Brilliant vid tiger..it looks and sounds amazing..I’m gonna buy one tomorrow after seeing this. I hope moog do more werkstatt type devices in the future and hope one day they do an official tiger moog 2.0 edition:)
I performed very similar mods on my Werkstatt. But going with red button caps for the black keys. Then using a matching set of red knobs for top row. Went with smaller 14.5mm knobs on other pots. Having the knobs obscure the legends triggered some sort of OCD within me. The smaller knobs are not quite the Moog style, but have the vintage feel with the spun aluminum tops.
Yes the labels are covered a bit on the bottom. I would’ve preferred they weren’t but it doesn’t bother me. Only because I’m familiar with what everything does.
I will have to record them together. They look really nice next to each other. The whole straw thing was due to not being satisfied with how snug the knobs were on top of the originals. Gotta do what you gotta do😂 Thanks for watching Andew
Thanks for watching. I agree with you on the knobs. It allows for better and easier precision. I did provide a link in the description if you need help being pointed in the right direction for what I used in this video.
White key caps! Brilliant. I'll be doing that. I added some of the large knobs though it bummed me out that the letters on the lowest row (LFO & Envelope) were blocked so I didn't put them on there.
Thanks Thomas! Just helped it feel more secure without destroying the trimpots for when I may want to take them off. Some people get too tight of knobs and then can’t take them off of the trimpots without ripping them off and damaging it.
Ok, it's April 1st and I am reading "Moog Werkstatt 2.0" There is two options: either I have to buy a new Werkstatt or this is an April fools joke 😂 But I love what I found here. I already added smaller knobs that I 3D printed on my resin printer but these Moog style knobs are definitely better and more to my liking. I still have to decide about the cheeks but they look great although I don't like the black burnt laser cut sides of the panels. I am pushing the buy button on some knobs right now to Moogify my Moog 😁
Hey Rob! I was worried people might think that 😅 no joke here! This is my own personal “2.0”. Moog even liked my upgrade and video so I’ll take it as they’re cool with it 😂. Also, I 💯 agree with you about the laser engraving on the sides. Could’ve done without it, seemed overkill IMO. Hope your customization works out! Never hurts to moogify a Moog right?! Thanks for watching man!
I've been thinking about picking one of these up to add to my growing desktop modular synth setup. It's made of modular "brickie" stand alone units and is becoming quite experimental, my question to you is... can you sequence this (I'm not a keyboard player)?
Thanks for watching man! Yes, you can sequence this and play with a keyboard controller. (I use the Arturia Keystep because it has CV control). Here is a link to a video I recently posted which sequences the Moog Werkstatt-01 with the Korg SQ-1: th-cam.com/users/shortsNPbzuvFC4yU?feature=share
Yes, the Werkstatt-01 has CV inputs and works perfectly well with any device with 1V/Oct CV output - that's the standard. You will need the CV Expander for this but then this just works out of the box. With this and your SQ-1 you'll have a lot of fun
@@Tiger.Arcade if this dude making the Mods would do a video showing him installing his CV expander I’d probably grab 2 of them but not enough details are given other than some pics n price
Great mods. I wonder if there’s anyone here that’s done a fine tune mod, where the VR5 trim can be accessed without removing the front panel? I’m thinking of drilling a small hole through the front panel, just big enough for a screwdriver to fit.
It’s interesting you say that because I noticed that the mother-32 has this tiny fine tune holes on the front panel so you don’t have to remove the panel. You just use a type 1 flat head or something to adjust. Sounds reasonable to me.
@@Tiger.Arcade I did it. I used a 1/8” drill bit. It’s not perfectly centered over the VR5 trim but it’s close, and just large enough to fit a 00 Phillips screwdriver and fine tune. I’m excited I’ll never have to remove the front panel again to access it.
Nice, add bigger knobs, change some button heads and add cheeks. The only shade I have is for Moog wasting money laser etching their logo on the side cheeks. Who cares, nobody see’s that. A bottom strap/plate on the cheeks and feet would have been more useful and stable. Lucky me, I work in a metal shop, so that’s an easy fix.
The knobs actually really improved the functionality allowing for more accurate dialing. If I was to mod the circuitry I think I’d add a volume knob. That was the main thing I wish this had that it doesn’t.
@@Tiger.Arcade debatable but I don’t know if I would really call just adding knobs a mod. It has a whole headboard inside for making modifications or additions to the circuits and you didn’t even touch that
@@jdssurf this is a synth that literally has a perfboard on it for experimenting with mods and this dude made a whole ass video calling it 2.0 where he just bought some knobs for it. Come on. Have higher standards
@@offthewallsk818 Oh please. The instrument's functionality and aesthetic were significantly improved, there was a lot of good information in this video, and he played us a lovely composition. Was it a paradigm shifter? Perhaps not, but well worth putting out into the world, as well as my time. Lighten up.
See description for where to buy everything used in the upgrade and thanks for watching everyone!
I upgraded my knobs with ones that don’t need any straw padding and are of a smaller diameter so they don’t cover the labels.
Yes, I strongly considered this but wanted the knobs to match the rest of my Moog gear. Still looks great though!
I'm rewatching this! One day i'll get the wood sides.
What a great tone you've coaxed out of this little beast
I love how beefy and warm this thing can be. I always enjoy playing it.
4:37 "We don't make mistakes -- we just have happy accidents."
😂I love Bob Ross!
Good job. The Subharmonicon also benefits tremendously from having larger knobs on the sequencers
That’s a great idea. I may add those to all my sound studio!

