Designing Timbres: Major/Minor Chord

"It doesn't play chords!" -This is the complaint most heard in regard to monophonic analog synthesizers... but wait... if you have three oscillators and some awesome functionality like the Moog Voyager, there is an answer to this complaint. In this video, Marc shows you how you can generate a sort of controllable polyphony using the monophonic Moog Voyager!

Yay Marc. Now for some jazz inversions... some stacked 4ths might be cool.

[@galactagog]

that was pretty neat!! thanks

[@rockmanequis]

Brilliant!

[@ZakiWasik]

Great work! Now let's see it do diminished and augmented chords :p

[@dylanmorris6003]

Marc, I find your videos very helpful. Is there a way to apply this to the Sub Phatty? I don't have a minimoog and I would like to change the pitch between major/minor on the Sub Phatty using the mod wheel like you show in this video, but I can't figure out how to assign the pitch to the modwheel

[@nickedelstein9506]

Thumbs up for the detailed explanations about Major vs. minor chords. A for effort. But this does not solve or fix the issue for piano-minded players. Best option is to use Voyager as a polyphonic MIDI controller. This way you can play any inversion or voicing you desire.

[@HazeAnderson]

Best to use a piano if that is the case. I am a drummer and I love synths like this. Their creative limitations allow me to exploit the fact that I can't do chords. xD

[@faustomaccario2230]

How do you get the voyager to play as a polyphonic midi ?

[@Musicmanatlanta]

Fausto Maccario some software like Omnisphere allows this. My point however was that this is a very roundabout involved way of achieving something which is exceedingly easy using another method (software interface). Yes, a piano or other midi controller would also work but I love using my Voyager for *everything* when possible so yeah I get it.

[@faustomaccario2230]

Musicmanatlanta good lookin out brother, much love to our Voyagers

[@kory443]

Korg Monopoly? or Mono-Poly?

[@Funbia]

Funny, but when doing chords of any imaginable kind....I would rather a DSI Prophet 08¡

[@willmich1]

Just get a Tetra or a Prophet 08.

dude are you coked out. timbre and chord theory are two different concepts that do not necessarily go together.
