Dude, this video is next level incredible. Your instruction is the best I’ve seen on YT. Most videos go instruction OR performance. Or they go instruction for 30 mins, followed by 5 mins of demo performance. You have seamlessly combined instruction and performance in such a beautiful, effortless, and smart way. Your compositions and fluency on these instruments is nothing short of inspiring. I’m so impressed. Thank you for blowing my mind and getting me into these instruments. I just became a patron and subscribed. Amazing work. So much respect.

[@mylarmelodies]

Ahh this is amazing, bless ya Jack! And thanks for everything you do 🙌

[@hexial]

My god. The end was literally jaw dropping 😍

[@mylarmelodies]

Thanks m8!! Hope you're well

All good here, hope you and your clan are well :) Jo and I getting in to doing live streamed jams with the M32 and DFAM. Might have to add this to it!

[@dmartin_sound]

Agreed! What a finale.

[@NimrodScott]

Good show Alex, and the finale was classic!

[@classicalguitarchase]

mine didn't end ( I put it on loop )

[@CinematicLaboratory]

You can actually hear the sheer awe and admiration in your voice. Another great presentation, but the best are with the stuff you love. You're not selling it, you're buying it yourself.

[@replicand]

This is outstanding! Three things I just learned: 1. I devoted three months exploring the Subharmonicon in isolation and in conjunction with the Schillenger system, because it's such an unusual instrument and I understood that going in. And while I still loved it, I felt it was limiting because 2. sometimes I'm slow. I kept the tempo within "normal drum machine range", 10 o'clock and less. The tech manual says the tempo rate is 30 (or whatever) to 3000bpm, not making the connection that long subdivisions such as 13 /7 would need much higher tempos to develop polyrhythms. Your tempo rate was MUCH higher than I used, which changes everything. 3. It also never occurred to me that I need a second DFAM for the highs. I previously assumed that role to be performed by the sequencer + resonance of the Mother. I truly thank you for inspiring me, and I finally feel like I'm ready to create.

[@usualatoms4868]

This soundscape is my favorite of anything I've heard from you. Really really nice! Thank you!

[@MonitorSmith]

Your feel for this - sound, texture, structure - is some of the best I have heard. You conjure magic at will.

[@mylarmelodies]

👍Thanks m8, good gear helps!

[@carloschafin1]

Wonderful jams and I can't help but smile seeing your desktop anointed with the newer devices made by such iconic companies as Eventide and Moog. What's old is new.

[@mylarmelodies]

Totally - Kraftwerk were doing just that - in 1976...(!)

[@mod.3x]

Maaan I still come back to this Video every few Months since you released it, just to hear that final Jam at 20:20 again. Gives me a rush every time! One of the best Synth demos on KZbin, period

[@mylarmelodies]

🙌 thanks m8

[@BenPlunkettReynolds]

Unbelievable. That end made me reach that place of peak joy where you can't smile anymore and I just burst out laughing. Sooooo good. Jesus I need this setup

[@mylarmelodies]

🙌

[@sliceofsparta8985]

Two DFAMs, a Mom and a Sub is the perfect 4-Moog system. The unbelievably awesome nature of this video proves that. I only wish I could get mine to sound as good as yours!

[@J1M0TEE]

I agree - this jam is insane. He makes them sound soooo good. Why two DFAMs though? Could he have conceivably made this jam with just the one?

[@MrDonc78]

@@J1M0TEE You can create percussion and tuned bass lines/arps simultaneously with cv patching pitch/vel/gate from a m32 or sequencer.

[@Genshi]

Always the best videos when it comes to this stuff! You've made me buy so many things when I watch your videos...

[@J1M0TEE]

I hear ya... This video may cost me a couple of grand! :D

[@sinepilot]

I've been so intimidated by modular. They can make amazing sounds, but it always seemed like they weren't spontaneous enough, everything had to be crafted painstakingly bit by bit (the patching process). I'd talk myself out of diving deeper with thoughts like "but what if I just want to JAM?" These three boxes from Moog seem like a great entry for endless spontaneous but still very listenable noodling. Just purchased my Mother 32, it arrives tomorrow. I intend on adding DFAM and Subharmonicon in short order. Thanks for the demo!

[@sqwr.z2357]

This is the new benchmark in synth demo. Truly remarkable Alex !

[@ClearMountainProvisions]

I have been waiting for someone to make this video! I love it! As an owner of the DFAM and Mother-32 already, I cant wait to get my hands on the Subharmonicon.

[@fuzzpope]

Yeah yeah, buy stuff, blah blah, but: PHENOMENAL performancing, one of your best uploads, which is saying something. Well done, well done, highly enjoyed.

[@angrybobdylan]

I've watched this all the way through 3 times, what an awesome performance

[@driftergrey]

It's really good. The quality of the timbre of these instruments is excellent.

[@precarious333music]

Now that looks like a fun system. The units really seem to compliment each other.

[@jsogman]

Def the most beautiful demo I've seen yet. Just wow thankyou for this!!!

[@ThePedalboardOrchestra]

Very inspiring demo of these three Moogs. I love the term "Moog melody system". 🖤🖤🖤

[@ringandtones]

When you started playing I got a BIG smile on my face that wouldn't go away until the end of the video. What a freaking awesome setup to just explore, jam and have fun.

[@drlohertz8233]

Best demo of this synth I’ve seen so far! Some technical explanation is ok but ultimately, I just want to hear what it can do. You nailed it, thanks

[@Iain2000]

This looks my dream setup. Brilliant demo. Loved the finish.

[@RhysP65]

This is the best review of all three of these synths that I've seen. I've got a DFAM & Mother 32 & now I have to decide what I'm going to sell to enable me to add a Subharmonicon to the system...

[@jeshum66]

Have a Mother 32, knew the Subharmonicon would be my thing totally, but after hearing your jam unrhythmical me even wants the DFAM!

Great to hear some actual music here.....as opposed to sounds in some of the other review, good job.

Awesome. One moog alone like the DFAM or M32 is pretty impressive but in a combo like this , a superb performative combination! And all warm deep analog too!

cool setup- I just got my DFAM and having blast with it and Leipzig v3 for desktop synth fun. You motivated me to get the Subharmonicon/Mother combo.

[@SynthesizerPlanet]

Such a tasteful review and explanation...placed my order.

[@Neurotypique]

my favourite subharmonicon video so far because the musical applications vs review ratio is perfect! particularly like that 18:00 part

[@RinnEryr]

After all these years I got to say thank you for your demos, Alex! You sold me on the DrumBrute many years back and made it musical while others couldn’t. In the meantime I mastered that machine and managed to make it sound incredibly unique and punchy, also thanks to your techniques. I always loved Moog synths and have used emulations of them in VST for years. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about owning an actual Moog in physical form. You might have pulled it off once again, just like you did many years ago. And if I get the lot here in the studio, I’ll hope to post a similar comment like this to one of your future videos years from now. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing many machines justice in ways the original designers only dream of when they’re putting in the first cables on the breadboard.

[@mylarmelodies]

Thanks Jim, super kind!

[@7177YT]

I knew this video was coming when the subharmonicon demos started to drop. It's as good as I thought it would. Thank you! (:
