This was a very clear and easy tutorial. It should be the first or one of the first videos that a new user watches. It would have saved me a lot of time and trouble trying to figure out how to make my first sequence. Thanks!
In my opinion this is the best synth Moog has released in many many years. Easily tops anything in the Sub series and in the end will sit up there right next to the MiniMoog. I remember 5-6 years ago thinking Moog was done with any new ideas. Then the Mother-32, DFAM, and Grandmother came along and Moog is back in peak form.
You have a talent for explaining this. I'm waiting on the Grandmother (dark) I just ordered to be delivered, and I've been devouring tour/tutorial videos here on RUclips for the past 2 hours. As someone who is new to synthesis, most of them are completely leaving me in the dust due to heavy use of jargon and theory. This was the first video I've found which really explained (and demonstrated) a functionality in a way that was really useful and enlightening for me. Great post, thanks!
We picked up a Grandmother about 3 months ago and about one month ago we picked up the Dfam. Wanting to return the Dfam but definitely keeping the Grandmother! I’ve been learning the sequencer and after this video I feel more qualified. Many thanks!!
Wow. I had no idea it had this functionality. I was pretty much done with the idea of semi-modular stuff as I loathe the patching, but this give a lot of power to the synth for arps and sequences without even being patched. Thanks!
Thank you for doing these videos. These were really helpful with learning the Subsequent, I definitely appreciate them happening for the GM and I am sure others will as well.
How do you like the GM/DFAM combo? What else are you pairing them with? I’m considering getting the DFAM myself to pair with my MS20/GM. But I’ve yet to decide.
I’m sure I’m not the first to catch this BUT I believe you’re the “VOICE OF SYNTORIAL” is this so???!!! Dammit I want answers!!!!! 🤣! Thank you for the instruction 👍🏾
@Moog Music, one recommendation would be to create a RUclips playlist of all the audio files for the Presets from the original Grandmother owner's manual
THATS the way, to make a tutorial ! Thanx a bunch, and please let them keep on coming - and i would not have a problem, if you could get Lisa Bella Donna, to make a HEAP of tutorials :-)
Love the way the sequencer is on this thing. My most popular vid is Grandmother Seq Jam where I put it through its paces. Would love the option to play in reverse not forward/reverse, next update.
Haut Strange. The sequencer plays forward, forward/reverse, or random. The only thing usable in a song out of those is forward. I would use reverse all the time if available.
When will what be available? Both of these synths are already out. The sync information can be easily found online on numerous websites. Maybe even in the manuals of the synth.
Hi! Anyone have any ideas why my Grandmother isn't arpeggiating when I follow the steps to hold the certain notes that I wan to arpeggiate? I click play and hold, then press the notes I want to arpeggiate, in the order I want them arpeggiated then it ends up only repeating a single note and not the other notes I wanted?
Whenever I press the hold button to latch the arpeggiator, I press the keys I want but as soon as I release my fingers from the keys only the first note of the sequence repeats rather then the whole sequence. Any idea why this is happening?
i have a problem with the arp when i play fwd/bkwd it doesn't play the last do yo uhave a solution ??? and my rate can't go as fast as the rate in the video ... How i can i fix it ?? please tell me thank youu !
I have a really weird problem with my grandmother.... Right out of the box everything worked just fine, the arpeggiator, sequencer, etc. But for some odd reason, suddenly this section doesn't seem to work anymore.... When I enter the Arp mode and press down some keys I hear....nothing..... Even the red LED doesn't seem to respond if I turn up the BPM, it just constantly lights red. Is my synth broken???
Hi Moog. I see you guys sometimes have other colors for your patch cables. This video has yellow (I think) to the left of the Grandmother. Are they available for purchase?
Unfortunately, no. You'll need to rely on your brain or your iPhone camera to record any automation. Same with patches. I find it a very fair trade off in order to maintain the analogacity of the old dame.
I really don't understand what is going on with the 'ties' that were supposed to be demonstrated... I just heard the notes move there were no tied notes, am I the only one who is confused by this
'Ties' means the note will glide from first to the second, like legato. If both notes are the same, then the note will simply sustain. I hope this makes it clear
Great description of the features but it would be nice to have a more musical demo, especially being an official Moog video. Playing chopsticks on it doesn't do it justice.

