Moot Booxlé's first Synthesizers.com movie

[jls6318]

Really love your synth... amazing! If you plug a cord into every jack does RON PAUL stop sucking tranny cocks???

[CeruttiTroutman]

I can watch this Video 1000 Times and it doesnt get boring.

Great Job Moot !

[JohnMichaelC64]

you should make a video of the people in the housees faces when u go in your room lock your door and hear that ahhaha

[paperpichu]

I'm thinking of buying one. Does it support pressure sensitivity?

[nugrohowidi2001]

7.40 and so on is good alien space sounds used in games and movies

[fystasjoppheng]

Thanks Mootbooxle! This is the video who brought(bought...)

me in to modular synthesizers!

The patch at 03:19 sounds like a basic configuration, but I cant seem to find it exactly on my system(similar as yours), do you remember the patch here?

[SynthPlaysYou]

Nice demo. How to connect a modular to a mixer?

[mootbooxle]

@SynthPlaysYou you just plug a regular 1/4" cable from the output of your final VCA in the chain to an input on the mixer. Simple!

[SynthPlaysYou]

@mootbooxle Yeah thanks a lot!

[StevieArt]

the real deal

[dvamateur]

Where did you get the CP-251 with red input nuts? The new black and white scheme looks bland...

[mootbooxle]

@dvamateur Yeah, I agree! Wonder why they changed the color scheme? This is just one of the older ones. I got it in 2005, but it was used.

[AnalogDecay420]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL RIG !!!!!

It moves me deeply, how long did this rig take you to collect and figure out?

I really love the roland sound, very distinct..this one sounds brassier and much richer than a juno 60, I'm loving this~

what she worth?

[mootbooxle]

@AnalogDecay420 Thank you kindly! I started building my synth in 2003, but only could afford a couple of modules. It wasn't until 2005, after college, when I got a job that allowed me to finish building it. As it was in this video - I had about $2200 in it total. I've added several pieces since then.

The only Roland gear here is the Space Echo tape delay - no actual Roland synths. One of my fav synths is my old Roland SH-3 though!

[blusismylife]

5:08 many farts

[SophomoricHumor]

what is a mootbooxle? i have always wondered...

[emmazeen]

boring

[meanberganimation]

thumbs up this if you wanted moar 4chan.

[MrWant2Know]

So how did you find this thing?

[skoncic]

Is your controller conected with MIDI or audio. Is it possible to conect it with audio?

[mootbooxle]

@skoncic well, it's MIDI in this case; it's going through a MIDI-to-CV (control voltage) converter. You can connect any device that outputs pitch control voltage to this synth. I really wish I had a Minimoog or something that had CV outputs on it - CV control IS better than MIDI control. There is a noticeable difference in the "feel".

[TheScaltek]

EXTRA **************

[samueladams7]

No offense here (and while I DO appreciate all the cool modular gear you have) BUT you can't you get the same results from a Mini-Moog?

[mootbooxle]

@samueladams7 well, pretty much. For the most part. There are some things this, even in the state it was here, can do that a Mini can't do. Sometimes I wish I had a Minimoog (original Model D, old oscillator board) instead of this modular synth. It's still my dream synth. The modular is more flexible though.

[RealONeal]

insane.

[plasmaforce11]

Monster synth :P

[shittyshit69]

dang, herbie!

[luthmhor]

Man that thing just looks so badass!

[puppypower84]

this is the operator....how may i direct your call please....lol

[bill4rilvegas]

omg thats fuckin sick whats that shit called so i can go buy some i make music my self and i make my own beats and the programs i have im just about useing all the sounds it has and im allways lookin for more sounds and by the looks of wut your doin ur making your own sounds with your set up

[gangsta40fo]

Read the video description you fool.

[Otkaelfe]

tried to reach you on your email didnt work ? need to ask some questions !

[xaviermoyssen]

is your camera that shitty or is this THAT OLD?? I mean moot i love your videos but come on guys other videos were better looking.......

