Moog Mother 32 Review

We finally get our hands on the Mother 32 - see what we made of Moog first Eurorack synth

[@rorykhanmohon]

You remain as The King of synth reviews.

[@markofthenorth9512]

That demo jam was INCREDIBLE!

[@bwest6275]

Agreed. Even two years after this was recorded, I've yet to find anyone who can do anything as good on the M32, even harder with more than one.

[@SourceDistributionTV]

That demo at the end = Bonkers. Great as ever Nick, thanks!

[@SynthMagic]

That track at the end is superb - Nick, you really should make some albums and put them out(especially on vinyl).

[@Sjobeck7]

HOLY CRUD!!! Those last Minutes are so GLORIOUS!!!

[@Genshi]

I've been praised for my Mother-32 demos, even by a couple of Moog employees themselves, but that tune at the end completely blows away anything that I've done with my three Mother-32s! Beautifully done Nick!

[@UhKimboze]

Gotta give yourself some credit you make awesome stuff too man.

[@Genshi]

@@UhKimboze ah man, thank you very much, I really appreciate that!

[@UhKimboze]

@@Genshi yeah of course! The world needs more positivity so I’m doing my part to make a difference.

[@benshannon4298]

Holy cow! That musical demo at the end is gonna sell a heap of Mother 32s for Moog!!! Wow did you ever make those sing! Bravo!!!

[@robgruhl3439]

That closing track... majestic.

[@foggydrifty]

Good lord, that outro piece is stunning, gold I tell ya! Could listen to 2 hours of variations of that.

[@barrowmeoct04]

Came back to listen to that composition at the end again, that enormous gritty deep bass rhythm is so hypnotic..

[@T.G1G]

Excellent review, thanks nick! That demo at the end is fantastic! Very well done!

[@Digiphex]

That is an incredible value when you go out and price some individual Eurorack modules. This would be a fantastic intro to modular synth for anyone and with the sweet sound and bulletproof quality of a Moog.

[@freshpow21]

It's late 2018 and I'm back to hear that closing demo.. one more time. Absolutely sublime tones invoking emotions not typically reserved for gear reviews. Well done sir.

[@slipknotboy555]

Always nice to see another review of yours like this up, Nick. And like others have already said, great sounding outro as usual

[@pyungiedude]

Christ that sound at the end! Goosebumps and everything, can't justify 3 can I?

[@alvarolever2448]

that demo jam should be on the official Moog Mother 32 video

[@ChrisSmout]

What a review to kick off the new year, great video Nick

[@StarfieldBound]

Kudos for your insightful comments and observation on the unit and finishing it off with a musical piece. Great all around.

[@mleko37]

Nick, you are really good at creating mood. when you connect with a synth it really shines.. great job.

[@danvercillo]

Great review Nick, always love your artistry at the end. It's the cherry on top!

[@Joemarktom]

This is the third time I have come back to this video, just for the jam at the end!

[@gregkeen6637]

Bravo! Review well done! Love the jam at the end as well! Keep up the great work.

[@hakonsoreide]

As always a great review. The piece at the end is lovely. Those Moog sounds flow as smoothly as spreadable butter on a scone. So, in conclusion, It's the perfect synth for afternoon tea.

[@barrowmeoct04]

Thank you... that fueled a growing curiosity I have for Moog. Everything I knew about Moog was only hearsay (which was pretty much nothing really), but because of KZbin reviews/demos I'm discovering the amazing magicalness that can be created through this instrument (can I even call it an instrument?) ... AMAZING...

[@1chipchap]

The Jam At the end !! I'd buy that to listen to . Some stunning sounds in there and inspiring session . Thank you

[@igoold1]

sounds great, Nick! great demo as usual. Props to SonicState team for always giving us the straight dope on the all the new gear. Looking forward to NAMM highlights and more. Cheers, gents...

[@FUNKINETIK]

The groove beginning @7:00 is ace, especially when the swing is added. Nick the way you demo’d with that groove was amazing, much respect.

[@rdomain]

Beautiful piece at the end Nick. Such lovely tones.

[@1980alsful]

was fairly unimpressed by the mother.... until that jam at the end! now I want three! :)

[@girlinagale]

I got one in April and another in May, there is that advantage to two identical devices where learning one is learning the other.

[@foggydrifty]

Came back for that outro song again. Nick you're a great artist, really enjoy your taste in sounds and music, thanks for the reviews.

[@joacimwennerberg8310]

Great review! :) Loved the end track, beautiful!

