The sound at 6:40 was just heavenly. I enjoyed every second of this and I’ll definitely be downloading the files! I love your set up, it’s a dream studio!

[@SoloRay]

Thank you so much!

[@NexxuSix]

6:29 listening to this on headphones and I’m absolutely blown away…. Very, very nice!

[@Jin-Hu]

That logic keystroke chefskiss - just noticed I was here last year too, I have to get into gear and start sampling my Matriarch.

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

That is a fantastic sounding pad my friend. I am totally surprised you only have three videos and only 89 subscribers (90 now. Lol.). Please keep making content on your channel. You sound very professional and charismatic. Assuming you continue to have good content and you stick with it, I foresee this channel growing a lot. It’ll be fun to see what happens.

[@SoloRay]

Thank you for your kind words Richard! I will keep going for sure! :)

[@JonManness]

Freaking genius! I haven't used Logic in a minute, but I'm blown away by how easy you made that sample pack. I hope UA takes note with LUNA for making samples!

[@tajik.yassin5203]

Bro Appreciate the knowledge of sampling a sound from the Moog and turning it into a poly wave synth. What’s amazing is that I was looking at video content for the Matriarch and it’s a BEAST! I will be purchasing one soon for that real Bass Synth, leads and customization. I’m in the process of redoing my whole setup and I’m keeping it simple but very powerful. I want that analog in your face but with BIG OPEN synth arrangements. Lastly I’m switching to logic I’ve avoided this DAW for long time but now I’m sold on it it has made some huge leaps as for creating and the big 2 “Sampling , Chord Arrangements. I’m going to check you out as for logic teaching. My Genre is RnB old school arrangement with a twist of the new, Sound Designing Hip Hop, J Dilla boom bap, and etc… Great Video

[@georgescdoodle]

This is a great experiment, I can't wait to try doing this for myself as I recently just got my matriarch (my first hardware synth). Amazing video!

[@SoloRay]

You totally should! If you upload anywhere I’d love to check it out!

[@greysmith8261]

Incredible

[@eventualinfinity3862]

Sick video! Subscribed. Will def stay tuned for more

[@kurtyhearty]

Who needs a Moog One!? Thank you, this was fantastic!!

[@clast]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@staysdemons]

This is awesome!

[@SoloRay]

Thank you!

[@brianmontana]

Love it. That would sound epic playing Adagio for Strings

[@soulSaysHi]

Sounds good! Check if your interface has dc coupled outputs so you can run the sampled instrument back into the matriarch for added fun.

[@dizzysdiamonds]

Wow !! Sounds stunning !!

[@namenaim1560]

Great patch .Thanks. Maybe best to drop the background drum loop though. Keep up good work.

[@virtualperfectioncowboy4075]

yo this is great, still learning new things about logic after all these years!

[@Jin-Hu]

Nice! Love the logic tip too!

[@NicolasMelis]

sounds amazing!

[@fadplastic]

Thank you for this! Great work!

[@tonytalamantes1062]

This tone rocks Broo!! So inspiring! You’re the man Solo!

[@SoloRay]

Thanks Tony!!

[@marcuspearson6214]

Really cool, I am gonna have to try this technique with my eurorack, I have some amazing steffcorp Arp2600 cloned oscillators that should do the trick. Thanks for the video.

[@SoloRay]

That would sound awesome!

[@jonathanettinger7593]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! After I gather the samples, would you happen to know which equivalent Ableton device would allow me to create the pad? I tried creating numerous instrument racks and all of the samples that I recorded from my own matriarch play at once, but somehow this doesn't have the same sound like yours does in the tutorial

[@marcbaires]

WOW! Amazing! Thank you so much! The sound is amazing!

[@SoloRay]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jac7k]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@SoloRay]

Glad you liked it!

[@tomtoczkowski]

Great. Instant Sci-Fi soundtrack

[@olinred]

GENIUS

[@barrnycharlton8951]

bloody sensational

[@ztkspace5885]

I have a Matriarch coming today (hopefully). Nice pad there bud, you should have gotten a jupiter. lol. Nice video. I is now a subscriber.

[@SoloRay]

I'd love a jupiter too! I'm a big roland guy for sure but there's something about the matriarch that really speaks to me. You're going to LOVE it!

