Minimoog Model D Growl - Thank You Bob Moog

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on May 23, 2012

Taming the beast. Listen with something that can handle the bass and turn it up a bit for the full effect. Lower C held. Harvestman Zorlon Canon provides CV modulation to the filter. For those new to the Minimoog, the flashing light you see come on at 1:37 indicates audio in. I'm turning the level up. I have the audio out of the Mini running into it's audio in (the audio feedback trick). Background noise is a shower running in the background, reverb, and some delay for that nice industrial feel. Cheers.

Thank you Dr. Moog.

"Live looping improv jam using analog keyboards, USB controllers, and iOS devices. iPads are running Animoog, Lemur, and SoundPrism Pro. SP Pro is triggering NI's Massive through an iConnectMIDI. A DJ TechTools MIDI Fighter 3D is controlling loopers, drums, and a monophonic synth. Its rotation is mapped to filters and vibrato. Normally my drums are played on an Akai MPD26, but wanted to get used to the MF3D for a portable live rig. An Akai APC20 and Novation Launchpad are controlling the recording and playback of loops in Ableton Live.

Happy Birthday Bob Moog, from Stevie Wonder

YouTube Published on May 23, 2012 by MoogMusicInc

"In a wonderful and impromptu honor to Bob Moog on his 78th birthday, the legend himself Stevie Wonder, sings happy birthday to Dr. Moog. Stevie makes the bday wishes extra funky with a talkbox and the instrument that inspired the immensely popular Moog Google Doodle, the Minimoog Voyager, Bob Moog's most popular analog synthesizer design.

Mr. Wonder has shared a life-long history with Moog synthesizers beginning in the early-mid 1970s when he released a series of chart topping records including "Talking Book" that made extensive use of Moog synthesizers. He is a musical genius and from everyone at Moog Music: WE LOVE YOU, STEVIE!

Raymond Scott Archives Remembers Bob Moog

"Of course Bob Moog was a brilliant engineer and circuitry expert, but he was also among the most modest and unpretentious people we've met. We're thrilled that through the efforts of his daughter, Michelle Moog-Koussa, her dad is receiving the recognition he deserves. He was also an Advisory Board member of The Raymond Scott Archives, and was always a great supporter of RS, and of all our efforts. Here are Moog's memories of his old friend and colleague"

Don't miss this one. It's a really nice look back on some of the history and influences of Bob Moog directly from the man himself. Bob Moog on seeing Raymond Scott's workplace for the first time: "So there my father and I were with our mouths hanging open! It looked like heaven to me. My father was an electrical engineer who worked for Consolidated Edison, and I was a twenty year-old electronics nerd who found himself on the track to becoming an engineer... Raymond then brought us into the big room downstairs where he had music synthesis equipment."

TiltingAtWindmills - All Yamaha CS80 Track

TiltingAtWindmills by Drooo
"This entire cue was done with only one synthesizer--an actual Yamaha CS80. All melodic and percussive sounds (even the kick) were done on a real CS. For the drum kit, the CS was sampled and loaded into Kontakt. It was multitracked to Digital Performer, and there are 47 stereo tracks in the mix.
I spent a year of on and off work restoring this infernal machine, so I thought it was time to actually write something for it. Normally, I wouldn't want to do an entire cue with just one synth, because that one instrument's character often overwhelms the mix (sort of like doing a symphony for 48 clarinets and nothing else). The CS80 is an instrument with a very broad, expressive range. There is a vague futility in doing pure synth cues these days, especially with a monster like this machine, so the proper name for this piece iof music is:

