Give that man:
a) a record deal
b) a sturdier stand for this dream synth!
Has Many records under his belt - uuuhhhh ever heard of Jamiroquai
Michael Tinnin Sure. But solo albums?
Rayy‘s Musikladen that wobbly ness was the first thing I thought. It would drive me nuts.
i am sure he has never thought about a sturdier stand. what does he know. He only spends but a few ... thousand hours playing.... Also the monitors are not placed like in the text book! Disgraceful!!! :-)
Moog One is BIG! If I'll get 10 grands to buy one then I'll need to rent a flat to make a studio with this synth. Or sell my big coach, put a big sturdy table in the corner and sleep somewhere on a mat :D
I think it would be hard to find a synth that doesn't sound good in your hands. You're the David Gilmour of keys.
You’re so right! Nicely said 👍🏼
A demo from him could triple the value of a fisher price children’s keyboard
👆 this
so many people commenting on synth videos "I need a better synth". Then seeing Matt play (insert whatever random synth), and bring out the best of it.
It's baffling how a great player with a real feel of a synths strong points can make an instrument shine.
I greatly enjoy these videos; they're very inspiring, and go way beyond "look how cool this filter can self-oscillate"
@@topofthemornintoya Don't give him ideas!:))))
Next Matt is jamming On the Run :)
Awsome synth.
Again you always come up with the most amazing chord structures.
The mind of a musical genius
🤜
Fantastic synth and playing - thank you very much for your insides to the Moog One!!
such a down to earth, chill and humble fellow in addition to his talent. Heck most artists of your magnitude don't care to reply to fan comments not to mention
This is such a great channel!
Those filters make all the difference. It sounds beautiful. Beautifully played.
I totally agree with you. I feel like I will be learning this synth for many years to come.
hears massive sound
"... and that's with just one oscillator" 😮
Fantastic!
Given your experience and your gear, you are one of the very few humans on this planet who can make videos about "Why you can make certain sounds on this and not on that". Bass, leads, pads, "rhythum Stevie Wonder" clavs etc. I would pick one of these standard sounds in a video each and try to make them on your OB-XA, OB-6, prophet 6, Model 6, J8, etc. and show the differences. Instant RUclips stardom, and a service to lots of musicians (who might not have the real thing at hand but could still emulate them on VSTs). Keep up the good work!
Love these videos such an insight thank you 🙏🏼 I guess this beast will be making an appearance on the next Jami project 🙌🏻😎🎶🎹
That pad synth sound is fantastic!!!!
Wow, that sounds superb
Just got a subsequent 37, but this is like 4 of those plus a lot more :)
Lovely sound :)
(and very well played too!)
Oh yeah! An amazing synth on the right hands. Nothing could go wrong 😃
Great video Matt. Really engaging and your playing is just fantastic. The pad/lead split sounds great. I’m still not sure about this synth though. Just something. However, on another note, I want that jacket! Very nice and would compliment any synth. Keep the videos coming please.
Thanks for sharing more of this beast! So cool
Living legend! Keep up the awesome sounds man
I'll we receive my Baloran, The River in December. Hope you'll have one Matt. Want to see u playing with it! Cheers
We need a video on that JP-8!
I'd love to see a walk-through of building the sound of the mellow "brassy" solo at the end. I love that style, and I've seen you use a similar patch on the minimoog
6:44 is a really nice sound. Just got one of these; thanks for uploading this tutorial.
Very helpful.
Didn't even know you had your own channel, Matt (0_o) Subscribed!!
this is a great sounding synth of course
Cheers Matt, thanks for sharing. A solo album you say? mmmmm..... yes please! :)
Love that pedal bringing in the 2nd osc and filter. Very useful and musical. That Moog One deserves a stable stable stand. It bounces when you play it. Maybe swap out the Jupiter stand :-).
Love these videos :)
I love what you played @9:17 !!
This instrument is a masterpiece..
Informative as usual. We still want that Andromeda demo. Pleeeeeease.