[@b4wd0DD]

Now that's what i call an expensive keyboard controller :D Great review as always Nick (and that tune at the end was mesmerizing)

[@albywelch]

love the outro track! you're an unreal synthesist nick, and one of my biggest synth inspirations! i have watched/listened to your cymru beats performance lots, i just zone out to your music and it takes me a way

[@1VperOctave]

Hi Nick. Brilliant demo - clearly explained, tastefully played throughout, and your Outro demo was superb as always. Now I am eagerly anticipating your Korg Minilogue demo, plus all the upcoming goodies at NAMM. Thanks :)

[@Ratskank]

Fantastic jam at the end there Nick, absolutely lovely bit of music!

[@gabrielmanzanedo]

Oh man, Nick!! Another great review and amazing song to close it!!

[@joelwaters3809]

GREAT review as always... Just got my 2nd M32 in the mail tonight. Lots of modular things to figure out!! NAAAMM!!!!!

[@NimrodScott]

Fantastic review! Very informative and the piece at the end was dynamic!

[@panamuse]

Wow, beautiful playing at the end.

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

The sequencer was a bit tricky.. oh sure... and then you pulled out that gem of a jam at the end... ;) Nice!

[@marekveleba]

Returning for the end jam once again after some time. Well done Nick!

[@seanhodgson3864]

Just picked one of these beauties up today! GREAT overview, definitely learned a few routing tricks. I especially like using the VC Mix Out to VCA CV In trick to give it a sort of makeshift "overdrive" function! Definitely cool

[@wolflegjon]

The end demo is splendid!

[@infeCtedRonald]

Fantastic demo in the end!

[@mzekonis]

Whoa! The jam at the end - beautiful!

[@AvivC1]

Oh snap, the long awaited sonic-state-mother-32-review!!

[@OrangeJackson]

Beautiful bit of music at the end. Enjoyed that, thanks Ss.

[@mCKENIC]

Great review as always Nick! Sweet sound and looks like the sequencer while functional has some nice interesting twists! Of course, you'd need 3 like in your outtro! :-)

[@vr4ever645]

Wonderful jam!!!❤️🔥 That jam alone must have sold hundrets of mother 32s...

[@hafstrat]

Terrific as ways. From you and moog. Always inspirational too.

[@welldonicswelldonics9875]

fantastic demo Nick! Very inspiring!!!

[@JOHNG_TV]

Great performance at the end!!!! I now want all three!!! Thanks

[@MargaretHarmer]

The review is great - the prepared improv is beautiful!

[@fryguyshvifty5]

This guy is so freakin awesome. Keep the videos comin brotha

[@grahamemaxwell9757]

Excellent review, excellent play-out, and just general all round excellence.Thank you for passing on your knowledge minus the fee. Best of luck at Namm

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Great review and what an amazing jam at the end!

[@frankkatzer]

Very informative and detailed as always - thanks!

[@Psychlist1972]

Excellent! Been looking forward to this one.

[@AnalogMonoxide]

Lovely play out here Nick. Thanks for another great review.

[@teknokont]

Thanks for this really nice review Nick, but the best part of this review is the demo at the end, it's great !!!

[@thedocks4936]

That piece at the end is beautiful.

[@piperfox74]

Great demo track at the end, using the three Mother 32s. Inspiring.

[@roberti6433]

Wonderful demo and the piece with -3- Mother 32's at end was enough to make me want -3- of them, *after* NAMM, of course. Still holding onto hope of a rack version of Sub 37 to add to my Sub 37:-)

[@EchoKraft]

As usual Nick great review ! Thank you!

[@khanada1969]

Great job on the review, as always!

[@obd]

Good review and jam, thanks Nick!

[@martinwsun1162]

Awesome track at the end Nick! Ever thought about putting out an album/compilation of these jams? The Dominion jam was especially spine tingly.

[@sonicstate]

+MARTIN w/ SUN Thanks, and yes, but its never multi-tracked, must remember to do that, but its such a rush with NAMM next week!

[@JackTheFunk]

+MARTIN w/ SUN Agreed, proper lovely jam there man.

[@inthefade]

+sonicstate Nick, your demos are always spectacular. I always come to your demonstrations because I really dig your taste in synthesis. You should put your tracks up as a download, even if they are just quick and dirty-Quick and dirty can be good. All the more impressive if they aren't multitracked, right? Like this one is *seriously* impressive. Cannot wait for you to review the Minilogue. I know you'll be able to show me the kinds of sounds that I want to hear from it, if it can do it, unlike all these other chumps on KZbin ;)... (Except Doty I guess).