KiwiTechnics KiwiSix Upgrade for KORG Polysix In the Works

via KiwiTechnics

"In development and coming soon The KiwiSix Upgrade features:-

• A complete replacement board for the troubled Korg Polysix KLM-367 circuit board. These are usually battery damaged which can render the synth unusable.
• 1024 Tones can be stored and edited. It is also possible to temporarily edit any Tone. Tones are selected using a two button system. The first button selects the high digit (1-8) and the second button the low digit (1-8). This allows 64 tones (1-1 to 8- 8) on any bank. There are 16 banks that are selected using the A-D bank buttons. The high digit of the tone is displayed as a flashing tone button and the low digit is a steady light so the selected tone can be viewed at a glance.
• MidiCC support for all parameters, Midi Sysex support for Tone Dump & Load.
• Midi In & Out Channels can be separately set.
• Patch Editor Control of Parameters (requires PE v 5.0 or later)
• Two styles of Polyphonic (7th note override or 7th note ignored) and Last note priority Unison Key Assign Modes
• Chord Mode. Any chord with up to 6 notes can be set and played from any key
• The Arpeggiator can be clocked from the internal/external clock or midi clock divided by 3,4,6,9,12,18,24,36,48,72,96,128,144,168 or 192.
• Arp modes are Up, Down, Up and Down, 0, 1 or 2 octaves and can be controlled via midi
• Key transpose allows transposition to any key Up or down up to 2 octaves
• Arpeggiator can be Started, Stopped & Continued using Midi Commands
• Appeggiator will Output Midi Data
• Internet update system
• The Upgrade comes with a replacement metal plate for the power cord. This plate has an IEC socket for a standard power cord (note - Power cord is not supplied), screws and space to mount the Korg Serial Number plate and midi in and out sockets are mounted. An internal cable is supplied to plug into the KiwiSix Upgrade board for Midi I/O.
• Installation is simple and the only soldering required is for the Power wires to the replacement plate. Full installation instructions will be in the User Manual.
• Future plans are for other features to be controlled via midi. Due to the lack of control buttons it will not be possible to add further options using the front panel controls so these will be available using midi control only.
• Compatible midiCC control set for all Kiwitechnics products
Full details, prices, release date and manuals will be posted here as soon as they are available. Please do not email about these in the meantime as time spent answering questions will only delay the product."

Korg MS-20 tutorial: External Sound Processing

Korg MS-20 tutorial: External sound processing Part 1

YouTube Published on May 23, 2012 by demokid2000

"I have read some posts on forums how to process external sounds thru a Korg MS 20. Yes it is very easy but some forget that you have to trigger the envelope to hear the processed sound. This can be done manually by playing the keyboard or via CV/Gate.
I decided to make a short tutorial how to process external audio thru the MS-20 playing the keyboard live. This is the easiest way to start.

In this demo the Elka Synthex plays a string sound and is controlled by MIDI.

You can also use the MS-20 Trig Out in the External Signal Processor section to trigger the envelope. You need some patch cords to achieve this. I will cover this in 'Korg MS-20 tutorial: External sound processing Part 2'."

"This is part two of the Korg MS-20 external audio process tutorial. In this video we use the Trig Out in the EPS to trigger the Korg MS20 envelope. It's a bit trickier since you have to use two patch cords but it's quite easy.

In part three we use the envelope follower in the EPS section to control the envelope an external audio processing.

LaGrange College Moog Poster & Bob Moog's Sense of Humor

via Eric Frampton:

"Bob had a good sense of humor.

He and I were on the same lecture schedule together at an electronic music festival at LaGrange College down in middle Georgia. We got to spend a fair amount of time just hangin' out, so I brought him a printed copy of the 12 Steps of Syntheholics Anonymous, a posting on Analogue Heaven from back in 1995, which I thought he'd enjoy. He indeed thought it was funny, enough that when I asked him to sign my poster, he signed it thusly.

I brought a bunch of my vintage keyboards down there as as show-and-tell sort of thing. I had the Memorymoog, the Mini, a Source, and I forget what all else (this was in 1998, at the height of my G.A.S.), and I remember him saying, 'I see you don't have a Polymoog here.' To which I replied something along the lines of, good lord those things are awful, what a maintenance nightmare, not worth the trouble, etc. He simply gave me a knowing smirk, and a nod of agreement. Nothing more needed to be said.

Also, I asked him what was the last product he directly worked on at the old Moog. Turns out it was the Micromoog.

I've copied the original 12-step email here for reference. And sorry about the fuzzy poster shots…I hope they still get the message across.

Subject: Syntheholics Anonymous
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1995 10:08:39 -0700

–

Hello, my name is Mr-808. I am a syntheholic.

I bought my last synth 5 days ago. I was talking to a friend, and he said he was selling his Polaris for US$300, and I just couldn't resist.

I would like to review the 12 steps of SA now:

1. We admitted we were powerless over analogue synths at good prices and that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Bob Moog, as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our gear collection.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the number of times we used each synth in a piece of recorded music in the past year.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these synths from our studio.

7. Humbly asked Him to give them back if we promise not to buy any more until we master what we have.

8. Made a list of all persons we had sold gear to at too high a price, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others, or embroil us in a flamewar.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it on both Analogue Heaven and rec.music.maker.synth.

11. Sought, through patch editing and sequencing, to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of Control Voltages and DIN Sync conversion, and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to syntheholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."

Also on MUTEK

"Canadian electronic artist Solvent was commissioned to create an all-modular synthesizer based soundtrack for the forthcoming documentary I Dream of Wires; The challenge allowed him the opportunity to work with a vast array of modular synthesizers, both new and vintage.

