#TSR19

Here is part one of a three-part demonstration of the Moog Grandmother, created at the Synth Reactor event put on by Thomann.
From March 14 to March 17, Thomann held "Synth Reactor," a historic meeting of popular synth-related KZreadrs at their company in Treppendorf Germany. Thomann gave us the opportunity to make videos with their products, and meet with the companies that make them. It was an incredible event. Search for videos marked "#TSR19" to learn more.

    at Thomann this machine blew my socks off. before, i completely overlooked it.....and now its my favourite new synth. Its fucking awesome. and its a tank!!!!! the sound is sick, no crappy hidden functions, its mahooosive (which is definitely a good thing!) its got an arp that is right! finally!!! juno 6 style arp, nothing more and nothing less! AND A BUILT IN SPRING REVERB, i mean it cant get better for a combo style mono synth. This synth is basically the thing i wanted to find whilst looking through ebay for an old school synth related bargain. :O..... 1 thing i wish was the power supply was inside, and it was a kettle lead attachment at the back, and having a complaint about it as small as that its definitely ticking all the boxes...... plus its sturdy as fuck

    Not tried this out yet and I realise it's a different beast (no effects/patch options etc) but have you tried out any of the sub 37 range? Personally I love mine. Each time a own a new piece of equipment I appreciate its sound design options and build quality more and more - great attention to detail. My 1st and only Moog... and I have not been disappointed.

    I haven't seen a new demo video by you in a while -- it's so great to watch you demo synths, because you're a keys player. So many people nowadays demo everything by throwing a godamn techno sequence on and using that for the whole video, so you don't get to hear what the synth even sounds like with sustained notes. Thanx!

    Marc, I think you should have mentionned that the mixer is based on the CP3 circuit that saturates passed noon. And we can hear that on the Triangle wave at the beginning. That is an important component in the vintage Moog sound, imo.

    Hi Marc, I first discovered your stuff when I bought the Arturia Microbrute and came across your video series on the MB which I found really informative. I had a question, is it possible to link the microbrute up with the Grandmother (How)? Have you or anyone tried that and uploaded a video of the results? I would be interested to hear how a Steiner-Parker filter works in combination with the GM!

    I recently saw this Model D versus Voyager test on YT (Not reissue model D) and what intrigued me alot was how lively, unstable and interesting sound that the vintage Model D produced. The straight tone from the raw oscillator seemed, subjectively observed, to vary slightly in pitch thru time, or something. Very interesting and beautiful sound. Have you experienced this phenomenon yourself testing old versus new analog synthesizers, Moogs for instance? And If so, why do they sound that way in your opinion? Could gradual deterioration of old parts result in «happy imperfections» like that? And if so, could new parts be artificially aged by baking them or using chemical or other methods that replicate deterioration from ageing?

    Wonderful demonstration. Its tone is great, it looks wonderful and I’d really love to play it. One question though, in order to satisfy my vintage Moog needs, I bought a Leipzig-S some years ago. How would you say the two compare with respect to tone, sounds that can be created and playing experience? (By the way, your Leipzig videos made me realize what a great instrument it is.)

    I used to describe the Leipzig as “More Moog than modern Moog,” but since then, Moog rendered me incapable of saying that. The Leipzig is glorious in its Moogness.

    I think it's great. I'm a fan of his videos since around 2010, when I bought my first own synth (SH-3A from Japan) He had a demo of it on his channel and I eventually watched the majority of his output since then. I happen to like his persona here, so some "personal" moments are gold for me. That meme to me is like a thing you do among "friends" or in the community and don't we all love those moments? - I do =)@@SynthsandSounds
