MOOG MINIMOOG - uncommon sounds | HQ DEMO

This video shows the Mini Moog in action. The Minimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer with an outstanding, excellent sound - the "Moog sound". The modules inside the Minimoog are of the same high quality like those in Moog modulars.
I wanted to show, that the Minimoog is also able to produce rather "digital" timbres and "untypical" sounds.
I played the Mini with Yamaha ProR3 reverb and Roland DEP-5 for delays.

[@cannabudsguru]

its amazing that the first portable synth ever,still is relevant and has amazing sounds that no other synth could achieve thank you Bob!

[@AnalogAudio1]

which sounds do you mean? A ringmod sound is never as fat as a 3-oscillator lead. Every synth can produce "weedy" sounds with a single oscillator. Not every sound must sound "fat", sometimes you need "lighter" sounds. They must fit to your expectations / music, that's what really matters.

[@soloharmonicsrobj8246]

There's nothing like that Moog sound. I have a Minimogue VST synthesizer that I love to play often. Great demo of this legendary instrument. I definitely hear Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze influence in your sound patches.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

The Roland DEP 5 will essentially make anything sound digital, no matter how analog it is :c).Great demo btw. There was a contest on Gearslutz along time ago saying "lets hear someone make a minimoog not sound like a minimoog". You sir would have won it.

[@MacXpert74]

Great sounds! It's always nice to see someone on KZbin who actually knows how to play a classic synth and create cool sounds with it.

[@intheblink]

Wow! Sounds amazing! So cool to hear the true range of the minimoog instead of just the typical simple patches everyone plays.

[@Dovinia]

Every time I see one of your videos I realize I have to own one of these myself ! Thanks for posting this.

[@Richard_P_James]

Nice to see a demo by someone who can coax some really good sounds out of their equipment (unlike lots of other KZbin vids!)

[@mrbigmouth502]

This is an amazing demo! I had no idea that the Minimoog was capable of such awesome sounds!

[@8462995]

Amazing what the Minimoog can do, through out the video is totally awesome each little turn of a Filter results in Different Electric Tones and even the Video itself is like a Electick Show trip... No Wonder Gary Numan and Krafwerk Loved it so much... Perfect Pair with the Polymoog... 5/5

[@Rhythmicons]

I never really would have associated those bell like sounds with a Mini except on the arturia emulators. I mean, I know this synth is capable of a lot but Uncommon Sounds indeed. Excellent video! Eric Rhythmicons

[@9KznfiS87f7]

You got me thinking, so I was looking through old Minimoog schematics. For example, they used 741 Op Amps. You can still get those, but more modern Op Amps would sound slightly cleaner and a little less noisy when it wasn't supposed to be noisy. But all the electronic parts are still available online, almost all are still in production. And outside of economics, there is nothing stopping anyone from making a 100% AUTHENTIC Minimoog right now. Might even be cheaper than a Voyager or Little Phatty

[@ohesmusic]

The coolest demo and the coolest sounds of the moog that i heard on youtube! thanks man!

[@glimmertwin1977]

Great demo - covers a lot of sounds that most minimoog demos don't.

[@Chyuuch]

Not sure if I can get my grandmother to make those bell like sounds but you sure have convinced me to give it another shot! Saw somebody say something about self oscillating the filter 1st. Sounds like a good start considering I know how to do that.

[@AnalogAudio1]

yes, the DEP-5 is great! It's my favourite 80's multi FX processor. Great delays and great reverb. I love it! It has a strong character.

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks... I think, everyone, who invests some time to experiment with the Minimoog, will get these sounds... I got the weird metallic sounds with the third OSC as LFO at high frequencies...

[@ivysomething]

I love this video. I actually had a dream about my old minimoog last night, and woke up sad without it. This made me happy again :)

[@AlexanderTheG333]

This is the best Minimoog demo

[@santiagoluque2594]

Must change the title from "uncommon sounds" to "incredible sounds" !! The mini is an incredible & versatile synth but I would never could guess only listening to some sounds that these could come from a Minimoog! … There is any chance that you share at least the initial setting you used on this video (at 0.12, 0:44, 4:13, 7:08) ??, Honestly, I would like to reproduce these sounds but it is difficult to get the settings directly from the video. Thanks in advance!

