[TehChiken]

So what did you do in 1:53 ?

[SimmonsDrums4life]

14 people rather plays on a Casio Tone Bank than an Prodigy! 

[MDJarv]

Sounds like Boards of Canada.

[WizLaudan73]

"i wanna marijuana, i wanna marijuana, i wanna marijuana"

[qualityholiday]

MASTER PIECE

[christopherpscott]

[RoadDog56]

Fantastic thanks u for posting. I have a Moog prodigy too and can learn from your video.

[salvadory]

[PanicPictures]

Ab 1:52 ... genial. Mal wieder toller Sound.

[retrosound72]

@PanicPictures

:))

[lesOpaulO]

1:52 <3 Sound is so good !

[skinnypuppy1]

dude that is a fat synth sound!!!

[IntensiveCareProd]

Lovely, is this midi? Could you let me know where I can get mine upgraded to midi or CV?

[zbawca2009]

absolutely great, you have to upload as a composition with much better quality... just do it :)

[RodrigoCoelhoAudio]

hi, I have a Dave SMith Prophet 08. Do you know if I can sequence the prodigy with prophet's internal sequencer?

best

[retrosound72]

@RodrigoCoelhoAudio

Midi to CV Interface when the Prodigy has CV/Gate Ins

[KyoukenOkami]

hmm reminds me of depeche mode- do you think they used one? I know they deffinately used some kind of moog

[BelgianBeatArchives]

What's the price today of a Moog Prodigy?

Thx

[ChunkieTehMaster]

@JimmySpangle hahahahahaha. Dude, you made me smile

[lucullusxerxes]

up until 1:53 your synthesizer is saying "marijuana".

[krississ]

@lucullusxerxes Escuche lo mismo! que flash

[slowthunder416]

@lucullusxerxes Haha, i think i even heard say "Medical Marijuana" a few times

[WizLaudan73]

@slowthunder416 HAHAHA LOL@Medical marijuana

[TheMintCobra]

@lucullusxerxes What is heard...can never be unheard. Thanks a lot.

[asifineededaname]

@lucullusxerxes that's funny, i was hearing " he had a bonet" over and over again

[omnipitantlyoriginal]

Sweet!

[typeanoise]

1:53 is awesome.

[kaine180]

Very nice as always, i wan't a Minimoog Voyager... but i don't have the cash. Mabie i will get this

[SilentMohai]

This is HEINEKEN.... Why? Because it SOUNDS GOOD!

[MoveOverCasanova]

great sound! and how did you get that sequence done?

external sequencer , arpeggiator or.....?

great how the envelope fights with the ryhthm)!!

[retrosound72]

@MoveOverCasanova

sequenced by the SCI Pro-One internal step sequencer

[JoelisRich]

you sir, made my day

[joeryanisaocelot]

brilliant :')

[coledeluxe]

I don't understand how we have equipment like the analog synthesizer as a tool in music yet we settle on so much shitty digital sounding bullshit. I guess it's cheaper... I hope this style comes back.... I could of sworn I heard a Juno6 the other day in a Lady Gaga song...

[GaxAngel]

I think it really is just down to the fact that digital is more convenient, especially when it comes to home recordings etc. I love the analog sounds though =] It's the same with cameras, film is so much effort but the quality is better, digital is more convenient for editing you can just pop your card in your pc and everything's there. I think analog will never die out though!

[Gilleece666]

Personally I think both analog and digital should be appreciated for their individual sounds. People shouldn't focus so much on making digital synths sound like analog, we should embrace the new spectrum that digital brings to the table.

[beatsiz]

People bastardize music and musicians get lazy so they just produce as much as they can as fast as they can.

[pkpaulkersey]

Nothing sounds like a Moog, but a Moog.

[hvylobster]

damn. acid.

