MKDVB - This Is Love

I recently bought an OG Moog MiniMoog Model D that's in dire need of servicing and repair. The synth tech says it needs all the op amps replaced, rebuilt power supply, etc but otherwise in pretty good shape. The oscillator pitch is unstable, especially on OSC 3, so it's always randomly gliding and glitching when I play it. It's going into the shop soon but I decided to make a track with it now anyway.

The Moog is on bass/rhythm track duties because it was too unreliable to play more lead sounds. You'll hear the pitch gliding randomly as the track goes on. Because the Moog was so glitchy, I picked a granular-type piano patch on the Prophet X as well as strings on it during the bridges. I'm also sending my sax through Mutable Instruments Beads to add some improvised duet action.

Thanks for tuning in! --davy"

Moog Modular "Preset Box Working" Demo....

video upload by noddyspuncture

"Having built three of the ten cards and wired up their 'D' connecting harnesses I can now switch between four sounds.... four because the 'cancel' or 'panel' button strangely also make a nice sound..! This is quite strange because for the preset cards to work the EG, filter and footage setting have to be set a certain way. So here's my first time using the thing that I've been building for over a year now. I also added a section of a close up of one cards and I'm running through different settings and tweaking away so you get an idea of how it works."

Deprivation | IDM synthwave Moog Matriarch and Elektron Monomachine

video upload by MIDERA

"Another track using the Matriarch and Monomachine. Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb.

Only had a few hours as my oldest daughter is at daycare while my wife has the newborn.

The other night, I woke up and my brain said 'Your heart has stopped.' I checked and couldn't feel a pulse. I jumped out of bed and ran to my wife (who was in another room). I found my pulse. I'm certain there was no way I had no pulse (and had the ability to jump out of bed and run), but wow, that was scary. Sleep deprivation is crazy."
