Making a Rubber Bass with the Moog Grandmother

[@superlean5991]

Howdy everyone - I no longer own a Grandmother, but now own a Matriarch. I think I will continue this patch series since this got a pretty good response from the algorithm. I'll try to make a version of each patch that is applicable to the Grandmother, as well as expand it with the stereo capabilities of the Matriarch. More to come!

[@RenePretschner]

Super cool Bass Sound! Thanks and Kindly regards from cologne in Germany 😊

[@jdjk7]

Yeah, the oscillator octave is in feet, e.g. 16 feet and 8 feet, not inches. The footage refers to the length of pipes on a pipe organ.

[@Rhythmicons]

' = feet " = inches. I can see why he might have made that mistake.

[@Karl_Squell]

Interesting! Just also realized that's why film material is called footage..!

[@johnniecristaldi]

Awesome! you nailed that Minimoog bass tone!

[@ncapone87]

If you slightly increase the filter cutoff attack time it really brings it into rubber territory

[@fischek]

this was super interesting, thanks - I was expecting a bit of reverb at the and, but this also sounded great!

[@superlean5991]

I never vibed with the GMs reverb (not it’s fault but mine). I have seen others use it to great effect but felt at least for a bass patch it would muddy up the sound.

[@sibbyeskie]

Reverb on bass is a bad idea. Maybe in some cases it can work but only if you highpass filter the reverb first. I guess you could try that by patching reverb out to highpass in and into the attenuator to control the level.

I love Moog Synths a bit outa my price range! i do have a Moog Sonic 6 (vintage) still works as good as it did when it was brand new in the late 70s! I use a Korg Monologue to gets those "moogish " types of sounds.

[@buckstarchaser2376]

I like instructional videos like this. Thanks!

[@djpuzzleofficial]

Great patch! Moogs are magical.

[@LaminarSound]

Sounds insane. I love it.

[@charleskleesattel6477]

On the Osc, it's 8 feet, not 8 inches. Nice video BTW. I've not had a chance to hear this unit. Sounds good.

[@superlean5991]

Yep - chalk it up to guitar brain naivety 😅.

[@dirckxd]

Very well explained. Subcribed. Feel free to do more patches on the GrandMother.

[@joellilley-biddolph2002]

Excellent stuff brother. More please :)

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

Love it. 90s dance and nrg sound.

[@jonseay8887]

Feet not inches lol.

@@superlean5991 it would be ear piercing hahahah.

[@GlenBerry]

He's only off by 3.5 octaves! 😉

[@YeastyBoy]

Great video. It’s 16 feet 8 feet etc (not inches) related to organ pipes etc.

[@MrRyancangri]

Excellent, Jesse.

[@benzimmermannde9579]

Really nice patch!

[@orangedogmusic]

Nice patch idea. Thanks...

[@AndyLowe-net]

very very cool video and nice sounds... my only advice is next time make it in 720 or 1080 HD so its easier to see the settings ;)

[@zaneaustin22]

Great, can’t wait to buy a grandmother

[@coffeeknuckles4802]

Good tutorial.I'm thinking about getting one of these as they sound so good.

[@crumpetpro4052]

The tutorial is amazing! Thank you!

[@A.P.L.M.]

Nice I been looking for this exact sound

[@murphyjulian7393]

Great video!!

[@genusslimonade1383]

sounds like stranger things intro

[@FAVIEN]

More patches please!

[@superlean5991]

Had to sell my grandmother a while ago! But want to pick another one up soon. Will be back with more! Thanks for your support!

[@excitationofstereocilia2103]

Shit I got the gas and bought mini nova and circuit track wish I would have seen this first zero fuckin menus on this badboy. Dam no wonder it's 4 times what I paid

[@E_MZ_]

I’m looking at a mini nova. I like that it’s polyphonic though

[@sebasevita]

i must be doing something wrong, it sounds totally different doing it on my Granny. would u mind sharing a preset sheet?

[@superlean5991]

Hi man, thanks for listening and trying it out. Sorry you are having some issues with the patch. I don't have my grandmother with me right now, but a few items come to mind: 1: Ensure the envelope amount is dialed all the way to the right (100%) 2: VCA Mode (flip switch on the right) should be all the way to the left. 3: Mod Wheel all the way up.

[@TheKayoO0]

@@superlean5991 Same thing here. My grandmother sounds nothing like this.

[@superlean5991]

@@TheKayoO0 , thanks for watching and sorry you are having issues. Would you mind sharing what it sounds like?

[@PaulEubanks]

Yeah same. Especially the part at 0:43, I have mine set identically, but there's some super low sub note thing happening that mine's not doing with that D note.

[@PaulEubanks]

Oh wait, I see what happened, Grandmother’s Keyboard Octave Range was transposed. To lower the octave range by a single octave at a time, press and hold the blue [ SHIFT ] button and then press the green [ < KB ] button. To raise the octave range by a single octave at a time, press and hold the blue [ SHIFT ] button and then press the green [ KB > ] button. Wild, I didn't realize this was a thing!

I was going to screenshot this and send it to you until I read the username lmao...

[@muppetpaster]

0:27 16 Inches???? Hahahaha that would be a very very high pitch....That is even shorter than....Feet, those are feet/foot.....As in organ-pipe lenght....16 inch is somewher about a None, or one sixteenth (Unison), XVI (numbered) fundamental.

[@superlean5991]

Yeah a few people have pointed that out! Mix up on my part

[@awpMusic1]

Spend less time talking more time playing. You don’t need to tell us what you’re doing . We can see! What I’m really saying is just play the damn thing. 😂😁😊
