Question about midi control with dual moogs
I have 2 Moog MF 104m that I run in stereo and I am looking to see if a simple midi controller exists that can be used to sync and control the two units. For controls all I really need is a master on/off and some way to sync their delay times via the clock.
Wondering if anyone out there has any insight into this.

Disaster Area/DMC might be ALL over this. Especially something as simple as that!

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
yea that is one thought. I had one of their units for a timeline/mobius setup. I will check out their stuff to see if they have something compatible with Moogskullservant wrote:Disaster Area/DMC might be ALL over this. Especially something as simple as that!

If they don't have anything compatable I bet they would make you something. It'd look good for them to also have a Moog controller on top of the Strymon stuff!

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
I could inquire, the only issue is that I dont wanna drop super bank on it. I could possibly work towards building something but I lack expertise in digital I/O stuff

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
You need a drum machine or sequencer to send Midi Clock with dual Midi Outs or a Midi splitter...

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
i don't think on/off can be controlled via midi. it isn't mentioned in the manual. far as clock though all you need's a Y cable from whatever midi out you're sending them.

Seems the last one listed their should control the on/off

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
Stereo true bypass looper box (1 footswitch [4dpdt can do it I believe] that turns on and off two independent loops) then add a midi tap tempo board and a midi splitter, it will be 6 jacks 2 footswitches and 2 midi outs. Leave em both on and run them through the stereo loops and you can turn em both on and off with one footswitch, and use the tap tempo to sync them both.

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
that seems like a metricfuckton of cable routing for what could be done with just 2 midi cables and a smarter microcontroller on a unit.Ancient Astronaught wrote:Stereo true bypass looper box (1 footswitch [4dpdt can do it I believe] that turns on and off two independent loops) then add a midi tap tempo board and a midi splitter, it will be 6 jacks 2 footswitches and 2 midi outs.

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
i generally would prefer a more elegant solution then a brute force method.Ancient Astronaught wrote:But it doesn't require much digital midi I/O knowledge to build and utilize.new05002 wrote:that seems like a metricfuckton of cable routing for what could be done with just 2 midi cables and a smarter microcontroller on a unit.Ancient Astronaught wrote:Stereo true bypass looper box (1 footswitch [4dpdt can do it I believe] that turns on and off two independent loops) then add a midi tap tempo board and a midi splitter, it will be 6 jacks 2 footswitches and 2 midi outs.

Re: Question about midi control with dual moogs
these cats make a lot of midi stuff geared towards pedalboards...maybe they have something that would work for u?
