Moog Grandmother Synthesizer - First Impressions and Sounds with Justin Meldal-Johnsen

Published on May 13, 2018 Musician's Friend

"Introducing the Moog Grandmother synthesizer! Grandmother is a semi-modular analog synth that offers classic Moog sound, an intuitive signal path and endless sound design possibilities, thanks to its expansive 41-point patch system.

To offer you an in-depth look at Grandmother we recently spent the day with musician and producer, Justin Meldal-Johnsen. Justin's production credits include M83, Wolf Alice, Paramore, Metric, Jimmy Eat World, School of Seven Bells and more. Justin is also known for his great bass, guitar and keyboard playing, as a touring and recording musician with Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Air and more.

Grandmother builds on Moog's impressive legacy with circuits inspired by Moog's own classic Modular Synthesizers. Grandmother features a fully-analog sound engine, and features dual oscillators based on the Minimoog, classic Moog 4-Pole ladder filter, an impressive Modulation section and on-board spring reverb."




via Moog Music

Today we release Grandmother, a semi-modular analog synthesizer with a built-in arpeggiator, sequencer and spring reverb tank that harkens back to Moog’s modular roots, where synthesis is not only about the end result, but the journey of discovery and experimentation.

Grandmother's semi-modular design ensures that human beings of any skill-level can easily explore and experience the joys and magic of analog synthesis -- start playing immediately with “no patching required”, then explore an infinite sonic playground with Grandmother’s endlessly reconfigurable front panel and analog spring reverb tank."

"Grandmother is a sonic playground that harkens back to Moog’s modular roots, where synthesis is not only about the end result, but the journey of discovery and experimentation. While capable of highly complex sounds and modulation, Grandmother's semi-modular design requires absolutely no patching, ensuring that human beings of any skill-level can easily explore and experience the joys and magic of analog synthesis.

Inspired by the classic Moog modular synthesizers that came before it, Grandmother's sound engine, modulation engine and onboard spring reverb tank are completely analog, resulting in an unrestricted sonic vocabulary of immeasurable beauty and power. In addition, Grandmother also features an easy to use Arpeggiator and Sequencer for added enjoyment and programmable syncopation.

Though not required, creative patching and exploration are the keys to discovering exciting new relationships between modules and to truly unlocking Grandmother’s infinite expanse of auditory inspiration. Patching can also be used to override internal connections, allowing each section to function just as an independent module would.

In addition to its standalone function, Grandmother is also an ideal analog audio processor for external sound sources, and a powerful keyboard front end for expanding a Mother-32, DFAM or Eurorack modular system.

Meet the New Moog Grandmother


Update: official announcement with videos here.

This one in via MATRIXSYNTH reader, mario.

Update: Two new stock pics, and one in the box via JMP in the comments.

$899.00 List $999.00

"Limited-edition design created exclusively for Moogfest 2018.

To celebrate Grandmother’s debut at Moogfest 2018, the first 500 units have been marked with a limited-edition Moogfest 2018 badge and include a custom denim jacket from Moog. Get your Grandmother Moogfest 2018 Edition before they're gone!

Retro looks, cool vibe and a sound that's all Moog. Grandmother is a direct reflection of Moog's modular heritage, where the journey to creating sound is as much fun as the end result. There are no presets, so you'll have to rely on creative exploration and a basic understanding of synthesis to achieve any desired results, but nothing can compare to the joy and satisfaction of creating your own custom sounds. Just like its vintage predecessors, Grandmother's sound engine, modulation engine and onboard spring reverb tank are 100% analog. Want proof? Just give the desk a bump and listen to its springs rattle inside. With Grandmother, what you see is what you get. No menu diving, no recall, nothing to get in the way of you and your sound.

The Grandmother is a semi-modular synth, which means you can start playing it right out of the box without any patching. But if you want to experience the full creative potential of Grandmother, just use any of its 41 patch points to override its internal circuitry and create your own complex signal routing. Choose from 21 inputs, 16 outputs and a parallel-wired 4-jack mult. The options are only limited by your imagination, and with the ability to integrate Grandmother into other modular synths like the Mother-32 or DFAM, or even into larger Eurorack systems, the possibilities are infinite.

Analog Architecture
All the basic building blocks of a modular synth are included in the Grandmother's design, and even some welcomed extras. There are two analog oscillators each with their own selectable waveforms including triangle, sawtooth, square and pulse, with a hard sync button to align them appropriately. The analog LFO is perfect for adding some movement to your sound and with its audio-rate capability, it can act as a third oscillator for bigger, more aggressive sounds. There's also a classic Moog 4-pole 10Hz-20kHz Ladder filter, patchable 1-pole high-pass filter, and an analog ADSR envelope generator ready to sculpt your sound.