Fantastic, my impression after i checked other video is that the moog one is a pure pads, sound design machine. You can definitely make some nice basses out of it but , even if is a poly moog, monophonic are still the way to go for bass tones
Again Matt thanks for another exquisite insight into a piece of gear most of us will never be fortunate enough to play with. I came to two conclusions watching firstly that you are one of my favourite players on the planet in any genre and along with someone like Richard Barbieri who you may know probably my favourite sound designer. Why you dont have a factory bank ill never know.
Thanks! I love Barbieri too, one of my formative influences with Japan
Matt Johnson Jamiroquai The most underrated band of the 1980s in my opinion.
You are fortunate saving your money than to spend it on an overpriced keyboard that has bad quality.
amazing sounds / player haha
Nice vid as always👍
Amazing. Thank You!
My lack of theory knowledge becomes painful after watching you!
Hey, thanks for your videos. I guess without them I wouldn’t have gotten myself a Moog one. I ask myself if you would upload your patches. I really do enjoy them.
Greetings from Germany
Your first patch (near the end) sounded like something from the Banshees. That is a nice synth.
haha many thx for that video matt...you still need another stand for that ship! the audio quality of that synth is sooo...
Very nice!
I hate myself for wanting to purchase one.
Finally someone playing some extended chords on a moog.
plays lead like butter, unreal!
Hope and pray I get succesful enough to pick up all these toys.
I love the sound in the begining and end of the video, am noob in synthesis but wondering where I could tackle this sound with my Moog Grandmother,
For a price tag of $6,500 I can see why. This thing sounds massive and amazing
Matt you gotta sample the crispy rustle of that fine blue jacket of yours 🤣
9:38 fantastic Matt
You have such a nice instrument and have great skills as a sound designer and musician. Now invest in a nice stand so that thing doesn't move so much when you play! : )
Id like to hear a Matt Johnson + Mathew Jonson collab
Awesome! I could watch you make patches for hours haha. One thing I'm curious about: in the first year or two of it's release there was some bugs, do you feel like Moog has done a good job patching those up, or are there still some nagging bugs that affect your workflow?
I'm still in the process of selling some less-used gear to buy my Moog One, but every time a new video comes out it gels my desire for one
Those fingers so powerful, Moog quakes
Very inspirative - as usual... When coming the Matt's Album?
working on one!
Matt Johnson Jamiroquai That’s great news, so much looking forward to it!
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai nniiiice
Matt Awesome video. I'm guessing you figured you can change the wave into a sine using the editor screen?
thin and raspy synth and will take a legend like Matt to make it sound half decent.
Not worth the Dinero.
I would honestly love one of these synths. 15k in my shitty Australian dollars is too big an ask unfortunately. It will have to remain a dream. Great vid btw.
You will get one one day 👌
what a quality ....
Wow, Matt, after watching last year, you've got me regretting my returning it! Mostly from guilt of paying so much for it😕
Hey Matt,
What do you think about the sound shaping of the m-1 along with my Rhodes together?
This synth is MASSIVE and sounds so good! worth every penny!
Darkice Presents At least I have MASSIVE as a VST...
It is way overpriced. There are definitely better keyboards out there for considerably less. Looks nice but lacks quality.
Thanks for the experienced review. A year is a minimum time to spend with a synth before shooting a video.
I have a Moog Matriarch and I get a little frustrated with running wires. I like the Moog One doesn't have that. Also, I really prefer Polyphonic to Paraphonic.
After demoing the M1 it becomes immediately evident that the 3 separate synths (3 Seq., 3 arp's, etc) that can all be played back from an external DAW midi sequencer is the power of this machine. With the 16 analog voices to divide between the synths, you could have bass (2 voices perhaps), brass, maybe 6 voices, and another 8 voices for a pad all playing back at once in real time via midi input. I demoed the new firmware V1.5 at it solves an earlier problem of the Moog not responding to external Expression-volume (CC11) and Sustain (CC64) which are both imperative to players. This alone should make this Moog more appealing to the players looking at this. Tested those, and they both worked well. And the midi playback from an external DAW midi sequencer was very tight not only with the drums from the computer but the parts in the Moog with each other were spot on and tight together.
