I (Guitar player for many years) just bought my first analog synth and THIS video helped explain how the modules work better than many other videos. wow
10:44 That singing bit is actually useful, I really liked that more for vocal as you've shown! It reminds me of an old AM radio in my parent's cars/trucks when I was younger. Guitar would be useful to have something like this to age the sound a bit as well. I'm sure someone will have need for it!
cant believe there's not more videos of this being done...I was thinking of ways to play bass parts with my guitar for beats or any kind of synth sounds without getting that thing that attaches to your guitar...this is sick
Man this is the most inspiring GM video yet. Beyond just playing guitar through it, playing other synths through it..and vocals? Damn. Thanks so much for this one
I’ve been using my model D for this at my church gig. Using its resonant high pass filter to be modulated to taste by 2 different oscillators at different waves and speeds, as well as using the keyboard tracking with simple arps. All with dripping delay, phasing and/or flanging. I need a fucking Synthi with CV pedals for everything!!!
THANK YOU! This is the one video that cuts right to the chase, answering the primary questions succinctly & thoroughly. If only all content providers had your senses of hierarchy & economy; clarity & brevity. ☆☆☆☆☆
You can trigger the amp section with a drum pad trigger. Then, including your techniques, you can prerecord your guitar track and trigger the track with the sticks. Tons of fun!
Y’all know Steve Hillage? He’s the ultimate master of this kinda shit. Seriously married the guitar to the Synthi. Listen to the album Open for the guitar run through it’s beautiful filter to fantastic effect. green is great but more synth guitar rather than the guitar with filter modulation.
Get one of those midi guitar pickups, plug the midi out into the midi in on the Moog, use the LFO retrigger and envelope retrigger to get an autowah and anything else you want.
Cool video for sure. Vocal processing is really interesting and deserves it's own video tho! Still waiting for a demo of percussive loops to get the GM to double as a drum machine :)
Your vids are always a pleasure. It's testament to your efforts ( and others, of course: Bo and his "vijeos", Loop Loop etc) that as I watched I was saying " put the drone on" , "turn the oscillators down", " crank up the VCA", "add some LFO" almost before you did it. I have ordered a Grandmother 'cos its time to move up from my Monologue .
You should def do a video like "KORG MONOLOGUE AUDIO IN" but with Grandmother. It's still in my youtube favorites playlist! Just do a whole song running guitar, bass, drum machines, vocals or whatever u want through this Moog.
My Bass Station 2 has external inputs so I reckon I can do some of these with that, awesome. Love the vocals at the end. At 7.15 it sounds just like the Vox Repeat Percussion pedal that was built into some of their guitars. Very cool and inspiring.
Enjoyed this. I dont care about the tuning. The point is you gave me some great ideas. Great Stuff. What synth do you use on your signature once upon a time tune?
couple fucking GEMS along the way dude I don't think you realize how good some of that sounded. we don't have the same ear so there was a bit i didn't vibe with but shitttt
I actually did tune it believe it or not lol. I think I need to fix the guitar somehow cause even when every string is in tune, sometimes playing open chords sounds out of tune. I'm a piano player, so I'm less familiar with what might be the problem. I'll do some googling.
@@onceuponasynth I thought it sounded awesome. But before you go get somebody messin around with the truss rod, just check the intonation at the twelfth fret, and adjust the intonation at the bridge. The way you check it is you start at the e string and work your way across to the other e. Hit your open string, and then that same string at the twelfth fret, and just make sure it's an octave up. That just means they need to be the same note, just an octave up. If they aren't, you can detune the string, and adjust it at the bridge. you should watch a video on it, there are lots of them. Since you're more of a pianist, I know adjusting things like that are a much bigger deal for pianos because I play them too, but I promise guitar maintenance is much easier than piano maintenance
Lots of great ideas here! I already have a Novation Nova desktop, but I'm also just choosing on my next addition - Korg MS 20 mini, or maybe Behringer Neutron. My Nova accepts ext in, as do both the others I'm considering, I never really thought about using them this way. Plug in a guitar, filter it through, sample into my KP3, and move into a new loop... I need to get practicing. Thank you!
I was thinking of buying a synth for fun, but I'm also learning the guitar. I'm thinking I could get something like this now so I could mess around with different sounds. 8:53 had me interested. I'm also wondering if there might be other synths that I should consider too.
Can you utilize the noise generator, when running an instrument through? Just want to add some white noise to my instruments that don’t have that ability
You need to set up a gate to CV to trigger the VCA/VCF That way it will fire a note based on the level of audio input. I was doing this stuff forty years ago on a MiniMoog!
Nice demonstration! I think its the mixer that does the real magic here despite the spring and all.. It drives and distorts the clean signal very nicely.
yeah. the spring reverb is amazing on that unit... its for its own already a reason to buy this synth :-)... nice experiment... have fun using drums into it... dub hell .-))
Nebojša, have you tried utilising the Envelope section as an envelope follower via trig in? If it is possible, then definitely one more video, this time of course, classic George Clinton 70's funk when they would run a bass guitar thru the VCF and also trigger the envelope via that same guitar signal using envelope follower. Result: Instant funk bass BOMB! 😎
Oh that's interesting, I never thought of running audio through a trig in, but I guess in theory that would work as long as the audio signal crosses the gate threshold and if I sculpt the envelope appropriately. Mind=Blown. Thanks for the idea I'll definitely try this out!
Running my grandma through the Moogsynth
Sounds like that hurt
@Timothy Hensel Warm as a Moog yet dangerous as a Jaguar
Running my Moog synth through my grandma… I let her eat it and then let nature have it's way..
@@thiesenf Running my grandmother through an actual jaguar. Well, she should've run faster.
@Timothy Hensel There's more than you know.
I plugged my jack in my grandmothers back. It was great! The whole neighborhood could hear it
i just spat out my food
L lol
Thats...disgusting. lol
holy fuck
that must have been a glorious moment
Now I wanna learn how to play guitar so I can play this synth
do it!!
Some synths don't even have keys. You can have a lot of fun and not know how to play any instruments.
willystov like modular/buchla synthesizers! I do know how to play instruments, but you by no means need to be.
Haha, Imaginary ambition
hey horse man
I (Guitar player for many years) just bought my first analog synth and THIS video helped explain how the modules work better than many other videos. wow
somebody better make some cool ass psychadelic experimental album with this, even if i have to be that somebody
I'll help man
look up ‘Wand Lower Order’. Not using the GM but the guitar was run through a synth , and the whole album (1000 Days) is littered with it!
I'm working on it doode
everyone who did anything with this sample pls link it :3
Buy me a Moog Grandmother and a guitar.
Your grandmother has great taste in analog synths