[@8BRInteractive]

Seconded.

[@naoidfpaiourej3299]

Thirded.

[@jasonbullmusicincorporated]

I love some of those phatt sounds. Had it crankin through my car stereo. Scared people at pedestrian crossings..

[@1aerjen1]

Can can can I have that. I want that for years on Christmas. NICE

[@Zordo11]

one of the best demos by the way.

[@calyx93]

Folks often overlook the Mini as a complex sound generator beyond the bass and lead territory - probably due to a reaction to what seems to be a very basic synth. However, these have something that no VA could ever recreate - that high-end sparkle Very nice patches - the clarity of those oscillators really shows here.

[@dannon2010]

very nice.

[@xdeville1]

this synth have a big fat full and fantastic sound.. WOW

[@douro20]

I've seen videos of a Moog Modular...they are enormous!

[@AnalogAudio1]

there is a bit FM possible! There are switches for filter modulation and osc. modulation by the OSC 3. The OSC 3 modulates OSC 1 + OSC 2 + Filter and is playable on the keyboard (keyboard control switch on).

[@odorifero]

the coolest minimoog demo!

[@dessiplaer]

very original. Iv'e never really heard sounds coming out of a minimoog like these.

[@socalltd]

sounds kinda tangerine dream like(the middle) the bell sounds, i think walter carlos used on the early albums and at 7:08, the dot/ wind sounds, kieth emerson used on "pictures". but this is uncommon use of the hidden sounds

[@socalltd]

@Freline true. Thats why I said the early albums. . back then He was. I know She is today.

[@maxmatson1578]

I just bought me a Behringer Model D and would like to try to apply some of these on it!🎹 strange sounds or my favorite! thanks bro👍BrAp oN!!¡!

[@naoidfpaiourej3299]

Just got mine a week ago and now discovered this video.

[@SRDhain]

i just cant believe that an unmodded mini is making the more clangy timbres as there is no fm facility or ring mod in a stock mini moog.

[@synthetic24]

Not correct, a minimoog can do exponential FM.

[@scarabeobop]

Thank you.

[@Synthiefrau]

Hi Chriss, now you now what I mean....the Mini is the best Synth ever made...cool demo...

[@8BRInteractive]

Could you please post the settings for these sounds?

[@error068]

big up for this vid, it inspired me a lot to explore my vst version of the minimoog

[@skrattkantarellen]

Self oscillating the filter on the minimoog will get it to start producing bell like sounds.

[@XYtoTheDoubleG]

fantastic demo! dwelling in the abstact!

[@JohnLRice]

Nice demo! Like Organgrinder010 said, excellent sounds!

[@station2station544]

brilliant - Love doing that FM on my D. Bravo.

[@synthpro]

I want a Minimoog model D so bad, but can't see paying $4000 for one. Great demo!

[@magevers59]

Very nice demo!

[@JohnLRice]

Excellent demo!

[@JohnLRice]

EXCELLENT DEMO!

[@PHAEDRIDER]

holy tamales .. that is really really beautiful . .

[@Kendalph]

Beautiful... and educational !

[@jonjennings13]

Bravo! Thanks for this.

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Great sounds. Makes me want to get one....

[@seb17320]

fantastic demo ;-)

[@skyprop]

@trolmper the Moog source does exactly that. But came out in 1981 or 82 when memory technology caught up and was available. The Moog Source is the Second Generation of the Minimoog. Go check some of those vids out.

[@ARBB1]

Wow

[@AnalogAudio1]

@lobit12 It's 12***, a newer model from 1979.

[@erebousde]

I wonder if you could try to recreate the sound at 2:30 with your modern video equipment so I can see all the knob settings better!

[@8BRInteractive]

Yeah, that was a magnificent sound.

[@RobertoMatiz123]

@TetsuoYagami I wouldn't remember then, i've seen it maybe three years ago.

[@AnalogAudio1]

@Babyblue57 I can't explain exactly how I did it... All I can say is, spend some time with your Minimoog and experiment!

[@AnalogAudio1]

@odorifero thank you :-)

[@skyprop]

@AnalogAudio1 Agreed!!! As a Source owner!

[@sebastianjohnsonamorrortu9571]

6:05 great sound

[@therealKINDLE]

Oh.. It's beautiful. I dream of owning one. But it's just such alot of money for me. Maybe one day my dream will come true huh!

