What Makes a Minimoog So Special?

Bob Moog's 24 dB per octave ladder filter is arguably the most beautiful-sounding synthesizer filter ever created, and the version on the Moog Minimoog is one of the factors that made the Minimoog's sound legendary. Watch as Bob Moog Foundation Archive and Education Specialist Marc Doty demonstrates this great-sounding filter."

"A Demonstration of some of the more harsh and upfront modulation capabilities of the version with the ARP filter. I put a simple backing loop for the tweaks to show them a bit in context.

I'm running two arps (Cream and Blue Arp) in serial, and sometimes they crap out a bit with the notes, sorry.

Lots of sync, filter and ring cross mod here. Some feedback here and there, but not really that much. Amp overdrive is not on, but I might have or had not connected the osc out to ext in, I frankly don't remember anymore. Sub osc is off all the time.

The synth is very well thought out, all controls have a pretty sensible range, and you can see the years of synth design experience in the architecture clearly. The sound is clear but not too sharp, and the ARP filter sounds good. Not very liquid or crisp, but more like a well worn antique chair that's just nice to sit on with the right places smoothed out, and all the joints radiate carpentry made with love :) It responds to frequency modulation pretty well, altough the sound with audio rate modulations is a bit brown.

There is a limiter (Izotope Alloy 2) to keep the levels constant, and a delay, just to show a little bit better how the unit sits in a mix. I will upload a version without the backing loop and delay to Soundcloud. No other effects used."

A Singing Comet - Rosetta's 'Philae' Makes Historic First Landing on a Comet

"Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) has uncovered a mysterious ‘song’ that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is singing into space. The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased in this recording. Thumbnail image credit: ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM – CC BY-SA IGO 3.0"