[@ztkspace5885]

@@SoloRay yip, it is out of the box and sat above the polybrute on the rack. First impressions..................you can't mistake a moog. Got the CP251 out and wired it up within a few hours and spent the night droning with both synthesizers. I always suspected this would be a great partnership..............Polybrute and Matriarch............. I am cracking on but fekk it man, I am in the fantasy realm of Emerson again. Got to get my head around the way that the paraphony triggers but all in all I do LOVE the synth already.

[@777Witness]

I am trying to download this pad, but I get a message saying I have no permission. Is it still available? Thank you🙏🏻

[@drjandethlefs2257]

I think the Moog sounds fantastic on it's own, but it would be interesting to compare the sampled (poly) Moog with a virtual analog poly also through supermassive...would one be able to hear a difference and spot the Matriarch in a blindtest? Surley not in a mix... not critising the process, just wondering.

[@SoloRay]

Very interesting idea!

[@ztkspace5885]

I think as live sounds go as you're there in the room with the volume set at a level you can have a decent relationship with, you're always going to be able to tell the difference between moog hardware and a pad derived from a moog sample. There is something about the Radio Shack components that give a subtle movement and nuance,- creamy texture in a live situation that a sample cannot reciprocate but, only speaking from the point of view of someone that has traversed the radio spectrum right out into space so some might differ where the ear has a distinct gift of picking up so much from electronic music. Still though, I wouldn't balk at the idea of listening to music where the orchestration sounds wonderful in entirity and appreciated as a whole effort. You don't look at a painting by Yves Tanguy and target a particular corner to interrogate the pixelation?

[@noisearkitekt]

Truly wonderful!!

[@nevenmm]

Awesome video! Keep 'em comming. 🔥🔥👏

[@SoloRay]

You got it!

[@RetroPlus]

Amazing

[@elzurixmusic]

Still can't believe you only have 41 subscribers, lemme turn that to 42 real quick ;)

[@SoloRay]

Haha much appreciated!

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

Yeah I assumed it was a big channel with thousands of subscribers.

[@dazeja]

Love the sound you created but unless you need more notes than four it's quite easy to get amazing lush pads directly with matriarch, especially with Reverb added

[@SoloRay]

Technically yes, though in my opinion it's not very useful as you'll be restricted to one oscillator per note and your release times will end as soon as you play another note. But yes it is possible to do some very basic pads on the matriarch itself.

[@JydeeUK]

Beautiful bro 🙌

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

Subscribed.. this is fantastic dude thank you

[@777Witness]

What is the pad at the very end? It sounds incredible.

[@SoloRay]

Thank you! That's the sampled moog matriarch through valhalla supermassive!

[@EdCosico]

Wow, great job! I, too, dig your sound. Excellent presentation, sub’d.

[@bethanneray]

Amazing!!!!

[@spielor0815]

Is there an alternative for Logic Pro for Windows in terms of sampling?

[@tylersmith7925]

Damnnn so phat and lush at the same time!!

[@yi382]

Good stuff man that first chord in the outro hit me in my balls

[@jakelund6474]

Great video, but that title is misleading. I thought you were going to only be working with the Matriarch.

[@brianholloway7468]

Nice! I’m blown away by the ease of the Logic sampler. Did it create the loop points in each sample automatically too?

[@SoloRay]

Yes! The "Optimized" way of importing does a lot of the leg work for you. Very convenient. Though of course you can always go in and adjust them yourself too.

[@Metaxasofc]

Are the pathces anywere uploaded for matriarch please?

[@albertobellavia]

Amazing ! I have a question , which is the difference between Matriarch and Matriarch dark ? Only color ? Thank you in advance

[@SoloRay]

Yup! The color is the only difference.

[@johnnyraphaell]

Sounds like poly aftertouch, how did you move the volumes of the notes in and out? Great video! It gave me a lot of inspiration.

[@SoloRay]

What you’re hearing is me riding the volumes of the 4 individual oscillators. Similar result as poly aftertouch to volume or something but with essentially no control over the timing! Ha!

