Hello again, Daniel! We have been in touch earlier. Excuse me for two (late) stupid questions again. If I have understand you right, the oscillators send out a tone, and then you modify it. Is it because of this it's called subtractive? Is it the same thing with my (Moog) Sub 37? Musically yours Liselotte Frejdig in Karlstad, Sweden.

In 1969, I got to work with the Moog III at Philadelphia Music Academy. Every ten to twenty minutes or so, the oscillators had to be adjusted to maintain pitch, as the electronics at that time wasn't stable enough to maintain pitch when resistance and temperature changes occurred! Great instrument. I also got to visit Robert Moog in his factory in Trumansburg, NY. Amazing place; amazingly geeky lovable person!

I've heard stories of how bands would achieve a certain sound with them, then we're never able to reproduce it again because the programmer forgot how they plugged the cables in. They almost had a "record this quick" mentality because obviously you could replay the recording back later as a lay down or sample track. Very interesting stories came out of working with this amazing machine. You could mess with it for hours and achieve all kinds of ethereal sounds.

@G Probably at least partially because "In the year 1964, the first modern synthesizer that was commercially available was introduced by Robert Moog." The very first audio synthesizer was designed a bit earlier, though, 1876, with the first programmable version by RCA in 1964. Moog hit the market in '64, and Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach in '68. Likely a good part of the reason. Building a synth is not difficult for an electrical engineer, it's basically just oscillators and various filters other types of signal processors, and a lot of patching or switching capabiity. Piece of cake if you understand Kruschev's current and voltage laws. ;-) I'm not really sure one would sound all that much different from another, given they are probably similar designs with mostly the same parts, at least early on. But then, there are still morons out there that insist vinyl records "sound better" than the highest calibur digital sound available...and then they listen to it on the equivalent of a "close and play". They are the ones that buy speaker connecting wire that costs THOUSANDS of dollars, there is a sucker born every minute (thousands of them, actually). I expect if you wanted to do a serious design now, you might go at it digitally, where you can do stuff you CAN'T do (in a practical sense) with purely analog equipment...you could even do it on a PC with virtual knobs and patch cords, and some app specific cards/DAC's/etc. if you wanted to. Not sure why you would, though.

Oh boy...1980/ 1992 flashbacks here! I've heard a lot of favourite electronic/wave, house, gabber and techno record sounds come by! ❤

even over a youtube video, that sound is incredible. such crazy bass in the oscillators.

This is very nice. $35,000 is actually quite reasonable for this type of instrument. I mean, some Steinway 9 foot grand pianos can go for like $70,000, and nobody makes much fuss about it. I mean, I can do most of the stuff I will ever need with my D-50. Even thought it's a digital synthesizer (70% of its development was software) it really sounds analog. Of course the Moog in this video I am sure has much more cleaner sound. The D-50 hiss level was even criticized back in 1987 when the instrument was introduced. Anyway, very nice video. Nice too see Moog modular in brand-new condition, not run down like most of the stuff you get off eBay.

Still I gotta say, LOVE THAT SWEET ANALOG TONE.

@MacXpert74

Hmm, No I don't think so. When digital synths came around 30 years ago, they offered something new. Sounds and possibilities that musicians didn't have before. Because everybody likes a new toy, they traded their analog synths for digital ones. However, now everybody is used to and well aware of the possibilities of digital synths (and VSTs etc.) But also the limits of digital stuff. That's why analog has made a comeback. Not to replace digital synths, but rather as an additional tool for flexible sound creation.

@dvamateur

Moog is very nice and all, but since we have like at least 5 main synthesis methods, closing oneself down to subtractive synthesis only, it's quite limiting in my opinion. If one has $35,000 for a subtractive synth, one should also have the same for a Fairlight additive and sampling, Synclavier (I believe additive and FM, and sampling, too) and $30,000 for Yamaha VP1 physical modeling synthesizer. Then the system would be better balanced than buying all subtractive synthesizers only, which seems so prevalent nowadays. I'd far prefer to have my system balanced to cover all synthesis methods: say Kawai K5 for additive, Casio FZ-1 for pseudo additive, waveform drawing, sampling, and subtractive, Yamaha DX7II for FM, Roland D-50 with PG-1000 programmer for subtractive synthesis, and Casio VZ-1 for phase distortion, and Yamaha VL1 for physical modeling. Of course my ultimate dream synth would still be the VP1, with polyphonic physical modeling. Let me put it that way, if I won the lottery I probably wouldn't by the Moog. It's nice and all, but I'd more likely lean towards the VP1 or Fairlight CMI series II or III and have he D-50 cover my subtractive needs.

@MacXpert74

9 жыл бұрын

Andrew Piatek Yes, except that a digital synth don't have to be that expensive anymore. Back in the days of the Fairlight and Synclavier computer chips, especially memory chips, where really expensive. Adding a few megabytes of memory to a Fairlight in the early eighties cost a fortune. Nowadays it can all be done with small chips at the cost of a few dollars. Analog is a different story though. Especially when they recreate a vintage synth like the Moog 15/35/55. All those discrete and sometimes hard to find components are reflected in the high price.

As far as I am aware, the Fairlight CMI series-II reissues is flat fee $20,000 available from Mr. Vogel. Synclav seems to have died away somewhere in Massachussets probably?

