moog prodigy modifications / repairs !! (cross-posted)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #103 of 140 |
Hi.

I've got a prodigy with CV/gate-inputs. I don't know if these were
originally built-in or if Mike Bucki (moog tech) installed them
later. I don't know because my unit hasn't got the panel with the
serial number.. I bought just the electronics without a keyboard or
case and have built the unit into a pine box.. So, its just a module
that I'm currently controlling with my Korg Mono/Poly.


I would like to install an audio input jack and a filter FM
control. .

Now, I realize that these modifications should be very painless. .
but not in my case. The previous owner silicon-ed the knobs onto the
pots!! So, I can't look at the component side of my Prodigy's board.

If anyone could guide me to the proper solder points on the back of
the board, I would very very much appreciate it and I am even
offering a slight financial reimbursement for the time and energy.


Please let me know if you'll work with me on this.
It will probably involve looking at the schematics and taking a few
pictures with your digital camera.

Thanks a lot !

Also, what do you do when the two position switches (Osc Mod On/Off,
Filt Mod On/Off, Mod Shape..) don't move as freely as they should?
In fact, I have to be very careful to switch the Osc Mod On/Off at
all.. Maybe there're dirty? Or there could be some internal
breakage (though I doubt it) (?)

what do you guys think of the Moog source? To my ears, in a mix, it sounds a lot like a Minimoog. ... http://www.pmerecords.com/Docs/ProdigyPCBLayoutsAll.jpg ...
