Moog THE SOURCE User Manual

TUNING
A generalized tuning procedure is as follows:
1. Select a program using only Osc 1 as a signal source. Hold down any key and tune to the desired pitch source, using
the rear panel FINE TUNE control.
2. Select a program using both Oscillators that has Osc 2 set at a known interval (fifth, octave, etc.) Touch
MWa^ and PUflj^j simultaneously. This connects the incrementer to the master tuning control for
Osc 2. Adjust the incremental controller until Osc 2 is at precisely the known interval.
3. Touch any program. The interval settings for Osc 2 for each program have not been changed, so all programs
should be "in tune." If a new interval tuning (or beat rate) is desired, change the setting of the Osc 2 interval
control.
CASSETTE OPERATIONS
The Source outputs all pertinent data in a restorable format to a standard cassette recorder. Any cassette recorder
with remote microphone start/stop capabilities will work; a special "computer cassette deck" is not necessary (but
is recommended).
A standard 5-Pin DIN connector is used. Pin assignment is as follows:
1. Pin 1: Relay (Motor On/Off - to REM jack).
2. Pin 2: Ground
3. Pin 3: Relay
4. Pin 4: Data In (from EARPHONE or LINE out)
5. Pin 5: Data Out (to AUX or LINE input)
Note: Recording and playback levels are quite different from ordinary audio recording. Recording levels should be 0 dB
or higher ("into the red" on VU meters). Smaller cassette decks, or computer cassette recorders, incorporate an automatic
level control that sets correct levels internally.
Playback levels should be set correspondingly higher. A good rule of thumb is to set the output level at between 60% and
75% of full volume. If cassette load operations continually fail (produce error messages), adjust the cassette output level.