EACH synth has 16 voices. So 48 in total. Crazy
Wish you would’ve done it with a camera right over the synth so we could see what you were changing. Great vid though thanks!!!
ugh. sick. love its sloppy sound.
Hello, Matt! I can only look at this synth in such great videos! :D Your "retro sci-fi" solos are great!
What do you think about MFB Synth Pro? My personal opinion is that it's maybe a bit limited in terms of modulations and sadly has no pan spread of voices. But sounds very good IMO and has a great "stereo-filters" feature.
im not familiar with that model
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Maybe you'll be interested... ruclips.net/video/v33ZfSLilfI/видео.html
Excellent video! Have you released any solo music outside of Jamiroquai?
coming soon!
How did you get on with the key feel over the past year? That was one of your initial concerns/criticism in the last vid.
Better, I think it has slackened up a bit
Nice, your demos are making me feel like the moog one actually sounds much better than previously thought. I'm totally sold on the feature set but not the sound character. What do you think the Jupiter excels at that the moog can't do / replicate?
Hard to say, they all have their own sonic characters!
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai I wouldn't mind seeing you play a few demos on it if you're up for it
Hi Matt...you inspired me to by the ONE...then OB-X8....and recently I saw your video about 3rd Wave 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. I will go bankrupt 🤣🤣🤣
I know the feeling!
This thing is the new Jupiter 8. It has adjustable envelope curves but looking through the manual and the release notes for some of the later firmware it seems someone has already taken the time/trouble to setup classic Roland envelope curves for you already (as evidenced by Jupiter referenced stock patches). Adjustable envelope curves is the key if you want to emulate, well, any synth really. The envelopes have a large role to play.
Thanks that's very interesting. Will check that out!
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Yeah no worries. It's page 45 in the manual. I could never really get a Roland Juno/Jupiter style tone out of my Prophet 6 and it basically comes down to envelope curves. In the official Moog video they posted a little while ago they demo a few patches specifically aimed at emulating Jupiters/Junos so I assume someone must have worked out the right curves. Either that or stock envelopes already match the Jupiter style curves (Linear, logarithmic and exponential are possible but it's an adjust to taste kind of thing from 0 to 100% so in theory all possible curves should be doable). I think Moog might have been inspired by this feature from the Andromeda but it's a stroke of genius nonetheless.
Hey, please tell me more. I can’t find the video
I’d have bought it if you designed the presets 😂
I still wish they would replace that Key bed!
Moog still has not fixed the creaky key problem.
Did you ever get more comfortable with the key bed? In your original video you mentioned the keyboard had some resistance / weighting that you weren’t fond of.. thanks Matt.... also, i would support a paid section / site if you go that route.. really enjoying your videos. Thank you.
I got used to the Moog keyboard, I think it has given a little too with the smashing I give it!
I bet you could make the squeaking from cleaning a toilet bowl sound nice. Moog One is a lovely bit of kit.
Don't need squeaking from a toilet bowl. The Keys creak by themselves.
@@geezee1579 youre absolutely seething across multiple comment sections on the One
please point on the doll where the moog one touched you
Hello from Tallinn!🙋
How much up voices of the One in your studio(8,16?)Thanks
this is the 16 voice
May I ask, what is the synth in the wooden frame in the background on top of the space echo?
It's a Moog Voyager
The rack version. Ah, thanks!
I was just curious, what sounds can you do on a Jupiter 8 that you can't do with a Moog One?
I'm curious how you feel the Moog One has held up with the releases of synths like the OBX8 and Trigon6 among others.
Will you share what brand speakers you use behind you?
Yes they are Neumann 310a's. Great speakers
Please record a solo album!!