I'm going to be picking me brain out of the carpet for a month because my mind was literally blown.

this sounds like something straight out of hylics
Yesss hylics is great
My exact thoughs lol. Hyped af for hylics 2

Well damn… As if I wasn’t already super excited to get a Grandmother now I’m flabbergasted 😍
I unplugged my grandmother's life support and plugged my Moog grandmother in instead.
You can trigger the amp section with a drum pad trigger. Then, including your techniques, you can prerecord your guitar track and trigger the track with the sticks. Tons of fun!
I’m a guitarist who just ordered a grandma …can’t wait to learn that thing
You could add a video of how to get that Beatles "Octopus' Garden" vocal sound that Ringo has on his voice.
RizeKrispy I always thought it was just John turning the intensity of the white noise on the Moog up and down
imagine having a moog grandmother on your guitar fx rig, on the pedal board.
Been doing this stuff for ages with a Microbrute, but I have to say, the Granny is very appealing.
Ah, me too! Guitar -> Superego -> Micro POG -> Microbrute is a great combination.
A bit of me doing that in my upcoming album. Such a fun thing to do
Man, it must sound so grungy with the Microbrute! Cool!
Y’all know Steve Hillage? He’s the ultimate master of this kinda shit. Seriously married the guitar to the Synthi. Listen to the album Open for the guitar run through it’s beautiful filter to fantastic effect. green is great but more synth guitar rather than the guitar with filter modulation.
Get one of those midi guitar pickups, plug the midi out into the midi in on the Moog, use the LFO retrigger and envelope retrigger to get an autowah and anything else you want.
Killer idea, kudos
Or use an ms-20 which has an envelope follower, or patch into an envelope follower module.
No midi really needed.
Every clip of this could be its own awesome song, this is so cool man
That spring reverb gives instant surf rock vibes!!!
Cool video for sure. Vocal processing is really interesting and deserves it's own video tho!
Still waiting for a demo of percussive loops to get the GM to double as a drum machine :)
7:45 sounds awesome!
I recommend you to check out Hologram Microcosm
I plugged my guitar directly into the AC wall outlet once
and lit my brains on fire!
8:53 is my favorite
Wow.Never thought of doing this, but now I will try it with the strat!
We live in amazing times! Can't wait to try this.
Thanks a lot for doing these GM videos. Every one has blown my mind. Great content.
That end bit rrally hit home
thats was fucking ace ! ill be getting this monster defo even if i sell my house and children to buy one, x