Beyond The Basics
The Grandmother would be an excellent machine with only the essentials, but Moog innovates further by adding in an analog hardware spring reverb tank that can add a subtle shine, while taming any harsh frequencies. The reverb tank can also be used to process external sources as a standalone effect. Grandmother also has a built-in arpeggiator that's easy to use and an onboard sequencer that can store up to 3 sequences with up to 256 notes each.

Dune Expectral - Brazilian Synth Tracks Featuring VBrazil Systems, RECO-SYNTH Pogona 3, Novation Peak & the Moog Grandmother


Dune Expectral

Note this the first post to feature the RECO-SYNTH Pogona 3.

Playlist:

1. Sunset Synthesizer - Eurorack and Moog Grandmother Brazilian Jams
Be welcome! I am very happy to have you here.

This is a challenge, I am looking for new timbres with my synthesizers, but I decided to look for them in different places, in this case it was a wonderful sunset in the city of Sorriso, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

All sounds, modification were created in real time. I used the Moog grandmother to make the bass, the Eurorack modular Vinicius Brazil to create the melogic part, the Novation Peak for the leads, and Pogona 3 by Arthur Joly to create the percussive part, the whole drum is 100% analog.

The melodies are coming through ableton live only this is digital. And of course this wonderful video captured by La Isla Filmes.
2. Wave Folder - JAM SYNTH - Eurorack Modular, Novation Peak
In this jam I used Vinicius Brazil's Wave Folder with Lizard 3. The sound it generates is just amazing. The drums used Arthur Joly's Pogona 3.
3. Quantum - LIVE SYNTH - Eurorack Modular, Moog Grandmother, Novation Peak and Ocean Verb.
I used a Motu microlite to connect Novation Peak, Moog Grandmother and my two modular synthesizers VB and Pogona 3. Ableton live only sends the signal via midi, the rest I did in real time by the synthesizers using the modulations and a WAVEFOLDER to create distortion. I love this!
4. LIVE SYNTH - Eurorack Modular, Moog Grandmother, Novation Peak
I used a Motu microlite to connect Novation Peak, Moog Grandmother and my two modular synthesizers VB and Pogona 3. Ableton live only sends the signal via midi, the rest I did in real time by the synthesizers using the modulations and a WAVEFOLDER to create one distortion.

Moog Grandmother Patch Tutorials


videos by Moog Music Inc

Update: Moog - Matriarch (Patch Diary) by Knobs added below.

Playlist:

1. Grandmother | 2-Op Analog FM Synthesis
This video explores how to achieve analog 2-operator FM synthesis using Grandmother.

In its simplest form, FM synthesis is a sound design method involving two oscillators, typically using sine waves, where one oscillator is used to modulate the frequency of a second oscillator in order to create a new timbre. Adjusting both the depth of that modulation and the harmonic ratio between the two oscillators can yield a wide array of different sounds, ranging from harmonic and musical, to inharmonic and alien.

While FM synthesis is most often associated with digital synthesizers, the all-analog Grandmother is capable of a wide range of FM tones by incorporating the filter and modulation oscillator as sound sources.

No patch sheets were provided for the following:

2. Grandmother | Randomized Filter Envelope Modulation
This video explores using Grandmother’s sample and hold circuit to create randomized envelope modulation of the filter.

Sample and hold (S/H) is a classic electronic circuit commonly used in synthesizers that features a signal input, a gate input, and an output. In practice, a continuously variable signal will be applied to the input, then every time the gate input receives a gate, the circuit will sample the value at the input, send that value to the output, and hold the output at that value until a new gate is received. This allows for many different applications, such as generating a stepped-random voltage from a noise source, creating gate-synced modulations, transforming smooth LFOs into stepped waveforms, analog sample rate reduction, etc.

Grandmother’s S/H circuit is actually set up to always generate stepped random voltages; this means that Grandmother’s noise source is hardwired into the S/H signal input. The S/H gate input is normalled to the modulation oscillator; this means the random signal will always be in sync with the modulation oscillator, and also enables the modulation oscillator’s sync input to be used to gate the S/H for synchronized movement with your playing, arpeggiations, or sequences.