[soulforged789]

makes it look retro, i like the effect.

[09fod]

@xaviermoyssen you are shitty

[xaviermoyssen]

@09fodoh how fuckin mature

[khyropia]

at 7:11 it gets really spacey and bad ass.

[sacredgeometry]

nice space echo hows the tape holding up?

[mootbooxle]

actually, my capstan is getting a little big squirrely...I need to get it fixed. It's fun for a while, but then the tape starts "binding"...sometimes the motor will give up and disengage at that point. Weird stuff. Know any good Space Echo techs?

[sacredgeometry]

not in the states sorry :( thats sad to hear, they are all dying around us :( does it make any interesting sounds when its conking out?

[75tm400]

Could you post a youtube video doing the synthesizer part of Emerson Lake & Palmer (LUCKY MAN).

[Nepokadnezar]

hi totallywasted!

perhaps it could be manfred mann's earth band (solar fire)?

[muzzleray]

Absolutely awesome.

[birbabirbabirba]

i'm impressend by the way you make that dotcom system sound moogish and old school... i can't achieve that results with mine, great job, man!

[UnpopularPoppy]

at 3:00 that synth sounds STELLAR!!!!!!!!

[iamtotallywasted]

5:23 can anyone help tell me a song that sounds like this. i cant remember its fucking killing me

[bramtheham]

I think its: Perfect (Exceeder) by Mason & Princess Superstar.

Its got that same synth sound in it. Look it up on iTunes and let me know if I'm right!

[djbistronica]

perfect exceeder is a preset on the ,senealth1,

dont know how the correceted spelling of the snyth name ....but i think thats were they got the sound from not a hundred percent sure , but it makes sense

[grofuss]

I know I heard it on a Ministry of Sound album... maybe 2007, the lyrics are like, "...you think you got it all worked out, but you don't know nothing, nothing.."  Sorry I will find it, I know exactly how it sounds haha.

[iamtotallywasted]

thats fucking it

[SirDJMuziek]

Yeah, I've been trying to figure that one out myself.

[loombaron]

you have to plug wires in order to activate the parameters? damn

[lukedwyer84]

damn and i thought i was cool with my microkorg!

[iRuinedMyGuitar]

so many buttons...

so many wires...

[MageAtYou]

wow it must be very fun to be you.

[dimebucker2]

You are rich.

[mootbooxle]

@dimebucker2 Nope. Far from it. I just saved my money from each paycheck, and built this a piece at a time. I have about $3k in it total, but that was over the course of years.

[El3mentsk8r95]

damn how do you know where ta put all those wires O.o

[siovan7]

It look's like a lost pink floyd movie man,

but it's pretty cool, im a musician my self

so, this is rad stuff.

Take care Moot..!

[PauloNideck]

That's one crazy dude

[mecantname]

lol i have been wondering this for a long time....why dus it look like all your vid were mad like in the 70's lol

[mootbooxle]

LOL! Because they were! I live in the 70's man!

Actually a couple of reasons. One, it's usually old-school gear, played in kind of an old-school way. Also, I usually tint my stuff and use film effects to give it a little more graininess, kinda like Super-8 or 16mm film.

[unluckylizzy]

love to know the physics behind this

[thehottestguyinskool]

that thign must be a bitch to set up

[Sebass95]

Still, it's worth it!

[owlofwarwick]

oooh space echo

[basjar2]

Wow! You could make a soundtrack to a whole movie with that stuff! Well, maybe a 60's science-fiction, but still ;) Blows my mind! Kudos

[Yunneck]

is LFO BPM'able?

[mootbooxle]

Yes it is - you do that by using a Q118 instrument interface - send a pulse from your seq/computer/whatever - like 8th notes or 16th notes, send the trigger out of the Q118 to your oscillator.

Not super straightforward, but hey, it's analog!

[Yunneck]

Thanks for the info. I'm afraid i cant afford it anyway :( for now i must work on software (midi controlled from outside) + dx21.

