MOOG MINIMOOG - uncommon sounds | HQ DEMO

[mrslig100]

One day, ill be rich and get a minimoog.

[glimmertwin1977]

Great demo - covers a lot of sounds that most minimoog demos don't.

[Eukatheude]

Great! Does it have an input?

[sundaysample]

really enjoyed this. it inspired us to use it as a sample for a weekly remix challenge we have. i've left a vid response. it was a tough one but the tracks submitted were fresh

[Arnadath]

seems to me like fm modular synthesis with high carrier pitch, church like reverb and echo/delay

[TheGaetanomariadigio]

A curiosity: it is a second series?

[TheGaetanomariadigio]

No, i don't think to dx7!

is not possible that for a digital sinth



[ObyNineMusic]

finaly some one with good feel for sound you always see dudes using the same standard sounds over and over

[fuck4freei]

Omg 7:40, JMJ Oxygene 4

[TetsuoYagami]

Am I the only one reminded of AKIRA here?

[Eukatheude]

@TetsuoYagami You mean the film? How so?

[TetsuoYagami]

@Eukatheude Yes. And this sounds similar to the music from the film,

[Eukatheude]

@TetsuoYagami I wouldn't remember then, i've seen it maybe three years ago.

[BenjaminNicholaus]

I bet you could make that sound like an organ.

[Kormack1]

Has there ever been a better lookin synth????

[raymangold22]

@Kormack1 yeah, the Jupiter-4 ;)

[Zordo11]

one of the best demos by the way.

[Zordo11]

Im trying to decide what to buy. the voyager? or this classic.

[noizy4]

At last... someone using their imagination! The Moog, and other analog synths, have far more use than a few sonic farts, from someone who just jumped on the analog bandwagon!

[nocterbalbulus]

Really great sounds...Is it done with analogue reverberations?

[keyboardjeff]

I really love the sound! You should make other demos like this of other synth's.

[mbgames73]

The gears nice if you can afford it on a champagne budget but on my lemonade budget, I can get the same sounds with the soft synth Sylenth 1 (£120) and a digital delay pedal (£30) and a lot of experimenting.

[badboyrhythmdub]

5:36 Chemical Brothers. Out Of Control.

[mrsunshain]

It's amazing man, best Moog demo of showing the amazing possibilities and sounds that can fit in modern music too!!!

[Majhnavea0]

This is really amazing. Thanks for the demo... I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

[wandov8]

Unbelievable... it's hard to believe. Trust me!

[chrstman]

It would be better to hear it dry. The effects processing gives it the cleaner crisper digital sound, but still an interesting and cool video demo.

[tapundinmak]

i love this madafucker

[ZwamTek]

im kind of diapointed about the NEW synths, they should produce the old blueprint of the voice chips again, and filter components, and then make the same synth with new possibilitys:3

[Babyblue57]

How you do those sounds? Can you explain a bit further?

[AnalogAudio1]

@Babyblue57 I can't explain exactly how I did it... All I can say is, spend some time with your Minimoog and experiment!

[TheDreamClaw]

@AnalogAudio1 Could I just ask....Are they expensive to buy?

[AnalogAudio1]

@TheDreamClaw they are not cheap today...

[fooloof]

anyway you'd be willing to post a patch?

i am shocked that this is a Mini.

[ElasticMinds]

The Roland DEP 5 will essentially make anything sound digital, no matter how analog it is :c).Great demo btw. There was a contest on Gearslutz along time ago saying "lets hear someone make a minimoog not sound like a minimoog". You sir would have won it.

[tuteh486]

lucky bastard

[cannabudsguru]

its amazing that the first portable synth ever,still is relevant and has amazing sounds that no other synth could achieve

thank you Bob!

[syzygywell]

Wish I could see the settings in your video better I'd love to recreate the patch at 3:05

[ohesmusic]

The coolest demo and the coolest sounds of the moog that i heard on youtube! thanks man!

[HTPtheFirst]

I really like your music!

[dannon2010]

very nice.

[mattrehmhext]

Excellent sounds

[M0SSl]

Like it. Im tired of saw and fat cool sound

[mrbigmouth502]

This is an amazing demo! I had no idea that the Minimoog was capable of such awesome sounds!

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

"abstract"

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

fantastic demo! dwelling in the abstact!

[Elotium]

i can't believe some of these sounds! this is the best mini demo i've ever seen! makes me wish i had a time machine, i'll never have enough to afford one of these today. nice work though this is truly beautiful. GO ANALOGUE!!

[lobit12]

what serial number is you're synth?

[AnalogAudio1]

@lobit12 It's 12***, a newer model from 1979.