Random voltage is a very powerful tool on a synthesizer, and can help to add some movement and surprise to your patches.

3. Grandmother | Envelope-Controlled Oscillator Sync
This video explores how to achieve envelope-controlled oscillator sync effects using Grandmother.

Oscillator sync is a very unique feature found on synthesizers with two or more oscillators in their voice architecture. It’s a process where one oscillator’s period (a single cycle of the waveform) is used to reset the period of a second oscillator. This imposed synchronization results in the synced oscillator taking on more complex waveforms as it’s forced to share the same base frequency as the oscillator it’s synced to, creating a distinct, harmonically rich, and almost metallic timbre.

Moog has a long history of featuring oscillator sync on our instruments, with the 1979 Moog Prodigy still being known for its especially great-sounding oscillator sync timbres. Grandmother takes things a step further by allowing for extended sync functionality via the incorporation of patch points, offering classic Moog tone, while also opening up new pathways of exploration.
4. Grandmother | Building Sequences Live
This video explores creative approaches to building sequences live using Grandmother.

Grandmother features an analog step sequencer capable of storing three sequences, each containing up to 256 steps. Typically when building sequences, users will enter sequence data while the sequencer is stopped, allowing you to add each note/rest/tie/accent step by step. Sequences can also be edited in real time by flipping the MODE switch to REC while the sequencer is running and pressing keys or the LHC buttons, overwriting any previously stored sequencer data.

This demo looks at how to use the sequencer to first establish a sequence length and create a metronome for yourself while the sequencer is stopped, and then build a sequence on the fly as the sequencer is running. This approach can be a nice way to incorporate improvisation and spontaneity into your writing process, and not have to think too much about planning out your sequences.

Hidden Moog Grandmother Control with Ableton Live & MIDI. Tutorial


video upload by Anton Anru

"In this tutorial, I'm showing how to control hidden Grandmother parameters via MIDI CC, with DAW - Ableton Live and MIDI Controllers. There are many settings inside Moog Grandmother, that can't be accessed from the front panel. I prefer changing them via MIDI, as I find the menu system non-intuitive. Moreover, some parameters can be changed via MIDI only, e.g. Swing Amount or Arp Gate.
This leads me to pair Grandmother with some MIDI device, software or hardware, to ease the workflow with additional parameters. In this video, I'm sharing my experience.

**Watch in HD!!** **Turn it UP!!**

Here it is right out of the box, no patching.
Super awesome MOOG GRANDMOTHER semi-modular
analog synthesizer, almost perfection I'd say (minus the
Ultimate Support Stand issue). I would recommend this
synth to anyone interested in the Classic Moog Vibe,
funky basses, epic leads.... I can go on! Very fun to play!
It's super solid, built like a tank, knobs are sweet to twist!
Final Rating: 8.9 out of 10. Just wish we can have this
in a 49 key and fix the issues underneath so Ultimate
Support Stand users don't have to put something under
the Grandmother to keep it from bouncing up & down.
There are some sounds in this demo that are very LOW
so watch your speakers & headphones! It's earthshaking!
I LOVE THE MOOG GRANDMOTHER!!! WIN! WIN! WIN!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for watching!"

"Four layers of unadulterated analog majesty thanks to the Moog Grandmother and its rich synth tones unleashed. Bask in the meaty synthesizer timbres of this unique Moog synth. This eminently playable electronic instrument confidently handles leads, bass, and synth sequences without breaking a sweat.
#moog #analog #synth
Moog Grandmother is a worthy descendant of the Moog modular synths of yore. It's semi-modular design along with sequencer and spring reverb makes a sound synthesis lab par excellence.

However, it's not just all blips and bloops, the Grandmother is begging to be played. Make no mistake this is a complete synthesizer instrument. Monophonic for sure, but a player's delight nonetheless. To be clear, this synth was purchased with our own money but that doesn't stop us from waxing lyrical about its musical capabilities.

Moog Grandmother "Midnight Modulation Madness"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD!!** **Turn it UP!!!**

Here is the Moog Grandmother hooked up to my legendary
ART Multi Verb LT once owned by famous musician / producer
Steve Schiff (Nana Hagen / Simple Minds) Hi Steve!!!! :)

The Moog Grandmother in ACTION! I am using preset
Delay setting L3 at 49% on the ART Multi Verb LT.
Out there tripping beyond the stars... EPIC SYNTH!!!
This is me late night tweaking, no other FX used
but the ART Multi Verb LT then into Ableton LIVE.

Thank you for watching!"