Your synth sounds great with gliss. It's always sounds great ;]

[xxfroobxx]

u see he's just pluggin the wires randomly

[anarchyinoz]

you are a dick..... he knows what he is doing and where to put them.

[xxfroobxx]

dude it was ment to make people just think of him pluggin the wires randomnly :P i wasn't sayin the the guy who helped me do a homemade talk box that he wasn't ablle to plug his own synth

[Elraton360]

dam man nice synth nice synth !!

[luisagarcia1991]

need to upgrade

[Ameliashmelia]

I am impressed by how fast you are. You know where to reach at the right moment ..... it is easy on small all in ones but modulars can get very complex.

SynthKudos to you :-)

I use a RE101 as well- i found an EH holy grail before it adds "atmosphere" to the sound.

-R-

[mootbooxle]

Hey ! Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, I could see how putting a nice 'verb like the EH first would sound nice - more like a RE-201, which has the spring on it.

[katzenrubbl0r]

This. Thing. Looks. Fucking. Awesome.

[hombreconaretes]

mi Dios.

qué pesadilla, Prefiero mi guitarra.

Adios amigo.

[thekayebeast1]

wow!Why is talent SO sexy?!?!?

[montana7890]

shit hot

[sabbath994]

i want your space echo

[tylervanbach]

haha, that is the first thing I noticed.

[sabbath994]

it takes up a quarter of the screen lol

[mootbooxle]

@sabbath994 :D I wanted an Echoplex, but got a Space Echo instead...it was way cheaper!

[thrcman]

@sabbath994 No, you want my RE-201 space echo.:)

[Daftlife909]

Man those cable settings for a synth are so crazeh!! but soo kewlies! *-*

[fooloof]

This is in the key of E minor, and that's all I have to say about it.

[Ancaja123]

best comment ever

[polyspherite1450]

This is by far the best vid ever

[RAPCAT60]

These things cost an arm and a leg...yet the portable systems are cheaper than a Moog Voyager or an Access Virus TI....very strange....

[gproper]

OMG !!

[ArmandKarlsen]

Sounds kinda like Zorch in places... favourited!

Only wish I had time to learn stuff like this; sounds so cool.

[steamrocks]

Dude, thhose look a bit like PAIA modules, aer they? I use some of heir hardware kits in my emulation of a theater pipe organ. Good equipment, and I might add, surperb use of it.

[frazter1]

dont realy get this... to random for me :(

i would prefer it if u had a drum beat underneath it to make it sound more precise and rythmic

[fizzydiodes]

the randomness is the whole idea - you know beats are really yesterdays fashion mate - dead scene , add beats - add rigidity - safety - you liek your music safe mate but why does that mean this 'isnt right ' - you dont like it - big deal; - thats 1 little humans opinion as is mine - just comment on what you like i say . . . .what is one mans opnion ? love this video - its unique - beats ? the death of free music.

[frazter1]

i said (I) dont realy like this. to random for (ME).(i would prefer....

please dont argue my right to give my opinion and i dont like the fact that u had to use up yout time to pick holes in my opinion. i wont bother to do the same to your opinion. i just guese im nice that way.

[tealord]

damn that's cool.

[ZiggybabyZ]

looks like brain surgery but.... 10 thumbs up in the air

[vulvalove]

my ears feel so gooooood

[eyethesuicide]

That equipment has such pure sounds

[reetthen]

Can't have too much gear when you've got that kind of talent. Won't be long before we see big sponsorship. "Hi I'm Mootbooxle and I'm just mad about this new....(insert brand). Good luck!

[cybercow222]

i love that urban/house tone starting at 4:00 it`s magnific

[coolcolbass]

for sure i dig that

[PinoCarella]

Si può sapere chi è la casa costruttrice di questo strumento? dove lo si può reperire?

grazie

[Anipleex]

fucking cool :D i love these sounds

[colin5765]

it used to be like this in the 70,s , its like going back in time, keep it up , sounds great.

