my Minimoog - a little Solo with Delay and Distortion

the effects: with Kurzweil Mangler:
at 1:50 Laserverb
at 2:48 Delay Pan L-R
at 5:15 Tube Scream - Distortion
at 7:00 Delay Pan L-R
also used:
Lexicon Lxp-1: Reverb Hall
Lexicon Lxp-5: Delay
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.

can you tell me more about that? seems great!

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

Thank U... so much..

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.

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.

no pants.

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

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

SPECTACULAR!!! I WOULD BUY THIS ...MAKE AN ALBUM!!

[@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?

[@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

[@ImaginationBlue]

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

[@ILTK]

Way back, I had a memorymoog, a mini, a moog source, and a mono/poly, sold them all when the digital wave started to afford stuff like emulator III, Prophet 2000, Emax etc.. Kill me :(

[@TheEquinoxeHD]

ILTK What have you done...

[@ILTK]

***** I know, but back then it was the hottest new thing with digital and sampling, I remember the 2 mb expansion for my emax cost the same as a nice car and the emulator III even more. Little did we know how quickly the digital stuff dated, yet the analog still sounds fantastic. I also had a 909 and an 808, juno etc.. sold those to get an 8 track tape deck with MMC sync to cubase and opcode studio vision and a syquest drive lol

[@brendanbucan]

Wow man, I gotta say.. I've watched tons of Minimoog videos but this is just by far so much more super spectacular. Three reall yis nothing that sounds like that. I have a Sub 37, but there is something more organic about the minimoog. It has what I refer to as a "wooden" analog sound. Love it

[@TheGreatUtopiaCat]

you like the sound of this better than your sub37? I'm considering getting a sub37 but hesitant to spend the cash...korg has the ms20 and minilogue's out...the deepmind is a thing too...idk what to get

Well done, sir! The (pentatonic?)scale starting ~2:00, that is "Lazerverb", or what breaks down into a ping-pong-->reverb, correct? I've been trying to replicate that effects chain but don't own the Mangler...I'd love some specifics

[@sK3LeTvM1]

+ Moogfreak. Wake up man. All of the Pulse parameters are controllable via a Midi controller maybe ?? Check for example on KZbin the demo between the ASB MiniMax and the original. There is NO difference. Stop feeding the mythical idea that analogs sound better over digital. That is bullshit. Ever heard Lynx DA convertors with a Moog VST ??? So get real my friend. I've owned my first analog synth in the 70's (SH2000) and sold my last analog in the 90's (M12)...so stop telling blabla. With all respect for the guy who plays the keyboard in this demo like it should be done, but this is perfectly doable on any other synth with enough control surface.

[@grahamemaxwell9757]

I keep coming back to this. It really is so good. Don't take it from me though Im only a classical guitarist with an interest in Moogness I have no musical ear whatsoever and play percussion in a brass band just to improve my ear...lol Feckin Outstanding Sonic Delivery.

[@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

[@ericrohrbaugh2713]

Hi from New Zealand. I have just purchased a Voyager Electric Blue from NZ believe it or not..Tried to get one in from the US but too much in import charges 1K + When I was first looking to get one about 3 weeks ago I came across this clip which I think sold me the idea about getting into Moog and analoge synthesis. I pick it up tomorrow from Wellington. I have not clue what to do with it yet but F Mixolydian will be on the hot list. Thank You for a mind blowing performance all be it 7 months late.
