# Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32 Case: **Moog 4-tier**. Each unit is used once. Source: original Jack labels from the Labyrinth Manual, the Mother-32 Users Manual and the DFAM User Guide (Moog/inMusic). Signal path explained: [[Patches/Moog/Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32 - SignalPath|SignalPath]] Incremental build: [[Patches/Moog/Moog - Labyrinth Leads Mother-32 - Build|Build]] ## Modules - Moog Labyrinth: generative brain and answering voice - Moog Mother-32: lead voice - Moog DFAM: 8-step drum loop on the Labyrinth clock **Cable colors:** [[Cable Colors]] after [Learning Modular](https://learningmodular.com/choosing-patch-cables/): ⚪ Gray 1 V/oct · 🔵 Blue modulation · 🟡 Yellow audio · 🔴 Red gates/triggers · 🟢 Green clock/sync · ⚫ Black external ## Cables 1. ⚪ Gray · Labyrinth SEQ1 CV (out, quantized, −5 to +5 V) -> Mother-32 VCO 1V/OCT (in) 2. 🔴 Red · Labyrinth SEQ1 TRIG (out, 0 to 5 V) -> Mother-32 GATE (in, 0 to 5 V) 3. 🔵 Blue · Labyrinth SEQ2 CV (out) -> Mother-32 VCF CUTOFF (in) 4. 🟢 Green · Labyrinth CLOCK (out, 0 to 5 V) -> DFAM ADV / CLOCK (in) 5. ⚫ Black · Listen at all three rear 1/4″ outputs on a mixer. ## Starting points - **Labyrinth:** - Pick a scale with BIT SHIFT + BIT FLIP on SEQ1 (minor or pentatonic). - SEQ1 CV RANGE 9 to 10 o'clock; the manual says about 9 o'clock gives roughly an octave. SEQ1 LENGTH 7, SEQ2 LENGTH 5. - CORRUPT on SEQ1 at 10 o'clock for slow mutation. Save a good one with BUFFER. - Its own voice: EG TRIG MIX fully CW, so it only speaks on SEQ2's triggers, with VCO FREQUENCY an octave above the Mother-32. - **Mother-32:** - Sequencer stopped in KB mode, keys untouched. Labyrinth's CV sums with the KB CV. - VCO WAVE SAW, CUTOFF 10 o'clock, RESONANCE 12 o'clock, VCF MOD AMOUNT 0. - ATTACK fully CCW, DECAY 11 o'clock, SUSTAIN OFF, VCA MODE EG. A little GLIDE. - **DFAM:** a plain kick, snare and noise pattern over its 8 steps. TEMPO is ignored on an external clock. ## Level notes - The Labyrinth TRIG outputs are short triggers, so the Mother-32 note length comes from DECAY, not from gate length. ## What it should sound like A wandering Mother-32 lead that stays in key and slowly mutates. The Labyrinth's sine-and-fold voice answers on its own 5-step pattern. DFAM loops 8 steps under a 7-step lead, so the phrases slide past each other.
