This is amazing. I have some semi-modulars that I'm learning - the Grandmother being one - and it's been great. But this video really lifted the veil for me in terms of how versatile these are, and how bringing in external modules actually works in practice. I'm new to modular so this is quite exciting to say the very least.

Ive almost hit the buy button on multille Moog's over the years and idk whats made me hesitate but i finally got a great deal on a grandmother noir. Ive had a concept shoegaze-y solo project for years and as ive moved away from making other styles and focus more on this, ive been brainstorming and experimenting on blurring the lines between synthesis and a huge pedal board for my guitars and making a hybrid shoegaze style....i contemplated long and hard over what mono i want next versus whats going to give me best what i need in my budget. Always curious about this synth since its debut. Got one. I think i made a good choice with how deep it goes with modular or other semi mod synths.

Thanks for this. That was very interesting. I would love to hear examples of differentfilters run in parallel and or series each having its own envelope. I don't have any sort of synthesizer right now. Just can't afford set up like that. However, I am blind and all these digital synthesizers with menus are completely useless to me because I can't see the screen. But modules with knobs and switches and plugs would be usable. Thanks again.

I actually tried that the other day! They worked pretty well, but it was a bit limited, I was hoping to use the SEM filter with the GM, but unfortunately the filter doesn't have an input on the patch panel, so you have to run the whole synth through the external input.

once upon a synth Interesting (and disappoint). I’m surprised the SEM filter doesn’t have an input patch. I wonder if the version of the SEM with the front panel patching does? It seems to have more patch points than the one with MIDI.

@roboslobonator6 жыл бұрын
Great choices! I havent landed on one yet but I'm going to start with the grandmother and then maybe later pick up the minibrute 2s. My thinking behind that is the moog grandmother is a powerhouse of top tier sound and plenty of versatility. The minibrute may have an extra envelope and a couple things I cant remember but I dont think ill miss that since you have the ability to add extra things in as demonstrated in this video. The minibrute 2s has a phenomenal sequencer and other features I like but sound for me is priority #1, and features, effects, and other things can always be patched in. Both instruments are a great value, but that spring reverb and classic, full moog sound is unbeatable. Good luck!

Hey man, just found your channel. Stylish, informative...awesome! Question: I'd like to get a hardware synth to learn and enjoy - particularly to use with my Touche and Omnisphere (with their new v 2.5 features). I recently tried the Prophet 6 and loved the warmth of the sounds and it felt really intuitive to me. But I haven't explored as many synths as you have. What do you recommend from all the synths you've tried?
@onceuponasynth6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! The Prophet 6 or OB-6 are definitely top notch and you certainly can't go wrong. I'm assuming you want a polyphonic synth since you mention that one right? In that case the options are a bit more limited. Sonically, the DSI polysynths are probably your best bet out of the new synths being made today. If you don't mind vintage synths, then check out the Juno 6/60 or the Polysix, both sound lovely, but are much more limited synthesis-wise. It's hard to recommend a synth because it comes down to personal preference. If your gut tells you to go with the Prophet 6, then I say do it, you can't go wrong, and if you don't follow your gut you might regret it (in my experience). Good luck!

Hey, Im curious about how to connect an external instrument into the grandmother. I have tried just plugging my guitar into it but it doesn't sound. Is there anything I can do to figure this out? I can't find to seem a lot of information on the manual. Thank You!
@noise-rk5wz6 жыл бұрын
Humano en Tránsito Probably VCA is not triggered. You could check it by playing guitar and holding note at grandmother at the same time. If you will hear guitar then that is the problem. Some synths have toggle to turn on vca all the time, if grandmother doesnt have it then you could just try to stuck some piece of paper between two keys so one of them is always pressed :) The other problem might be that signal from guitar is too low.
@onceuponasynth6 жыл бұрын
/noise is correct it's the VCA. Just flick the little switch in the VCA section to "Drone" and then you should be able to hear it (also make sure the filter is completely open :)). I found when I ran my guitar through it the signal was a bit weak, so I had to amp it first.
