This is simply AMAZING !!! 5***** : )

Looks like you are inside of a monster's belly. Thanks for sharing

As a 35+ year TD fanatic, I never dreamed someone could "outdream" Tangerine Dream. You did just that--uber-KUDOS!!!

[electro257]

trouble with the non 'funky' electicity supplies s that general users cant afford it, seperate phase and supply is expensive in a domestic situation... ive been using surge and filtered rack mounted supplies and still get issues going thru the mains, plays havoc with VCOs' tunning....

[raptor13fox]

i like the video but i love the song has a techno-like touch to it. i think you should expand into that realm alittle and see what you can come up with. you might be surprised

[pmgodfrey]

Have you ever noticed problems with temperature drift or drift due to drop outs in your main power input?

This unit sure beats any of the 30 synths I have...

[morbius001]

@pmgodfrey Today's modular synths are completely stable. Oscillators and sequencers holding for 'WEEKS', if not longer. A/C power issues can affect ANY gear... non-stable and 'trashy' A/C is an issue with many 'pro studios', by using "tech power". Separate from standard A/C outlets, it's precisely kept at the proper level, and filtered. Funky A/C is an issue that many people fail to consider.

[morbius001]

(continued).... My guess is that you're thinking of the old Moog Modulars, of the 60's & 70's. They WERE notoriously unstable, and many wouldn't 'hold' their tuning beyond 10-minutes... (a major issue for studios that frequently overdub synth parts, because of several factors). But Moog's oscillator stability problems actually were just one symptom of a larger problem... that they were all 'hand-build'... often with varying parts, and assembly techniques. No two were exactly the same.

[morbius001]

(continued, some mo) .... I actually spoke with Bob Moog at length about this, back at the first MoogFest. He told me some (I guess) 'confidential', 'insider' stuff... telling me that frequently, specified electronic parts were substituted with whatever was available (and sometimes, cheapest). He said that usually, these 'substitutions' probably shouldn't make 'that much difference'. In his next breath, saying "but I'm not a musician, and often, I can't appreciate many of the same issues".

[morbius001]

(yeah... continued, some mo, again)... and that's nothing against Bob, but rather of the era, and the technology & electronics of that time. If you've ever looked in the back of a Moog modular... they often look like a prime example of "perfect, random order" on acid... with many of the same modules within ONE system, having completely different parts, and sometimes, wiring equal to what you'd expect from monkeys.

But this isn't a 'Moog-bash'. I loved Moogs... 'cept for the instability issues.

[morbius001]

(last one... I swear) .... Often, people search eBay... looking for 'refurbished', or just old Moogs, intending to refurbish. I understand 'wanting' a piece of history... but, unless you're wealthy... as a matter of 'smarts', I would NOT recommend that... and people I know, have done it, and regretted doing so... selling them with a broken heart.

Simply put- it's much more 'cost effective' to simply buy a NEW modular. The technology is WAY better (as well as design), and you'll be WAY ahead!

huge thing ))) good sound

[TheDISENCHANTMENT]

There were some very interesting computer sounds and it was insightful, but it seems a little repetitive

[morbius001]

That's funny. Nothing there was generated by computers... nor is anything in the category of 'computer sounds'. The "insight" is only in showing what kinds of things are possible with this model of sequencer... a 'stepping sequencer', which by definition, IS repetitive.

That's got to be the funniest comment, yet... but thanx.

[albedoshader]

Well, I do understand what The DISENCHANTMENT means with "computer sounds". We all know that the first sounds computers could produce were beeps or simple analog sounds, like the Commodore C64, for example.

And the comment on the repetitiveness is also OK because it can be annoying sometimes.

No, I'm not a Synth-hater - quite the opposite. I wish I had one of those.

But patronizing isn't always an appropriate way to answer. ;)

Great demonstration of this beautiful machine, by the way!

[morbius001]

@albedoshader Well... about "repetitiveness"... surely, everyone's musical 'likes' vary (and that's as it should be)... but if I were to attempt to list all of the songs/music (even just 'popular music') which are based on (often very simple) repeating bass-lines/themes, with the melody/leads built around that... I'm not sure I could do it (or would want to do it (unpaid)). The first that pops into my mind... "Louie, Louie" back in the mid 60's. In fact, many or most are composed likewise.

