Moog Muse | Bitimbrality &

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore the bi-timbrality of Muse.

We first look at the bi-timbral nature of Muse and how voices are allocated to each of Muse’s two timbres. We then take a look at the Voice Control module of Muse, and how you can use SPLIT to restrict Timbre A to the left side of the keyboard while Timbre B is restricted to the right side. We also look at how you can change the keyboard split point, swap timbre settings, and explore how you can restrict voice counts per-timbre. Finally, we look at STACK and how timbres can be layered on top of each other for deeper sound design possibilities."

Muse | Spatial Binaural Spread

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we look at some of Muse's spatial and binaural features.

We begin by looking at the Pan Spread control, which by default spreads alternating voices in the left/right stereo field at increasing width. With this we can take a mono synth sound and create something much more enveloping. Next we look at spatial (sometimes called ‘binaural’) modulation with the LFO PHASE SPREAD setting in the VCA more menu. With this setting enabled and an LFO set to per-voice (instead of global) as Pan Spread is increased the LFO will be inverted in the right channel. When used to control a parameter like the volume, this turns a simple tremolo effect into something similar to a rotating Leslie speaker cabinet. Finally, we look at random Pan Spread voice placement."
