A drone is not necessarily a stuck note

Moog's continuous-sound checklist starts with stopping the sequencer and selecting EG at the VCA switch. Check these before assuming the instrument is receiving stuck MIDI notes.

Sequences and sound settings

Mother-32 stores sequences, but not sound presets. A recalled sequence does not restore the knobs or patch cables. Keep a patch sheet if you want to recreate a sound.

Documented Mother-32 sync

Moog's multi-unit example patches the leading unit's ASSIGN output to the following unit's TEMPO input. It requires setup changes at both ends; follow the official article for the full procedure.

This is a manufacturer-described patch, not a setup we have physically tested. Do not treat an arbitrary MIDI-to-CV interface as compatible without checking its own documentation.