[@johnnyraphaell]

@@SoloRay aa now I understand. Thank uu!!!I heard about the secret of the "vintage knob" of the new prophet 5: Different envelope times hh. So i will ride the pitch just a bit, and the envelope times.

[@rogierverrijt3014]

Hi, thats a fantastic pad! Which preset of the valhalla supermassive did you use:)?

[@SoloRay]

Thank you! I believe I used one of the medium ones, "massive vocal" and then tweaked a few things from there.

[@robfel68]

Patriarch Poly moog next? I'm a fraid of the price tho :)

[@palewine]

Hey I tried getting the sounds from your site, but after I signed up, the dropbox link said I needed to get approved.

[@SoloRay]

Sorry about that! Just sent you a direct link!

[@stevejonesphd]

Howdy! I just was able to download the wav files, but the exs file didn't appear among them. Is that still available?

[@stevejonesphd]

Also, the samples I just downloaded were called "In Bloom," and they sound quite a bit different from the samples in this video. Did I receive the right files? Thank you so much!

[@SoloRay]

@@stevejonesphd ah you accidentally got something I haven’t finished yet haha! I’ll email you the correct link! Sorry about that!

[@stevejonesphd]

@@SoloRay No worries - thank you so much!

[@jo2058]

Does that technique work in other daws too? Would be handy to know how ist works in ableton :) such an awesome technique

[@SoloRay]

Absolutely! The sampler in Ableton can absolutely do this too, you just might need to manually set some more parameters. Simpler is a good option too that would get you a similar effect in just a few seconds.

[@jo2058]

Thank you for the response!

[@nielsbreugelmans876]

Sounds great ! Cant you make this in paraphonic mode on de matriarch ? I was planing to buy a matriarch that’s why I’m asking 😅

[@SoloRay]

Paraphony is awesome! But you are restricted to one oscillator per note, and you only have 4. Very different sound than a typical pad, but still super cool!

[@chrisyuo6474]

Hello! Thanks for nice video, I just realized Matriarch's output is not very loud as my expected, do you also crank up some volume on preamp or main volume? Or mostly boost digitally on DAW?

[@SoloRay]

Oh strange. I recorded this one through two API 512c's but I didn't add level really. Are you recording your matriarch straight into your interface? That should be plenty of level, but if it's still quiet, then I'd guess there's something else in the signal chain that's causing problems. If you're using a DI maybe check if there's a pad on? Tell me more about your setup and I'll get you sorted out!

[@jakewells9788]

What did plugin is that? That allows you to donthat ?

[@SoloRay]

it's the built in Logic Sampler with the free Valhalla Supermassive reverb!

[@rosenteo]

Nice video!!! Do you know which reverb preset on supermassive did you use?

[@SoloRay]

I think it was ballad vocal? I can't remember for sure, but they've added some new algorithms since I recorded this so there might be even better options now!

[@rosenteo]

@@SoloRay thx man!

[@coryjuba]

nice job dude

[@SoloRay]

Thanks!

[@Olivia-go8cx]

Hi Solo Ray! A question from Argentina. For multipropouse style of music Moog Matrirch or Arturia Polybrute? Thanks a lot and wonderful pads!

[@SoloRay]

I haven't used a polybrute in person, and I adore my matriarch. BUT if you want a hardware synth to cover as many bases as possible I think the polybrute is pretty tough to compete with. It just does so much. Both are fantastic machines!

[@ghreglouis6838]

Super great stuff here!

[@yunglady4078]

Does anybody know or can anybody tell me how i can put this into ableton? I love these sounds and really dont wanna miss them

[@SoloRay]

If you download that dropbox link there's a folder with the wavs that you can toss into whatever sampler you want and build it yourself! You just will need to manually set loop points etc. but yeah it's by no means exclusive to logic.

[@DerrickMitchell]

Hans Zimmer better take notes. Sounds sooo gooood! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼

[@logiqueraison5631]

why talkings heads on demo synths ...

[@abzee733]

It gets even better: Spend half the money on a Moog Grandmother and get the exact same results. You're welcome!

[@SoloRay]

Only 2 oscillators on the grandmother but yes you could do this with any synth really!

[@horowizard]

You're not turning the Matriarch into anything. Recording Monosynths for polyphonic playback has been around for decades.