[killanator21]

ya, analog is becoming very sought after in this digital age, its amazing

[7356205]

fuck dude...you have everything!!! you are damn rich???

[mootbooxle]

Far from it actually! I'm just good at finding good deals, and saving up for what I really want. I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to buy anymore cheapo gear that don't last...I'd rather work more, save my money, and get good stuff. It's worth it in the long run!

But seriously, I work a lot of hours and play a lot of gigs to afford my studio, and I think it's totally worth it, because this is my passion!

[7356205]

right on dude thats the way.

[Huitzel]

You sir, are my hero.

[theboner123]

who me

[oznog123]

I used to love knobbing around. you can't do that on the modern gear.

[diegosanchezrulz]

ok who sat here the whole ten minutes :P

[willywonka091]

not i.

it was cool.. but not THAT cool..

[haloModder07]

intro song is awsome

[BMXfreak000]

thats like $1000 worth of patch cords lmao.

sooooo sick.

[Monolaend]

I love the sound of your modules ;)thanks for the great sounds ;)

[theboner123]

how do you connect and make the big ones work bceause i found one in a alley and it coves half my room and i cant make it work

[civic96ex]

perhaps it was in the alley, because it doesnt work?

[chazum0]

really? i can help you alot. get back to me please!

[shitfacecockmaster78]

ur awesome at synths

[njdevil1313]

are you the organ player at the Elsinore brewery?

[markcatarina]

strange brew?

[UssenterprizeDv2]

Those synthesizers take the posibilities of keyboard music to infinity and beyond.

[spellwork]

all i can say Moot is that you are purely amazing! how u can know were everything goes and just....how u can imporovise and...wow, were born directly from god or what?!

[Ottomcr]

i thought it was the doom theme for the first few seconds

[Shambone7]

MOOT BOOXLE!!!

[zion1540]

souds like castlevania

[ms2000guy]

that's cool. I wish somebody would make a video showing the wave shape on the spectroscope? (forgot the name of that device) and let us hear the sound at the same time. That would be interesting for me at least :)

[ms2000guy]

oscilloscope? lol..

[thedivinechemical]

People who use modulars to make standard synths sounds make me a sad panda. Any of these sounds can be made on a Moog, Prophet 5, Andromeda, etc. Use the modular for what it's good at: bizarre textures that are impossible on any other kind of synth.

[fystasjoppheng]

I think its a place for both kind of sounds: The standard synth+the bizarre texture.

Dont be sad.

[thedivinechemical]

Still think it's a waste of a good synthesizer.

[Gtechture]

Its really all about the tactile experience. Its very physical, you are making connections with patch cables, turning knobs and dealing with voltage. Today, synthesizer have reached the point where you can emulate just about anything. The modulation matrix and parameters on a micron are complicated enough to replicate anything a modular can do.

[Gtechture]

But somthing about the digital interface is cold and seems unimpressive. When you deal with a modular you feel how the sound is created because you have physically modified the synthsizer and its signal path.

[thedivinechemical]

Well I can tell you what's wrong with a Micron's interface right off the bat:  one knob. I had one and after realizing it was taking me three hours to make one patch, I sold it and saved up for an Ion. But even then, it's a fun synth, but it's no modular. Like you said, it's a much more hands on interface (and better sound, might I add.)

[thedivinechemical]

I bought a modular for myself though because it can do things that that 'synths-in-a-box' aren't capable of. It's a very time-consuming process that I don't want rewarded with a sound I can pull out of any other synth in my collection. What's the point in spending thousands on Dot Com, Blacet, Livewire, Wiard, and Serge modules if you're just going to use it as an Xpander clone?

[lazychump]

i know NOTHING about synths, but i've been browsing a few movies recently....and these modulars looks like so much fun.

just a sandbox of sound.

[seifukusha]

thats so sexy my head just imploded....

