@@johnstaf yep, and the machine definitely helps. It’s fun to feel around for the next sound and if you have an ear for it you’ll know exactly when you’ve got it
what seems to be creative about just playing up and down Dm? i mean ur knowledge about music has to be astonishingly poor to believe this is endless imagination... not knocking him...@@johnstaf
Many years after I first watched this video, this is still one of the greatest demonstrations of what can be done on a single monosynth that I’ve ever seen…
Really smart move. I had so many synths before the matriarch, and no Grandmother before really understanding Semi modular format is perfect to learn on and so characterful.
Fuck. My husband just bought me a Grandmother for my bday yesterday (he wins Legend of the Year award IMHO) and I just found this and am dying. So so so insanely good man. Thankyou xx
I have a grandmother and I have to admit 30% of his sound here is the reverb he is using, it's producing very interesting effects that you don't get close to otherwise
I haven't stopped watching this over and over, the fact the camera stopped recording is actually kinda beautiful. By then most people are totally lost anyway... It's just you and the arpeggiators floating away, no visuals required. Amazing work Ektar!
I love those moments where you enter in some unusual chord for the arp, and then quickly rush to the controls to change something drastic and shift the tone. It's just that rolling with the mistakes but between the notes being played and the sound of the synth itself, I love it.
I just found out today there is a grandmother that isn't being used at the place I live, and that it's at my disposal, so I did a search for what it can do and found this. I am very much looking forward to getting some time in on it this is amazing.
gorgeous run, and not only is it SO refreshing to not hear the same pattern repeating endlessly as usual....but also to see a utube vid without a single thumbs down vote! Don't think there's a one anywhere; you deserve it for these sweet 12 minutes, very musical
When the camera stop, you don't Know what a emotions explosion became in my body! That part is so fucking amazing, cannot stop listen again and again!! Really love the touch and the sound!!
This is so inspiring and informational, just watching you play has taught me a lot about how to use the Moog grandmother. More than any manual ever could haha
There's no arp like a Moog arp. Those sparkly, crisp envelopes make me feel all warm and fuzzy and tingly. The end was reminiscent of my friend's Source. Absolutely gorgeous. ****UPDATE: Picked up a G-MA on CL on $650. Woooooot.
@@necronorris Moog Sound Studio 1 was my second synth purchase and first Moog. It is most definitely worth it if you're looking for semi-modular goodness/exploration and love that Moog sound. Mother-32 has a very powerful sequencer and it's got many different uses thanks to the patch bay. DFAM really takes the cake though. It really comes alive when constantly tweaked and played. Either way, I would seriously recommend it to anybody, especially anybody looking to jump into synthesis.
@@necronorris just looking at the Moog Sound Station bundle 🤩 Follow your 💜! I don’t own either Dfam or Mother 32, but I love the simplicity and monster sound of the Gmother (I have a Werkstatt as a sidecar and that has been really great). I’m a keyboardist, so I love having the keys and the grab and go nature of the Gmother.
@@benvigs I went with the grandmother but also ordered a DFAM haha. I play classical guitar, and like...no keys. Super steep learning curve but I am pretty excited. The GM got here today and I have been tinkering with it, DFAM arrives on Sunday. Wish me luck lol.
8:55-9:04 is a like tryin to touch the dark side. But it's like u leaving it as it is not gonna be a part of this piece. I loved the whole. Thing thanx for this wonderful video and experience.
I must admit that the soundscape of the Moog GM is much more organic compared to Moog Subsequent 37... you can catch that from this beautiful performance... Thanks 👍🏻
i wondered if this instrument could pull of the Baba O'Reilly intro. it seems like with some tweaking you could get damn close. really does remind me of my old MicroMoog
My man, it's been three years, we must have more music from you! I still listen to this on at least a monthly basis.
the longer i watch this video the poorer i get
hahahaha
that is only if you define 'poor' by having money and not having the synth. I'd argue otherwise though.
Hahahaha feel you, bro.
You can be rich with money but poor with everything else.
Poor of the wallet, rich of the soul… heheh.
The changes are seemless, and it never feels like you hear the same thing twice! This is less of a demo of a synth, but more of a demo of a musician.
exactly!!
Agreed. He seems to have endless imagination and inspiration.

@@Pieces_Of_History2 Thanks for your concern about my music education, but I have a degree in Music Theory, so I'll manage.
Many years after I first watched this video, this is still one of the greatest demonstrations of what can be done on a single monosynth that I’ve ever seen…
I actually bought my Grandmother (1st synth) because of this video a year ago. Best decision I've ever made. Thank you so much
why do you call it your grandmother
@@quanathan Because of the special feelings i got for her
Same broo
Really smart move. I had so many synths before the matriarch, and no Grandmother before really understanding Semi modular format is perfect to learn on and so characterful.
At 7:27 my face melted...
Tomi Waselius I know right.
Sexy arp
That transition in the 7th minute is a thing of beauty!! My Grandmother arrives today, cant wait... Great video, thanks!
My jaw literally hit the floor :o I went back and watched it like 5 times.
that is a sick move fading out the glide. i feel like i learned a lot watching this and will use some of these moves in my own playing :)
Oh man I'm so jealous... the Grandmother is the next synth I'm getting...
This video inspired me to buy a Moog grandmother, great decision no regrets
Fuck. My husband just bought me a Grandmother for my bday yesterday (he wins Legend of the Year award IMHO) and I just found this and am dying. So so so insanely good man. Thankyou xx
Just always be greatfull for your grandmother and show her that you love her!
imagine partying and somebody on stage starts freewheeling like this, beautifull!
What a find. I have not heard the grandmother played this way. Excited to follow and learn.
You know what, that was some great music there. It makes me want one of those synths lol and I don't want to buy another synth
This is why arpeggio is important dealing with truly analogue....thanks Ektar!
This finally made up my mind to buy a Grandmother. There's just no denying that glorious tone.
This is pure joy... I want one soooo bad! 😭You're like a magician! Thank you for sharing this! 😁
I have a grandmother and I have to admit 30% of his sound here is the reverb he is using, it's producing very interesting effects that you don't get close to otherwise
which reverb would that be?

