Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Moog Mother-32. Is this semi-modular synth and ultimate gateway drug into the world of Eurorack really Bad Gear-worthy or am I just trying to find a way to make my post inMusic takeover purchase tax deductible? Is it really a one-of-a-kind analog synthesizer or should you get the Behringer Crave or Behringer Model D?

I live in the city where Moog originated and where they are still made and it's super sad what's going on. Most of the employees were laid off without warning and the 2 assembly lines that weren't, are just finishing up the last of the inventory and then they're laid off as well. I hope they still maintain the quality that they're known for.

[@AudioPilz]

It's truly sad!!!

[@Darwinist]

I´m really sad that the other Moog(the aerospace/defense corporation founded by Bob Moog's uncle with 14.000 employees and billions of dollars flowing through the company every year) wasn't the one to acquire Moog Music and keep it's legacy alive. Then again it's doubtful that there's anyone still over there with a connection to the family.

It makes for a lot of fun as an acid bass. Personally I love the simplicity of the main area of the synth since it kind of makes you get creative with the patches which can produce crazy results.

[@roxyamused]

I have a subharmonicon and it's grown on me, but it took me nearly 2 years to get here. The reason why I bought it is because it's a unique form of synthesis. I've learned to use the thing more like a west coast synth than a Moog. Trying to use the dissonance but also the potential rich harmonies has been rewarding. It's been an interesting synth to get to know. The mother 32 didn't seem worth it, so I bought her boss, the matriarch. What a beautiful beast. I wish I had a wave folder in my eurorack. It really does become a addictive monster. 3.5mm gateway drugs.

Loved that meme showing the Spirit Halloween store sign on the (soon-to-be-abandoned?) Moog/InMusic factory building. Being a retired commercial real estate broker, that made me laugh - hard. As for the instrument itself, I bought my pair of Mother 32s used for $400 each not too long after they were first introduced. It was a time when a $550 Moog synth seemed like a dream come true (Uli had yet to enter the synth market then). Today, at $699, the Mother 32 and its Mother Family siblings are horribly overpriced.

I get what you’re saying but my experience with B hasn’t been great. Ive owned 3 of their synths and 2 died within two years.

I've borrowed a Mother 32 a couple times, and just using simple PWM for bass is just so glorious. I love that thing.

[@AudioPilz]

Loved the PWM too!!!

[@Goettel]

I crave one. I'll show myself out.

[@AudioPilz]

lol

[@wellurban]

It’s often seen as a gateway to modular, but when I got mine I already had a lot of modular, yet it still added more than I expected. I had been hoping that Moog would release just a ladder filter in module form and didn’t think I needed a full monosynth, but I got one anyway and it quickly became the centrepiece of my live rig. At the time I didn’t have a programmable sequencer (just classic knobby analogue ones), so the M32 sequencer gave me the ability to recall melodic sequences. At first all the shift-key combos are a pain, but once you get the hang of them it’s very playable, with the ability to easily transpose, turn steps on & off & change sequence length allowing for a lot of improvisational fun. In the end I actually played solos on that tiny keyboard! The single VCO is limiting on its own, but I loved running other VCOs through it: wavetables in particular sound great with the resonance. And there’s something about the PWM that just sounds richer than most of the stand-alone VCOs I own.

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@ConwayBob]

Wow! You made Janet Leigh scream, Florian! I had to pause this video and make some popcorn before seeing the rest of it

[@AudioPilz]

[@howgill4829]

Very accurate take. I pulled my Mother-32 out the other day and honestly it made me appreciate my digital synths with robust amounts of mod slots more.

[@osco50]

Nice one! The Crave was my gateway drug to eurocrack. I bought it on a whim when it first came out without knowing anything about Moog or any synth history at all. Still one of my favorite pieces gear and I often use it as a controller for the 6U 104hp (208) modular rig I've built since then. With a good sequence and some very creative patching it can jam all by itself for hours (probably indefinitely). That initial $165 whim has easily set me back $3k over the past few years, worth every penny…

One of my first and favourite synths. Gorgeous tone for bass, drones, and leads.