[odorifero]

the coolest minimoog demo!

[AnalogAudio1]

@odorifero thank you :-)

[ZAAL58]

Beautiful sounds! Thanks for sharing bro.

[illDiology]

Isn't using an oscillator as an LFO on another oscillator basically the same thing as frequency modulation? I guess with something like a DX7 you get all those cool algorithms and many operators, but you lose the analog signal path and are stuck using only a sampled digital sine wave.

[Farout397]

2:09 amazing!

[henrikstolpe]

Very nice!

Check out this also!,More FM Sounds from the MINI!

[remusjacobs]

how do you record something like this into pro tools without midi???

[suicideposter]

Synthesizer + reverb = most disturbing sounds ever. I like.

[psycmx]

uncommon sounds ?

[chairdude1]

Dude sounds like every prog group in the 70's,and Cosmos,love it.

[mtsn]

at 2:13 it sounds really amazing

[1aerjen1]

Can can can I have that.

I want that for years on Christmas.

NICE

[socalltd]

sounds kinda tangerine dream like(the middle) the bell sounds, i think walter carlos used on the early albums and at 7:08, the dot/ wind sounds, kieth emerson used on "pictures". but this is uncommon use of the hidden sounds

[RJADVids]

Nice to see a demo by someone who can coax some really good sounds out of their equipment (unlike lots of other YouTube vids!)

[MacXpert74]

Great sounds! It's always nice to see someone on Youtube who actually knows how to play a classic synth and create cool sounds with it.

[colorform2113]

Definately some very un-minimoog sounds here. i love these old synths. I have a micromoog, and as simple as it is im always finding new sounds and timbres. it never ceases to amaze me

[calyx93]

Folks often overlook the Mini as a complex sound generator beyond the bass and lead territory - probably due to a reaction to what seems to be a very basic synth. However, these have something that no VA could ever recreate - that high-end sparkle Very nice patches - the clarity of those oscillators really shows here.

[PHAEDRIDER]

holy tamales .. that is really really beautiful . .

[ivysomething]

I love this video. I actually had a dream about my old minimoog last night, and woke up sad without it. This made me happy again :)

[JohnLRice]

Excellent demo!

[seb17320]

fantastic demo ;-)

[alannein]

EXE.LLENT +10/10

[glict]

dope

[Subtronik]

Sounding good.

[jaroslorenc]

Bravo, fantastic sound!

[ossilation]

This is the best Minimoog demo

[xdeville1]

this synth have a big fat full and fantastic sound.. WOW

[8462995]

Amazing what the Minimoog can do, through out the video is totally awesome each little turn of a Filter results in Different Electric Tones and even the Video itself is like a Electick Show trip... No Wonder Gary Numan and Krafwerk Loved it so much... Perfect Pair with the Polymoog... 5/5

[18elliot18]

1:52 - 2:45 is amazing :)

[emptyspaces]

The sound reminds me of Squarepusher

[Kendalph]

Beautiful... and educational !

[Rhythmicons]

I never really would have associated those bell like sounds with a Mini except on the arturia emulators. I mean, I know this synth is capable of a lot but Uncommon Sounds indeed. Excellent video!

Eric

Rhythmicons

[AleggzzzOne]

wow.... totally amazing...

[therealKINDLE]

Oh.. It's beautiful. I dream of owning one. But it's just such alot of money for me. Maybe one day my dream will come true huh!

[trolmper]

I agree with what u say, but a voyager sounds brighter than a mini, surely they could manufacture those components today, they've got the technology, and an odyssey with memories, perfect!!! Maybe Im just old fashioned!!

[trolmper]

I think all early analogue synths like arp odyssey, minimoog, etc are flawed masterpeices, if only they had the technology to provide memory, eg presets they would have been perfect, why cant they make these synths today, we all want them!!!!!!

[AnalogAudio1]

well, there is Moog Voyager, real analog with patch memories...

But it's not possible to produce a Minimoog or an ARP Odyssey with new technology, that sounds 100% authentic. The old electronic components are obsolete and they are not produced anymore.

As a Minimoog / Odyssey owner I don't miss patch memory. It makes fun to program your sound new from scratch - or to program them from sound sheets.

[909955847736]

You got me thinking, so I was looking through old Minimoog schematics. For example, they used 741 Op Amps. You can still get those, but more modern Op Amps would sound slightly cleaner and a little less noisy when it wasn't supposed to be noisy. But all the electronic parts are still available online, almost all are still in production. And outside of economics, there is nothing stopping anyone from making a 100% AUTHENTIC Minimoog right now. Might even be cheaper than a Voyager or Little Phatty

[skyprop]

@909955847736 If you have the chance, replace all 741's!!! with newer chips. They have better rates. the first thing any refurbisher would do is replace all 741's. Unless you want to keep Original overall. but for better sounding...I would opt for chip replacemet.