[@CausaliDox]

+sonicstate Indeed very nice! :) Great review, had been bugging Moog to send you one, little did I know they'd send you three! :D

[@pcuimac]

Have to agree. Somple but impressive.

[@nickhatcher4519]

Love the ending jam! and Review.

[@Angelstarscotland]

Your play out sounds amazing, 3 together sounds great

[@dcodym]

Love the jam at the end! That sounded great. I have one of these bad boys on the way to me and can wait to start playing with it.

[@ChromeGhost]

Beautiful Jam at the end

[@vondragonnoggin]

Love the demo at the end and very awesome review showing off routing ability. I have my first one already and it integrates beautifully with my modular and also driving my minibrute. Also have a new Korg Minilogue and sequencing them both from an mv8800 while the cv outs still drive the modular and brute. 2nd is back ordered but will probably pick up a third too. Between Minilogue and the Mother, a lot of sound sculpting can be done. Two different beasts entirely and each a great buy at pricepoint. Love your demos and reviews!

[@vondragonnoggin]

Also thinking this might be a great pairing with a Dreadbox Erebus. Another great unit that sounds amazing for the price sold at.

[@dualitysoundlab3227]

I've already watched this video, dunno how many times ( got a mother32 way more than a year ) and just now I noticed at @6:32 saying that you cannot control with a CV the VCO MOD AMOUNT. Which you actually CAN DO if you turn the VCO MOD SOURCE switch at EG/VCO MOD. On that position you can control the VCO MOD AMOUNT with a CVsignal through the VCO MOD INPUT on the patchbay! You seriously are one fo my favourite channels by far, I love your passion, technicality and approach so I hope that this comment doesn't look like something else than what it is, constructive feedback! You're still the best at what you do!! Cheers!! \m/ \m/

[@vpjpuente]

Nice jam at the end, im happy i saw the video all the way.

[@AccurateBeats]

Really nice track Nick. I could listen to that for days

[@simonkamakazi]

best synth reviews on the net. would love to see some more reviews of digital synths nord rack 4 etc

[@liudas5377]

There will never be another as good as Synth Man Nick.....Nice job as always

[@TheGhostfaceKLR]

Wow, yeah. Really nice piece of music at the end.

[@skiptabor]

Killing it on the demo, Nick

[@LavLab]

Great jam @ the end as usual Nick! 👽👍

[@pigeonfarmboy]

Nick I must have come back 10 or more times to listen to the end demo. Dammit man it's so good! Hopefully Moog just awards you with these 3 units to keep for that beautiful example. I was on the fence with the mother until this video.

[@steefdroid]

Lovely closing track!

[@stmemusic]

There's so much WANT in this little box from Moog.

[@wax83]

Now thats a proper synth review! As always I might add with this gentleman..

[@ManCalledMif]

thank you for excellent demo and explanation

[@ozorg]

good review & great music at the end!

[@VinceVega303]

Amazing demo at the end there. 🙏🏽

[@MarkusMacher]

great review! really liked the song at the end!

[@syncworm]

The sequencer is so good! Love it! Standalone version would be great!

[@19Thecon]

This jam is next level, I don’t know much about modular but that jam makes me want to learn.. kudos Nick

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

Got my first Moog a M32! It is actually a 24db/oct ladder filter (p12 in the manual). Love it.

[@NedBouhalassaVideos]

Great review, and lovely track! I wish we could CV attack and decay, that would be so useful!

[@brianpotstra5063]

That track at the end Nick! wow.

[@tonalaxis]

Love the music piece at the end.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Really nice look at the M32's going to see what I can do with the two I have. Great demo.

[@CalebCromb]

Highly recommend using a compressor with the Mother32 to help maintain volume while adding resonance to the filter. I've tried a bunch, all the boss cs1,2,3 and several others.....best I've found is the Fender The Bends Compressor.

[@entertaintech4374]

Great tip, the Hydrasynth filter also gets a little wild too so this may help with that too

[@IconicPhotonic]

Is there any chance the Dreadbox Abyss will be the next review? Looking forward to it!

[@willmoore1305]

Nick, I would love to hear some of the sonic trickery you could cook up pairing a Mother 32 and a Dreadbox Erebus. Also, in absolute agreement with the masses on the fade-to-black jam. One of your finest!

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Very nice demo piece there at the end Nick!

[@royfroderos1137]

Really awesome ending track.