Orderd mine should take 5 days can't wait
This is an awesome piece of music- I’d love a Grandmother but I’d have sell my Juno 6. Having had it four decades!
This video sold me a Grandmother. This piece of music is wonderful. I’ve listened to it every day for a week so far.
Me too! Arrives tomorrow!
What a jam, it's a beauty. Definitely one of the best demos of this or any synth I heard.
Holy.... I just got mine and have never played keyboard (or synth) and am in over my head but it's so fun and wow this is amazing!!!
The glide move @ around 7:00 made me want to fire up the Neutron and accept my Grandmotherless life.
Bonjour ,
j'écoute cette vidéo avec cette instruments magique puis le manipuler aussi brillamment comme vous faite encore et encore merci
Absolutely a great synth, love the transition around 7 minutes!
Epic jam! great video quality too
I kinda love that the camera died because it really ascends into a dreamy listening space after that.

So good! My matriarch is frozen until I finish a song, but this is super inspiring to record some synth jams.
I'm actually saving my money up to buy myself one! what a wicked sound, I can't wait
My mind is made up!! I have to have it!! Merry Xmas to me!! Ty for that great Illustration!! 👍

Dude.. that was effing fantastic
The best Grandmother video I’ve ever seen
This is incredibly dope. From 7:10 onward, I went to digital heaven
digital is not the right word here ^^
@@Sirius-qr4vu you’re right, analog would be more fitting
@@brandonlovestech454 exactly :P
This is amazing... My only question is, why use vintage verb when there's a built in spring within the Grandmother?
Perfect remedy for my headache! Nothing beats a good Moog.
i Cried
Man this video is mind blowing. Amazing music. I didn’t want it to end.
This just convinced me to buy this moog. Thank you for my final inspiration !!!
Nice music my friend, congratulations.
8:58 has to be one of my favorite moments. Something about it sounds so familiar.
When the camera stop, you don't Know what a emotions explosion became in my body! That part is so fucking amazing, cannot stop listen again and again!! Really love the touch and the sound!!
this is soooo sick dude. crushed it.
7th minute onwards was euphoric.
This is so inspiring and informational, just watching you play has taught me a lot about how to use the Moog grandmother. More than any manual ever could haha
Way to rock those arps - and also the filters and envelopes - on this thing. Great work man.
Excellent
This is beautiful! But I especially love the short moment at 1:05 where you go “upgrade” and then “SH#T! Go back!”
9:50 that lower lfo wave is awesome!
5:16 damn that sequence sounds mad af
Best GM demo so far. Amazing !
Agreed.
i can't stop listening to this !! fantastic sound ..so fantastic i bought one !!
ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFULL
4:30 amazing arp basses !
Once you dive into any Moog....it’s very each to kick other synths off the wish list. Great demo! GM is a Modern Classic!
Gorgeous sounds and sequences.
Magnificent 🏆🏆👍🏾👍🏾🔊🔊
Was on the fence between a fs ms20 and a grandmother. Very different beasts, but your videos have pushed me towards the grandmother, thank you.
I'm 5 hours away from my Grandmothernright now and this makes me want to play with it so bad!!! awsome sauce !
This sounds amazing, fantastic patching, great harmony, you’ve got a beautiful touch 👌
This is so incredibly well done
Just awesome!
Bought mine finally!
such a great performance bro
A musician, no technician. Superb.
I love this demo because as a new Grandmother owner I can see exactly what is producing what sound. Great demo!
This video is a main reason i bought my Moog Grandmother.
Awesome work!
Sounds like heaven
Totally agree with people saying you nailed it on 7:10... oh my, that was smooth! 😯

I want one too! I was looking at the mother 32 and dfam bundle but I am just not sure.

That was spectacular!

Still keep coming back to this.
Awesome intrustment - legendary. And beatifully played.

Fantastic !!!
fantastic performance and sounds
Dig it.
Totally enjoyable jam...
Sounds so good, in your hands especially. Juicy arps!
Great video and beautiful sound

Inspiring. I keep thinking some beats would turn this into a gem. It's great as it is too.
Beats should only join in at times.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR MINE in 3 days AHHHH. sonuds amazing dude!!
Awesome patch. Could you write down your patch for 7:10 min? sounds amazing
Beau-ti-ful 👌🏿🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🧓🏿
This is lovely
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
awesome ✨
Stunning!
yup goosebumps at 7:12 love it at 10:40 too
Can you tell me about your chord choices? How do you decide which chord goes next? Do you have a few favourite patterns?
great camera setup. digging the live sequencing/modulation 😎✌🏽