[skyprop]

@AnalogAudio1 Agreed!!! As a Source owner!

[ScorchinBeats]

@trolmper then they'd have to automate every single button. that's a pain in the ass lols.

[skyprop]

@trolmper the Moog source does exactly that. But came out in 1981 or 82 when memory technology caught up and was available. The Moog Source is the Second Generation of the Minimoog. Go check some of those vids out.

[metabog]

Wow, the first bit sounded like a DX7 or something. Weird.

[dessiplaer]

very original. Iv'e never really heard sounds coming out of a minimoog like these.

[HAUSvisions]

excellent sound design

[jumpmaster98]

WOW that sounds even better than a Roland!

[madichelp0]

could you please tell us how to make these extremely cool sounds?

[AnalogAudio1]

thanks... I think, everyone, who invests some time to experiment with the Minimoog, will get these sounds... I got the weird metallic sounds with the third OSC as LFO at high frequencies...

[JohnLRice]

EXCELLENT DEMO!

[turboguy86]

Any patch sheets please? :) some great sounds!

[booksforsaleATebid]

First thing I though in the first few seconds was DX7.

Another great demonstration thanks

[daftendirekt97]

Sounds like something kraftwerk would make in the 70s

[soundmanhaven1]

reminds of krafwerk earlly work :)

[LeonardRockstein]

amazing how a couple of time effects can make such a difference

[UnchainTheNight1]

so you wouldnt recommend the dep-5 reverb?

[AnalogAudio1]

yes, the DEP-5 is great! It's my favourite 80's multi FX processor. Great delays and great reverb. I love it! It has a strong character.

[UnchainTheNight1]

thats probably what ill get once i get some proper amplification, i have my roland jx-8p plugged into my stereo atm and i dont have near enough money to buy keyboard amps... which reminds me, should i even get keybrd amps? or something else thats cheaper or better lol

[baward]

Sounds very nice, but I'd wager that the sounds are rather different (i.e. relatively thin and weedy) without the digital effects.

[AnalogAudio1]

which sounds do you mean? A ringmod sound is never as fat as a 3-oscillator lead. Every synth can produce "weedy" sounds with a single oscillator. Not every sound must sound "fat", sometimes you need "lighter" sounds. They must fit to your expectations / music, that's what really matters.

[Dovinia]

Every time I see one of your videos I realize I have to own one of these myself !

Thanks for posting this.

[ec101dm]

the minimoog keeps amazing me !

very nice demo, thank you kindly for the efforts you put into your youtube vids!!!

[armalyte]

i just cant believe that an unmodded mini is making the more clangy timbres as there is no fm facility or ring mod in a stock mini moog.

[AnalogAudio1]

there is a bit FM possible! There are switches for filter modulation and osc. modulation by the OSC 3. The OSC 3 modulates OSC 1 + OSC 2 + Filter and is playable on the keyboard (keyboard control switch on).

[RohanVidyarthi]

can this be done on the newer voyagers?

I think on those OSC3 can only modulate OSC1

[AnalogAudio1]

I'm not familiar with the Voyager, I don't know, if this is possible.

[tekkentool]

WOW. amazing tones you're getting from that model D. here i was thinking the minimoog an entirely overrated bass synth and then i saw this.

[thehitman2001uksucks]

Great patches. Not such a "one trick pony" after all, eh?

[Kernelproject]

interesting sounds. I have a Minimoog & I do'nt make these sounds.

[nilsand]

you have a lot of echo . . .

[Synthiefrau]

Hi Chriss, now you now what I mean....the Mini is the best Synth ever made...cool demo...

[PhotoAnimationGuy]

naw it ain't the best. just too limited to be the best... maybe a moog modular. or my Macbeth ;)

[douro20]

I've seen videos of a Moog Modular...they are enormous!

[magevers]

Very nice demo!

[AnalogAudio1]

thanks...

[synthpro]

I want a Minimoog model D so bad, but can't see paying $4000 for one. Great demo!

[lordkelvin1]

you should play some songs aswell. Not only do demos, but play maybe some KraftWerk aswell.

Nice synth though!

[AnalogAudio1]

I don't like Kraftwerk very much... I perform songs, but this video is a demo with some of my favourite sounds - not a performance.

[JohnLRice]

Nice demo! Like Organgrinder010 said, excellent sounds!

[AnalogAudio1]

thanks...

[Organgrinder010]

Superb timbres on this video.
