Moog source owner manual

Page 2

Congratulations!
Now, I realize that about 80 percent of all owners manuals start with that word but, in this case, its justified
The fact that youve purchased THE SOURCE says several things about you as a musician:

- Youre not afraid of what could be called a computer~controlled instrument; rather, youre ready to work
with the advantages presented by a microprocessor-based synthesizer.

- You are quality and cost conscious. THE SOURCE contains a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator and
program sequencer and costs less than some non-programmable synthesizers.

-- Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you just want to make good music.

This manual will help you to realize just how versatile an instrument THE SOURCE truly is. Section I will show you
how to use each function on the instrument; Section II explains the theory behind each function and gives tips on

how to use that function more efficiently. Margin comments periodically explain, in detail, points made in the main copy.

After youve read the manual, you should have a good working knowledge of digitally-controlled synthesizers and
you should realize that, rather than producing robot music, digitally programmable synthesizers take care of
the busy work and leave you free to make your own kind of music.

And when youre done with this manual, youll be ready to earn the congratulations which really count -
the applause of your friends and audiences for making great music with THE SOURCE.

Good playing,

Rock Wehrmann