If the the newly released Sequential Prophet-6 with VCO's is similar, then the Prophet stands for Profit there. MS-20 mini and new ARP Odyssey are probably analog (although Dave Smith says it's just stupid to use analog chips for envelopes) and both within $1,000 range. My point is that the integrated circuits make the analog technology very cheap, too. Having said that, the $35,000 price tag for Moog 55 is not outrageous. After all this is what a fine Yamaha grand piano will cost you. And nobody seems to make any fuss about that, so not sure why would anybody make any fuss around the Moog, and neither do I. I am just saying that it makes more sense to have representives of all forms of synthesis, as opposed to just subtractive. But of course, I respect anybody buying the new Moog modulars. I am just saying that if I won a lottery, I wouldn't but the Moog. I'd try to gind Yamaha VP1 isntead, and maybe even contact Mr. Vogel about his Fairlight.

Andrew Piatek I think the new Fairlight is actually way overpriced. I just looked at the website and he's asking a whopping $25.000 for it. Ouch! Even with the nice keyboard, monitor and the limited production number it should not cost more than say $6000-8000 in my opinion. I think mister Vogel is just really trying to cash in on the name Fairlight. Different from the Moog, it's not an exact reissue of the original, but rather a new instrument based on the look and feel of the original. With modern chips and production, the cost should be a lot lower than back in the eighties. The Fairlight basically being a sampler, I don't see why you would really want to have this compared to more modern sampling options. Except for the cool look maybe. The Dave Smith instruments are also new designs, allowing him like you said to use more integrated electronics and keep the price relative low. I would BTW not call the Prophet 12 analog. It's got digital oscillators. The filter is still the CEM one, but the sound is still very cold and digital in my opinion. The Prophet 6 on the other hand looks quite promising. The Moog 15/35/55 are different because they are exact replicas of the original. Using the original circuit design and parts instead of relying on cheap integrated technology, makes all the difference. So yes I do think the price on those is not outrages taking this in consideration. They are unfortunately out of my price range though :( And yes I agree there is a place for all types of sound generators, analog and digital. I like both for different reasons.

Crazy I just looked it up and this thing is $35,000 man!!!!!

The Hot Pink Vegan You should consider Synthesizers.com systems. Somewhat cheaper with essentially the same power as the Moog.

Very cool stuff brother! As a longtime fan of ELP I love the sounds & creativity afforded by synth's.

I bet even Moog himself didn't know the full potential of these beasts.

Hi Joe. The beauty of large modular synths is that no one will ever exploit their full possible potential. There will always be some new idea discovered on them. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

4:42 anyone else expect him to break into “Riding The Storm Out”?

It’s amazing that just sticking a bunch of wires into different inlet/outlets and twisting a few knobs and u have music and, then you hear you messing around a little bit with it and u can kind of sort of hear so many familiar noises and sounds from a lot of iconic and classic songs in all different genres of music and u see home much work went into getting the instrument so make the right noises to make the desired sound.... it’s not just about sticking some wires in random holes and u got a song.. a lot of hard work and time it takes to refine that perfect sound!! Good stuff!!! keep on rocking!!

The excitement of this guy reliving his previous experience makes this

Beautiful!! Beyond words.

Fantastic - so many possibilities. I wish I had an ounce of musical talent

you are a synth lord sir!!!!

Great demo, thanks. It is amazing to me the variety of sounds that come (came) from such a machine, with so few differing functions. You listen to stuff like Wakeman's from the early Moog time period and he made sounds that were totally recognizable (not perfect obviously) as vocal choirs, as opposed to anything else. I remember the "old man" getting Wendy Carlos' Switched on Back when it first came out, and hearing the Moog for the first time on a rather awesome system he built (15 Altecs, the GOOD ones, 800 cycle horns in large cabinets, home designed and built amps with electronic crossovers (an engineer), and a crow bar overcurrent shutdown on the horns so you could POUND the things without fear of damage, in a paneled 24' X 24' Fl room built mostly for the stereo system, a fireplace, and a place to put the pool table). I was blown away the first time I heard both the stereo and the Switched on Bach (later), and just about played the oxide off that reel to reel tape (there were many many brown alcohol filled q tips)...those were the days....and so are these. And the pipe organ on those woofers...not quite my current Velodyne Servo subs equal, but awesome, nonetheless. An aside, when the wall sconce filaments were starting to get crummy in the livingroom wall sconces, the kids would always want me to "finish" them off with the sub, and my daughter, when she was young, called it the CyberWolf, instead of subwoofer...I thought that was awesome, too.

I love how the oscilator in the start just ruins my molecular structure... I need to get a small one

Hi Giorgi. The oscillators in the Moog Mother-32, Grandmother, and Matriarch, are a great way to achieve this. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

this is weird man i feel like im hearing real sounds for the first time in my life

it really sounded good through my system... i need some more unmixed/not compressed live synth in my life.

WOW that"s an awesome synth and serious knob twiddling

Exellent demo, thanks!

Thank you sincerely for making this video.

Thanks Demetrius. I had a really good time making it. And thanks for watching!

That thing is one righteous piece equipment, definitely lne of greatest wonders of man's creativity. I could literally spend all my life with a Moog synth and explore only a fraction of the infinite soundscapes it can produce. I actually got here by listening to Mort Garson, one of the finest Moog synth players I know. Some of his stuff is beyond jawdropping and way ahead of its time for 1971, pure wizardry.

These humans. Quite amazing they are.

Now i get it! That was master level craftsman ship that took us on a lil journey.... TV hsnks for sharing this

I wish there was a record like that to fall asleep to. I want to dream where no man has dreamed before.

Holy shit the fixed filter bank.

Even thru shitty laptop speakers, the quality of the oscillators and filters on this Moog is there. A fine demo indeed :-), thanks!

This guy is a 70's rock god in his soul

Hi aaronchapdelaine. It's because I was born in 1962 :-) -_Daniel_

This modular synth is literally the father of all synthesizers. I mean with these complexities, you can create sounds that are just so damn out of this world
