Tycho & Kaelin Ellis Explore the New Moog Model D Reissue

One on side, we have a Grammy-nominated electronic producer who has used an original Minimoog for nearly two decades. On the other, a rising star of the beat community who sculpts drums and basslines from VST and hardware clones. Together with one vintage Model D and one brand new Model D Reissue, they share their music-making processes and create something new. Learn more on Reverb News: bit.ly/3ERbxfQ

[@JorbLovesGear]

Whatever conversation led to putting these two together, please have more of those chats. Absolutely love this format, just 2 musicians who might never cross paths otherwise exploring gear together, wonderful idea.

[@Reverb]

Thank you so much Jorb!

[@gregbeaudry]

As one of Jorb’s patrons, I can gladly say I’d rather buy a Behringer Model D and still have enough left over for another 208 years of supporting Jorb lol

[@KD-cobain]

@Reverb please feature Jorb in videos or I'll stop watching (real)

[@RobertDorschel]

DITTO. The more obtuse the duo, the better.

[@davidhrivnak]

I totally agree! It's such a good idea. I love how they started off a little tentative and then ended up having fun just being two musicians excited about cool sounds together

[@eladreltuc]

Every artist takes an instrument and makes it their own. It's so cool how you can hear Tychos sound as soon as he starts messing with it ❤️

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I have a Behringer Monopoly and there Model D is bassed on and sounds like the real Moog ten times less the cost.

[@seankarns]

@@HOLLASOUNDS Great!

[@blankspace0000]

There are certain artists that imprint their style onto every piece of gear they use. Solar Fields is another great example of this imo.

[@rowegardner9673]

Dude these two need to do a record together. That would be so dope!! Feel like they’d perfectly compliment each other.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Would of been good to of had a view where We could copy the patches because everything is on the face you can pretty much make every sound you hear if you copy the same positions of all knobs and switches.

[@Tychomusic]

that's exactly what's happening :) kaelin came back out a couple weeks later and worked on the new album with me. super inspiring guy

Scott getting so excited talking about music creation is infectious. Loved it.

[@int_pro]

OMG PLEASE PUT OUT AN ALBUM TOGETHER! Just you two noodling around and making some of these delicious, soothing retro sounds. Listening to this was joyful. Pleeeaassseee do! ❤

[@XanderEwald]

The perfect synth: Simple, versatile, good sounding. Minimoog never gets old, it’s just a piece of magic.

[@ingoodmusic]

and ridiculously expensive

[@XanderEwald]

@@ingoodmusic Is it though? The price is lower than second hand units and almost half of what it cost in the 1970s.

[@ingoodmusic]

@@XanderEwald n 1974: US$1,595.00

[@TheAlburp]

It’s a $5k monophonic synth that is ridiculously overrated.

[@TheAlburp]

@@XanderEwald yeah they had no daws and vsts in the 1970s so obviously it’s a very silly comparison. It’s primitive synth technology. Something like phase plant($200) erases this thing out of existence, so if this simple thing is the perfect synth, then phase plant is a god by itself.

[@DeckardTrinity]

One of the best "synth" videos I've seen - great conversation around the technology and the music making process.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

You can't copy the patches because its filmed in a way so you cant.

[@Noise-Conductor]

Thanks for letting 2 artist come together & explore instead of making it a beat battle type of thing👍🏾👍🏻

[@gabrielmiko_]

the pad that Tycho tuned at 10:16 minute was one of the most beautiful tones that this box produced, that's why the analog sound will forever be unique to me…

[@LaminarSound]

God I love Scott's chord and melody phrasings. Even when he plays lines that are completely different, they all sound completely, fully, like Tycho.

[@robertportillo7723]

I know right? Why?

[@officialmoondancer]

Exactly why this synth is an undeniable classic

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

true

[@hzalk4952]

People saying this is not worth it.. This is history This is a peace of art U play this and u can remember all the history this thing is all about If u don’t like the price and can’t afford it at least appreciate the history and the people who built this by hand 😂

[@al.cavalu]

Isn't this just a clone of Behringer Model D though (with attached keyboard)?

[@jennyheidewald5006]

Out of this came Kaelin Ellis beats in Tycho music on the new Tycho album, Infinite Health, and in the song Time To Run. It's great, love it so much!

[@Ponchy]

Dude I could watch these guys talk about and mess around on synths all day. I was lucky enough to see Tycho open for Interpol for the first time this year and I was blown away.

[@lundsweden]

I've learnt a lot by watching this (again and again). Love Tycho and his patch design is out of this world good. I'm using UAD's Minimoog plug, I definitely am recreating some of these sounds using the plug, and using these patch ideas as a springboard for making my own, unique patches.

[@jennyheidewald5006]

I love watching artists talk shop. :D I'm hoping to pick up some tips, Tycho is my fave! Thanks for doing this, very cool.😁

[@LeonTodd]

Great format. Didn't expect to hear "Minimoog" and "Bogner" together!

[@lo-firobotboy7112]

I will likely never own a Model D but I'm lucky enough to own a little MG-1 and it's one of the creamiest, instruments in my studio. I'll always take a simple, well engineered instrument over a feature-laden plugin, VST, or plugout.

[@Chrischin222Wiley]

Hey dude, if you have an IPad or macbook, it's an app called the moog model d made by the moog music company. It's literally the actual moog model d and it's very great. I'd say invest

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Buy the Behringer Model D or Poly D they literally sounds identical and cost $250 and $450.

[@spurv]

Everyones talking about doing a side-by-side sound comparison with the Behringer version. I want to see a comparison on craftmanship, user experience and UI.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I suspect Moog will attempt to prohibit affiliated channels from even mentioning Behringer. Its probably going to be a good few months before We see someone put the Behringer and Moog side by side.

[@SwishStillPimp]

Synths bringing the community together. I love it

[@ClifBratcher]

[@crime_wavcorp]

@@mrkeeny i didn't even know they re-issued it in 2016. shows how much i know. i'll watch it.

[@Docdaman4]

They sound nearly identical. If you did a blind test, you most likely couldn’t determine which was which. When Behringer does a copy of analog equipment, they’re usually spot on. You’d be better starting out with a Poly D than investing 5k in what is basically a collector’s item. Also, the Poly D is a more capable synth. I’m not saying the Minimoog reissue is bad, I’m just saying you can get that sound for MUCH cheaper than 5k.

[@crime_wavcorp]

@@Docdaman4 i gotta say, when i play on the prophet 10, part of what i admire is the build quality of it. there's something to be said for that. is that worth 4 or 5k? ehhh i don't know bout that. i guess if i was planning on passing it down to my boy, possibly. i know it would hold value at the least.

[@Docdaman4]

@@crime_wavcorp Oh yeah, the reissue definitely looks/feels/plays better than a Poly D. I mean, for the price it fucking better! But with the extra oscillator, built in Juno-style chorus, built in distortion, and the ability to play paraphonically, the Poly D is a more capable and (I’m gonna say it) better sounding synth

If you want hardware sythersizor then buy Behringer Poly D a very good sounding Minimoog copy.