[aw5omeFRAZA]

hey fellas, i was just wondering if its humanly possible to get an analogue synth such as this for under $100

coz ive looked everywere ya no, ebay, online music stores, billy hide and stuff like that and no dice

so yeah any advice wood be great :P

[xnonsuchx]

Any DECENT vintage analog synth in good working order is usually going to cost at least 2-3 times that. For less, you'd have to be pretty lucky to run across a steal. Thrift stores (ones that carry electronics, at least) are sometimes worth checking out as well as some pawn shops that carry a lot of instruments.

[kyledothailsatan]

you could try to find one that's broken... You can easily fix them if you have knowledge of electronics and know how to read wire diagrams and skematics.

[beatsiz]

How about... NO?

[xxtiggerandpoohxx]

I love your sequenced sound..... I have just ordered a midi-in kit to add to my prodigy and hope it will sound as good as yours. I may post a vid of my instalation..

[airmiami]

I need expert advice please! I'm looking for a cheap-ish keyboard (something like the MicroKorg price range) that would give me this kind of fat bass, moog-ish sound... Can anyone suggest anything? Ideally something I could use with Ableton Live, and as a regular keyboard for gigs. Help!

[dante666diaz]

There is nothing cheap that will give you a fat bass. Just get a midi keyboard.

[InstrumentalMania]

the yamaha mm6 has some analog capability as a keyboard workstation but also has a lot of other good sounds for a bit more than the microkorg...600 bucks new but you can likely find one used for cheaper

[lordoid]

Well...a microkorg is a good start and can give you phat basses. Of course the overall sound is different. A moog is a moog. But a "moogish" sounding real analogue synth is the MFB - Synth II. And it's real cheap. Also a used Waldorf - Pulse is a good source for phat sound.

[PintoSparksIII]

if your computer is good get a soft synth and take ableton out with you for live. otherwise just get the microkorg!

[RyanD077]

If you're looking for a great synthesizer with the best bang for its buck I highly recommend the microKorg! Your decision should also depend on the type of music you intend on playing.

[anoteoftruth]

your not gonna get a moogish sound/all in one keyboard for the price of a microkorg.. a lot of synths try to emulate the moogs fat bass, but nothing comes close. Once you play a Moog, you'll see the difference.. if you want moog sound, you need to buy a moog. And moog's are not all in one keyboards. The Little Phatty does have midi and USB so you could use the keyboard as a controller to play other synths/software synths that have polyphony. Work fine with Ableton. LP all the way.

[ryguy86]

Alesis Micron is much better in terms of quality construction, so it'll last through gigs. awesome sounds (works with Ion sounds too). get a Micron, you wont regret it. used to have one, and i loved it.

[therealrosskelly]

I think that if you want the Moog sound, you cant beat the real thing. . If I was going to spend money on something new and wanted the Moog sound, I would start saving and get a Little Phatty. It might take you some tome to get the funds together, but you will not be happy with the Microkorg.Also, I would second the suggestion of the Waldorf Pulse, but its not from experience that Moog like. The filter and envelopes just to not hold up in comparison, although they are good, just not that moog.

[unferoathlover]

i own a Mogg Mg1. its lovely. just gotta know how to work it. and i use a Microkorg. I can do a lot with then. I also use a Roland x6. That thing isnt as user friendly as u think... anyways. Ur right. U cant find "the" moog sound on any other synth. Moog is unbeatable for what it does.

[Jakerpoo]

alesis micron

[mrbusters]

Alesis Micron

[fleskebille]

Don't listen to the Micron suggestions. At least listen to it first. I had it and hated it. Irritating sound. Want a cheap soft synth that sounds quite analog? Try KikAXXE, it's monophonic, eats CPU, only has one oscillator and ADSR, but it sounds great. A tip if you try it: use an EQ to remove 10200Hz (resonance spike).

If you have an audio card compatible with expert sleepers silent way, you can make use of a very basic modular.

[ilikeyouallot]

what a girl friend!!! you can spend hours with it.

