Dreaming of arps with the Moog Grandmother

Live exploration of the Moog Grandmother featuring Valhalla Vintage Verb.

[@afrymusic]

My man, it's been three years, we must have more music from you! I still listen to this on at least a monthly basis.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

the longer i watch this video the poorer i get

[@Freebord007]

hahahaha

[@lovesteersthestars]

that is only if you define 'poor' by having money and not having the synth. I'd argue otherwise though.

[@oscarrodn]

Hahahaha feel you, bro.

[@Answersonapostcard]

You can be rich with money but poor with everything else.

[@gerarddip]

Poor of the wallet, rich of the soul… heheh.

[@Jaesee]

The changes are seemless, and it never feels like you hear the same thing twice! This is less of a demo of a synth, but more of a demo of a musician.

[@rodrigoblanc4558]

exactly!!

[@johnstaf]

Agreed. He seems to have endless imagination and inspiration.

[@ded5630]

@@johnstaf yep, and the machine definitely helps. It’s fun to feel around for the next sound and if you have an ear for it you’ll know exactly when you’ve got it

[@RobertRodriguez19906]

what seems to be creative about just playing up and down Dm? i mean ur knowledge about music has to be astonishingly poor to believe this is endless imagination... not knocking him...@@johnstaf

[@johnstaf]

@@RobertRodriguez19906 Thanks for your concern about my music education, but I have a degree in Music Theory, so I'll manage.

[@rodrigozevallos2758]

I actually bought my Grandmother (1st synth) because of this video a year ago. Best decision I've ever made. Thank you so much

[@quanathan]

why do you call it your grandmother

[@rodrigozevallos2758]

@@quanathan Because of the special feelings i got for her

[@SaintHarless]

Same broo

[@final_mile_music9713]

Really smart move. I had so many synths before the matriarch, and no Grandmother before really understanding Semi modular format is perfect to learn on and so characterful.

[@z4p0tek]

At 7:27 my face melted...

[@geoffbordeaux8286]

Tomi Waselius I know right.

[@bruhology6437]

Sexy arp

[@EGDmitry]

I have a grandmother and I have to admit 30% of his sound here is the reverb he is using, it's producing very interesting effects that you don't get close to otherwise

[@traetriplett1472]

which reverb would that be?

[@cyuille]

That transition in the 7th minute is a thing of beauty!! My Grandmother arrives today, cant wait... Great video, thanks!

[@Freebord007]

My jaw literally hit the floor :o I went back and watched it like 5 times.

[@djsandy303]

that is a sick move fading out the glide. i feel like i learned a lot watching this and will use some of these moves in my own playing :)

[@absurdumnonsensum1773]

Oh man I'm so jealous... the Grandmother is the next synth I'm getting...

[@iksre]

Fuck. My husband just bought me a Grandmother for my bday yesterday (he wins Legend of the Year award IMHO) and I just found this and am dying. So so so insanely good man. Thankyou xx

[@ECOGtheMC]

Just always be greatfull for your grandmother and show her that you love her!

[@michaelprechter3539]

I kinda love that the camera died because it really ascends into a dreamy listening space after that.

[@galed78]

imagine partying and somebody on stage starts freewheeling like this, beautifull!

[@joshuastevens2804]

This is pure joy... I want one soooo bad! 😭You're like a magician! Thank you for sharing this! 😁

[@professord8012]

This finally made up my mind to buy a Grandmother. There's just no denying that glorious tone.

[@JoelWest]

I haven't stopped watching this over and over, the fact the camera stopped recording is actually kinda beautiful. By then most people are totally lost anyway... It's just you and the arpeggiators floating away, no visuals required. Amazing work Ektar!

[@mrwilson5586]

I played this in my classroom and the kids loved it. Awesome stuff!

[@thombroom5515]

This is why arpeggio is important dealing with truly analogue....thanks Ektar!

