@R. M Nah you are just 1 finger melody guy that's not listening to the SOUND of a synth. I hear the attack, the filter, tone of the synth and i know what's up. Those basic functions define the synth it's 'sound'. And those are not preset sounds btw.
man I bet that song sounded banger and for some strange reason makes me want a milk shake but that has nothing to do with the song or the sample....unless.
This is the first demo of this synth I actually enjoy. Not sure why every synth guy on RUclips tries to demo the most alien non-musical sound they can get out of an instrument. It’s refreshing to hear some chords and not some space beeping. That demo around 7 minutes gave me a super big Radiohead feeling.
pontram I mean I’m sure the Piano 9 patch on my DX7 sounds “mundane”, doesn’t mean I like the sound of it any less. If musical means mundane nowadays then I’ll be mundane all day long.
@@Evildandalo I meant mundane in a sense of sounding mediocre. Just not very memorable . Which is, in light of the price tag of both the instrument and it's player, a bit underwhelming.
What a pleasure to listen to an accomplished player demonstrating such a behemoth! And it's a such a good idea to put the moog in perspective by combining it with that delicate Vintage Vibe Rhodes. Chops meet sound, improv meets tech.
My favorite part about that 40 second jam around 8:50 seconds is how you can see about 30 seconds in he knows where he's going with it. You can almost see the moment where he's like "ooo this is cool".
I don't even play keys but I love these sounds. Very impressed with these chord voicings. Quite unique indeed. I play guitar and have well over a hundred different effects pedals mostly analog. A few digital as well but I just love new and interesting "tones". I like being a mad scientist of tonal exploration. Different sounds transport you to new arena' s in your mind and move you emotionally. Music is like a vast fabric of richly diverse dimensions of free form expression. So colorful. Tonality are the musician's pallet. Wielding a brush of expressive colors through sounds. Musicians are artists. I'm glad I came across your video. You can find a world of inspiration listening to instruments and artists your not normally accustomed to hearing. Well done sir! I am more blessed after hearing your art form!!!
I own a Moog One and I would disagree in saying it’s the best analog I’ve ever heard. The Model D, Voyager, and Matriarch all have more pleasing core tones (and those are just Moog monosynths). The OB-6 also has a more pleasant core tone, though it’s limited in modulation and has pretty stale reverb and delay effects, compared to Moog’s Eventide ones.
Absolutely fantastic. You sure show a whole other side of the Moog one that others aren’t really doing. That thing is so warm and colorful. Definitely on my bucket list right along with finally seeing you guys live.
Excellent keyboardist, excellent musician and spot on taste. Not only do we get to hear what this synth is capable of, but we get to hear it in the context of some fantastic progressions and playing (which is so important and so hard to find). Thank you!
WAHHHHH I DESERVE EVERYTHING WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK FOR IT WAHHHHHHHH Jesus Christ synth people are insuffrable. It's the price of a generic old used car. Finance it for 150 a month if you want one and be eternally grateful you aren't into cars or guitars or almost any other interest whatsoever.
@@AndrewTSq Your first reply better captured the insecurity of why you posted this to begin with. Either way, just chill man. Other people being further along in life (AND CLOSER TO FUCKING DEATH) takes nothing from you. This shit is no a zero sum game.
Love this video. The Moog One sounds incredible, but the EP is definitely a shining star. Loved that integration in this demo...I could listen to it all day! Thanks!
Thanks for that, Matt. I rarely (if ever), hear a synth being demo'd from the perspective of a jazz player. It was very refreshing to hear that synth played in more of a jazz context. Oh, and lastly; nice playing, too!
Dear Matt, please make demo's like this for al your amazing gear; you mention you are the owner of very amazing synths.. You are truly an amazing musician and look like a great guy! Would love to see more synth/key/gear reviews.
Thanks for playing bits that make me want to move my bones all on their own and evoke rhythms that make me want to write music again. That third one, especially. It literally made me beatbox, and I don't even do that sort of thing.
Thanks for making the Moog one video you wanted to hear, because I wanted to hear it too. That thing's so thick it's almost too thick; it must take some EQ to make the most of. Thanks for chording up the joint like that. It really told me things about this synth that other vids haven't managed to.
Finally a Moog One demo that does her justice! I knew that there had to be some good stuff hiding in there. I suggest you do all the Moog demos from now on! ;)
I came for the synth, but the music is so funky and soothing, most harmonic sound demo I've heard on this instrument yet, can't pay attention to the sound because the music is so captivating!
Btw! Your my kinda guy! Your frustration with the lack of quality videos lead too you making this wonderful one!!!! Thank you for the effort! I’m reinsured!;)$$
Love this!! Finally someone actually playing chord progressions on it without the over the top resonant/white noise swooshing and pulsing LFOs that could just as well have been made on the Sub 37. Actually sounds fantastic BTW but I can't help eying the Jupiter 8 and Rhodes on either side.
I'm surprised at how much hate It's gotten so far. The main complaint seems to be the harsh sonic character or lack there of given It costs 6 - 8 grand. The way he plays It sounds amazing and It looks like you can Imitate any other synth and do far more I love It. Hope to have one In 2 more years.

