"Moog One firmware update 1.2.0 which was released just before Christmas (2019) included 14 fixes and 5 new features, as well as 45 new patches included with the download. Today we look at what might be the best new feature, the "Active Voice Indicator" which may finally help you answer the question "Is eight voices enough?" We found it could also serve as a diagnostic tool to help identify which oscillator might be misbehaving if you are having an issue. Check it out.

Moog Matriarch: Exploring Stereo Delay and Modulation

Published on Sep 26, 2019 Getsemani Music

"Put on your finest headphones as we explore the new Moog Matriarch. Today we'll focus on experimenting with the built in stereo delay and modulation modules. This demo uses no external effects and no special patching, just using the Matriarch's default internal wiring. We ended up with some interesting spacy effects, and sounds ranging from the delicate to shredding with some reminiscence of Emerson's modular."

"We just took delivery of our new Moog Matriarch. We set it right up and spent a couple of minutes turning knobs until we had a satisfactory sound to start experimenting. What this video shows is the first 8 minutes of trying it out. No manual, no studying, no patch work (yet)... just playing around. Conclusion: We love it, and now to start digging deeper!"

Jam of the Day - July 21, 2019 with Moog One, Moog Voyager and Yamaha PSR-S975

Published on Jul 21, 2019 Getsemani Music

"Today's improvised offering is a laid back pad filled ambient tune with an interesting mixture of textures. For the Moog One, I blended together two of GeoSynth's new patches by Jamie Morden. Synth 1 and 2 are loaded with "The Model GEO" with the lead on synth 1 and bass sequence on synth 2. Synth 3 is loaded with '5th Dimension GEO' which makes up the string section. The Voyager holds another evolving lead patch, an original we call 'Evolver.' The percussion section is done on a Yamaha PSR-S975 using the "Bolero Lento" style slowed to 70 bpm."

Playlist:

1. One Voice: Moog One 1.0.4 New Sounds, Part 1, New Effects

Firmware release 1.0.4 for the Moog One included two new effect types and two new groups of presets. In part 1 we showcase the two new effects, Stereo Flanger and Stereo Chorus by creating an INIT patch and sampling each of the effect presets. Headphone are highly recommended to hear the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences.

Both Stereo Flanger and Stereo Chorus appear as both Master Effects and Synth Effects. We're only showing the Master Effects with Stereo Width cranked up to 200% for maximum effect.

Firmware release 1.0.4 for the Moog One included two new effect types and two new groups of presets. In part 2 we showcase the two new preset groups. Headphone are highly recommended to fully appreciate the depth of the sounds.

The first group named "1-0-4 LOWGRITT" contains ten new presets: Code Red, Copter Strike, Crown, Diamond, Grey Exit, Horizon, Medicine, Metropolitan, Panther, and Swordfish. The second group, named simply "1.0.4" contains three additional presets; Colour Wheel, Shadowland, and Shared Tale.
