Back in the mid 1970’s one of the first musicians I listened to, who was making electronic music, was Klaus Schulze. I searched out his first 5 LP’s in 1975, as they were available in the UK for the first time on the BRAIN record label. The royalties from the 1975 success of Timewind, and […]

The Moog 961 is an essential part of the Moog sequencer system and was available as part of the Sequencer Complement B (and A), which was often sold with the IIIC and IIIp. The primary use case is to convert the 960 V-trigger outputs to the S-trigger inputs for use in the Moog modular envelopes […]

The Moog 962 is a very useful sequential switch module that can now be bought as a Behringer replica in Eurorack. It sets you free from 8 step sequences by creating 16 or 24 steps. Tangerine Dream used up to three “Sequencer Complement B’s”‘ in the 1970’s after acquiring two Moog IIIc synthesizers (x-Rolling Stones, […]
Continue ReadingThe Behringer 960 (B960) Eurorack module is a low cost and accurate replica of the Moog 960 Sequencer, which dates back to 1967. Whilst very expensive when new the Moog 960 made its way into the hands of musicians in Germany in the 1970’s as the original owners of large Moog Modulars sold them on. […]

The Moog Modular system has internal signal busses, which from 1968 onwards were controlled by utility modules, both full height like the 992 and 993, and half height like the CP3. These modules are very useful as they replaced external patch cables, provide switches for routing and potentiometers for mixing. The original control panel range […]

The 904A Low Pass Filter The Moog low pass filter module dates back to 1966 and is probably the reason you want a Moog modular! The Behringer VC LPF module is a faithful copy and uses THD polyester capacitors in the filter stages, with smaller values to ensure they fit onto the PCB. It sounds […]

The original Moog 961 (and Behringer clone) uses S-triggers to activate the envelope generators and to control additional modules. The 960 Sequence Controller is V-trigger based and therefore needs a way to drive the S-trigger modules, hence the creation of the 961 Interface module. There are four independent circuits; Audio-In to V-trigger Out S-trigger In […]

In August 2020 I bought a set of Behringer System 55 modules, as my first journey into Moog modular. My plan is to recreate the Klaus Schulze Moog IIIP synthesizer and Dual Sequencer setup that Klaus bought on 22nd December 1975, and used successfully for many years. Rather than rack up a set of Behringer […]
