Moog Werkstatt-01 Overview and Demo 

I wish I knew too! Someone who used to attend our local soldering night 3d printed them for us, I think? I can't find the file for printing (if they have been shared out), but it looks like this person does make those exact knobs (though it looks like they are on a break): reverb.com/shop/redial-knobs

Can you use the new Tall Trimmer knobs from Thonk?

Maybe it's just me but I never enjoyed the volca modular. It's the only volca I sold.

@@zoned7609 3 years later: after buying a few hardware synths and sequencers, I tend to agree ; the Volca Modular is the one I used the least (which sits in his box since ~1 year)

I don’t think it’s possible with the werkstatt but you can do it with the moog grandmother

Hey there! It's Nick from the video, for a great 32-note keyboard to control the Werkstatt, I recommend the Keystep (patchwerks.com/products/arturia-keystep-32-key-slim-keyboard), which is a nice, portable, USB-powered MIDI controller that can control synths like this that need CV/Gate versus MIDI. There is a tuning procedure that you can follow here, since the Exp FM input doesn't come tuned to 1v/Oct out of the box: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vVNI3jibZ4U.html

@@TheHomestereo Can second this. The Keystep is a gem

I think it’s the other way around :-)

@@javiceres Haha you are correct. I have learned a lot since making this comment.

@@adammccoy1062 Lol, I see. Cheers friend!

Depends on whether you intend to mod it I guess. If I'd bought a DFAM I would be reluctant to get the soldering iron out with it.

@@nikjewell true

Yes, although you'll want a 3.5mm y-splitter (ie stereo to dual mono) to get the most out of the CV input on the volca (which is a stereo input). I cant remember off hand which channel is which, but I think the left side input on the volca takes 1v/Oct and rescales it for the volca modulars' internal pitch range. The other channel clamps the voltage between 0 and 5v from what I remember? The sync output from the volca should work as a clock source, so you should be able to trigger the envelopes on the moog from it, however the gate length will always be zero, so you will need to remove all attack. There's only one way to get CV output from the volca, and that's through the headphone jack, which means you can't get sound at the same time. I have 2 volca modulars, which means I can mix and direct all of the sound through volca 1, and send CV through volca 2. (don't bother, it's not worth it imho, just assume the volca can't send CV!) I don't have a werkstatt, I only have eurorack. The levels out of the volca modular are a bit weedy for euro land, so I've always had to use a strymon AA1 to bump the levels in my experiments. Looking at the levels on the werkstatt however, they seem much more inline with the volcas levels (line level basically), so it's probably a bit easier to pair those two together than say the Mother32+volca. It may be possible to take the modular connections directly out of volca and plug them into the (non CV expander) connections of the moog. I have no idea if this would work in practice (probably - but if you do this - put an attenuator in the signal path - just to be sure it doesn't fry the volca!) I can't find any info on the voltage levels from the modular connections on the volca itself. It wouldn't surprise me if they are pretty low (ie

@@robthebloke re your comment about CV through the vMod headphone out, wouldn't a y splitter work there too? Kinda curious now.

@@s3nsec0rruptr80 nah, it's only mono audio into the stereo output, so left and right channels would be the same.

Yeah, that’s disappointing 😕

Did you actually just say that.... Moog... Was a joke compared to Beringer? It's MOOG
