- Hey Guys,
This is a video that I have had a request to make for some time now.
In this video I show you how to calibrate minimoogs with the version 2 oscillator board.
This video will also work for calibrating the Behringer D since it uses the same version 2 oscillator design.
NOTE: Calibration for the version 3 oscillator board is much different.

Thanks for watching and hope this helps you!
Sincerely,
Jareth
Thank you, Jareth, for generously sharing your knowledge and skills with us, about the Minimoog once again.!!!
Great video,Jareth! I don't miss doing this on my old '73' model!😉
Great video.
@@Richard_P_James thank you.
Awesome video, Jareth !!! Thank you for sharing this with us !!!
Is there a similar process/video for the '82 source. My repair guy says no but this video suggests there may be. I'd love to bring it back out to gigs. Thanks
They make plastic screwdrivers specifically for adjusting tuned circuits. They remove the need to do the "technician calculated compensation".
That's very true but most musicians are not going to own one. The range is also very sensitive to slight tweaks.
Hi Jareth, my best compliments for your video! I have a minimoog 1973 year, no pcb buffer, when I calibrate the oscillators starting from 2 feet and then the octave leading to 32 feet in the intermediate footage the notes are all out of tone. I checked the resistors on the footage switch and one is 4.7 ohm and the other 10 ohm, while in the diagram they are 4.7 k and 10 k. Is there any error in the diagram? Furthermore, if they are correct like this, where could the problem be? The same thing happens when changing footage in the other two oscillators. Thanks for your reply and sorry for my bad English translated by google.
Minimoog is a walk in the park compared to Odyssey tuning. I’ve spent a good couple of days calibrating a 2800. Hopefully the later ones are easier but this was definitely fun 😄
Odyssey calibrations are not too bad either but Arp quality does tend to suck in regards to component quality. I have had to add components/ change component specs in circuits in order to make some of their stuff function correctly....some of it probably didn't work correctly from factory. They tend to have noisy pulse widths and erratic frequency which takes some troubleshooting. They suffer from board leakage as well in some units.
Oh yes, all the opamps were bad on this except for the TO99 ones. Plus there’s extra calibrations on the early 2800 A board that’s a bit of a headache to get right. They got rid of those in later models.
@@autoy yeah, that early keyboard circuit can be a bit challenging.
Hey Jareth, thank you for this great video ! My model is a little bit out of tunes when i check on the 32" :( ! Can you maybe provide a video please of the filter calibration ? Thank you. Nicolas
You're welcome, glad this helped. You may have some circuit tolerance issues, run into this quite often. I will try to make a VCF calibration video soon.
Talk about the keyboard walk you do at 12:07.
That was just a bit of noodling.
@@synthpro That's my favorite part of your videos. Here's another nice one. th-cam.com/video/YsA8aAW5B4Q/w-d-xo.html
If you run out of topics, do a How to Noodle a Moog.
Jareth, do you have a similar video for Version 3 boards?
Not yet but will make a video the next time I have a version 3 here at my shop.
@@synthpro I'll look forward to that!
You’re welcome to come to my house and show everybody how to calibrate a Memorymoog+ 😜😎
This will get some views!
Does anyone know why after I updated to the latest software version my oscillator 1 fades away after I turn the pitch knob ?
These don't have any software or microprocessor. The reissue minimoog does though.....it replaces the keyboard circuit.
