
on and
set
it
at 5
or
more.
To
set the
mode
of the keyboard,
hit
the
KB
MODE
switch
(1 .7).
The
Alphanumeric
Display
(3.2) will
then
show
^TOLYPHONIC
1 ,
2, 3,
or
4"
depend-
ing
on
the
keyboard
mode
programmed.
Hit
1
on
the
Numeric Keyboard
(3.3)
followed by
ENTER.
This puts
you
in
KEYBOARD MODE
1 ,
which
is
called
CYCLIC
indicating that the voices
will
jump
around
to
new
notes every time one
is
played. Hitting a widely spread chord
on
the keyboard
more
than once,
letting
the
glide finish
its
cycle,
will let
you
hear that
no
matter
how many
times you
strike
the chord, each voice
has
glide
on
it.
