  • This is a tutorial for making basic bass sounds with a monophonic subtractive synthesizer like the Moog Grandmother. We're not making a specific sound, but I'll show you a flavour of different bass patches and how to approach them. This is more for beginners.

      You're fortunate to live in a time where you have such a big variety of affordable synth choices. And of course, you also have youtube where you can find free courses to learn music theory and learn how to play from the best musicians. Experts say that it takes up to 10,000 hours to master an instrument so now is a great time to start practicing your chords, scales, modes and have fun doing it. Also, it helps to have an uncluttered and eager-to-learn brain. That only happens in your youth so make every minute count! In a few years, other musicians may be begging you to play with them! Good Luck!!!

      Yes, please. Just getting into Synthesis and my Grandmother arrived 2 days ago. I'd like to know what a solid "vanilla" configuration for this instrument is, that way I can come back to it any time I want, clear my head, set everything back to "square one" as it were, and then tweak step by step. I think this would go a long way in helping me understand what happens with the signal when I make even the slightest adjustment. Thanks!!

    Bro the video is nice. I’ve been contemplating on a midi / synth I can use that’s different but I can get that same sound and more in real-time to make my sound phat in your face. My choice of genre is trap & RnB, hip hop, instrumental & sound design. I like this synth it has a nice organic sound to it and you can create your own sound. Can you do a video more for trap hip hop using the grandmother or some funky 80s RnB that was heavy moog sounds.

  • @tajik.yassin5203
    @tajik.yassin5203 4 года назад

    ? I’m in the process of getting ready to purchase a moog and I want to get the right one that fits my style of creating music and sound design. As for music I want that classic moog of the 80s RnB / Funk.Some bass lines samples I really like are share my world by Mary j Blidge, J Dilla, jagged Edge and many more. As for sound design do they have patch sheets so I can reset that exact patch again. With some examples what would you suggest. I really miss the voyager but the matriarch has caught my attention unjust want to see some more RnB type flow

  • @directed6924
    @directed6924 2 года назад +1

    I fell in love with the Grandmother after comparing it head to head vs Subsequent 25. It just sounds more alive, more organic, more expressive and more powerful. Maybe due to the absence of digital controllers inside. Pure end to end analog. Not possible to achieve this level of complexity, depth and fatness with soft synths.

    • @adam.recording

      Plus the fact that the modules are based on vintage moog circuits. The oscillators are the same as the minimoog

  • @GuidoAlonso
    @GuidoAlonso 5 лет назад +2

    I hear the sound loses low frequencies when you add resonance to the filter. I hear this in other demos as well. Why is that? It adds bite, but the low bottom is gone.

    • @derekflow
      @derekflow 4 года назад

      I suppose it makes sense in the context of a song/performance, the added resonance is probably going to make it louder so I guess that would help it sit in a mix better

    Hey! I heard somewhere that the GM has sine waves but you just said it doesn’t, can you confirm this please?

    • @onceuponasynth
      @onceuponasynth  5 лет назад +2

      So the oscillators don't have sine waves. But the LFO has a sine wave, and it tracks V/octave so you could use it like an audio oscillator. Also, the self-oscillating filter can also produce a sine wave. So basically if you want an audible sine wave you need to sacrifice either the LFO or the filter. Of course you can always start with the triangle and filter out the high harmonics to approximate the sine wave. In general audio sine waves are not very useful in subtractive synths. Hope that helps.
