Moog Mother-32 User manual

PRESET: INIT
NOTES:
PRESET: 2 OSC SYNTH
NOTES:
A basic normalled single oscillator synth patch. This is a good starting
point for experimentation, or when you need to get the Mother 32
“back to zero”.
PATCHING:
KB > MIX 1
VC MIX > LFO RATE
LFO SQ > EXT. AUDIO
A basic two oscillator synth patch utilizing the LFO at audio rate as a
second oscillator. The VC MIX is being used to scale the keyboard
voltage in order to improve the accuracy of the key tracking. This patch
tracks best in octaves 2 through 4.

PATCHING:
KB > VCF CUTOFF
“DUMMY” > EXT. AUDIO
PATCHING:
KB > LFO RATE
PRESET: TRACKED FM
NOTES:
PRESET: PLAY THE FILTER
NOTES:
A basic FM synthesis patch where the modulator tracks with the
keyboard. LFO RATE scales the FM rate, and VCO MOD AMOUNT
controls the RM amount.
A patch which uses the “self-resonating” filter in place of a VCO. Use
the CUTOFF knob to tune the filter voice, and the MIX knob to blend it
back in with the VCO.
A “dummy plug” is used here connected to the EXT. AUDIO jack in
order to break the normalling on the MIX knob

PRESET: SIMPLEST KICK & SNARE
NOTES:
A patch which uses the envelope-controlled VCO and filter as a bass
drum, and the noise generator as a snare drum. The keyboard voltage
controls the mix between these signals in order to “select” one or
the other.
When sequencing this patch:
- The lowest note of OCTAVE 1 will cause only the bass drum to sound.
- The highest note of OCTAVE 8 will cause only the snare drum
to sound.
PATCHING:
KB > MULT
MULT 1 > MIX CV
MULT 2 > VCF CUTOFF

PRESET: EVERYTHING!
NOTES:
A Patch which uses the envelope-controlled audio-rate LFO as a bass
drum, and the noise generator as a snare drum. The keyboard voltage
controls the VC MIX between them, and the ACCENT trigger voltage
controls the MIX between the VC MIX drum bus output and the VCO
melodic output. The ASSIGN jack must be set to output ACCENT
voltage in order for this patch to work properly.
When sequencing this patch:
- The lowest note of OCTAVE 1 will cause only the bass drum to sound
whenACCENTisonforthatstep.
- Any note in OCTAVE 2 or OCTAVE 3 will cause the bass drum to
soundalongwithabasstonewhenACCENTisonforthatstep.
- The highest note of OCTAVE 8 will cause only the snare drum to
soundwhenACCENTisonforthatstep.
- Any note in OCTAVE 2 through OCTAVE 6 will function normally when
