Section II The final section of the manual deals with service information and contains schematics and maintenance details A sound chart section is included that contains diagrams of all the factory programs Some blank panel diagrams are also provided for you to copy down your own patches SECTION SETTING UP If you haven t bought a flight case for your Memorymoog save the carton it came in in case you have to arrange long distance transportation After unpacking your instrument hook it up to a wall socket by first inserting the detachable three pronged cord into the back of the Memorymoog and then into the power outlet Be sure that the outlet is putting out the right amount of voltage 110V USA 220V EUROPE If you want to operate your Memorymoog on a voltage that differs from what s coming out of the wall socket i e 220 instead of 110 or 110 instead of 220 an authorized Moog service center can set up your instrument to operate at the proper voltage Next hook any footpedals or switches you desire to use up to their respective inputs Then con nect the audio output of the Memorymoog to an amplification system using either an XLR cable or a 1 4 phone jack A high quality amp is desirable due to the wide frequency range of the Memory moog Also note that different amps will make the programs sound different Turn the output volume of both the Memorymoog and the amp down to zero Turn the Memory moog on and then turn t
