[@hazardmouth]

The Moog Grandmother can actually be used polyphonically as well. It requires the use of It's 3rd hidden oscillator which is utilized by patching the LFO Modulation. You would start from the yellow bay "ARP/SEQ" by plugging in a patch cable from KB OUT > RATE IN on the black bay labeled "Modulation". Next step, starting with the black bay "Modulation" plug in another patch cable to WAVE OUT > NOISE IN on the "MIXER" which is the black bay in the middle. You can nowuse the Noise in as your 3rd Oscillator, located below Oscillators 1&2. By adjusting the RATE knob in the black Mod bay, you can create a 3rd voice. Your second voice can be achieved by adjusting the FREQUENCY knob on Oscillator 2. Resulting in a triad, one key at a time.

[@carlbowles1808]

You are right, I see where the cords plug in. I like the grand mother.

[@benjwgarner]

It's technically paraphony rather than polyphony, but nice tip!

[@digiman1996]

Dude thank you for the tip!

[@d3maccus]

@@benjwgarner correct - not even close to polyphonic playability, just another note that you have to change. for the 3rd note I prefer modulation wave out ->> attenuator input, attenuator out ->> oscPitchIn

[@DG-ss1gc]

That’s not polyphony , the grandma is duophonic (your patch trick not withstanding , that’s cool) The matriarch is paraphonic. In my experience , polyphony when it comes to VCA synths , if they share the same filter you won’t be able to play intervals or chords well. Though the behringer synths like the poly D do ok with some of their special features .

[@edrosa3485]

It's a rabbit hole... A deep DEEP rabbit hole. At first I was jonseing for a Korg MS20 Mini because it looked really retro... Then I was jonsing for a Korg Minilogue because it had presets and was still analogue. Then I was jonseing for a Behringer Model D because it was a $300 recreation of a 3k Moog. Then I was jonsesing for a Korg Monologue and cracked when they had the promotion where they gave you a free Volca Kick. Next while doing some research into MIDI controllers I stumbled into an Amazon deal where a red Arturia MicroBrute bundled with their AnalogLab software was $229 a full $70 than the black MicroBrute and I love the color red (my Monologue is in red). So as you can see I can a synth collection that goes far beyond my talent...

Monosynths are good for playing basslines and leads. Polysynths are for the rest. Simply said.

[@carlbowles1808]

Yes absolutely this is why I would use both synths.

[@isher9035]

Usually, yes! But not always. The ARP Odyssey had a Duo-tone which which was a two-voice polyphony that lends itself well to bass. Also, a lot of Polysynths can be played in Monophonic with Unison, which can work well on basses sometimes.

[@TorutheRedFox]

@Luke especially the ones that have a switch to go into monophonic mode to get that extra monophonic flair

[@MarvellousDraven]

It is important to clarify that, to have a good performance, it is good to have both types. The monophonic is great for doing solos and phrasing, separating the pseudo solo timbres in it, like wind instruments and violins. While polyphonic is great for creating background harmonies, accompaniments and great for playing timbres like Strings and Brass... It's much better to have both types than a giant and heavy keyboard...

[@rederickfroders1978]

Yes definitely, but I think the tonal result may give the same outcome. Mono synths usually sound beefier than single notes on a poly synth. Using a Moog to get that across is a good idea imo because we all know those oscillators sound RAW as f. The Monologues osscilators also sound creamier than the Minilogues, but a Moog can really get that point across.

[@YouzTube99]

@@rederickfroders1978 Good points. It comes down to how each of us wants to use the tools.

You really are good at explaining this stuff, i was a bit lost before. Thanks so much for this.

[@jdjk7]

A point I realized that I don't think gets talked about enough is that 1 voice =/= 1 "note". if your monosynth has two oscillators that can be tuned separately or relative to one another, odds are that you CAN play 2 "notes" (pitches) at the same time to make a diad chord. Hell, if you add in an analog oscillating filter, you can dial in a triad-- though i find it trickier to do this.

[@erictherowe]

Thank you - this clears up all the things I needed to know about getting my first synth AND those two were the exact ones I was looking at - gonna go with the Korg I think - half the price and looks like more of what I want as a guitar player looking to expand.