Currently recording!
Matt Johnson Jamiroquai HELLLLL YEAAAH MATT!
I wonder - can this only be repaired by Moog? proprietary parts, etc?
Maybe the fact that it costs 10gs makes it intriguing? 🤫 plus it’s a Moog so you know it screams quality
Bruno Mars x Matt Johnson
Have you released any of your Moog One patches for purchase? It would be cool to get some of those sounds in my Moog One.
Might come in the future
Why is that huge synth toddeling back and forth ?
Hey Matt any interest in doing lessons? Would be so cool to get Skype lessons from you. Love these vids thanks!
Thanks but as I am self taught I don't feel qualified to teach!
Gotcha thanks anyway.
Also are you on the 16 voice Matt?
thanks yes this is 16 voice
Does it have a global transpose function?
👍
Can't find any vocoder demo on the One, so does it or doesn't it have a vocoder?
It does has a 10 band vocoder but I have not yet tried it
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Thanks, just got a reply from a One owner that said it did not...the specs say it does.
Thanks for your reply.
Nice tones - I think less is often more with synth patches but you don't really see people doing that much as it's a competition to make the craziest patch. Do you find you use more than 8 voices very much? I like hearing you play two handed melodies rather than big brash chords - they can be just too bright and sharp and in your face on this synth. Stacking up everything just seems to create an impenetrably wall of sound like when a song has been massively brick wall limited.
Yeah the unison mode can get too much. I'm glad I have the 16 but you can for sure get great tones with the 8
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai I've been looking at more of the videos of the one lately as I'm trying to convince myself to buy it. It seems like they got the user interface perfect - intuitive ease of use combined with complexity of function and depth. It's kind of like a modular synth without the patch chords that's also polyphonic and multitimbral. I seem to learn much more about the basic tone of the instrument, oscillators and filter watching people design patches from scratch. Then it reminds me of something like a modern Moog like a voyager or sub 37 but without the saturation. I think I'm probably in the same boat as you hearing people use it in demos in a way that doesn't suit the sound you're looking to get from the instrument. Have you tried or heard the Baloran River? It seems kind of DIY unfinished in its interface and presentation - nowhere near as amazing a product as the one. However, the sound is really beautiful. Everything that comes out of it sounds like gold. Warmth and character.
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Am I right in thinking of you use 2 stacked layers and play a 4 note chord you're out of voices already? Also if you have a long release and play 1 four note chord in a sequence and another one later in the sequence if the sound overlaps at any point you're also out of voices already.
A question about the one and it's multitimbrality
-does *each* *"synth"* ha e 8 voices, or are the 8 (or 16) voices shared between the 3 "synths"?
Like, if you used a big chord for one and latched it, would an arpreggiated section with another layer steal notes from the first?
None of the literature makes this clear lol
Love your work man
the voices are shared between the 3 synths. It will note steal if too many notes are playing like any synth
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai well I guess that's the 4 thousand dollar question then lol, considering the 8 goes for about half what the 16 goes for used
I appreciate the response and love the music man, never stop
MATT JOHNSON JAMIROQUAI!!
Nice. Is it mogue and not moog?
Yes, I always had that wrong before!
I can only afford the one 8 or the seq 10? thoughts?
Just comes down to personal choice
Just an silent question, Mr. Johnson: when coming an new content to your YT-ch?
This is one week old!
Waiting, Sir, waiting...
Coming soon!
Minute 6:51 woooow one osc

I have my Moog One coming. Sweetwater said they hope by May. Do you teach Moog One lessons on Zoom or any other way. I'd be grateful.
sorry I don't but there is a video of me showing some programming tips
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Yes I saw that, I will keep watching it. Thank you so much for getting back to me. I enjoy your Videos you are a good man.
Hello
I am at Point Blank Music School in London - would you consider doing an interview with me in the SSL studio about sound design in the next few weeks?
Hi give me you email and I will contact you or DM at instagram