[StemoGamer]

Sounds awesome, can you point me to some music or artists that sound like this? :)

[sptheraver]

The Prodigy :)

And also Depeche Mode, Fatboy Slim or Astral Projection.

[ricer179]

joy electric as well

[ricer179]

and kraftwerk

[computron808]

If u like that aciddy bass..Check out Aux 88,sem,freak a zoids-soul oddity..So many more that I can`t think of...

[thirdfloorview]

How can I tell if my Prodigy has the CV Gate Inputs?? I'm pretty sure I have the later model, my serial number is in the 9,000's. And it was made in America, not imported.

[retrosound72]

early model: only audio out

later model : CV/Trig In and Out (S-Trigger), OSC IN, VCF IN, SYNC IN

[HuckleberrySlim]

you synthesizer aficianados are quite the eccentreic bunch arent you? jk nothing wrong with it, two awesome entities: synthesizers and eccentric people. :)

[mesmoland]

I think in the early 80's Tandy did a synth that had the same filter layout as this.

[xnonsuchx]

I think you're remembering the Concertmate MG-1 that Moog made for Radio Shack, which was more like a Moog Liberation in a Moog Rogue case. I know, I had a Prodigy and later an MG-1...and wish I'd kept the Prodigy.

[mesmoland]

yes ! I just looked it up...ah the memories.I must be getting old.

[DaikyDotBe]

I don't know what you did at 1:53, but from then it sounded much better :)

[csantos1964]

METALBAR!!! METALBAR!!! LOL

Well spoted.

[schmutzgreiffer]

Many thanks for that, I was going to see my analyst for antipsychotics, but it is there then, is it?

Thanks good buddy

[schmutzgreiffer]

Is this piece called "metalbar"? I can hear the it quite clearly. "metalbarmetalbarmetalbar.." Anyone else hear it?

[ibcnunabit]

Hell yeah! You're absolutely right! : )

[576557]

retro

so how do you get the sequencer apart from the 606 to work, what do i need to do what you are doing here /

does it have the cv/ gate to trigger that will work with the 606

[retrosound72]

The Prodigy is triggered by my SCI Pro-One arpeggiator and internal sequencer via CV/Gate.

You need the later Prodigy model with CV/Gate Inputs.

Roland TR-606 Trigger Out-->ProOne Clock In --> ProOne CV/gate Out --> Prodigy CV/gate In

[deizi1]

depeche mode

[jonperry]

Oh my god 1:53

[supercodders]

my school have a prodigy.. somehow, noone cares about it so i just use it, its fun

[LF0]

ask if you can have it, seriously I did that with a micromoog, they said yeah, knowone uses it

[supercodders]

it is basically mine though 'cause i only live across the road from school and i just use it in the studio there.

[Chumleh]

Lucky bastard... there's a hip-hop department at my school, and one of them just got into analogue (or analogue sounding) synths, and keeps trying to nab my Xiosynth...

[Madnessnunky]

magical

[rtsinister]

I've had 2 SCI Pro-One's. I used to sync it up to a Drumulator. This video reminds me exactly of what it sounded like- Bythe way, there's a Prodigy in my new video...Synthetamine

[akattack]

I wish my Prodigy sounded like that :P

[Algonquin]

Very cool video's! I don't see too many of the prodigy's around anymore... just curious what these are going for these days.

Cheers

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[steuieee]

What did you use to sequence? I have a Moog Prodigy and I know for a fact that it doesn't do that at all unless acted upon by an outside force.

[retrosound72]

I use the SCI Pro-One internal sequencer with CV/Gate

[systemlfo]

The analogs in my set up are an A6 & a Juno 106. I was wondering if u have to manually tune these pre DCO synths every 5 mins ?

[retrosound72]

10 min warm up - than tuning and go

[DX5]

Jealous of your synths :)

Great work as always!!

[retrosound72]

Thanks :-)

[williamc99]

nice work.