Just do a whole song running guitar, bass, drum machines, vocals or whatever u want through this Moog.
heh thanks man. I'll definitely consider that. I don't like the sound of my voice, so running it through synths gives me confidence.
once upon a synth :-))
DUDE HOW MANY OF THESE DO I HAVE TO BUY
all of them
I'm loving all the Grandmother jokes
Dude come on... tuning
Still, nice ideas.
In fact, youve just changed my life, lol. Thanks
4:02 sounds awesome, i bet this would be sick with bass too!
also I think it would be super useful to just bus recorded tracks into it, rather than playing it live, so you have your hands free
One of the best videos I’ve seen on this subject! Thanks!
TYSM for this! It really opened my eyes on how I can use my Moog to filter sounds from external sources.
That answers a whole lot of questions. Thanks.
The vocal stuff along with the guitar at the end is so cool!!!
Very cool! I'd love to experiment with using a 'freeze' pedal or a looper before the Moog so I've got both hands free for knob twiddling!
cheers mate!
My Bass Station 2 has external inputs so I reckon I can do some of these with that, awesome. Love the vocals at the end. At 7.15 it sounds just like the Vox Repeat Percussion pedal that was built into some of their guitars. Very cool and inspiring.
That's it I'm buying one, I'm mostly a guitar player but I love synths. This is better then any pedal board
awesome video, thank you
Love it! Wish you were running that into a twin reverb. Some tubes would liven it up a bit for sure.
Thank you for this video! You're way more helpful than the Grandmother manual.
Enjoyed this. I dont care about the tuning. The point is you gave me some great ideas. Great Stuff. What synth do you use on your signature once upon a time tune?
I love this review and tutorial I am looking into getting one of these in the future.
are you a time-traveler?
Two things I was looking for was a moog, and a spring reverb pedal for my guitar. Guess I'm getting this lol.
Nicely done, and very useful. Thank you!
The sequencer effect sounds so fucking good
haven't even started and i'm already emotional
couple fucking GEMS along the way dude I don't think you realize how good some of that sounded. we don't have the same ear so there was a bit i didn't vibe with but shitttt
This is a cool idea. Definitely trying this out.
7:20
this is genuinely amazing
8:52 this is so cool, how did you get that sound?
correct question would be: how can i get that sound with pedals? maybe lowpass+spring reverb?
upd: its hard to see knobs in the good angle, now i see filter and spring verb knobs turned on
I can make a guess, ring mod, filter, drive then reverb
Turning knobs.
@@ImOutsideTheBox I think he's got the white noise turned on as well
Tuning the guitar would've helped...
There's always one to comment on BS
I actually did tune it believe it or not lol. I think I need to fix the guitar somehow cause even when every string is in tune, sometimes playing open chords sounds out of tune. I'm a piano player, so I'm less familiar with what might be the problem. I'll do some googling.
@@onceuponasynth The intonation might be off. If it is that, you're gonna have to straighten the truss rod to fix it or just go to a music store.
@Zozzle: cool, thanks for the info, I'll prob go have someone take a look at it.
@@onceuponasynth I thought it sounded awesome. But before you go get somebody messin around with the truss rod, just check the intonation at the twelfth fret, and adjust the intonation at the bridge.

This is an amazingly helpful video man! Thank you for the knowledge!
wow you are opening worlds to me !
Brilliant! Like always! Thank you! ❤️
Well, this is the final straw. Hadn't QUITE settled on a Grandmother, but I am about to be a proud owner
The maxed out LFO Rate sounds make me very happy
Very helpful video. Thanks for making it!😃
if i connect my audio interface output (LINE OUT) to the instrument input, am I able to use the effects of the grandmother?
So cool!
I was thinking of buying a synth for fun, but I'm also learning the guitar. I'm thinking I could get something like this now so I could mess around with different sounds. 8:53 had me interested. I'm also wondering if there might be other synths that I should consider too.
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jack Whites next endeavour lol
Well, the Minimoog has been around since the 70's, and that thing could do what this does.
nonedescriptivepresence. no verb
Tone at 5:30 is face-melting! 😍🤯🤘
Can you utilize the noise generator, when running an instrument through? Just want to add some white noise to my instruments that don’t have that ability
Thanks for a cool demo man..
So cool. I have so got to get guitar lessons 🎸
This is awesome. Thanks
Moogerfooger'ing my Grandma with my Synth
Great stuff! Thanks
Creative use of synth. The Who used an ARP 2600 to similar effect.
Grandma elegant synthesis!
sounds like guitars from 90's
Which ones?
Some Velvet Underground vibes in there. Very cool.
Very interested. Thanks!
THE VOX AT THE END. So cool.
great demo. that last bit was tight - would love to hear a full song in that vain.
In a pinch, an Over-Drive or "clean boost" could be used to make the instrument signal hotter.
You need to set up a gate to CV to trigger the VCA/VCF
That way it will fire a note based on the level of audio input.
I was doing this stuff forty years ago on a MiniMoog!
Nice demonstration! I think its the mixer that does the real magic here despite the spring and all.. It drives and distorts the clean signal very nicely.
I'm having a hard time understanding how you're getting the Mic+Mixer+Synth to work together
Thank you!
yeah. the spring reverb is amazing on that unit... its for its own already a reason to buy this synth :-)... nice experiment... have fun using drums into it... dub hell .-))
ooh that white noise knob would be good for a nice sweep before the part change.
Could you also run a synth through this synth and showcase the results?
Running my Grandmother through the Grandmother.
Seems like lots of the semi modular might be able to do some of this.Thanks!
I am selling all my guitar pedals now.... one machine to rule them all.
are you working on an album? loving all your videos
Cool thanks for this video
This is very nice! Would love to try my Les Paul Studio through one.
Have you ever tried this with a Korg MS20 mini? Cheers.
