Moog Sub 37 First Test (with Light Show!)

Published on Aug 13, 2014 GenshiMediaGroup

"This is my first quick test of the new Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition synth. Recorded into 4 tracks of Ableton Live, all sounds you hear are the Moog Sub 37 exclusively (including the simple drum beat.) I did add a touch of delay on the lead synth sound using the Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo pedal. I also included the "Light Show" mode at the end of the video; synchronized with a patch I programmed."

Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition - Test #02 (with more Light Show!)

Published on Aug 15, 2014 GenshiMediaGroup

"Another quick test of the Moog Sub 37... nine tracks recorded live into Ableton Live.

All sounds including the beat are from the Moog Sub 37 only (with a touch of delay from the Strymon El Capistan on two of the synth parts.) I tried to show a wide variety of sounds, from classic soft leads to crunchy distorted bass, as well as some filter and modulation tweaks.

And this time, instead of recording me actually playing each part (which is a pain in the butt to do) I thought I'd spare you all from having to look at my ugly hairy arms... and show more of the Light Show mode! As always, a good pair of headphones are highly recommended."

1970s Yamaha EM-130 Mixer w/ Beatbox Demo

Published on Aug 12, 2014 peahix

"This is an early Yamaha mixer with a built-in beatbox. I couldn't find any other audio demos of this thing online, so I figured I'd make one. It only has a few different preset beats, but as with most drum machines of this era, you can press multiple buttons at once and combine the beats to get more interesting patterns. The mixer also has a spring reverb, which the beatbox isn't hard-wired to, but you can get around that by patching one of the outputs to a channel input and turning up the reverb. I demonstrate this in the second part of the video. At the end I add in a little bit of the tuning knob."

Serge Pulse Sequencer Demo

Published on Aug 13, 2014 Todd Barton

"A little exploration of using the individual Pulse Outputs of the Serge TKB to create varied sounds and timbres from a single Serge Precision VCO. The concept is to trigger different DSGs (using either Trig In or IN) and varying the rise and falls times to get the sounds you like.
This is just the simplest of demonstrations – take it and run with it! Twist those knobs!!"
