How on earth do you have that minimoog mounted? You scared me half to death when I thought it was going to hit the ground! Must be worth a few fair thousand.
This is really valuable because you are describing WHY you are choosing the settings, not just WHICH settings you are using like 90% of the synth programming videos I've seen. When you mimicked a bass being plucked whilst talking about the tiny bit of attack, and the sustain on the soulful bass patch, it was immediately obvious that you were recreating the amplitude envelope that plucking a string causes. Such great subtle but powerful teaching. Thanks 👍
The Minimoog is simply a beauty of a synth, always loved it due to it's very distinctive bass sounds. This synth was and still is ahead of it's time. Simply legendary!
The reason why i love the Minimoog is that it's the first Compact Synthesizer ever but it doesn't feel old or outdated. You don't see that often that the first model of an invention still is one of the best after over 50 years.
Great to watch you break down what us long-term owners learned instinctively over so many years. The MiniMoog Model D is still the greatest piece of space-age tech ever released onto musicians. I've done whole tracks (bar cymbals of course) with mine.
3 month ago i stumbled across your videos. Now i own 3 synthesizers and, thanks to you, know how to use them. Thank you so much for your explanations and inspirations. I am having so much fun playing the keys after almost 20 years of abstinence. Keep up the good work🎹
I really liked this video. Not only does he explain what he's setting the controls to, but he also explains why, so that you can understand more about how the minimoog works.
The Minimoog is mind blowing, super entertaining watching and hearing you manipulate it. The machine is nothing without someone like you that knows how to make it do whatever... endless sounds. Excellent enthusiasm. You got a new subscriber!
And as an addition to the Mini Moog vs Behringer D discussion: At the time the Behringer came out I decided to opt for the Roland SE-02 instead as the price difference wasn't that much and the SE has a lot of additional features, Sequencer, cross modulation, preset storage and build in delay, to name a few. I really would recommend to take a look at it.
great content from u as always! i was surprised to discover you’re based in London, where i too live! hopefully i’ll see you somewhere some day, would be amazing !
I read a french book from Laurent de Wilde (French musician, radio animator and more), title is : les fous du son (sound freaks). In particular, he talks about Bob Moog, the creator of the minimoog. Many thanks for this video, which demonstrates your talent and this incredible instrument! I'm a guitarist and I've been discovering the world of synthesis for some time now, and I'm a fan! Hello from France 🇫🇷 🎸😎
Great stuff and very inspiring as always. I managed to rebuild the sounds 1:1 on my SE-02, with the difference that it has an LFO section, so I used that instead of OSC3.
I actually thought for a while that the Minimoog was out of date. I can definitely revise that. This machine is still a very good synthesizer today, which leaves almost nothing to be desired.
Always fun and entertaining to watch! You have to admit though, a lot of the classic minimoog performances come down to solid playing and technique. These days quite a few synths can bring you that sound, but the minimoog's quirks even force you to play a certain way (like the fact that the envelopes won't re-trigger).
One of the first songs I remember that had a bunch of synthesizer and other keyboard work on it was from the Steve Miller band - Fly Like an Eagle. The space ship sounds were very memorable still to this day. I would have to say that song started my interest in electronic music. I discovered all the other bands that used a lot of electronic synthesizer sounds after hearing the original Steve Miller version of Fly Like an Eagle. I would like to see a deep analysis on how they did the keyboard work on that track.
Nice catch!😲 I sometimes use "tool kit liner" to stack stuff. Its a rubber material that is cheap, easy to cut, porus (heat) and really holds stuff in place. Fun video as always👊
Your studio is pushing me to break a commandment😈(Covet) and turning me a shade of👽. I guess I will have to play a few verses of Hallelujah and find some rosary beads to chuck over my shoulder.😇 Play On
@@markwelsh9068 The mini Moog is very simple and does the bread and butter sounds better than any synth. it also has the best building blocks the oscillators and the filter are a thing of beauty. this was only a demonstration of common sounds which were created and used a lot. you can do very subtle organic sounds like flutes harps bagpipes and plucks. add some reverb to those sounds and they sound like the real instruments they are synthesizing. they're a fantastic film score synth and only the CS80 can compare to the organics and the beauty they're epic sounding.
Doctor, I'm a big fan your synth videos and demos! an the Minimoog is one of my fav synths :) but... when are we gonna get a video about your wardrobe? Killer shirt... you're a man of style!
What an excellent video. Couldn't resist more than 30 seconds, pulled my synth out and went with you along that :) I don't have a moog, but the MiniBrute can get really close.
Another wonderful video. I just love your bright enthusiasm. However, as an old school tech, I need to mention one trick you might just have forgotten. Probably invented by Jan Hammer: Take a jack cable, and feed the low output back into the external nput, tweak the level so that the external input overload light is just flickering. You now have a built in overdrive to the filter, dirties up the sound really well. If you listen to some of Jan Hammer's work maybe on Billy Cobhams 'Stratus', you might hear it. Thanks for an inspiring video. I need to get my 'Crowminius' DIY clone finished.
Hi Claudio, You've been to meetings all over the world but your show is the best, you do everything the best , Your presentation of Michael Jackson Thriller or Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre was a Masterpiece !!!!! Greetings from Germany Wolfgang
Always love watching your channel.!!! You have soo much enthusiasm playing your synths.!!! I love my early '74 Mini too.!!!... "One Synth to rule them all".
I have the Poly D. Highly recommended if you want to get your feet wet. The mini moog is definitely warmer and better quality overall but the Poly D does the same thing. A very cool and useable toy for making music.
Hahaha I just executed all the instructions right away :D Thubs up, bell (because it turned out the bell wasn't engaged... which is a crime) and all right away. Claudio you're such a persona 😂 Much love!
Excellent demo, Claudio! 🙂 I really like how you created all the sounds "on the spot". The "Super Lead" tone reminded me of "The Rockford Files" theme tune and "Nutbush City Limits" (Tina Turner) 😋
An excellent demo and a great channel. I wonder if someone could suggest the typical Rick Wakeman’s settings? I heard it’s 3 oscillators at once, covering 3 octaves and obviously, glide, but I’d appreciate some more specifics. Many thanks!
Wow it sound incredible! ... you know I always play your videos. Some times at the beginning i didn't understand too much but finally you make it! I don't know how i got involved in the songs you play... bro you are really an artis 💪
I played one in my band in college and I loved that thing... except when it went haywire in the middle of a song! But I still use Minimoog inspired sounds to this day. Great video as is ALWAYS the case.
Why you have only 676K subscribers ? your chanell need 2 millions MINIMUM ^^ I love your channel i learn a lot about synthesizers thks you ^^ Grettings from belgium by an electrician , DJ when have a time and beat maker love old /vintage componments ^^ a 1977 boy :)
Hi Claudio, thank you for sharing these guides on how to create these sounds on Minimoog, I don't have one unfortunately but I have a Matrixbrute and your guidance works very well on Matrixbrute too, especially the Nr1 sound also sounds very good on MB , with onboard Delay, etc

