Moog IIIc / 2VCO unison

[fooloof]

If I didn't know better, I would have sworn this was a Minimoog, just from the sound of it.

replace the bushings, mate!

[AlainHubert]

Dirty pots, dirty jacks, dried-up keyboard bushings, out-of-tune OSC, poor tracking, this singing dinosaur sure is in need of some TLC.

But maybe in 45 years from now (I'm 46), I'll be needing new bushings (knees and hips), be out-of-tune (deaf) and in need of a good cleaning too! lol

If I had this priceless synth in front of me, I wouldn't be so rough with it though (pile of patch cords scratching the top of plastic keyboard keys, dripping contact cleaner all over it, etc...).

[fishybishbash]

Its like programming a wardrobe

[Mogpiano1]

Just about every synth up to the the early 70s was a bitch to keep in tune.

[zedster911]

there is something about connect wires and twiddling knobs.... even the rickerty noisey keyboard.... needs lots of effort but.......

[H71BCD]

Has this dude just broken into Tomita's studio - there can't be that many Moog / Mellotron rigs in Japan..........?

[GATIFOMO]

タンスか



[ajhitla]

even with this crappy YT quality i can imagine the fattness it provides heard live

[21ricky666]

and techno was born....

[jalves3000]

thanks for preserving and playing them all.

[jurennn]

this is amazing!

[gwargk]

Many synth vendors claim they can immitate analog so well these days.

Again and again I get assured however they don't. Not even the best virtual analog can touch this. I know it's a hype, but it's valid. You really can hear it easily, maby comparing wave to wave it's harder to find differences, but it's not about the waveform, it's about all those little changes in time. Warming up, moisture, contact noise, uncorrelated noise...

There's still a long road ahead for V/A to beat this.

[elmerexpress]

@gwargk:

You have a point: In the old days the makers of the analog synth said it was supposed to replace all other instruments (synthesize, right?). Somehow that never jived with musicians. They used the instrument to go new places instead!

In other words they found a new color in the palette of possible musical pictures. This is still the case in new instruments. For some strange reason producers still haven't got that one...

[mozartfx1]

I gotta Moog lllc on my iPhone....99cents.

[namesfransic]

need more low end brah

[Meteotrance]

if you want a modular try to build one with Doepfer modular device or other, cause the old modular Moog are very rare and expensive.

[dvamateur]

Wow! Even the sounds of plugging and unplugging the patch cords is musing to my ears. There's so much abundance of analog sounds around these days, though.... let's only hope it will stay with us as long as rap and hip-hop...

[castor3535]

like a thermal reactor this one lol :))

[darkhusker]

7:00 sounds like the chrono trigger soundtrack :p

[sapient110]

wow tho sounds absolutely unbelievable

u just do not get this sound from digital emulation

someday i will build my own modular synth

[aportilla007]

for 30000 to 80000 you can get many synth lessons....

[MaryStewart]

cool synth! :)

[swcom]

Cool, but thank god for presets what a nightmare!

[Falgroate]

Are you the same guy that did music for Urusei Yatsura?

[lordofzeapes]

welcome on board...

[TechnologyGod]

You know this could probably be done nowdays on a FPGA with a hardware interface board, accompanying software, a pc, and midi keyboard.

This looks more fun and offers a more tactile experience. Plus I bet the sound is unforgettable with the Moog, :n).

[Skumpaj]

Sounds like golden axe theme on meth and valium

[dotcom97]

0:55. Nice!

[PimpinBassie2]

Finally someone who plays some real music with modulars, instead of that stupid sequencing

[PraxisAxis]

@PimpinBassie2

Except he can't tune them properly... :/

[myleftnutts]

@PraxisAxis Well prax he did tune them properly,however his modular has the pre "921 and 921B" called the "901" series vco's,those vco's drifted like the ocean. the "921a and 921b's were more stable,because they used the "Pearlman design of temperature controlled oscillator" pearlman of "ARP instruments,Moogs competition.

[PWMaarten]

Loving it again @ 6:43

[iggyds89]

dope !

[amygdala3290]

yes i visited you!! now my constipation is relieved thanxs somuch!. pruuuupooooooooooopooooood!!!!­!!

