[vintagesynthrepair] Re: minimoog pitch center detent

2011-02-23 by Malte Rogacki

The deadband mod is now in the file section.

I did this on my MiniMoog (which has the newer type wheels). Before the mod
it would not reliably hit "zero" and just very miniscule moving of the
wheel resulted in clear out-of-tune-ness. After the mod the bending is rock
solid. Having to run an additional wire to the mod pot is a bit
inconvenient, but the results were exactly what I had hoped.

The deadband wiring was stock with a number of other synths - pre-PPC ARP
Odysseys (and probably other ARP's, too) and also later Moogs (at least the
Rogue).
