Beat not right?

Hi, Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems the whole point of the Beat function of the oscillators has been missed. The way it is supposed to function is that whatever frequency the Beat between the oscillators is set to stays the same over the range of the pedal board, yet it seems to behav...

Re: Moog Rogue?

The MG-1 was a Moog synth, just branded for Radio Shack. I mean they even snuck in the name Moog in the model number: MG-1. Not sure why you think otherwise, the rear panels even say "Manufactured by Moog for Radio Shack". Literally the same year and the same plant as the Rogue with a lot ...

Re: Moog Rogue?

As far as I'm aware the internals are the almost the same, they'd be taking away the parts that are different (poly and bell).

The lfo, osc section and filter are the same. Remember they produced both these synths to be cheap so they share design and components.

Moog Rogue?

As this synth is so close to being a Moog Rogue, would it be possible to add those features (and take some away) from the MG-1 to create a Rogue variant. It wouldn't take much development really and would make a nice additional free gift. Overall the MG-1 looks to be more flexible I'll admit. In rea...

Feature Request: The "Non-Arp Arp" retrigger trick

There is a button combination trick that makes the arpeggiator a retrigger rather than an arpeggiate. On the hardware you can of course hold down buttons whilst pressing other buttons that you shouldn't be able to (and indeed on the software you cannot do these combinations, press one button, the la...

Re: First feedback and improvement

I would go with the push buttons being bigger. Also I find the sliders caps are quite difficult to tell apart from the slider markings.

Feature Request: Trigger Input

The one thing I like on my real Jupiter-4 is the trigger input for the arp. Now you might think this is just sync, but this is analogue remember. So what you can do with a trigger is hook up a CR-78 trigger output - that's the same as MIDI sync. However you can also send it, say, the snare drum only...