Thank you ! Not only do you have beautiful tools you can actually play them! Which is rare for. Synth collectors - I can hear a lifetime in music by the way you play 🙌🏽
One of the things I love most with (good) sound design is that everyone comes up with their own unique patches, but it still retains the flavor of the synth. I also really liked the variety. (And your smile while playing matched the one I had while listening. Clearly enjoying the music and what the instrument and the artist are able to produce.). Thanks for the inspiration! Would love to be able to take some of your patches apart and see what I can learn from them!
It just blew me mind how he talked about how tight the tuning can be on modern instruments which keep them from having that straight vintage like sound; cue the Prophet 5 Rev 4 which includes a knob called "vintage" that works in giving you that wonkiness he was talking about. God, why are great synths so expensive? I want them all! I can't even really play them to be honest and I still want them.
I love Jamiroquai, but this guy should also make his own albums. I love the chords and sounds he uses especially when he brings the Rhodes in. I'd love to play a Moog one.
Omg thank you for actually playing chords, instead of just playing one note and turning knobs.. THANK YOU
Did you said something against LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER
?
I seriously hope not! :D
well gee, it's almost like a lot of synths are monophonic
@R. M lol what are you on? Synths are there to play music

Good job mr. billy i love it!
A rare video of a synthesizer being played by an actual musician.
You mean because he's not cheating with a sequencer?
And not by a neural network.
Evidentially Behringer have plans to make a clone of this for £3.
Hahaha

yes ! hahaha
No shit !! xaxaxa Give me 5 then :)

I love that a $6,000 synth is sitting on a $40 stand.
Only the stand is a Matt’s property 😀
The 16 version Moog One he has is actually $8,000

That little jam at 09:20 was amazing. I've played it like 15 times over.
i would pay a pinky toe to play that someone transcribe
anybody knows the song?
Just the two of us
🔥🔥🔥
You are an amazing player. Wonderful choice of notes, chords, and feel.
This dude would absolutely DESTROY the pop market...THUMBS UP!
he already did a few times
He is big league player
It´s expensive, but it also sounds expensive. Very glamorous sound ...
Finally a good video with sounds to my liking of the Moog One. Now i do want a Moog One...

Matt, it's a pure pleasure to hear you play. Thank you for this video and all the great music you've made.
Matt need to come out with his own album.
Agreed! I would gladly play bass on it for free lol.

How great to listen to my favourite keyboarder chatting about synths!
You habe the BEST STUDIO I HAVE SEEN SO FAR!!! GREAT !!! I REALLY LOVE YOUR GREAT STUDIO!!!! WOW !
Everyone who says they have heard it live, says it’s the best sounding analog synth they’ve heard.
@David Macdonald I can't really say since I haven't heard the Moog one live. My friends have , since they went to Moogfest this year.
I own a JP8, Trident, and Memorymoog and the One is definitely on that level. It's fantastic.
Bob Smith Matrisrch sounds fatter.

Matt is such class, both his monster chops/playing and his personality, what a legend
That synth is a pad monster. So much awesomeness.
What a joy to listen to. Talented keyboard skills and a beautiful synth.
I'm so happy this demo exists. I was a massive fan of Jamirouai as a Teenager. The fact you're demoing synths is a dream come true!!
You're the first person to showcase some M1 sounds I would actually want to use in a track. Great job.

He's talented alright and it sounds great.
Those are some smooth beautiful chords and sounds, leads.. great stuff, you are one of a kind Matt, Thanks
You just confirmed that this was a Moog meant for keyboardist! Seriously could hear a whole album of you jamming your patches.
Great! thanks for being so kind to share your dedication and art!
This synth can be summed up in 4 words: sounds great, too expensive
Gives you a $10,000 discount on the 1982 version.
I will wait for the "Behringer Too"

When you play the Rhodes and pads on the Moog One together, I get a strong Vangelis vibe from that.