Best synth apps (for android) if youre either broke or fairly new to the synthesizer world, and im both (In no particular order) 1. Common analog synth/common fm synth(paid version Ex-synth-paid version has sequencer 2. Caustic (probably the best, most extensive) 3. Hexen modular synth app-can design your own system-learning curve! 4. Heat synthesizer, tons of presets, keyboard note sequencer, all the modulation you could want 5. Rock Relay: Synth FM or Rock Relay:Analog... Lots of tones and parameter control 6. SyneprezFM- tons of presets, sohisticated Arp, 7. ARPIO... arpeggio synth-board, pro version is very cool 8. Touch Vox...cool sounds 9. Pocket Talkbox- awesome real vocoder type symth, just move your lips and mouth on the speaker-it does kinda feel like your perfoming cynnylingus on your phone but the sound is dope 10. DRC synth... All presets have arpeggio option Hope this helps you find cool sunths to play around on or even use in your music production

I AM DYING AT HIS LOOK AT 6:00 - Great content, my birthday is coming up, I think I know what im getting!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Great video and great topic Justin. Right up my street. I love analogue synths and this video covers a lot of what someone getting into synths needs to know as well as someone who is learning as I am. The Korg Prologue does a very good job of both poly and mono. If used for multi tracking and just using loops it can construct a whole track just using the Prologue sounds. Drums, bass, pads, arpeggiator, lead, chords, all from one machine and the bass and the chords can be done on split keys so if you are using a looper like a RC505 everything can be recorded into it. The sequencer on the Moog Grandmother is awesome and easy to use once you understand it. It's the standard Moog step sequencer that's also used on the Sub37 but even more powerful so you can step sequence leads that go for 256 step apparently. That and the fact that it's semi modular so you can hook it up to other modular or semi modular units to do crazy things with the sound makes it a very desirable synth. I'm looking to get one. Once again great video and keep up the content. Thanks

[@daytonsnyder1391]

Glide is also good for emulating a guitar sliding from one note to the other. Perfect example is The Blakstar Experience’s song “New Night’s Begin”. Even though it sounds like he’s also raising the attack it’s still pretty cool.

[@m5nut]

What a well explained, recorded and edited educational piece. Well done sir, you have earned my subscription on my first viewing of your channel. Can I say, I have been a huge fan of synth music since I was a wee lad in the 80's. By the time I was a teen in the early 90's, I had 2 years accordian and then 3 years keyboard tuition under my belt and was loving the fact I was creating sounds out of electricity alone. I gave it up at 14 as being a teenager, doing rebelious teenager things, was far more appealing to me and still is. Besides my brother got the talent and plays bass professionally, and he is excellent. I instead got into computers,tech and hifi, where I started critically listening to a vast array of musical genres, but as a firm favourite, synth/dance/house/electro/hardcore/trance/ambient etc etc are jostling right at the top with more traditional genres. This video has taught me things I didn't know about synthesisers and has kindled my desire to get back into making sounds from electricity! Now if only I could get a Korg Prologue in the UK. Any idea why it seems they aren't sold here?

[@KitCatStudio]

very useful info, tnx guys! about year ago I went into a music shop looking for a basic keyboard to mess up with my daw. after checking out some stuff I noticed that the synth under my hands was making some pretty good sounds, turns out it was the Korg Monolouge, after that one opened my eyes to the synth world (really recommend that one as a starting point) I went on and bought the new Roland Ju06A Juno remake. these two are now linked to my TR8s drum machine. all together these babes are all I need to create some beautiful sounds. just loving it !

this cemented what i already thought on why would you need a mono synth and not just slap a unison on a poly. not seeing any real standout reason or justification to make it more desirable personally. like old school compositions recording several passes of a synth just to shape a chord on the final track 1 note at a time

[@carlbowles1808]

Get the Minilogue first. It packs a huge bang for a buck. As it has many voice-modes, you can get a lot out of it and thus it works as a great starting point. With a mono-synth you MIGHT run into blockers in terms of your creativity, if that's your only gear. Minilogue is also a great synth to begin to understand how synthesis works. It's simple to get into, but packs deepness to get further.

This comment helped me a bunch. I was already thinking mono for cleaner simpler mixing, and also budget, but wasn't sure. Now i know i can't afford a Bass Station 2 right now, but i can grab a korg monologue to get started, and then just add the BS-2 next year and play them together.

Nick You Nick, The Bass Station now now has paraphonic ability - but I have a Circuit Mono Station for its sequencer ability, also paraphonic, and the same sound engine as BS II. Monologue is a nice mono synth, once you get rid of many of the crappy factory patches. You can do a lot with a Mono Station and a Monologue, then add a Drumbrute Impact and you have a nice little studio for about $1000. And you can build from there.

metaspherz Yeah, exactly. Displays, menu diving, multifunctional buttons, etc. All things that can break, stop working and need replacing or repairing. SMT, surface mount technology has made synths more affordable and more difficult to work on. Lots of times you just throw it away. Moog, or any manufacturer could go back to old school technology and building them like they used to. Vintage is by far my favorite, but too expensive.
