For the first time, a Moog product at home :

I should be able to generate signals from the voltages supplied by my converter. For that I had the choice between buying a MODEL D type synthesizer for example, or one or more modular type VCO modules. Finally I chose to buy two VCO modules. I choosen two modules of different types in order to verify in a more 'real' way the behavior of the set.
One PICO VCO2 :
One 3340 ANALOG VCO :
Obviously, there was no longer any question of testing these modules on the table, with all the risks that this implies. I needed a 'box' to store and supply these materials. There is a choice for this type of case. For example, Behringer also offers its rack version :

But in this case, the maximum height of the modules is lower than that of the Moog model. Moog also offers another rack but with a smaller width. For the price and the characteristics, I therefore chose the Moog Eurorack 104 HP 17 model. Also, few days after placing an order, I received this:
Screws, and a power cable for Moog modules, are also provided. The nuts are already inserted in the rack rails. So I installed the two VCO modules to verify that they fit correctly in the rack :
It works fine!
The job is not finished because the rack is supplied without PSU. Thereby I can't really use this material as is. But I am also currently in the process of creating a power supply which I hope is the most versatile possible especially to supply this type of modules or to replace old power supplies for synthesizers.