[glict]

Hard to believe all this was needed to make synth sounds back in the 70's

[dwemmy]

Maybe it's the quality of the recording, but my Little Phatty sounds just as good for $1200.

[rformidable]

@dwemmy

defo the quality of the recording.........

to hear one of these things live would give you orgasmic pleasures that you may or may not understand......

trust me, nothing else comes close, not even the best modeling synths..

[napomania]

nice at 5.00

[alannein]

Great sounds man ...

remember me pink floyd.

[willglover3]

that is shit how much did you pay for that!

[sosiofu]

nice stuff dude!

how much do u want 4 this junk?

[SephynnXx]

long live prog rock!

[doom705]

lol my uncle has one at his studio its so sick lol

[thefishdog]

what a piece of kit that is, i love it.

how hard are they to come by.

flynn n e lincs.

[nathan13531]

lame

[bigkilo13]

youre stupid, this is sick

[kyledothailsatan]

I wish I had the money to throw away on that...or atleast the money period-ew...I wouldn't see the world outside of my box in a box if i did: ))))

[jld181818]

Beautiful...very pretty towards the end.

[atdkmail]

This is insane...

[heidi77b]

Nice hand coordination when fumbling with those patchcords...

... considering he's blind, deaf and just recovering from a serious hand-paralyzing stroke.

[Pudersepp]

@heidi77b

I mean, life is difficult.

[MaryStewart]

@heidi77b he's deaf?  must be tricky to make the sounds work. must not have been born deaf.

[creaseproofmofongo]

Rocket Science

[FFR2006]

What a great thing!!!!!!!!! Oldschool sound, yeah!

[pai167]

GRAND!!!!

[garty22]

Any chance you could se... oh, right.. composer.

[changes251]

Flying Fortress from Outer Space!

[chieftp]

aaaaachhhhhh!! sounds like the gopher I caught in me lawn mower!! is this guy a musician or a telephone operator?

[ObeeLektro]

I sure would not want to buy your modular synthesizer seeing the way you treat this poor thing.

[procyonetactarus]

a fuckink big up =))))))))))

impressioni di septrembre=)))4.35=))

[procyonetactarus]

PFM =))))))))))))))

[ppatfcb]

Simply orgasmic.

[skylerstupid]

oh god that thing sounds incredible

[plungerdrum]

PRESETS ARE FOR THE WEAK!!!!!!!

[ONEyeMarco]

I am digital, like i use a DAW and logic. and use mostly soft synths. the reason is because, buying an old analog synth can be very pricey. but i do like the analog sound.

[ablomodro]

soviet technology jaja respect for it but still soviet

[clone67]

Oh man! Please do not use any contact spray!!! It is evil!

Please get it repaired proberly! If you did have the money to buy this awesome wonder of an instrument than you can afford to get it fixed! And to all you digital laptop dudes...you simply do not understand...so please keep playing with your little plastic toys and do not make any childish comments...thank you.

[Pierluca1972]

Keep Moogin' pal! Don't listen to digital people. They have digital hears and hearts!!

[assgroos]

i don't care how many people will hate on my comment, but i would have no patience for this thing. I hate more than 2 wires, and that includes reason and the korg ds-10 wire programming grid. I can obviously do it, i never hear a difference in sounds except ambient sounds i sample in ableton.

Im just happy we have analog and digital synths that are only knobED

[poyofhell]

better use Reason or native instruments

[FourFootFagott]

No wonder Keith Emerson used his gigantic modular MOOG so much and insisted on touring with it!

[GTElwood]

Poor roadies XD

[psycircle]

mg..amazing....love it!!!

[duckmonsterX]

Thats a gorgeous old synth.

[cuerpoeperra]

Great Friend!

[cuerpoeperra]

Each Key sounds when you touch it (a slap) It`s normal? or it`s for your kind of play?.... Got some latency? ....Thankyou pal!

[17aKaT]

wow thats amazing....i would like to get into that but don't know where to start.....really good though.....

[firstavailable]

get a software emulation of Moog Modular by Arturia. You will get the entire instrument on your laptop, plus some things that are not possible on hardware version.