Also the crossfader is the single cleverest thing I've seen in modular. I don't know why it's not more used in the modular world. With just one knob and 4 jacks (2 IN, 1 OUT, 1 CV IN), you have an attenuator, a VCA, a 2-channel mixer and a VC-able crossfader

I appreciate Moog. We had one back at school in the early 80s - tucked away in the dusty corners of the instrument room. It was fun to play with - but mostly it was used for theater sound effects or bright solos in jazz band. Those days are in the past. The person I was back then, down to every single atom of my form, has been released into the entropic void, long ago. So it also is with my admiration of Moog synths... it was once part of me, and I treasure the memory, but it has no relationship or meaning to me now.

Worked out for Moog. Oh, wait...

[@ninja_baseball_bat_man]

The meme is strong with this one

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

Next Behringer Crave? :D :D :D

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Hell yeah.

[@AudioPilz]

;)

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

@@i_never_asked_for_an_alias My three Craves cost approximately the same as one Mother-32 :D :D :D

[@lucafrancinimusic]

These jams at the end are gold!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

Huh what a hot video this time. I'm sure the fan who proposed to you last time is already wishing 02:08 to come from your private collection. From big loads to small units: This time's suggestion is Waldorf Iridium core.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!! Great suggestion!!!

[@skywatchernorth]

Be honest, how many Crave owners clicked on this and just saw it as a review of the Crave?

[@AudioPilz]

...but, but, but... The UI is all messed up!!!

[@skywatchernorth]

@@AudioPilz Oh of course, for copyright reasons they are obviously completely different instruments!

[@kerzwhile]

Very well done Sir! 😊

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

never seen a wild synth meme im convinced pilz just makes them all

[@AudioPilz]

There's a rather exclusive bubble of synth meme aficionados;)

[@JgHaverty]

that moog cake is actually really cool lol, the reese's as the modulation wheels is hella clever

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

[@Artersa]

That last jam was so good!!!!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@armignac]

Had a really nice laugh. Thanks for another great one!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

The murder of Alesis will not be forgotten! Can't wait for the Moog branded re-release of the M Audio Venom ;)

[@AudioPilz]

Lol, I'd love to see that one!

[@grandtheftautocj]

Excellent episode.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@atlassynced]

I had the crave and sold it after trying M32. For me it was just day and night, the feeling but also the sound.

[@AudioPilz]

👍👍👍

[@dasczwo]

Pilzchen, your are erschreckend consistent.

[@AudioPilz]

Ich geb mir redlich Mühe;)

[@akerese]

2:20 devil's haircut, Beck. Nice!

[@AudioPilz]

When you know, you know;)

[@TylerInTraining]

Terrific video and jam as always. I know you've said you're not much of a keyboard guy but iirc there's plenty of keyboards out there that could get the Bad Gear treatment. I'd love to see you roast my Roland FA-08 since, while I love what I've been able to accomplish with this workstation over the years, it most certainly has its flaws that I've come to recognize with experience.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!! Great suggestion!!!

[@bal289]

I am a proud owner of the M32! A brilliant reveiw,mr Pils.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

[@BF-up5xw]

Nice Hegel/Sonicstate reference! Even if I had to pause the video to see it! I've been interested in this synth for a while but... Well, as much as the sound is great, I realised that it is the patching options that really had me excited. Subharmonicon or Dfam next? With love to Moog and all current and former employees.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!! Already had the DFAM on the show...

[@BF-up5xw]

@@AudioPilz I'll be watching that next, then!

[@jboulderct]

All the synth-sters having Uli themed nightmares on Friday the 13th. Another Classic from King Florian!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@crunchylicenseplates9008]

Great video, love the seamless edits of "Mother", although Leon could have gotten a better cameo. I first saw the Mother32 when I was a KnobCon in Sept of 2015, Moog debuted it to a select few behind closed doors. I never indulged as my original Mini-Moog is all the Moog I need. Some synth video ideas: Korg Z1, Yamaha CS6X or anything from Wersi.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!! Great suggestions!!!

nice work man, like to see the support of fellow YT'ers.
