Moog Werkstatt with CV expander with Arturia Keystep

Edit: I've goten several comments about price. I am in no way suggesting this is a cost effective option. I already had the Werkstatt and the Keystep adds a lot of functionality. There are a lot of more convenient options for the price of this whole setup.
Short vid about how to connect the Arturia Keystep to the Moog Werkstatt using the CV expander. One thing I forgot to mention is to make sure you use Arturia's MIDI control center app to set the output to 5v or you might burn out your Werkstatt. I'm not an expert and I didn't write out what I was going to say beforehand so I stumble a bit. I hope it's helpful anyway. Happy Synth-ing!

My cv expansion board is actually different i hooked it up and had to put the gate to gate in...thank you for the explanation...that saved my oscillator..

[@circkus]

My version is from around 2015. When they rereleased it more recently the CV expander was changed to say GATE IN. I don't know if the internal connections are different.

[@mikedegrazia]

@@circkus i was looking at your set up and the cv plugs were in a different place all together, the pitch and mod plugs were the same but the gate in jack is two plugs higher underneath the lfo fm in..it works like a charm with the keystep .

[@geoffsmith8172]

the "issue" you have with hitting a button on the werkstatt changing your notes on the keystep is built onto most Moogs and often considered a nice extra feature. it's supposed to be for transposing an arp or looping sequencer coming in

[@circkus]

Thanks for the info.

[@chuckufarlie8215]

I've been using it for that. That's one if the few things I can get it to do in fact. ...and it is really useful and cool. But this synth is also kind of confusing to me. I know it's because of ignorance but nevertheless it is true. I found the grandmother to be easy as pie, this little guy...well...I really want it to work but I feel kinda lost usually. So far I just use it to make weird noises mostly. Like circuit bending or something.

Thanks for describing just how to calibrate with the trimmer and adjusting it to get that octave, something I rarely attempt with analog cv. Something that’s really fundamental and a basic and mandatory and yet I tell myself it’s too deep for me and I think ‘I’ll ruin its calibration’ as it is, off as it may be. I’m glad you made this video, as I am new to cv stuff but I’ve been around MIDI for decades. Arturia is responsible for my interest in analog (friend gave me a microBrute and then I saw an ad for BeatstepPro and that sent me off). Moog is sometimes called the 1.15 Volt per Octave standard, where it’s supposed to be 1.0Volts /Octave. I haven’t really done anything professional with my analog stuff to care yet so I’m taking a lesson from you on the whole calibration effort. I gotta start somewhere. Thank you great job, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’re too new to make videos, because there’s plenty of younger folks coming up who need to learn from zero and like you pointed out, no ones making ‘basics’ videos. You just may have inspired me to start uploading my own.

Hi, I bought one after seeing your demo to run my Werkstatt... it works fine ! It's not a big issue to get a fainter sound, according to me, the output level is still high enough. Actually, with this setting, you lose the "Attack" feature. And the Keystep is so easy to use.

I wasn't getting anything until I went into the keystep setting in Arturia MIDI Control Centre and changed the GATE CV Output to V-trig 12v. Something to try if you're not having success.

[@montxsuz]

Thanks for the simple explanation, but looking at the details I realised that my Expander is different from yours. I have no Gate Out, but have a Gate In, and it is in a different position. Weird, but I guess it will work out. Now to figure out how to connect it to my new Mavis.

[@circkus]

There are other comments about this. I have the 2014 version, the later release is a little different, but the functionality is the same.

[@montxsuz]

I haven't noticed, but okay. Still, I wanted to figure out how to use the Werkstatt as a CV source, as there is now no Gate-Out, only a KB CV-Out for pitch. From reading the manual, these connections all exist in the patchable header, but they are not patched into the CV Extension. Only 12/22 connectors are patched out, hence the differences in versions. Unfortunately the Moog Mavis (aka Werkstatt v2) is the same, no Gate-Out - so I have not figured out how to connect the two without a Sequencer to drive both. My 3rd Moog, the Theremini also only has the CV-Out for pitch (but no CV inputs) so this must be a cheaper Moog thing.

[@thomasdannegger]

Great video thank you! Did you have anything set specifically on the Moog that the mod connection would have controller? Hooked mine up the same way but didn’t get any reaction.