[Kalawaxishh]

Such a best !

I'm a little player with my Kraftzwerg

[Dylan1st1]

how much for a synth? you sell them yeah?

[thomas49th]

haha

[Surixurient]

Excellent sound! Do you use moogs in any of the films you compose for? which ones?

[GooglelyTube]

I'd forgotten all about these. Looks like you are a hotel operator connecting phone calls with all the patch chords!

[PWMaarten]

Love it @ 6:43

[cicillokakace]

OMG! you should have spent your life to plug in cables!!!

[omanafire]

Your keys sound great... Wonderful machine, needs some luvin' though... Thank you very much for sharing.

[PietroLemes]

the middle music isn't from journey to the center of earth ?

[astraltravellerr]

sounds alot like it, but not quite lol.

[Meteotrance]

sure it's vintage lol but it's a piece of museum ^^ and you right today the "Doepfer" company made great analog modular stuff, and if you need expressive and polyphonic synth try the new dave smith instrument like the prophet 8, this analog stuff can be really juicy like the great oberheim obxa.

[fauvent]

how much do you want for your synthetizer???? LOL (IM JOKKING IM JOKKING) :P

[dequadix]

Brontosaurus synth with oxide, only for collectors.... scritch...scratch...scrotch...

[Robbinsffxi]

Im glad this aint a computer!

[LeonardRockstein]

Awesome instrument is the III C...very manual but can make an seemingly infinite number of sounds. I first fell in love with the Moog modular when I heard Walter (Wendy) Carlos's recordings.

The sound quality in Yout Tube doesn't do it justice.

[rodolphesimon]

I built a large modular some years ago and I got sick of endless patching and painful shoulders. It was tedious and it didn't seem like the results matched the work. So I mothballed it and made a small "arp" like patchless module.

[micp4130]

what was he spraying that jack with?

[unclesaboin]

Contact cleaner

[bryceHUHwhat]

its called "technician in a can"

[synthy55]

nice synth, but any moog can make that particular lead sound easily. getting full use out of a synth that big is an art form on its own.

[bearinparis]

just my cup of tea.....

[rolficus]

dude this machine has more plugs on it than burt renolds scalp

[FLORENT2222]

I looooooove that sound !! It's unique !!

[digitalbroadcaster]

Hello operator. Please hold on whilst I try to connect you.

[Synthomania]

Made me laugh! :D

[fystasjoppheng]

This is what I call a synthesizer.

[bishop1e4]

Wonderful performance!

[bishop1e4]

What music is this?

Who is the composer?

[btpro]

hi,

This is my improvisation.

If you're interested in my music style, please visit

site "cdbaby" and search for "fumitaka anzai".

Thank you,

Fumitaka Anzai

[osek07]

@btpro u could easily compose the music for dragon quest one of my favorites...

[Falgroate]

@osek07

He probably did

[nicotinetech]

yes kaferere that is a point , but the problem with old guy's is that they are becoming deaf , you need to be in the room to understand , the trill you got from an analog synth ! Digital is an other tool just like analog one !

[kaferere]

I know this comment will not be popular but it seems to me that it's only young guys that like these old synths, older guys who had to use them back in the day thank the stars for software. Hours to set them up, tune them and they still sounded like a cat in a tunnel.

[VCO81]

find me an old guy I'll trade him my dx7

[alanphil]

Your comment brought a smile to my face. I have a moog in the basement that I really should fire up (I'm an old guy). So much easier to reach for the acoustic piano these days. "Cat in a tunnel" is a wonderful description. ;-)

[2112pk]

as a young guy my self i can say the alure of authentic insrtments a strong one.

from my limited experience with analog synths i find it's INFANTLY more satifying to have dailed in your out sound for about an hour and messing around with it, hell even lossing it and trying to find it again is an intresting way to spend an afternoon.

however with digital all i get is a sence of cold boring presents and monumentaly confusing edit peramiters.

but i have to say having a reset button IS a godsend.

[gustavoturm]

Well.. the choice of using or don't using presets is entirely yours, i make my music without presets and i spend all my day making presets for my music. And about the cold boring presets... We make music, and the interesting part of the music is the musical context, the music can be good with both digital and analog.

