    In this video, electronic music and sound design pioneer Suzanne Ciani explores the Moog modular System 55 for the first time in decades. Ciani came to the Moog factory in Asheville, NC to play the first System 55 newly handcrafted by Moog in over thirty years. The patch, created and performed live, was shot in one take and features a sequence designed on the 960 Sequential Controller that's driving three 921B oscillators into a 904B High Pass filter whose cutoff is being modulated by a 921 oscillator. A second set of 921B oscillators is also being played manually into a 904A Low Pass filter whose cutoff knob is also being modulated by the 921 oscillator. The resulting sound of each is then sent through its own dedicated MF-104M analog delay for ambience. The audio has been captured directly with no eq, compression, or editing applied.

    It's so sad moog only released a very small limited run of these reproductions of the 55. I really, really want one. I hope they make them again one day

    Suzanne Ciani continues to amaze me with her synthesizers skills. There is something about her sequences that really sounds unique. Awesome song too. She needs to do more of this. I know she's good at the piano but synthesizers is where she belongs. If she went on tour with this, I'd buy my ticket in a heartbeat. Damn that was good, wish it was longer.

    Really great use of the modular for both melody and atmospherics. She's one of the greats for a reason.

    A legend! I agree with Alba's comment below about proper use of a modular. It blows my mind that so many people have built amazing systems only to create beeps, hoops and sounds that rip your skin and NOT music.

    Suzanne has this rare talent of both putting together a complete piece of music using a modular synth and also making it all sound not only musical but also beautiful.

      Michael Bauers: Yeah, I guess these run about $35k w/o KB? Way out of my league for sure. I still appreciate the Moog heritage and the build quality / design of these units. I am, and will have to be, happy with much less.

    That was a trip. The bass growl made my balls itch LOL...it was that guttural. Put me down for 10 sys 55's LOL. Seriously, this is what music needs now - some infinite variability. Thanks Suzanne - great jam. One thing though about these lovely old style systems - do they come with the same tuning instability as rigs of yore? Anyway...out with the upright in my loungeroom...I want THIS piece of sonic furniture to replace it for those family peyote singalongs around the Moog.

    This was all nice and delightfull and we all know the Moog Modular systems excels at stuff like this. However I would really like to see a video where it is used in a modern context. Can it also dish out a phat dubstep baseline and some high powered leads that gives it a place in a modern studio other than just for "those classic sounds"?

    • @sirdonalddust4088
      @sirdonalddust4088 9 лет назад +23

      Of course it can. Dubstep basslines are rather simple modulated patches.
      This could do a dubstep bass line so fat, it would make it look like Albert went on a diet.

    • @MrCravon
      @MrCravon 9 лет назад

      I don't think you realize the complexity that goes in to some of these bass sounds. Why so narrow minded?

  • @albywelch
    @albywelch 6 лет назад

    I am seriously thinking about selling my va and digital synth and going completely analog. Although my only analog (even if it has digital features) is sub 37, it's sound quality kicks the digital and va. Analog is alive, it has no stepping, it's rich, it has space....depth. digital has stepping and aliases in higher freq esp when sweeping pitch with osc sync. Just makes me the synth is not of high quality when I hear these 2 things...but true analog...my god the space and depth...

    • @agustinmuerto
      @agustinmuerto 6 лет назад

      the best idea, for me, is to have the best of both worlds. there are regions where analog gear can't go, and FM, wavetables, samples, granular synthesis, etc. all give unique textures that can't be replicated with analog gear. and there are a lot of powerful digital synths doing that.
      what I find a pity is when digital gear is relegated to imitate or trying to replace analog... you'll never get it 100% right and that's wasting the potential of digital synthesis in my opinion.