[@gotopcat]

Watched your video again. Good information and again, thanks. Just hooked my two devices up identically. I'm a novice at this, it's working but I notice a significant loss of the initial Moog 'punch' when a key is depressed and and also a loss of sustain, compared to how the Moog sounds when standalone - muffled; it almost sounds like a cassette player with the dolby function engaged. The 'punch' I refer to is perhaps voltage loss when the key is pressed or released? I don't know and again, I'm a beginner and my terminology is probably suspect. I've twiddled and tweaked things again and again but can't seem to overcome the issue. Also I noticed the chord function isn't working; I don't think that would be the fault of the Moog being monophonic because that information is stored, one key at a time, in the KeyStep's memory, I believe. When a keystroke is pressed to release the created chord, it should be a monophonic note received to the Werkstatt. Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks.

[@circkus]

I ended up doing a gate mod. You can find it by googling "synthnerd gate mod". It might even be in the comments here. My werkstatt is the 2014 version. The new ones might be different. Good luck.

[@gotopcat]

Thanks. I'll check that out. BTW, mine is the same version as yours, 2014. Got busy with other things, forgot about it and assembled maybe a month ago. New old stock, as they say...

[@MeAlexSenna]

I'm about to start working with a Beatstep Pro and my Werkstatt, I'm not so sure if I can change the voltage out off the Beatstep to +/- 5v . I've use it as it is out of the box and seems to work ok, but I'm afraid I can burn my mood in the long run if I keep doing it. So I got a attenuator cable to manage the voltage into the Werkstatt, that can be a different route to explore before drilling holes in your unit.

[@circkus]

On the keystep you can control the voltage with a setting on the "MIDI Control Center" software. (which you can download here: www.arturia.com/support/keystepquickstart) I don't have a beatstep, but I'd imagine it's similar. Smarter people than me have said that more than 5 volts is ok for the werkstatt, but I understand it's a point of debate in some online communities. The drilling I am going to do is for the proper gate input mod.

[@MeAlexSenna]

+Justin Fox thanks for the software link. Since I saw the link for the proper Gate input (you posted below) I got curios too. Seems like a good source of Intel. Let us know if you do it, and what your findings are. I'll try to run the Beatstep pro and report my findings here in case someone feels like adding a sequencer to the Werkstatt

[@sjfleishnetworkportal]

Hello! I am confused on how this works! is the midi output converted through the keystep into it's 3 voltage ports --> then goes into the Werkstatt--> where the sound is then relayed through the werkstatt's line out and into your interface and out of the DAW (as an external instrument) through your speakers? Or is there a CV plugin you have to get to make this work on Ableton, even with the keystep? (I ask for the clarification bc im trying to use an akai 49 to do this, only it does not have cv gate outputs only midi and usb, so trying to figure out what converter I need to make a chain into a scarlet 212 interface) hope this makes sense Thank you! Sera

[@circkus]

There is no DAW in this example, and I use Reaper, so I'm going to be useless for what to do in Ableton. Hopefully I can help a little anyway. The KeyStep has MIDI IN and OUT and CV out. The CV out is the key to controlling the Werkstatt. Anything that sends CV out (there are some details about voltage, I'm speaking generally here) can control the Werkstatt. The Werkstatt is not different from any other synth, or even a guitar as far as your audio connection is concerned, Werkstatt audio out into audio interface in. If you're able to send MIDI to any other synth, sending MIDI to the Keystep controller is the same. You want to send FROM the DAW on the same channel that the Keystep is listening on. The Keystep then converts the MIDI data into CV signals, and sends that out to the Werkstatt. DAW MIDI OUT -> Keystep MIDI IN / Keystep CV out -> Werkstatt. The original Keystep is fairly affordable at around $125 the last time I checked, and it's dead easy to hook up. If you can get a MIDI to CV converter, it should do the same trick. The Keystep is just a good MIDI to CV converter. Good luck!

Still looking for info on how to connect to other equipment. I have a grandmother. I find it confusing regardless of what I learn. This is useful but I can't find much useful info to help get me started with the werstatt. There's a lot that's obvious and a lot of concrete shit I see I'm clearly missing in using the Werkstatt. I'm sure there's more clever stuff I can do and the main thing that I find confusing is these outputs and how they relate to the grandmother's inputs and what possibilities there are. I have experimented, read, watched videos...inputs still not confident...and that's weird for me as I'm usually doing the react opposite and feeling very confident in my mastery of the thing with synths. Most things I try just make bullshit muffled noises or do nothing. I'm sure I'm fucking this up and it's all me but I'd love to find more material with real teeth like this video. Things that produce real out comes. Before I start opening it up and soldering I'd like to at least understand what the basic thing does without mods.