Solvent, born Jason Amm in Zimbabwe, and currently residing in Toronto, Canada, has been releasing his unique brand of analogue synthesizer music since 1997, encompassing crunchy IDM, melodic electro, and vocoder synthpop. Best known for his releases on Morr Music and Ghostly International, Solvent is also co-founder of the obscure, yet influential electro(nica) label, Suction Records. All of the music heard in this video segment was created by Solvent during several on-camera album recording sessions. No drum machines, samples, or hardwired synthesizers were used; each and every sound was created from scratch on the following selection of modular synthesizer systems: Eurorack, Modcan, Synthesizers.com, and Moog 15.

In addition to creating the film's soundtrack, Amm has recently been serving as writer and producer for "I Dream Of Wires".

Solvent was scheduled to perform live on June 2nd, 10pm at the Satosphere as part of I Dream Of Wires' 2012 MUTEK showcase, but unfortunately his performance at the event has been cancelled.

You can also read the first posts about it on the blog : http://julienbayle.net/2012/05/05/early-description-about-my-generative-music-mood-machine/


Mobile Mood Machine (aka MoMoM ) is one of the strangest iOS application amongst a lot of music application for iPhone/iPod & iPad

Mobile Mood Machine provides a playground you can touch with your fingers.

Rules are really easy and minimalistic:
- touch the screen to create spherical creatures popping out sine waves sounds
- the more the touch is made at the top, the more the creatures pop out high pitched sounds
- the more the touch duration is, the more the sound popped it will have a long decay
- choose a Mood which consists in color gradient, sequences rules, scale
- choose to listen special designed soundscapes in the background or not
- adjust the delay and the effect of time over the age of those digital creatures
- enjoy !

Minimalism, Zen & Quietness are the main words that could describe this iOS application.

The Mobile Mood Machine 's engine works with circular buffers recording until 8 sequences represented by 8 colors.
Each sequence is repeated according to specific rules related to the current chosen Mood.
Some Moods are minor, some are major with a lot of time between sequence repetitions, some are hypnotically repetitive.

You can choose to make creatures becoming old. In that case, they will progressively disappear and their sounds will have a bigger attack til their end, when they will completely disappear.
Some Moods make them to be old faster, or slower.

You can also start it and choose the automatic induction mode of the Mobile Mood Machine
In that case, you just have to close your eyes, to let those waves enveloping you into a sweet bubble of zen protection.
Those sounds can cancel all annoying aggressive noises surrounding us everytime.

Here are some possible uses:
- walking in the street
- being in the train
- beginning to try to sleep
- before going to a boring meeting
- together with your loved one relaxed

This promising system have already a nice roadmap for the next months."

For a Plurality of Sound Systems (Buchla200e, Radio, Tape Recorder, Max/MSP)
Score available at Edition Peters

The score is made of symbols printed on transparent plastic sheets,
the symbols set the number of available and possible sound systems
(a sound system is made of speakers, generators and components such as filters, modulators, amplifiers).
The symbols are dropped on a white sheet painted with a straight black line.
The axis of each symbol states whether the component or generator must change
or stand still (% of amount of change). Some changes are done manually, some other are made by control voltage. Amplification and surround pan are controlled (following the score) by max/MSP.
At a certain point the radio went outside the FM band, making just clicks and pops... :)

Recorded in binaural simulation, use headphones.

"Dedicated to Bob Moog, this song features over 90 stereo tracks of Minimoog Voyager. The images are of the actual instrument you are hearing. Around the 5:00 mark, there are some pics of the store from which the Moog was purchased (Novamusik).

The Voyager gets quite a workout in this piece, and I do my best to make it sound big and nasty. As it opens, the Moog mothership descends, tentacles of patch-cable swirling, and abducts the listener to the far reaches of the galaxy at well beyond light speed. As for what happens after that?

Because I like to hack, to play, because I like random noises & strange shuffle, I made this little hack simulating mouse cursor movement & click from Max/MSP (= Max6 today..)

I also used Ableton Live to play some 808 beats using some follow actions & tricky clip launching options we, certified trainers, only know :D Kidding. You can do that easily.

And here is that electronic glitchy & software hack strange result: The Acid Bob's Birthday !

MAke more like to totally control the synth from Ableton Live or any MIDI player would be easy.
As soon as you have the "box" that convert a MIDI note pitch into a position on the screen, you can do that.

Letter to Jon Hassell
Electronic Music - The Early Years

I had a very interesting experience about one week ago. A gentleman, Mr. Robert Moog, who claims to know of you, visited Washington and demonstrated a compact electronic studio. He claims to be the only man in the country building and designing equipment solely for the creation of electronic music. He was tremendously impressed with your proposals. [For - among other things - applying the principles of electronic music manipulation to the video domain.] He stated that he would be able to provide much of the equipment called for in those proposals at the same quality or better at considerably less cost.

He also demonstrated equipment (in a crude state of development) which could provide great flexibility with extremely simple manipulation involved, almost to the point of being able to improvise an electronic composition - to be recorded or not. He is going to send me descriptive material and quotations, copies of which I will either forward to you or hold for your interest and considerations.