[@brandonlovestech454]

This is incredibly dope. From 7:10 onward, I went to digital heaven

[@Sirius-qr4vu]

digital is not the right word here ^^

[@brandonlovestech454]

@@Sirius-qr4vu you’re right, analog would be more fitting

This video sold me a Grandmother. This piece of music is wonderful. I’ve listened to it every day for a week so far.

[@JulianMerkerMusic]

Me too! Arrives tomorrow!

[@jamierobertson3033]

This is an awesome piece of music- I’d love a Grandmother but I’d have sell my Juno 6. Having had it four decades!

[@christopherholmes1750]

Orderd mine should take 5 days can't wait

[@allorgansnobody]

I love those moments where you enter in some unusual chord for the arp, and then quickly rush to the controls to change something drastic and shift the tone. It's just that rolling with the mistakes but between the notes being played and the sound of the synth itself, I love it.

[@nebula0697]

What a jam, it's a beauty. Definitely one of the best demos of this or any synth I heard.

[@joshm8754]

I just found out today there is a grandmother that isn't being used at the place I live, and that it's at my disposal, so I did a search for what it can do and found this. I am very much looking forward to getting some time in on it this is amazing.

[@FerboseSounds]

Absolutely a great synth, love the transition around 7 minutes!

[@SanderAnderon]

gorgeous run, and not only is it SO refreshing to not hear the same pattern repeating endlessly as usual....but also to see a utube vid without a single thumbs down vote! Don't think there's a one anywhere; you deserve it for these sweet 12 minutes, very musical

[@brianmashak7191]

Holy.... I just got mine and have never played keyboard (or synth) and am in over my head but it's so fun and wow this is amazing!!!

[@_alexxon]

The best Grandmother video I’ve ever seen

Bonjour , j'écoute cette vidéo avec cette instruments magique puis le manipuler aussi brillamment comme vous faite encore et encore merci

[@gabrielsudholt1870]

Excellent

[@nocomplyman]

I'm actually saving my money up to buy myself one! what a wicked sound, I can't wait

[@warra__]

7th minute onwards was euphoric.

[@matienazemy1382]

5:16 damn that sequence sounds mad af

[@JonManness]

So good! My matriarch is frozen until I finish a song, but this is super inspiring to record some synth jams.

[@KiddBloo86]

Perfect remedy for my headache! Nothing beats a good Moog.

[@izziOnBass]

Epic jam! great video quality too

[@producerpaul9082]

My mind is made up!! I have to have it!! Merry Xmas to me!! Ty for that great Illustration!! 👍

This is "how to sell a synth"

[@benvigs]

There's no arp like a Moog arp. Those sparkly, crisp envelopes make me feel all warm and fuzzy and tingly. The end was reminiscent of my friend's Source. Absolutely gorgeous. ****UPDATE: Picked up a G-MA on CL on $650. Woooooot.

[@necronorris]

I want one too! I was looking at the mother 32 and dfam bundle but I am just not sure.

[@sebastianlock7150]

@@necronorris Moog Sound Studio 1 was my second synth purchase and first Moog. It is most definitely worth it if you're looking for semi-modular goodness/exploration and love that Moog sound. Mother-32 has a very powerful sequencer and it's got many different uses thanks to the patch bay. DFAM really takes the cake though. It really comes alive when constantly tweaked and played. Either way, I would seriously recommend it to anybody, especially anybody looking to jump into synthesis.

[@benvigs]

@@necronorris just looking at the Moog Sound Station bundle 🤩 Follow your 💜! I don’t own either Dfam or Mother 32, but I love the simplicity and monster sound of the Gmother (I have a Werkstatt as a sidecar and that has been really great). I’m a keyboardist, so I love having the keys and the grab and go nature of the Gmother.

[@necronorris]

@@benvigs I went with the grandmother but also ordered a DFAM haha. I play classical guitar, and like...no keys. Super steep learning curve but I am pretty excited. The GM got here today and I have been tinkering with it, DFAM arrives on Sunday. Wish me luck lol.
