The way you explain and showcase gear is truly beyond everyone else. It has structure, feels complete and is easy to follow. Your videos are the only ones I’m going out feeling I actually got an idea what something does.

Another happy landing! I had the MF-104Z Analog delay and 2/3 MOOG EXP pedals for Delay and Feedback. The third was for the MIX, so you make choices with a pedal that has 3 EXP inputs. Such amazing stuff. So happy you two got one and are having a good time. Bob Moog continues to bless us all. Cheers!🌏🌍🌎👍😃

Look up Canadian composer David Kristian, he released an album back in 1998 called, “Beneath the Valley of the Modulars” that has songs that sound like this Moog… of course he was working with ‘90s synths (and vintage gear) back then.

Awesome video! I would love to see what this can do when paired with the Subharmonicon. I’ve had that thing for a while and still not sure what to do with it.

[@dankeplace]

I used to own 2 M32s before the rest of the family were a thing. Great sounding, too expensive for what they did, but the filters were great. Now if I had have gone that route, it would have been an interesting affair, just the format did not suit my work flow. Still I love that Moog have brought more of these out, they really do work well with each other, or other gear as you have shown. Thx for the upload.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

I just thought of it, but I havn't much thought into the how of it ....but a MIDI output on a Harp, that would be a trip to pull off. I would have to study guitar to MIDI pickups and electronics. but I think one would start with a piezo under each string, to circuitry to convert to MIDI on/off and velocity. ( but really, there are probably enough MIDI controllers for anyone to adapt to already ......and doing harp would be way worse for all the strings ) Moog EDIT; oh, sequence randomize .. a little better than 8 / 16 step then

I would get a Korg SQ-64 .... I mean 16 steps is not enough, honestly .... for some CV destinations, sure 8 or 16...but it's just ridiculous being that limited overall. the SQ-64 has CV outs, and MIDI...so you can sequence anything with one.

As someone who has used plugins all my life, I was used to listening to synths in my DAW. But when I played a Moog bass synth my grandpa had, it was insane how "alive" it felt! It's like the sound was ACTUALLY in the room. Since then, Ive always enjoyed people who use physical synths in their music

[@OKNOOOOOOO]

@@dankeplace the algorithm is strong

[@DetroitMicroSound]

​@@dankeplace Unfortunately I only got a short distance in. Emily can tell ya, I'm only rarely around here. I used to watch many peoples videos about new gear, including hers, always. I also frequently showed up for her streams, and sent my share of super chats. This isn't an attack on anyone, so, no need to come here and try to embarrass me. You won't. I'm burned out on these kind of videos, in general. And often, until recently, they would provoke my GAS. Then, while I should have been learning great ways to use much of my newer gear, I was still hunting for more new and fun gear. I don't need to buy more gear, atm, and watching this stuff sometimes just makes me impulse spend on yet more new gear, when it's probably not the best decision at that moment.. I make music with electronics, not purchase gear professionally. I want to see more videos from folks like Emily that dig deeper in the work, not forever be introducing brand-new hardware, like it's just an advertisement for a manufacturer's new piece of hardware. What's most tiring, is seeing the same big set of YT gear influencers all releasing videos about the exact same piece of new gear, all within a day or two. Now, when not working on music, I like to watch others work on music, or teach us something special about music/gear history. Like many of Dr. Mix, Anthony Marinelli, Alex Ball, and others more often do, over selling us on a new tool. They all do that too, but it's mostly just on occasion, instead of frequently.

I bleep bleep blorp because it's fun. I never developed the skill to keyboard but I can still be creative and make music with what is essentially stacked patterns.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

I understand this. I love synthesizers-always have. But I can’t play keyboard worth crap. I’ve found, though, that I’m a decent enough iPad player (using Logic Pro’s play surfaces, or that really cool one that Animoog uses) and with a DAW there to let me fix my mistakes quickly, I’ve found I can create some reasonable facsimile of music. Still, it always amazes me to see a couple cases of synths, effects, and such making actual music *without* someone playing notes on a keyboard or something else that looks like a musical instrument. Also, I love how good this setup *looks* with the light up patch cables and some of the modules lighting up too. It makes me think back to Keith Emerson’s massive wall of a synth, and how impressive it looks, and how much more impressive it would have if it lit up along with the music he was playing on it.
