Hi, Tim. I owned a Micromoog for many years, but haven't had one for 
over ten years now, so forgive me if my recollection is not perfect.

As I recall, the Micromoog had control voltage inputs. The idea is 
that you insert a control voltage of between 0 and 10 volts to the 
input jack to control the VCF. You can get the control voltage from a 
modular synthesizer module such as an LFO or an envelope generator, 
or from some other control voltage source, such as a control volktage 
pedal.

Although Moog used to make control voltage pedals, good luck finding 
one now.  Inserting a modern synthesizer pedal will not work. the 
Polymoog Polypedals occassionally come up for sale, but they are 
optimized for the Polymoog and use the Polymoog as a power source, so 
they would require some modification to use with the Micromoog.

  If you have some electrical knowledge, you could wire up a volume 
pedal so that it functions as a control voltage pedal.  This would 
consist of taking a +10 volt power source and wiring it to the two 
ends of a potentiometer and then taking the voltage from the wiper to 
send to the synth.

regarding my micromoog. There are several different controller jacks 
on the back of the keyboard and I was curious if these were for some 
type of external controller (foot switch, expression pedal etc.)? 
There is a jack for each module. I have played around with several 
different pedals to see what these do but have had not luck. Does 
anyone know if Moog made a special pedal for this and if so how can I 
get one? Maybe I am just crazy but that is part for the course. 
Thanks for your time.
