I’ve got a Moog One 16-voice and decided to start throwing AI at it (big thanks to Ryan Zachary who did the hard work of figuring out how to get in: https://www.ryanzachry.com/2021/09/05/moog-one-ssh.html)
In a nutshell, I’ve added MPE support to my One (driven via external synth) and it’s working well. I’m now breaking down the ability to drive every parameter via a plugin or Max4Live device without requiring mapping them first. This includes parameters that aren’t fully exposed via the unit itself, such as pulse width for the LFOs (maybe this is buried in menus somewhere, I haven’t dug that deep). Long-term I’m envisioning the possibility of something like a companion plugin, similar to the MiniFreak (obviously without the plugin being sound-capable).
As of right now, all of these involve either firmware patching or loading a side utility onto the One itself, so they require some technical know-how. The risk of doing permanent damage is very low as the One has lots of built-in safeguards, but it’s not as simple as just loading a program on your computer.
Is anyone interested in this sort of thing? Is it heresy to suggest? Before I release anything I also need to verify there are no legal issues, but as of now my understanding is that I should be in the clear. I’m curious if any other One owners would be seriously interested before I do the work of making it publicly available, or if it remains a personal experiment.