[albedoshader]

@morbius001: Hey, I wasn't critisizing your style. Repetitiveness is an element that's essential to popular music. In my case it's a matter of peronal mood if I'm ready to listen to sequenced music or not. I even like Arvo Pärt very much, whose music contains very few variation (but in a more "medieval" style of composing), it's all a matter of taste of the listener and talent of the composer. Repetition can be annoying or inspiring, depending on how the "theme" is varied.

[neonelectro]

@TheDISENCHANTMENT . This could not be done by computer. Some may try, and fail. As for repetitive, I love that. Some of the greatest electronic works by the likes of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze such as Rubycon and Dune could be classed as repetitive, I call it hypnotic and magical. The evolving sound sweeps you away.

[ionman87]

sooo woooonderful...and soooo expensive :(

anyway very nice improv...back to classics ;) modular systems rule!

[antardaniele]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[timmie124]

back when it took skill to make music

[affe110]

Hands down to you!

[kamitnick]

This is very cool..... congratulations....

[donniemartin]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup­erb

[shagghie]

Aw man i kept waiting for you to tweak the VZOs a little bit. It made for a nice sounding OSC the whole time though!

[SpringDivers]

Old school synth at its best. Synergy, Larry Fast etc. comes mind. I love it. Thanks

[MasterPerotinus]

Fantastic. Giant modular synthesizers are such a wild spectacle.

[Gabrioche]

Excellent!! 

Really sounds like some Tangerine Dream stuff!

I'll definitively start my own modular set one of these days

[Zingrad]

Amazing

[nagchumpalot]

over and over and over....

[binarybox2003]

Gr8 stuff...tnx

[ZootTron]

that.  Is. Brilliant. F'ing pro.

Brilliant! In my earlier list I forgot to include Tonto's Expanding Headband and the brilliant track, JETSEX...I assume you have heard of the late Michael Garrison and his early brilliant albums, Prisms, Eclipse and In the regions of sun return.

[flyboy333]

I don't quite understand it, but it sure does sound cool.

[Stuadh]

I've been listening to this and Siliconsequences non-stop for a few weeks now and it has inspired me to build my own sequencer for my modular synth. Please, please, please post more. You music is brilliant!

Yours Aye

[donniemartin]

all Hail the God fantastic all the best Donnie:-)

[donniemartin]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuperb!

[jjuup]

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this. Please post more!

[rtermini]

WONDERFUL!

[Negativegene]

Love it. More.

[motavis]

you need another blue cord :c)

[adewolf]

That is one huge machine. Great stuff.

[johnpmahoney]

I'd just like to clarify: I'm not dissing this video. I like the sequence and the sounds, and I'm happy that Morby posted it. I just don't think it's "amazing." (I mean, I'm sure that Morbius is capable of truly amazing us with his 960 skills.)

Thanks for the clarification on the ZOs. They appeared to be patched in, that's why I naturally wondered why I wasn't hearing them.

So... Thanks, Morby, for a nice job! Sorry if I made the wrong impression.

[VingDragon]

big bow to Morbius !!!

[matrixsynth]

Absolutely awesome. I put it up on Matrixsynth for others to check out. BTW, I previously posted your other videos as well.

cheers,

matrix

[johnpmahoney]

> you amaze us with your sequencer skills

Oh yeah, the ability to keep one sequence going for over 6 minutes with hardly any changes is totally MIND BOGGLING!!!

Jeezus... It was good, yes. Amazing? Not even close, sorry. And the ZO sounded like a plain old osc.

I must be really jaded.

[morbius001]

Actually... this video was about the third attempt. The problem was that You-Tube has a 10 minute limit... and the first two were well over that.... one was 16 minutes, and the next was 11-something.

The ZO's weren't part of the audio... so- you were hearing 'plain ol' oscillators' (Q106's).

[mootbooxle]

Once again, Morbius, you amaze us with your sequencer skills. I was glued to my computer screen!! Mesmerising!

[akla1971]

No dance dj can top this!!!!

a dj is nothing more than a silly record spinner

great post

keep up the good work.