Wow that looks crazy!! You got real creative with the straw.. the moog ws 2.0 reminds me of the mother 32 but without the mixer and sequencer :)
I will have to record them together. They look really nice next to each other. The whole straw thing was due to not being satisfied with how snug the knobs were on top of the originals. Gotta do what you gotta do😂 Thanks for watching Andew
Good job man! You're gonna hit 1k subs soon!
Thank you for your support man. That’s the goal!
Really cool! I really liked the knobs as they will make it easier getting the tones just right 😁
Gonna fetch knobs for my own Werkstatt, thanx!

Nice one TA 👍
Appreciate it!
Great tutorial my guy!
I really appreciate that Joss! Thanks for watching!
Wish there was a Expander with the jacks facing up to make more functional with other semi Modular and Modular
White key caps! Brilliant. I'll be doing that. I added some of the large knobs though it bummed me out that the letters on the lowest row (LFO & Envelope) were blocked so I didn't put them on there.
I totally get that with the block of the labels. I know individuals who used thinner knobs on the pots. Personal preference really.
Excellent build mod. This made me scope out a Werkstatt on eBay. I might give this mod a go!
Hey John! Thanks for watching. It’s a fun, easy mod, anyone can do. Love the killer klowns soundtrack btw!
@@Tiger.Arcade Keep up the great work.! Love your content!
@@JohnMassari That means a lot coming from you. Thank you!
I am ashamed to say that I didn’t know that a standard straw fits as a trimpot to 6mm sleeve. Great video, subscribed.
Thanks Thomas! Just helped it feel more secure without destroying the trimpots for when I may want to take them off. Some people get too tight of knobs and then can’t take them off of the trimpots without ripping them off and damaging it.

Great video,,great presentation,,subbed....
Thank you so much! I appreciate that.
Hey, it looks like mine, minus the fancy bottom case. I really really wish the patch bay faced up on this thing.
Same but I suppose it was the best they could do given the expander. Maybe that’s where the Mavis delivered instead.
I’ve a second Werkstatt-01 inbound to make a 3 oscillator Moog monster with my Mother 32. Wish Werkstatt was setup to go in Modular case without mods.
I know what you mean. I think that was the inspiration behind the Mavis.
@@Tiger.Arcade but just adding wave folding and sleeker design doesn’t add up to $150 more in my book. Hell I got my second Werkstatt for $105
@@Madmohawkfilms I'm with you there. I actually like the sound of the wersktatt more too. More classic analog sound to the ears.
@@Tiger.Arcade if this dude making the Mods would do a video showing him installing his CV expander I’d probably grab 2 of them but not enough details are given other than some pics n price

Too bad I don't have your shop skills. I could've just made my own stand I bet if I knew how to work with wood. Thanks for watching as always!