[@DanielAraujoNazar]

I was just about to post that I felt like listening to "New Millenium" when the video came to 4:14 :)

[@Farout397]

2:09 amazing!

[@baward]

Sounds very nice, but I'd wager that the sounds are rather different (i.e. relatively thin and weedy) without the digital effects.

[@UnchainTheNight1]

thats probably what ill get once i get some proper amplification, i have my roland jx-8p plugged into my stereo atm and i dont have near enough money to buy keyboard amps... which reminds me, should i even get keybrd amps? or something else thats cheaper or better lol

[@Arnadath]

seems to me like fm modular synthesis with high carrier pitch, church like reverb and echo/delay

[@nocterbalbulus]

Really great sounds...Is it done with analogue reverberations?

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks...

[@mtsn]

at 2:13 it sounds really amazing

[@ZwamTekMusic]

im kind of diapointed about the NEW synths, they should produce the old blueprint of the voice chips again, and filter components, and then make the same synth with new possibilitys:3

[@Funsickled]

I WANT A MiniMOOG!

[@henrikstolpe]

Very nice! Check out this also!,More FM Sounds from the MINI!

[@Iofflight78]

Wish I could see the settings in your video better I'd love to recreate the patch at 3:05

[@getlostlser]

dope

[@lordkelvin1]

you should play some songs aswell. Not only do demos, but play maybe some KraftWerk aswell. Nice synth though!

[@wandov8]

Unbelievable... it's hard to believe. Trust me!

[@spermanent]

hell yeah!

[@AnalogAudio1]

thanks :-)

[@illDiology]

Isn't using an oscillator as an LFO on another oscillator basically the same thing as frequency modulation? I guess with something like a DX7 you get all those cool algorithms and many operators, but you lose the analog signal path and are stuck using only a sampled digital sine wave.

[@jay007dj]

love where it starts at "1.49" part...any chance of more of that please? :)

[@AnalogAudio1]

I will post next week a new Minimoog video

[@TheGaetanomariadigio]

No, i don't think to dx7! is not possible that for a digital sinth

[@wioska123]

5:23-5:45 amazing!

[@AnalogAudio1]

I'm not familiar with the Voyager, I don't know, if this is possible.

[@turboguy86]

Any patch sheets please? :) some great sounds!

[@madichelp0]

could you please tell us how to make these extremely cool sounds?

[@RobertoMatiz123]

Great! Does it have an input?

[@RobertoMatiz123]

@TetsuoYagami You mean the film? How so?

[@alleykat6273]

nice try, i see the d50 below the model d! /j

[@RobertoGinsburg]

ARP PRO-SOLOIST HAVE THE MOST GROWLY FUNKY SOUNDS EVER!!!

[@AnalogAudio1]

well, there is Moog Voyager, real analog with patch memories... But it's not possible to produce a Minimoog or an ARP Odyssey with new technology, that sounds 100% authentic. The old electronic components are obsolete and they are not produced anymore. As a Minimoog / Odyssey owner I don't miss patch memory. It makes fun to program your sound new from scratch - or to program them from sound sheets.

[@Zordo11]

Im trying to decide what to buy. the voyager? or this classic.

[@americasn]

sound like dream theater melodies

[@metabog]

Wow, the first bit sounded like a DX7 or something. Weird.

[@TheGaetanomariadigio]

I have two!

[@TheGaetanomariadigio]

A curiosity: it is a second series?

[@Bicyclecardslife]

can you tell me the combination of the oscillatore and the filters of the bells at 0:17

[@UnchainTheNight1]

so you wouldnt recommend the dep-5 reverb?

[@Dino0469]

Hi, Is there anyway you could please take a closeup shot of the panel settings of this DX7 type sound heard in the opening sequence? I would like to program it on mine and see where it goes from there.I would really appreciate it if you could do that...thanks.

[@christopherpederson1021]

Turn the resonance nearly all the way up and you are halfway there.

[@PandanusOdoratissimus]

what is le name of this song at 2:14 to 2:44 ? is great

[@soundmanhaven1]

reminds of krafwerk earlly work :)

[@M0SSl]

Like it. Im tired of saw and fat cool sound
