Best demo of this yet.
Thank you!! This is the best tutorial on this extremely incredible instrument that changed the world forever. Cheers!
Thanks for explaining all that! It was helpful to be walked through from beginning to end!
I always wondered what was going on with Keith Emerson's Modular Moog, and your video gave me an idea of what all that spaghetti mess was doing.
Finally, it's clear bravo!
I have a softsynth moog modular v3 from arturia and it is my favorite place to be... like an 8 hour drooling session ✌️😜💙
Same here! If I don't have anything else to do, I will get lost on there for literally HOURS. For a regular joe like me, it's probably the closest I'll get to owning one of these legends.
very good thanks
an education thanks for the video
That thing must be fun to play with.
I would not put my System 55 and other gear near humid walls and under any kind of pipes that may leak one day....
Very clear explanatiom. But now 2020 also scho king how far we ve progressed with eurorack from here.
Incredible machine. For who think nowadays synths are hard to configurate (like me)...
'That'll be 20k bucks please' '
'Thanks' WWEEEEEEOOOOOOBRRRRRRWUWUWUWUWU
Kim Runic well got work hard or hit a lottery
or you study electronics and build your own. :3
Are those water pipes right above all the expensive electronics? 😬
How is the keyboard connected to the modules?
It's connected at the back of the cabinet. The CV outputs from the keyboard is accessible at the front from the CP2 module on the lower right side, next to the power switch module.
It is connected to the back with a cable and has voltage control (1v/oct) pre-wired into the two oscillator banks (those coloured switches left of the mixers). Also there are voltage out and trigger out jacks to the right of the interface panel which can be patched to other things.
What is the advantage of a so complicated way of producing sounds? Hybrid modern synths are an evolution of this cables playground, or do they miss something the 55 still does better?
Matteo Gazzolo I am a total laymen but having listened to plenty modular synth pieces, there is something to the depth of the sound that you do not hear from digital works. Like you can almost hear the individual electrons crackling around
@@mattmmilli8287 thank you, this is something to think about when listening carefully. :-)
Matteo Gazzolo After spending many long nights with my Subsequent 37 I think it is somewhere in between the uniqueness of the analogue sound and creating something new that gets you inspired which leads to new melodies etc.
I also use modern (soft) synths, but the deep sound of those oscillators through a good pair of headphones or (even better) our PA is something special 😄
@@tricks-and-tips I understand this point and sincerily wish to experience this uniqueness soon . Thank you! :-)
Well, back in the early days of electronic music production, they didn't have all the fancy Synths that are available nowadays, synths like the one in this video were the only ones available, remember this was back in the early to mid 1960's, the history of electronic music actually goes back to the 1920's with the invention of the first electronic musical instrument, the Theremin, by Russian physicist Lev Termen, the Theremin was an electronic musical instrument you played without even touching it.
God dammit the intro is SO LOUD!!!
Man. I remember seeing an original one. This guy wanted 50 grand for it.
They are kinda like the Ferrari 250 GTO of synthesizer world, after all.
moue-gh
What a pain that looks. Setting up a similar patch on a Yamaha CS-30 takes a few seconds and you don't need any cumbersome cables to achieve the routing and trigger signals. Am i the only synth person who thinks Moog's are over rated?
It's quite difficult to cook from scratch, but ALL the great chefs do that. Cake mix is easier and produces a decent result, but it's not a high-quality result. Different options for different things - a Ferrari is not good for carrying lumber or mileage, either. The CS30 sounds like a toy compared to it, when good audio is used. If you've not used on of these in person, you can't really know how they sound.
Andy Jeffs there is a place for both I guess.
If something gets you inspired that’s all that matters right?
Some will love the journey of creating unique sounds more than the destination and get inspired along the way by something unique that gets them excited.
I don’t think I’m one of them, but I love to tweak my Subsequent 37 for hours (although that is mostly hard wired) and some nice melodies came out of that knob turning
@@tricks-and-tips very nice reply, i agree it's not the destination that is important. For me when i use a synth its getting lost in the journey through time and space.
@@briankehew579 using a moog is like making a meal with an unreliable cooker. You can never quite tell how the meal is gonna turn out, which is fine because we all like experimenting.....perhaps moogs are more reliable now cos my experience is one of drifting oscillators and failing power supplies, not good when your band would like you to be in tune and audible
Different approaches to music make the world a better place. Regarding patching a modular synth, I once read Hans Zimmer talk about how he enjoys the moments of time it takes to plug in the cables that allows him to think about the next step and what he is trying to achieve with the patch, and that statement changed my enjoyment of modular for the better. Whenever I'm getting rushed to make music, I revert back to this principle, and slow it down. Of course he also said that modular is for people who have the luxury of time.
So basically the guy speaks for 10 minutes out of 11 minutes, create a pretty basic patch and doesn't even record it from the actual line in...! Pretty sad for such a legendary and expensive synth... :.(
Good point. It actually was recorded direct and mixed in, but probably should have killed the ambience from his lav too. Hopefully we can get some samples from this beast soon.
Too much money for Nintendo Super Mario sounds.
You can do more with a modular synth than any instrument, watch “look mum no computer” playing one of these in Dublin, waaaaaay more than just Mario sounds.
This isn't anywhere even remotely close to what these are capable of. Also check out Daniel Fisher's demo to see more of it.
This patch was basically the "Hello world" intro patch. Try watching some other folks get way more complicated sounds. Junkie XL does some more in depth demos and explains things well.
so basicly you need to spend hours plugings spaggetis... into little jack and turning knob to get some very simple boring pattern and weird sound.
id rather sit at a piano and make music.
