Title: Pitch tracking with Moog Mother 32
Post by: Brewski on December 17, 2015, 10:54:28 pm

Hi, I'm trying to use my Microbrute to control my Moog Mother 32. I have the patched Brute's Pitch Out and Gate Out to the Mother's VCO and gate inputs. Gate works fine. Pitch sounds great for about an octave but the Mother's pitch drifts away the further you get from the initial tuning note. Both units track well across their entire range when operated alone.

Anyone with similar experience? Any ideas on how to address this? Thanks.

Try this input :

VCO 1V/OCT INPUT
This is a 1V/Octave Exponential frequency modulation input that is summed
internally with the VCO FREQUENCY control, the Keyboard CV and any VCO
frequency modulation. With all internal control signals at 0V, a -5 to +5V control
voltage at this input will sweep the VCO frequency from 8Hz to 8kHz (10 Octaves).

Did you succeed to sync  Moog's LFO ?

I have the same issue here. Trying to control the pitch with the Microbrute through CV does not work well. I tried it on all my analog synthesizers unsuccessfully. By the way, they all track correctly individually, including my Microbrute.

Is there any way to calibrate the CV output on the Microbrute?

+1 on this.

It's a real pain in the **s.

I cant even find the VCO IN in the Mother 32 can you please point me in the right direction, I have tried with Tried VCO 1v/Oct and VCO Lin FM with no succes.

BTW connecting the Minibrute to a Beatstep Pro through the pitch and gate in/outs works perfectly so I asume is more of a problem in the Mothers side since it wont work with my beatstep pro either (through CV, midi works fine).

I have been able to output pitch (KB) and gate out from the Mother to the Minibrute but not the other way around. video here:
