Moog Grandmother in Action - Freeform Jam with Roland TR-8s

Moog Grandmother is Action - Freeform Jam with Roland TR-8s
I ‘ve had the Moog Grandmother and the Roland TR8s for years and I love the combination of these two amazing pieces of equipment.
The Moog Grandmother does NOT have a built in memory. It’s all analog, so you can’t save patches at all. But the immediacy and spontainiety of this synthesizer is inspiring. I love the filter and the spring reverb, which gives this a unique character.
More info:
The Grandmother is an analog semi-modular subtractive, 32-key synthesizer[4] released by Moog Music Inc., incorporating circuits based on the Moog modular synthesizer Model 15 and the Minimoog.
Moog’s Grandmother is a two-oscillator analog mono-synth. It has a semi-modular architecture. This means that unlike a fully modular system, it has a hard-wired (or normaled) signal path and will play without the use of patch cables. Through patching, the musician can add on, or override the hard-wired signal path, extending the possible sound palette of the synthesizer.[5]
The keyboard section of the synth includes 32 full-size keys, pitch and modulation wheels, a glide (portamento) knob, and buttons to control playback of the built-in arpeggiator/sequencer.[5] The machine can be MIDI-controlled. Patches cannot be saved, one needs to create the sound on the fly. To remember created sounds, templates are included in the manual and in pdf format where the musician can draw the patches for later use. There are no built in patches either, but the manual shows different patches and different patch books are available.

Yeah the GM is so hands on, its all just laid out right to manipulate. love mine :). how are you syncing these machines?

[@defmodnetwork]

Yes love it too! I just use the TR-8s as a master (midi) to trigger the GM and send clock info.

[@DisciplinedCommotion]

@@defmodnetwork can the TR 8 just send clock over midi without note information?

[@defmodnetwork]

@@DisciplinedCommotion yes it can. Actually that’s the default.