[@TVI713]

Hi. I bought a Werkstat and a Keystep but when I hook it up the way you have it it doesn't work. If I go gate to gate then I get the sound of the Moog but the keys on the Werkstat won't play individual notes. The slide will work the vcf and the sequencer will only sequence the one note played on the Moog. Read the manual, downloaded the Midi controller checked it's on 5v nothing works. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.☹️

[@circkus]

I don't know what you mean by "If I go gate to gate", but the rest of it sounds like you're describing one long note that is just changing pitch. Just under the Moog logo you will see the VCA section with the "Mode" switch, it should be set to "EG" which means "Envelope Generator". If it's set to "ON" it will continuously sound. If I've missed your point entirely, try describing your problem again. I'll do my best to help.

[@ILGpify]

Hi! Tanks for your explanation... right now i have some questions, i can not sync Moog Werkstatt with my Keystep. Can u know why?

[@circkus]

The most important part is keystep pitch into werkstatt VCO and key step gate into into werkstatt gate. After that it's all optional, good luck.

[@NeverTrustGoats]

Hey! Im having problems with calibrating my werkstatt...i mean it doesnt really make any difference if i turn the little thing inside. and i have absolutely no idea what to do.....

[@circkus]

The frequency knob in the top left in the VCO section controls your pitch. I am not sure, but I think I have my keystep root note F1 or F2. So then when I press the lowest F on the keystep, I then adjust the frequency knob until the werkstatt is making an F then I try an octave up, and an octave above that. The V5 trimpot is used to calibrate the octaves to the input device. The frequency knob is to set the main pitch. So every time I want to play on the higher end of, say f4 - f6, then I need to adjust the frequency knob to make the lowest note on the keystep play f4. If I want to go back down to f1 - f3 I adjust the frequency knob again.

[@NeverTrustGoats]

thx man! =)

[@kenkinnally6144]

Thank you for this, it helped me hook up my Arturia Keystep 37 with the Werkstatt. I'm having an issue with the Werkstatt though. There's a constant note (tone) generated right as I plug it in and any note (button) I play will continue indefinitely until I press another key. Did not use to do that a few months ago when I bought it. I've tried adjusting or turning off the Sustain switch and knobs and it does nothing to change it. Just constantly plays the last note I played until I hit a new one, then that just plays indefinitely etc. Does anyone have any ideas on this? The Werkstatt is not very old but I'm wondering if something has gone faulty, or if it's just my lack of programming skills? Any advice is appreciated!

[@circkus]

The VCA (voltage controlled amplitude) switch has two modes, ON and EG (envelope generator). ON behaves as you're describing, EG uses the envelope settings from the ENVELOPE section. If your VCA switch is set to EG and it still behaves like that, contact Moog.

[@kenkinnally6144]

Thanks for your response. After watching your video and a couple of others I did try the VCA switch as you suggested and it did fix the problem. Now I could have sworn I did try that earlier, but maybe not! So next time I will try having the VCA switch 'on' before I plug the Moog in, which will replicate the conditions, just to make sure it does not somehow get stuck if already activated when the unit first powers on. Probably not, but just to be certain. If no issues, then that solves that. Thanks again for your good video and response.

I've done the synthnerd gate in mod. I've also tried some of the projects that Moog has for this and an arduino, but I never made any permanent. I've messed about and come up with some funky sounds. I've made a pretty cool snare sound, and a pretty cool kick sound. For a while I used it for almost all of my bass.

[@TudorNeve]

so calibration is important just to get the correct tones, right? anyway...nothing happens when i try connect my keystep to the werkstatt this way...not even an incorrect note. i get no sound at all.

[@circkus]

The calibration is mostly about getting all of your notes in tune. It's like intonation for a guitar. You want the lowest A (for example) and the highest A to both be in tune. You tune the lowest note with the frequency knob, and then get the higher note in tune using the calibration. No sound at all is not calibration. Does the workstatt sound when you hit the button keys? Is it creating an audible frequency?