[bitsnake]

Show... i liked...

Showw... show... !

[NELLOARA]

GRANDEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hobbs360]

nice mellotron samples...

[zepromz]

Samples? what's he playing with his right hand then, a cheese sandwich? :)

[Hobbs360]

i mean the tape samples , brass, flute, string, there expensive, most people only have 2 or 3

[atakproductions]

By the time he make a good patch, I'll be sleep. Thank God for software synths.

[64mung]

Thats why I love my Moog mod.V software!!

[ikazlar]

By the time he's ready, your software will not hold a candle.

[jennybell420]

Superb! Gets my vote for being mega-dope!

[michmakker]

oh damn, that's got to be a mellotron.

[mooghammondb3]

at 4-5 mins, it sounds a bit like Tarkus. Keith Emerson used a 3c.

[berrybakker]

Indeed <3

[drrolloathotmailcom]

I have one :-)

[LuxX63]

You've whaaaattttt???Oh my GOD you've... You need to have a boat of money and with that instrument, you know very well that not enough! GOD synthesizers I believe, but better than a SYNCLAVIER not believe that yet esixte nothing!Or not?Please tell me!

[dawayitworks]

I want one too!

[mooghammondb3]

You could lock me up in a room with one of those and some food, and I'd be truly happy

[ChocloManx]

Amen.

[KuresunaZero]

god damn this instrument is amazing... YMO even own one of these. and like Koxygru said, this is a TRUE synth, nothing modern can live up to it, seriously

[Deelhs]

I'll stick to my doepfer. I prefer the eurorack systems and I'd never have enough room for a moog/.com modular.

[solestonose]

THAT, was my fantasy back in'70-'71!!!!!

I was brought to tears seeing this vid.

Yes w/ Wakeman, King Crimson, Moody Blues, ELP, Genesis...What awesome genre and a time to have lived...

[RonnieJ121]

Wow, that was impressive. Would love to own that piece of equipment. Endless hours of fun.

[HemlockDKiller]

3Ｃといえば松武氏も使用したモジュラーシンセ...

東風の後ろで鳴ってるオーケストラも多分これ?Moogはベース­の音が良いですよね。

[armalyte]

the 3c looks cool, and the moog filter of course sounds superb. but you also have the reverb tank and a few other tasty goodies...delcioux!

it'll be worth about 30 to 40k no doubt. you are in a league of a few people.

me?...ill stick to my humbel roland modulars

[AmbientUniverse]

WOW!

That was one of the best songs of the month!

My jaw dropped and I almost bursted into tears!

Thanks man!

[textrepellent]

patch titling is awesome! thanks!

[thefunkycrew]

so... many... knobs...

[Koxygru]

That's a TRUE synth, not like all those shitty Korg Triton and so-called "synth" !

Analog synths are not for fish-minded people ;)

[fatherfocus]

exelent estpo es como rick wakeman del disco del 73 las topografias del oceano

ta pitiao

[EricJK]

THat was one of the best Moog videos that ive seen. I didn't expect the Mellotron though! Please put out some more videos and letting the viewer know what connections were made is truly indespensible! THanks so much and what a fantastic RIG! Very unique sounds. Eric

[Greensmurf]

How the hell did you manage to get your hands on one of them? Im jealous. Awesome video

[acill71]

does it come with a technician because i reckon the manual plus diagrams would be equivelent to war and peace

[MasterPerotinus]

No fair! Where did you get that 3c?! You have a Mellotron too?...speechless. I can't even imagine how much that rig cost you. Count yourself among the very lucky few who can have a setup like that.

[Novaheart1998]

Does it make out-going calls? It's cool but it takes 20 minutes to make a sound.. ugh! And it probably has no memory.. ugh! Still, i wouldnt mind one. :)

[2112pk]

dosnt need memory, it's all based of the phsical positions of the dials and wires.

i think

[mutastant]

fäd sound....I like it

[Codackussell]

Ah yes, modular synthesizers... Awesome!

[janenil]

thanks for the information line, cool instrument.
