A Hybrid Digisound & Aries Modular Synthesizer at Switched On

Published on Sep 5, 2013 Switched On·49 videos

"This spectacular synthesizer system is a combination of Digisound modules (white faceplates) & Aries Modular (black faceplates). Originally there were two non-functional systems, an Aries Modular system and the Digisound. Switched On was asked to resurrect two separate system and combine them for the best arrangement of modules. The result was very pleasing to say the least!

This patch is based around the 4 wavetable based Digisound DCOs cycling through a bank of 8 wavetables each. Each DCO has 4 banks of 8 waveforms totaling at 32 possible waveforms. Occasionally you will see the bank being switched to allow a different set of 8 waveforms to cycle. By "multing" the pulse signal off the Digisound Quad LFO we are able to make all 4 Digisound DCOs step through various waveforms in time. One of the DCOs is being processed through the Digisound Ring Modulator to add some extra metallic brilliance, and another DCO is being processed through the Aries Frequency Divider adding even further versatility to the timbre. All 4 are being mixed and summed into the gorgeous sounding fully discrete state variable filter made by Aries. In our opinion the sound of the filter is somewhat reminiscent of a Sequential Circuits Pro-One. We are also sending just a touch of modulation from the Digisound Quad LFO to the cutoff frequency and resonance of the Aries Filter to add some extra animation to our sound. In this circumstance we are using the filter as an output stage as well.

We hope you enjoy the sounds of this very rare and unique modular system that we had the pleasure of working on!

MOOG SOUND LAB | Sylvan Esso

Published on Sep 5, 2013 MoogMusicInc·251 videos

"Amelia and Nick of Sylvan Esso came into the Moog Sound Lab armed with only a Laptop and a voice. They surrounded themselves with an array of Moog synthesizers and Moogerfoogers to rework their debut single "Hey Mami".

How'd they get that sound?

· Amelia is singing through an MF-104M Analog Delay and live looping her voice to create all of the harmonies.
· Kick drum was created using the filter resonance and overload on a Slim Phatty
· High Hat is a Voyager Rack Mount and Nick is tweaking the Filter Cutoff to change the pitch of the high hat
· Snare Drum is created with a Voyager Rack Mount- a combination of noise with the input being driven and processed through a 500 Series Analog Delay
· Nick is using Ableton Live to record and trigger all of the live samples. The entire MIDI sequencing of all the Moog gear is coming from Ableton, but all of the automation is being done manually by Sanborn
· The harmonic bell-like sounds are from a Sub Phatty
· Bass lines are a Minitaur bass synthesizer. An MF-104M Analog Delay is turned on and off as he adjusts the pitch on the fly throughout the song.
