a Minimoog ...this sound should be never missed....after buying these Synth for € 1300.-- in 2002 I restored this Instrument. Change wheels, knobs.. clean the keyboard and coloured the wood... it's sound great the oscillators wonderful tuned..
enjoy this little Solo.. I can't get enough from this synth.

Best mistake an engineer ever made was that miscalculation of the filter input levels. Man what a beautiful noise.

[@giordanorosadoni5440]

can you tell me more about that? seems great!

[@adam.recording]

@@giordanorosadoni5440 i might be wrong but i think its about any setting higher than 6 on most moog’s mixers overdrive the filter input

This remains one of my favorite videos of all time. The shear power of the Moog and you're spaceship operator level of skill is a match made in heaven. I can not thank you enough for uploading this magnificent piece of art.

[@synthi62]

Thank U... so much..

[@nate_creates]

The second I saw the words “spaceship operator” I thought “wait a minute, I know that guy!” I too find myself coming back to this video, because as far as I’m concerned, this solo is now a classic in the world of synthesizers.

Dear All, I have already received so many wonderful comments for this video. Thank you all. The Minimoog and I are still a good team. It brings me to produce my meanwhile sixth Minimoog video. So-- you'll still hear and see me this year.:-)

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Just found your vid. Absolutely brilliant...like a cross between Human League's Travelogue and Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene/Equinox albums.

Thanks!

Please never stop making music and start selling it please!

[@datisookzo]

synthi62 do you have the old osc board or the newer stable one?

[@theway3058]

So amazing. Hearing you jam made me run into my studio and put a note on it to hookup the eventide to my model D and get weird with it in the morning. Way cool thanks.

[@ernestbuckley8671]

As an owner of the Model D, I can honestly say I love this synth through and through. This is such a beautiful demo of this glorious piece of art. Thanks for sharing. Long live MOOG!

[@PauloConstantino167]

i love it thru and thru much more than you

[@LFOVCF]

Like hearing a Spitfire test it's engines, at the start. The frequency beating of two side by side, ready to take off. Fantastic demo!

[@HrLBolle]

I would rather says it sounds like a multi engine startup, like in bringing NR. 1 up to service rpm and then throttle up NR2

[@PhilBusby]

Oh my goodness yes! Is there anything more moving than the sound of a Spitfire engine starting?

[@LordFener73]

VERY VERY VERY GOOOD...Finally someone show the dark/sweet side of the minimoog with real sound ...and real music ... !

[@OrganicPickups]

This is by far one of the best improvisations I've seen on keyboard. Way to know your Moog brother!

Thank you all for this wonderful comments

But i think, not exist like an a moog, first analog synthesizer on the world

[@ImaginationBlue]

That was just gorgeous. Your playing is aggressive and sensitive. One contrasts with the other. Love the delay, and filter modulation. Thank you.

[@Totally007]

Absolutely brilliant ! I have a Moog sub 37 that absolutely love. The way you play this and the sounds you did with the delay is absolutely wonderful. I am a professional composer and the keyboard player for over 30 years. And it's always so nice to hear someone do something wonderful , With a Moog ! Regards TotallyKenny

[@gregkeen6637]

Just saw this. Beautifully done! It's a rare event to hear someone with enough talent, to bring out the pure rich, lush sounds of a Moog as you have done here. Thank you! More please!

The best Model D and Mangler demo on KZbin. Moog should put this on their channel now that Model D is reissued.

[@shookstylez]

no pants.

[@chieftp]

Marcusmiller you don't need pants when you have a minimoog

[@5ky1ar]

chieftp You can't /afford/ pants if you've bought a minimoog

[@chieftp]

Skylar Francise that's why I'm going to be getting a waldorf pulse 2 instead.

[@shookstylez]

Skylar Francise would you rather have... 1000 Different Pants in all shapes and colors? Or 1 Minimoog... THATS THE REAL QUESTION

[@synthi62]

Marcusmiller the sound of the Minimoog takes off my shoes, and my pants too...but it is possible to own a Minimoog AND pants :-D

[@peterdefrankrijker]

Wow, this is gorgeous! I can remember the time when all science and kids' programs on TV had a moog in the leader music.

[@JonManness]

You made this mono synth sound like an 8-voice! Incredible playing!

[@richjanus6629]

Tangerine Dream would have loved you..... In my mind.....A master piece

[@wickrider]

there are not many artists that made me appreciate electronic music. Especially, in it's purest form. Vangelis, Daft Punk and now you. not many pieces of genius posted on youtube. you, are a genius of the minimoog, i will argue with anyone who thinks otherwise. thanks, this is fenomenal music to listen to. all your sessions are fantastic. i you records, i will gladly pay to hear your music. regards,

[@KotatkoVonDrapek]

i've been coming to this for years

[@jackgrothaus2722]

Its been over 5 years and I just keep coming back to this video. The tube scream song might be the coolest audio that has ever entered my ears. Its the perfect score for a movie about space explorers who've landed on another planet that harbors life.

[@fnersch]

My roommate got a Minimoog back in my school days in 1973. Nice to see it ressurected again in this video. Never did own one but did get a Prophet 10 about a decade later and still have it. Love synthesizers!! Great performance- very inspiring.

[@adesyndicate]

That was freaking spectacular. This is the kind of music I love to hear and hope to create when I get my own Minimoog.

[@303otto]

yeah man, you and your minimoog was meltet into one piece - one solid block of fluid sound dissolving onto the space of frequencies :D fantastic performace!

[@Joaquinoalgoasi]

I wish I could see you play everyday for the rest of my life! What a video! What a talent! What a sound! What a Synthesizer! I've watched this video a thousand times and I still get the same feeling that I got the first time. The whole video is amazing, but the 5:13 part makes me feel in the middle of the space, in a spaceship, watching something (something BIG) blow up... Thanks for uploading... Really amazing.

Hey synthi62 ... great performance on you Minimoog ... brilliant control over the sonic capabilities of this "monster"-synth ...

Hello, I previously owned a minimoog and sold it in the 1990's. That was the worst decision of my life. I then found this Minimoog in 2002 and will never sell it. There are musical instruments that "fit" a musician. You should never sell them...

[@MD_is_me]

I was looking for opinions on why the Model D was held in high regard (beyond it's historical significance), came across an old thread on Gearslutz where the poor OP was utterly vilified and trolled, then found a link to this buried within all the vitriolic posts. I get it now. It's not just the "sound" but the simple UI that allows for this kind of intimacy with it. Watching it being played with the same type of adroit technique as a masterful acoustic instrumentalist illustrates how the simple UI works to make it an "instrument" in the classical sense of the word. I've watched it four time already and it's still amazing. Masterful. It almost sounds as if the first part is a bit of a nod to Karlheinz Stockhausen's Helikopter-Streichquartett

[@vrs1977]

again best demo of the minimoog on here nice to hear a wide variety of what it can do other than the usual bass/ leads- i once had a mini when i was younger and had money but stupidly sold it :(- i am currently building a replica as its the closest thing to getting a real mini that ill get - your vid will give ,me the enthusiasm to carry on with it through the hard bits