My grandmother arrived a couple of days ago and I'm loving it! Thanks for this helpful video.
Tell her hi!
I bought a Grandmother last week, congratulations Moog, it's sound is fantastic.
Stephen Jones Had mine for about 2 weeks. Its my first Moog and I absolutely adore it.
We picked up a Grandmother about 3 months ago and about one month ago we picked up the Dfam. Wanting to return the Dfam but definitely keeping the Grandmother! I’ve been learning the sequencer and after this video I feel more qualified. Many thanks!!
The Moog Mojo is strong with this one!
yes absolutely
Easily my new favorite synth that I got! Great job Moog!
this heartens me greatly, it's my first one, got that and the DFAM to try and learn up then expand as mucha s budget will allow lol
Wow. I had no idea it had this functionality. I was pretty much done with the idea of semi-modular stuff as I loathe the patching, but this give a lot of power to the synth for arps and sequences without even being patched. Thanks!
Such a cool guitar!
I need this
Everyone needs this synth haha
Thank you for doing these videos. These were really helpful with learning the Subsequent, I definitely appreciate them happening for the GM and I am sure others will as well.
Thanks, for making this video Moog! Super helpful.....!
Excellent, excellent demo!
i just bought a Moog grandmother and DFAM , never played any music instrument before . The tutorial you make are very helpful !
How do you like the GM/DFAM combo? What else are you pairing them with?
I’m considering getting the DFAM myself to pair with my MS20/GM. But I’ve yet to decide.
I’m sure I’m not the first to catch this BUT
I believe you’re the “VOICE OF SYNTORIAL” is this so???!!! Dammit I want answers!!!!! 🤣! Thank you for the instruction 👍🏾
very clear and helpful! the sound is amazing.thx
Wow this is such a really cool synthesizer I love it.😃👍❤️

I worship this beast
this is perfect, thank you!!!
😭😭😭 It’s not a want it’s a NEED. Thanks for a great vid. Would like another video about the other capabilities please.
Very helpful post and thanks !
great video!
This is perfect, thanks!
I would like for moog to have patching creative idea videos
Love the way the sequencer is on this thing. My most popular vid is Grandmother Seq Jam where I put it through its paces. Would love the option to play in reverse not forward/reverse, next update.
Valid Core you mean the arpeggiator or am I missing something and you can reverse the sequencer as well?
Haut Strange. The sequencer plays forward, forward/reverse, or random. The only thing usable in a song out of those is forward. I would use reverse all the time if available.
@@validcore Wouldn't you get reverse by recording the sequence in reverse to one of the 3 available slots?
Really great tutorial. Can we get a demo video of this unit controlling the Korg ARP odessy module with CV/Midi?
Great video! Uber helpful!
This was very helpful thank you
Thanks for the very helpful video
Wow! Just wow!
Dream Park by Niven and Barnes with the original paperback cover. Sweet!
Soo cool ,I want one!
I'm a newbie I have deepmind 12 and thinking of buying this will they work together
Would really like to see how to sync the clock of the Grandmother to the Mother 32, or vise vera. Any idea of when or if that will be available?
Sohale Darouian there is a clock in gate input on the back that uses 3.5 mm cable
When will what be available? Both of these synths are already out.
The sync information can be easily found online on numerous websites. Maybe even in the manuals of the synth.
link with midi cable, done.....
just got mine 3 hours ago...im a guitarist...THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING
I love this thing.
Does the sequencer have swing?

I click play and hold, then press the notes I want to arpeggiate, in the order I want them arpeggiated then it ends up only repeating a single note and not the other notes I wanted?
same here

Please reach out to techsupport@moogmusic.com. They'll get you squared away.
Is the Sound from the Intro also a moog grandmother Sound?
Hi Moog. I see you guys sometimes have other colors for your patch cables. This video has yellow (I think) to the left of the Grandmother. Are they available for purchase?
Thank you (:
Is it possible to put continuously the rest?
Grandmother Funker! Wow!
I wish I could do the same thing on theMinitaur like you have the arp on the grandmother
What an awesome sequencer! Is there a way to clock it with Ableton?
Glad you like the sequencer! You can sync the Grandmother sequencer and arpeggiator to Ableton via MIDI. Both 5-pin DIN and USB MIDI will work.
And to clock it with a moog sub37 via midi
Moog-tastic!
Does it record changes made to the sound itself during recording for the arpregiator?
Unfortunately, no. You'll need to rely on your brain or your iPhone camera to record any automation. Same with patches. I find it a very fair trade off in order to maintain the analogacity of the old dame.
Can't we clock it with a moog sub37 via midi?
Also make sure the vca isn't set to envelope
What is the max number of notes you can use in your sequences?
256 per sequence
will there be a software editor?
well that's a promising interface for arp and sequencer but no time divisions for the arp???
How do can you erase the sequences after they are recorded?
Nvm got it lol
that was badass
Very good boop beeps.
Transpose an arp????
How do you erase all the sequences?
No need. Just record over them.
I really don't understand what is going on with the 'ties' that were supposed to be demonstrated... I just heard the notes move there were no tied notes, am I the only one who is confused by this
'Ties' means the note will glide from first to the second, like legato. If both notes are the same, then the note will simply sustain. I hope this makes it clear
Any of you guys feel free to send me one Great. Thanks!
I. Must. Have.
Dope.
Thanks for the tutorial! Instead of "tie," I believe you're actually demonstrating Legato. Otherwise helpful, thanks!
If the second note is different from the first, indeed, it would be a legato. But if it is the same note, then it's a tie
Waiting for the all black version.
Digiphex Electronics why? It looks much better and more unique this way. I don’t see why they’d release an all black one..
BLM obviously
Holy shit.
Great description of the features but it would be nice to have a more musical demo, especially being an official Moog video. Playing chopsticks on it doesn't do it justice.