Agreed. Not just "hey set the knobs like this," but "this is what happens when I set the knobs like this, and this is why you might want to do that."
The Minimoog is simply a beauty of a synth, always loved it due to it's very distinctive bass sounds. This synth was and still is ahead of it's time. Simply legendary!
its in the top ten of all time easy lol.
@@lowlowseesee It is in the Top 10, but there were better Synth´s which Georgio Marauder used...
The reason why i love the Minimoog is that it's the first Compact Synthesizer ever but it doesn't feel old or outdated. You don't see that often that the first model of an invention still is one of the best after over 50 years.
From Herbie Hancock to Claudio, the MiniMoog and Rhodes combination is always super great sounding and looking!
I can listen to your Rhodes playing all day long. Their was a time when the Rhodes was all over the airwaves…miss those days.
Your enthusiasm always puts a smile on my face 🙂
Great that you are showing everything on an oscilloscope, helps a lot with understanding the sound character.
great video for people who only heard a mini. I still have mine I bought in 79 used and she is still rocking today.
Great to watch you break down what us long-term owners learned instinctively over so many years.
The MiniMoog Model D is still the greatest piece of space-age tech ever released onto musicians.
I've done whole tracks (bar cymbals of course) with mine.
Right? It’s really a timeless piece of equipment and just as relevant today as when it first appeared.
3 month ago i stumbled across your videos. Now i own 3 synthesizers and, thanks to you, know how to use them.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that you got one of these to show us the ways! Dr. Mix 🐐
The original and one the absolute best!!! Love it. ❤️❤️❤️
crazy.... i used to watch this guy when i was tryna mix on my numark mixdeck... now this dude got a huge ass studio.. this is amazing
Moog is a beautiful friend for a lifetime
Adam Holzman did some great work on Moog on my actual album😀
Loving the Minimoog... Especially Stephan Bodzin's tunes with this synth making his signature sound...

Nice demonstration. Cheers from Cincinnati, USA
great content from u as always! i was surprised to discover you’re based in London, where i too live! hopefully i’ll see you somewhere some day, would be amazing !
Claudio this was not just a demo but real entertainment...the music and your arrangements with this classic synth was pure joy...thanks so much 🤗😎👍🏻

