Moog Source challenges.

2013-01-12 by z z

Hey guys. 

I picked up a Moog Source yesterday. And of course, it doesn't work properly. 

The synth is in perfect cosmetic condition, with a beautiful membrane panel. It's firmware 3.3.

The problems so far consist of:

Oscillator 2 works. Oscillator 1 does not. The waveform buttons for osc 1 make slight clicks, which seem to sort of change tone over time.

Also, the keyboard intonation is wacky. In order to get an octave, you basically have to play a flat 9. So in order to play C1, then C2, you have to play C1, then C#2. 

Suggestions? Opinions?

Thanks!

Jim