[@MrFlatlandcycle]

Nice video! I've had my werkstatt-01 for about a week and already violated the warranty with synthnerd's gate mod. I also drilled holes above VR5 and VR10 so I can tune on the fly. My Keystep arrives today. Hopefully I get it before the porch bandits do. Did you run the software to limit the control voltage (CV)...I think that's an option??? At least it looks like you have the skills of a musician. I got to this mess via _Curse of the Man who sees UFOs_. I'm totally inspired by Christo Roppolo's art work.

[@circkus]

Thanks. I found synthnerd's mod but i'm still a little hesitant to start soldering until I get a little more practice (since I've never done it). I wouldn't mind a video of that particular mod being completed. Yes I did use MIDI control center to set the output to 5v. I've been doing an increasingly accurate impersonation of a musician for 18 years now. Evidently it's getting convincing. "Curse of the Man who sees UFO's" is news to me, but it's on my Netflix queue now. Thanks for commenting, enjoy your toys!

[@synthnerd4539]

Hi Justin, Synthnerd here :) Thanks for mentioning my page. If you have any questions about making those mods, feel free to get in touch, I answer as many questions as I can on the blog. I'm curious about this idea that sending more than 5V to the VCO will 'burn out' the Werkstatt. Where did you read/hear that?

[@MrFlatlandcycle]

Synthnerd, your knowledge is way beyond most. I defer to you as to what voltage/current the Werkstatt can withstand. I can't find the source, but above 9V sticks in my head as to be avoided. I don't see anything above 5V or below -5V in the specifications for control voltage recommendations. Anything beyond 5V is likely to be inaudible anyway, right? All we get from Moog is when using external sources avoid currents and voltages beyond what the circuitry can withstand.

[@synthnerd4539]

Yeah, the manual gives -/+ 5V as the VCO CV input range, but I've had no problems feeding more than +5V into mine. I've used it with several sequencers and interfaces with no problem on that front. I'd basically just plug whatever pitch CV you have in there, and enjoy playing. The technical details of this might be something to cover in a future blog post. Otherwise, I notice Justin picked up on the issues around not having a true Gate input. That was the initial reason I started modding my own Werkstatt, and actually the Gate mod has been my most popular post, probably for good reason. I completely understand being wary of trying it, but it does make the Werkstatt more useable and if you know someone who can solder well, it might be worth buying them a beer...

[@retlasd]

Hi, Great video - I've managed to calibrate my Werkstatt-01 to an Alturia Keystep, however the pitch for middle C on the keyboard and above is really high. They 0-Volts key on the Keystep is the lowest C key on the keyboard. You have to shift the octave down by it's maximum to find it (I think you hit the Oct- button 4 times). This is the only key that doesn't change pitch when you tweak the VR5 knob. tuning this to C2 and calibrating means that - as I then move up to the 'middle' of the keyboard using the Oct+ button then the notes are getting really high pitch to the point they become inaudible in the upper half of the keyboard. In the Arturia Midi Control Centre I can see I can adjust the note for the 0-Volt key. It's currently set to C2 as the factory default. I tried setting this to C0 but then had trouble getting other notes calibrated off this as the VR5 knob reached its max adjustment before tuning them i think. Any suggestions?

[@circkus]

The way I used it was to set 0v to E1 (I just confirmed in MIDI Control Center). Then with the octaves on the keystep in the middle (neither button lit), I just used the two and a half octaves available on the keyboard without shifting the octaves up or down. Choosing E1 allowed the lowest F to pitch bend down, and the highest C to be in tune. If I wanted to play lower or higher notes, I would just adjust the FREQ knob to where the lowest F on the keyboard was in the range I wanted. I didn't really use the octave buttons. So even though MIDI Control Center thinks the lowest note is E1, I could use a tuner and adjust the FREQ knob to where it was really playing an E5. I wouldn't expect to play 88 notes at the same time on the Werkstatt. I hope that helps.

[@retlasd]

@@circkus Thank you that really helps. I’ve seen something similar on the moog boards too. I get it now that the werkstatt hasn’t got the octave range to match all the keys!

what is the app name for key tones? thx

[@circkus]

I might not understand your question. There isn't an app involved in the tones. The keystep is connected to the computers usb for power only. There is a "Midi Control Center" app that Aturia provides to control some of the options of the keystep, such as amount of pitch bend etc. But that is not creating any tones. All of the tones in this setup are coming from the Moog Werkstatt-01. The cv out (controlled voltage) from the keystep is going in to the CV Expander to control the Werkstatt. What you are hearing is the werkstat's pure analog sound.

He means the app you used for tuning. The one on your iPhone.
