Moog Labyrinth is unreal

[@That__Guy]

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.

Very good review... I have been trying to get more info on this unique little synth...I have now seen enough to pull the trigger and get one... thank you Ma'am... And all that sounds like this... so beautiful...

[@75YBA]

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!🌏🌍🌎👍😃

"and all that sounds like this" - Gottcha!

[@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.

[@ultramet]

Wow! I really liked your summary of the functionality of the labyrinth. Really great job. I will check out your gear reviews from now on. Bad gear gives similar summaries while pointing out flaws, but I want to hear about strengths because everything has weaknesses. I like hearing about the strengths about gear that isn’t bad. Love!

[@SheldonBird]

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

I tell you s little trick: connect your damn computer to proper speakers…8”..12” studio monitor. Voila: suddenly playing soft synth will feel alive as if it’s in the room.

I mean no disrespect and love your work, but did you try to plug your harp into the wavefolder and filter inputs, start the sequencers and play along with it? The Modular is one big super pedal.

[@kamael1125]

I know that Labirynth is amazing Think I saw one guy who could actually make something musical out of it. But I'm finding it hilarious that 99% of youtubers that are trying their hardest to push it, end up creating just random noise with no musical coherence. Even worse than Labirynth are videos about Subharmonicon. Think I have seen only one dude who actually knew what he was doing.

[@DankePlace]

Yet here you are watching them?

[@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.
