I'm sorry for the bad resolution. This is a recording from a livestream, the download and compression from Twitch is responsible for the fact that the videoquality has suffered so much. In the future I'll do livestreams on KZbin, so I can upload them automatically afterwards and they will stay in better quality. I hope you like it anyway. Also you can watch more videos in full 4K quality on my KZbin channel. 💜

Here for the music, not the picture

[@LivingLotusMusic]

Love the overall texture here. It's amazing how versatile the Mother 32 is and you clearly know your way around it's features!

[@matthewcragg3607]

This is very nice. Most "ambient" videos with Moog (or any other) semi-modular gear is just uninteresting bleeps or, worse yet, tortured electronic sounds that grate on your nerves (which, inexplicably, get tons of likes and favorable comments from the unwashed masses). This video is a nice exception.

[@psysword]

Unwashed masses of modular fanatics who spent all their money on patch cables. Reminds me that I need to shave.

[@PlayBackRate]

Great stuff! Mind giving an in depth veiw on your patching and sequence setup

[@DJDrue]

It would be great to understand how you set this up. I was really impressed with the sound you are getting. Would you be willing to post your patch settings for the mother 32? I'd love to see a video of how you made this great music.

[@spareroomstudio]

I would also like to know how this is achieved.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Hey Jan, welcome to the wonderful world of ambient electronic music. You popped up in my suggested and I saw the Mother 32 and that was enough for me to visit. Gorgeous tones and textures. Love the M32 and couple that with any Valhalla and you have enormous spacial soundscapes. Nice one look forward to more.

[@janommen]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@cphayles]

I’m really loving this, especially the intermittent bird calls! They help take me deeper into the listening experience.

[@michaelwalters3908]

Great job dude! Love it.

[@xaviduch]

I love it, great patch, so inspiring...Bravo!

[@unhaunts]

Absolutely lovely.

[@TangoDelta70]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[@mistergenerator5430]

Excellent work.

[@zweiundneunziger3484]

Habe selber eine Mutter zuhause und weiss dein Handwerk zu schätzen. Gut gemacht!

[@TheRoninBlue]

Absolutely stunning. Jan, you have pushed me into getting a Mother32!

[@identitymatrix]

Absolutely beautiful. I can listen to this for hours while studying or just when I had a bad day. Thank you for this. ❤

[@janommen]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🤍

[@garaughty]

Gorgeous tones & textures... awesome work on this Jan !

[@janommen]

Thank you so much! 🌕✨

[@jasonshaeffer]

Love this so much. Thank you! Do you have any advice for creating generative patches with the Mother 32? I have no idea where to start

[@janommen]

Thank you! I would start by doing the patches that come with the manual and try to understand it step by step so you can start to do your own patches. Also you definetly should have a hardware or software reverb so you can have a lot more fun with it. :)

[@sativamusicrelax1121]

very beautiful instrument and a very beautiful arrangement very creative I appreciate your sound great work thank you for sharing

[@thenamelessastronaut]

Manchmal braucht es keine große Menge von Spuren für einen epischen Sound.

[@GoLoopAudio]

Sounds lush!

[@maschinen-raum]

Good work🎹

[@currojavi9830]

Sensacional !🙃🙂

[@chrisliddiard725]

Props to the valhalla vintage verb... binding and holding then slowly letting go,

[@mauricioamezcua9081]

Extraordinario y crea una atmosfera de armonía y paz interna Gratulor tibi pro opere tuo

[@alienlovearts]

Great stuff

[@janommen]

Thanks!

[@walkingoutdoor6620]

_O.O_ wow, superb

[@janommen]

thank you

[@edwardkenworthy7013]

Very interesting. Would you mind sharing your patches and settings?

[@janommen]

Thank you Edward! I'm sorry but I actually didn't write down the patches and can't remember them. Next time I'll write it down. :)

[@weepz]

This sounds pretty good! Be interesting to hear what it sounds like without the valhalla. I need to look into that side of things. ;)

[@braveheartsbeardstudios]

If it is self generative, what exactly are you doing on the laptop that is mostly off screen? The music being played does not seem to have a connection with the notes being played on the LEDs of the M32.

[@altur5596]

I don't understand how this is all coming from one M32. At points like 2:30:30 - 2:31:00, for example, you can hear 3 oscillators. One stable pad, one changing pad, one quicker melodic voice. I have not heard any other M32 or Crave videos that have this many things happening at once

[@janommen]

Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what I did, since it was so long ago. It all comes from the M32 in any case. But I pre-recorded e.g. what sounds a bit like birdsounds from the M32 and played it back in between. The strong reverb might also make it sound like there's more going on at the same time than there actually is in some places.

[@heyya99]

Is this all sequenced by the M32?

[@bulentkamali]

Can I create the same sound out of the Crave since it is very identical to the Mother-32?

[@marksteiner3493]

gorgeous! And, long live Valhalla!

[@HumbleInitiative]

Is there a computer involved in the creation of any of these sounds, echo, reverb etc? I’m curious what the Moog is doing?

[@janommen]

Yes, as you can read in the video description, I used valhalla reverb via the computer.

[@Frip36]

First third good. Then goes into those common, everyday run-of-the-moog, new age tones starting at 55:40. Gets better again around 2:06:00

[@petercane6376]

Might be because its a Moog.

[@matswessling6600]

how did you patch the mother?

[@aitormoya6623]

Is it working with something else? Ableton or other hardware or..? Also, when you press the buttons, can I know why? Like, is it necessary to make the piece as good as it is? :D Thanks!

[@grandmasterjo1]

How does one know if the sound is actually coming from the M32 😂😂

[@vtertezedre2621]

Excelent! You confirm, Wich we hear only moog.32 to do this!?