For some perspective on the date see the Moog Legacy Timeline. This would have been right after AES when Bob Moog showed his system for the first time.

"Chance for a thematic day, I just work on drumkits based on moog synth samples. Here I used 2, one by ear, especially managing here timeFrog's arpegiator features on many slots (up to 8, I can't manage more slots for now...) and sequencer / automate together or switched.Horizontal faders assigned on pano on each drumkit. Sometime stranges behaviour since my monitoring plug is only mono, and the recording in stereo..."

This one was originally posted back on September 16, 2006. I have a policy of only posting things once considering how much goes up, but I realize I didn't embed it back then. I just saw the video after the last post and thought today was obviously a good day to embed it.

"In the mid-1960s, Dr. Robert Moog unleashed a new universe of sounds into musicdom with his invention of the electronic analog Moog Synthesizer. The timbre and tones of these keyboard instruments (true works of art in and of themselves) would come to define a generation of music, featuring heavily in songs by The Beatles, The Doors, Stevie Wonder, Kraftwerk and many others.

When people hear the word “synthesizer” they often think “synthetic”—fake, manufactured, unnatural. In contrast, Bob Moog’s synthesizers produce beautiful, organic and rich sounds that are, nearly 50 years later, regarded by many professional musicians as the epitome of an electronic instrument. “Synthesizer,” it turns out, refers to the synthesis embedded in Moog’s instruments: a network of electronic components working together to create a whole greater than the sum of the parts.

With his passion for high-tech toolmaking in the service of creativity, Bob Moog is something of a patron saint of the nerdy arts and a hero to many of us here. So for the next 24 hours on our homepage, you’ll find an interactive, playable logo inspired by the instruments with which Moog brought musical performance into the electronic age. You can use your mouse or computer keyboard to control the mini-synthesizer’s keys and knobs to make nearly limitless sounds. Keeping with the theme of 1960s music technology, we’ve patched the keyboard into a 4-track tape recorder so you can record, play back and share songs via short links or Google+.

Much like the musical machines Bob Moog created, this doodle was synthesized from a number of smaller components to form a unique instrument. When experienced with Google Chrome, sound is generated natively using the Web Audio API—a doodle first (for other browsers the Flash plugin is used). This doodle also takes advantage of JavaScript, Closure libraries, CSS3 and tools like Google Web Fonts, the Google+ API, the Google URL Shortener and App Engine.

Special thanks to engineers Reinaldo Aguiar and Rui Lopes and doodle team lead Ryan Germick for their work, as well as the Bob Moog Foundation and Moog Music for their blessing. Now give those knobs a spin and compose a tune that would make Dr. Moog smile!

Bob Moog’s Birthday Garners Google Recognition and Industry Support

The Bob Moog Foundation Press Release:

"May 23, 2012 Asheville, NC-- The Bob Moog Foundation is joined by supporters worldwide in their celebration of the anniversary of the synth pioneer’s 78th birthday. Global technology leader Google released their latest doodle, an interactive, synthesizer-based, playable logo, which honors Bob Moog’s inventions. The Moog Doodle can be played using a mouse or by typing to make nearly limitless sounds. Keeping with the theme of 1960s music technology, a keyboard is patched into a 4-track tape recorder allowing the play back and sharing of songs via short links. The doodle can be viewed and played at www.google.com.

Google software engineer Joey Hurst’s plains the impetus behind the Moog doodle, "With his passion for high-tech toolmaking in the service of creativity, Bob Moog is something of a patron saint of the nerdy arts and a hero to many of us here at Google."

BMF Archive and Education Specialist Marc Doty has posted a 15 minute video demonstrating the various parameters of the doodle synthesizer. His video has over 8,000 views and has been picked up by Mashable and the Washington Post. The video can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/JFkWqi

To promote the incredible doodle tribute, the Bob Moog Foundation is hosting a contest on the home page of its website. Music fans from around the world can share their musical creations in the comments section of the blog on the home page of www.moogfoundation.org. A winner will be chosen and awarded Arturia’s Dr. Bob’s Collector’s Pack, which includes award-winning Minimoog and modular Moog software (valued at over $300).

Furthering the celebration, Moog Music, Inc. will donate 50% of all online clothing and merchandise sales on May 23rd to the Bob Moog Foundation. For every $350 raised, the company will also donate one Etherwave Theremin to the Foundation’s educational initiative, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool. This promotion includes their brand new line of product-inspired apparel boasting graphics bold enough to induce a geekfest for synth enthusiasts everywhere. Moog instruments are not included in the annual event.

Moog Music clothing and merchandise can be purchased from the company’s online store: www.moogmusic.com/products/clothing and www.moogmusic.com/merch.