[fystasjoppheng]

[sirplowness]

YEAAAAAHHH MOOOOOOOT

[snufflerstormpig]

I appreciate the close ups to show us what modules and settings you are tweaking.

[bezoune]

he got the keyboard........is it a midi ?

and for the big thing with button.....how you call that?

[raven012000]

I believe it's a MIDI controller. There is a module that can be installed on this synth for the MIDI, but I don't know if this is the case here... I hadn't looked that closely at the rig. As for the thing with the big button? ???

[EldKatt]

The keyboard is an M-Audio Radium MIDI controller. The Q104 module is a MIDI to CV interface, and I assume that's what he's using.

[fracktails]

Someone know how much cost this set up..?? excuse my ingles, :)

[raven012000]

It depends on what modules you want in the configuration. A good config will run anywhere from $1500+. You can go to synthesizers com and download a synth builder program that will give you a more ballpark figure, as well as letting you configure your own cabinets.

[fracktails]

thanks men.. I will check that page..

[RealityChequed]

You make experimenting into a song!

[granastra]

bellissimo strumento il synth

[Vidude12]

Are synthesizers the instruments they use in songs such as Makes me Wonder by Maroon 5 and You Dropped a Bomb on me that give the songs that 80's feel and like electric spikes?

[atlanticus]

can you recreate this with softsynthesizers today? just curious..

[7FP3]

Yeah, a lot with virtual synth. Their sound are quite good, but not warm as a real analog one do. As example, search on Google for Korg Legacy Collection. You'll find the Korg MS-20 virtual analog synth. Also, have a look for Propeller Head Reason, it's a virtual studio and sequencer with a stack of synth and effect processor, all with plugable patch cables.

[atlanticus]

Softsynths are "not warm as a real analog one do", so you are saying that these "machines" still produce better sound? interesting..

[7FP3]

I'm not saying that... Read me properly, I wrote that softsynth sound are quite good but they aren't warm as real ANALOG one do.

[fystasjoppheng]

No. I have tried both and its two different worlds imo.

[andybee143]

exellent .. i just love synths , old and new :-)

[ZerakeCss94]

U have the SAME midipiano than what i have!! coooll !

:P M-audio radiuim61

[greenboy256]

that looks hundreds of times more complicated than the back of my tv when i had 23 game consoles hooked up to it.

[mootbooxle]

Even Colecovision?

[greenboy256]

No i've been trying to get one though.

[markcatarina]

atari 2600?

[TERRANCIO]

lol @ greenboy256

[klausito1970]

Super!

[dostum82]

bak bir de şunu dinle: (search please) ergün altun tıklamadan geçme

[dostum82]

sabahtan beri neyi arıyon bilmiyomki. 10 dakikadır elleye elleye bi şeyi bulamadın. la elleme şuraları çek elini ordan patlar matlar başımıza iş açarsın. sen daha oralara çooooooook fiş sokup çıkarırsın. ama az bişi ilerleme var ben sen de bu yeteneği farkettim.

[dudleythemoose]

so many knobs...

[holman26]

mr moot you did it agian SIR awesome great vid agian please keep em comming

[destept]

Excellent demo!. How can the envelope work without an inputsignal? From what I can see you only use the output to amplifier and filter.

[Jrayk1]

Very cool. What exactly does the CP-251 do?

[idiotbreaker11]

omg i love the stuff at the end....can i get sounds like that if i buy the portable model 22? i am thinking about it. i want a space echo too....totally cool.

of course it is the feel of the thing, and the hands on approach which make it irresistable. so much cooler then computer screens.

[mootbooxle]

Hey...thanks! Yes, this synth is a similar configuration to the 22-space (portable and studio) that dotcom sells, but to get that sound like the end bit you will need to make sure to include a Sample-and-Hold module. I'm doing that from the Moogerfooger. Cheers, MB

[tonijn1969]

Ryuichi Sakamoto??,is a actor,olz strange english with dutch mixed