Hello from France 🇫🇷 🎸😎
Wakeman and Doctor mix are my favorite players ever :) quite different styles, but both showing why mini moog came for :)
Thank you so much for this!! Love the Minimoog!! I have to try some of these when I'm in front of my favorite VST plugins.
Well done!! Covers a wide variety of sounds . Thank you!!
No one can beat Dr Mix - always great entertainment and informative - I always smile. 😊❤
Those first couple collapsing spaceship sounds were super cool. It’s like they’re pulling in separate directions.
I just love shine on with that perfectly balanced cut-off and attack and vibrato more than anything
Thanks for the fun doc. And also for reminding me of how great the Mini is...and always will be.
I don’t play any instruments but I am a huge fan of electronic music. I absolutely love your channel❤️🔥❤️🔥
Another amazing video! Thanks a lot!
Moog have and always will make some of the best synths 🎹♥
First class content Dr. Mix!! You're the Max man!!
Amazing!!🤩 My Moog Prodigy is always with me since 35 years..🥰 and i love it!!
Minimoog the sacred beast, thanks Maestro Claudio
3:34 The "Soulfull Bass" would be a great replacement for the "Lately Bass" of the TX81Z known from most of the 90's Eurodance tracks... :-D
Muy bueno como siempre. Felicitaciones
I just downloaded the plugin this days, and I'm loving this synth. I learn a lot on it, it looks very simple
which one
@@Lennie_peled Arturia one!
Great stuff and very inspiring as always. I managed to rebuild the sounds 1:1 on my SE-02, with the difference that it has an LFO section, so I used that instead of OSC3.
That last one put a smile on my face!
Nada que decir, que ganas de tener el tiempo para aprender a tocar estos instrumentos. Gracias por tus vídeos, desde Chile 🇨🇱.

Gotta hand it to Dr. Mix. He makes learning fun!
Nice catch!😲 I sometimes use "tool kit liner" to stack stuff. Its a rubber material that is cheap, easy to cut, porus (heat) and really holds stuff in place. Fun video as always👊
This is great. I'm buying a Panda Future Impact and this will be helpful in understanding how to sculpt different sounds.
Great video and the last song was really awesome!
Excellent video!
I was 100% certain @12:00 you were gonna play "You dropped a bomb on me.", but what you did play was also awesome.
Grande ! Grazie Claudio !
Loved the soulfull bass jam!
All the jams, actually! Commented too quick 😂love you jams, youre so skilled!
Powerlead jam reminded me of Autobahn 😀
Your videos make me happy Doctor. Thx
Your studio is pushing me to break a commandment😈(Covet) and turning me a shade of👽. I guess I will have to play a few verses of Hallelujah and find some rosary beads to chuck over my shoulder.😇 Play On
Claudio you are ABSOLUTELY the BEST!!!
Awesome vid Buddy! You just can't beat a proper synthesizer 👏👏👏
Absolutely!
@@Doctormix Have to say, I'd rather have my Roland JDXA.

Super fun lesson from a super fun genius 👏🏾👏🏾
Hi Claudio,
You've been to meetings all over the world but your show is the best, you do everything the best ,
Your presentation of Michael Jackson Thriller or Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre was a Masterpiece !!!!!
Greetings from Germany
Wolfgang
You really enjoy this like I do and I love watching you do this bro. It’s awesome.
Always love watching your channel.!!! You have soo much enthusiasm playing your synths.!!! I love my early '74 Mini too.!!!... "One Synth to rule them all".
I was able to recreate them using a Polivoks, the spaceship sound barely 😆though they all came out with their own character. thanks for sharing!
Hey, Doctor Mix, love your energy and talent. It's infectious! Question: How close do you feel the Behringer Poly D gets to the Minimoog?
I have the Poly D. Highly recommended if you want to get your feet wet. The mini moog is definitely warmer and better quality overall but the Poly D does the same thing. A very cool and useable toy for making music.
The spaceship sounds are neat! Funny machine :)
Hahaha I just executed all the instructions right away :D Thubs up, bell (because it turned out the bell wasn't engaged... which is a crime) and all right away. Claudio you're such a persona 😂 Much love!
That last tune you created was awesome👏😀👏would love to hear more of it 🏆
Absolutely totally brilliant fantastic love it the best
Doc, have you considered putting out an online course of some kind? Masterclass, etc
That would be PREMIUM
Your little jam at 15:20 was boooooooootiful.
Love the mini moog it sounds so good
I've learned a lot from this video thanks 😊.
Love that little beauty one of the best synths
Brilliant episode! Thank you! 🎉
What an amazing synth. It's alive!
You just could at the end do a jam using all this sounds togheter, it would be amazing
Excellent demo, Claudio! 🙂 I really like how you created all the sounds "on the spot". The "Super Lead" tone reminded me of "The Rockford Files" theme tune and "Nutbush City Limits" (Tina Turner) 😋
Nice...because you mentioned it, I went to listen to it. DEF a Mini, or at least a saw wave, little ADSR shaping and glissando.
Great sounds from the classic Minimoog; at 10:03 almost lost it :D
always a good day when dr mix uploads
one of the best channel😊
Moog and Rhodes, such a perfect combo 👍😆
I like Jan hammer's use of this combination.
Kit Watkins had a great sound using that combination while with Happy the Man.
An excellent demo and a great channel. I wonder if someone could suggest the typical Rick Wakeman’s settings? I heard it’s 3 oscillators at once, covering 3 octaves and obviously, glide, but I’d appreciate some more specifics. Many thanks!
