Minimal Electronic w/ LOSSY, Music Easel, Prophet-10 | Sunlit Leaves 2025-04-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, Grandmother, and ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel—minimal music built around arpeggios.

All parts are driven by MIDI in Ableton Live.

Prophet-10: Plays the main arpeggio, processed with ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

Music Easel: Also plays a primary arpeggio, but heavily processed with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY.

Grandmother: Handles the bass line.

Moog One: Provides the harmonic layer.

I record while tweaking parameters on each synth."

Moog Grandmother is a Drum Synth. Analog Patches Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Drum Synth is a collection of 25 patches for the semi-modular Moog Grandmother, featuring 5 Kicks, 5 Snares, 5 Cymbals, and 10 Percussion sounds.
This is my fourth soundset for Grandmother, and this time, I wanted to explore its potential for percussive timbres.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/gran...

🥁 Inspired by the character and sonic qualities of analog drum machines, I set out to recreate similar tones on Grandmother. Its analog oscillators, filter, and punchy envelope provide a solid foundation for deep, warm, and saturated drum sounds, while the patching capabilities open up a broad spectrum of sonic possibilities—ranging from FM and metallic tones to wooden, modular, noisy, and experimental textures.

🎹 Try different keys and octaves—the same patch can take on entirely different roles across a 3-4 octave range. If precise pitch is required, use the FINE TUNE control on the back panel, as modulation can shift the overall tuning.

🎛 One of Grandmother’s biggest advantages for percussion is the ability to finely tweak parameters and use the ModWheel for expressive control—something not possible on traditional drum machines. With real-time modulation and parameter adjustments, a single preset can generate dozens of variations, making each performance dynamic and unique.

💾 That's exactly what I did. I recorded hundreds of one-shot samples from each patch, capturing different pitches, durations, and tonal variations.

Alongside the 25 patches, you’ll also receive 678 percussive one-shots in WAV format (44.1kHz/24-bit): 188 Kicks, 105 Snares, 112 Cymbals, 273 Percussion sounds.

📖 The soundset comes in a PDF format, with each page explaining how the patch works, which parameters to tweak, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you follow these guidelines and experiment with the suggested settings, you'll gain deeper insight into the synth and its full potential.

🗄 Each patch includes an audio example to illustrate the intended sound.
To recreate these patches, you’ll need up to 8 patch cables.
Additionally, make sure your Grandmother is updated to firmware v1.1.3 or higher to access all necessary settings.

Minimal Ambient w/ Moog One, Sirin, Grandmother | Meltwater 2025-03-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Moog One, Sirin, and Grandmother. It’s a minimal ambient track where the electronic sounds of three synthesizers gradually evolve.

The Moog One provides the harmonies, the Sirin plays arpeggios, and the Grandmother handles the bass. All sounds are triggered via MIDI sent from a DAW. The Sirin is connected to an NTS-3, which applies reverb and delay."

Nation of Language | Weak In Your Light | Moog Sound Lab

video upload by Moog Music

"Breakthrough indie pop band Nation of Language enters the Moog Sound Lab in our hometown of Asheville, NC to play a rendition of 'Weak In Your Light' from their 2023 album release, ‘Strange Disciple’.

With bouncing synth sounds, beat-driven arpeggiators, and experimental analog tones, this Brooklyn-based band has been inspiring to watch from the start. This combination of unfamiliar yet irresistible sounds garnered a vast online fanbase during the COVID-19 pandemic and later sent them on a lengthy world-wide run of shows. Nation of Language is celebrated for mixing nostalgic synth-pop inspired hooks and melodies with a new age post-punk flare.

Watching this trio reimagine and perform their track on our Subsequent 37, Minimoog Model D, Moog One, Grandmother, and Matriarch is nothing short of magic. We invite you to experience the one and only--- Nation of Language."

Ambient w/ MOOG GRANDMOTHER, Novation Circuit, Tape Loop | Tomam 2024-12-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"his work was created using ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ GRANDMOTHER, ‪@NovationTV‬ CIRCUIT, and tape loops. The arpeggiator of GRANDMOTHER and the sounds of the tape loops resonate in sync with the synth pad. CIRCUIT is blended using ‪@NativeInstruments‬ RAUM within the DAW.

The synth pad sound is produced by the MOTIF-RACK ES.

The arpeggiator of GRANDMOTHER receives MIDI from the DAW, synchronizing the tempo while varying the note lengths.

The tape loop sounds are looped using ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM’s PHRASE LOOPER while layering the original audio."

Prophet Rev 2

video uploads by Daniel Mana - sound designer & composer

Playlist:
1. The Prophet Rev2 makes me dream

I love spending hours just tweaking the knobs of the Rev2, the Prophet Rev2 makes me dream and it takes me to unexplored territories. As I said in a previous videos it's not an "easy" synthesizer, it takes time to find the sound you are looking for but it's capable of anything really.

2. How does the Prophet Rev2 filter sound? I love it!

How is that possible? do you think it spunds bad? How does the Prophet Rev2 filter sound? I love it! it's great! please let me know in the comments.

3. Prophet Rev 2 + Moog Grandmother arpeggio on a sunday morning

The Sequential Prophet rev2 and the Moog Grandmother are a perfect combo, the first one is a polyphonic synthesizer, the second is a dream monophonic semimodular synth.
This recording was part of my usual sunday morning making music routine, after playing a little bit with the Sequential Rev 2 and its modulation I came up with this patch that I really liked and it sounded great as a layer for the Grandomother arpeggios running over it. I play with the filter and with the envelopes on the grandmother and towards the add I add the extra modulation to the vcf from the lfo. Pretty happy the way it came out.

4. Sequential Prophet rev2 // a unique sounding synthesizer [previously posted here]

The Sequential Prophet rev2 is a unique sounding synthesizer, I have read so many things about it, a lot of people say it doesn't good, some say it's the best synth ever, well....I love it!
Does it sound like a Prophet 5? No
Does it sound like a Prophet? Absolutely yes
Is it better or worse than a Prophet 5? it's different, it has its own sounds and I really like it, you can dial in any sound really, and it does sound big!
There is one thing though that I've read and I do agree with, it's not an "easy" synth, and by easy I mean that it does take a little bit longer in order to dial in a certain sound that you are looking for.
It offers infinite possibilities of modulation, maybe too many, but it's very easy to use and intuitive.
The possibilty to split the keyboard or to stack two layers of sounds makes it a beast!

Digitakt Jam with Novation and Moog

video upload by Hut 181

"String sample taken from the X-station into the Digitakt, then sequenced with a simple beat and the Moog Grandmother sequenced over midi.

This was just a couple of hours of mashing around to re-familiarise myself with the Digitakt and also to explore pattern chains, song mode, sample management and the onboard mixer and compressor."

"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/prophetx

So, it's been almost 4 Years since I worked on the Prophet X and then released X-Plorations Vol 1. While it does have some amazing Factory Samples from 8DIO, which i have used, I was a little disappointed in the Synth Samples, so I sampled 14 of my Synths, just the Oscillators wide open over many Octaves and EVERY note.
