Moog Rogue in Custom 1u Rackmount with Midi!!

|
| The Rogue is a small 2 VCO analogue synth, probably the smallest of the Moog family, alongside with the Moog Prodigy. |
|
|
| It's very similar to the Realistic MG-1, which was licensed/designed by Moog as well. |
| As with all (most) Moogs, the filter has some Moog character... |

|
|||
| I didn't make/mod or rackmounted this. I bought this 1u Midi Moog Rogue from Oakley Sounds. Comes in silver metal 1u rackmount case... | |||
| It's very nicely rackmounted, all the pots are now nice small ALPS pots. | |||
|
|
|||
| Original PCB, new trimmers, internal power transformer... | |||
|
|
|||
| and it has MIDI :) | |||
|
|
|||
| The tbDAC Midi-to-CV Converter inside... | |||
|
|
They've put in a tbDAC midi-to-CV converter inside,
the same one they do for their Oakley TB3031.
The Moog Rogue was then tuned to 0.8V/Octave to take advantage of the full 128 midi notes from the tbDAC.
Midi Channel has to be configured from the jumper switch inside. Midi Velocity is routed to VCF.
|
||
| I got it because the price was fair and i would like to see how other people have rackmounted & retrofitted these synths. | |||

| Nice, eh? | |||
| CONs | |||
| Although it's a very nice job done and i would have given it a 10 out of 10 except there are a few very minor areas that could've been better. | |||

| FURTHER MODS | ||
|
||
| 1st thing i did was to removed the flying mains lead and added an IEC Mains Socket at the back, labelled the rear panel. | ||
|
|
||
| Note: To make the IEC Mains Inlet hole, I use a screwing hand tool, which is an M10 Radius Hand Hole Cutter, 28x21mm (RS Cat.#543-614 or or 541-501), with matching 10A Snap In PCB Mount IEC 320 Plug Socket ( |
||
|
||
| Don't have much space left on the Front Panel, so a standard (safer) Power switch cannot be used. I decided to use a toggle switch, as these are rated 2Amps anyway, but just have to be careful about shielding. | ||
| The Power On LED was actually inside, on the main PCB. So i removed that and added a blue LED to the front. | ||
|
|
||
|
||
| Removed LED1 on the tbDAC and routed/wired a new LED on the front. This LED is 5V rating. | ||
|
|
||

In the original Rogue, there should be an Audio In Socket.
It's wired to Pad 6 on the main PCB (lower right hand corner) and goes to R122 which is a 18k resistor. I found that tapping a line signal to the leg of R122 resulted in a slightly lowered level signal than the internal VCOs. There's no space on the front panel for an extra level pot.... So i wired another 18k in parallel to R122 thus reducing the input resistance to 9k. Drilled a hole at the back for the Audio In Socket and - done :) So now if i want external audio processed by the Filter, i'd just need to turn down the Level Pots of VCO1, VCO2 & Noise... |
||
|
|
||
|
||
| Just drilled extra hole to house a Midi Socket and wired to the tbDAC THRU pads. | ||
| I was gonna make use of the Midi Modulation (CC#1) to Aux CV on the tbDAC, but since they've already routed Midi Velocity to VCF... I've decided not to do anything for the time being. | ||
|
|
||
| So now the Oakley Moog Rogue is 99.5% up to my expectance :) | ||
