Moog 16 Channel Vocoder Processing Videos

Published on Apr 2, 2020 Moog Music Inc

PLAYLIST:

1. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | Counting Sample Processing

In this composition, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a microphone, while the Moog IIIp modular synthesizer acts as the carrier signal. A Eurorack modular system provides melodic sequencing for the IIIp, as well as modulation sources for some of the vocoder’s synthesizer inputs while in external patch mode. Two Moog DFAMs handle rhythmic accompaniment to round out the arrangement.

2. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | IIIp and Vocal Processing

In this composition, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a microphone, while the Moog IIIp modular synthesizer acts as the carrier signal. A Eurorack modular system provides melodic sequencing for the IIIp, as well as modulation sources for some of the vocoder’s synthesizer inputs while in external patch mode. Two Moog DFAMs handle rhythmic accompaniment to round out the arrangement.

3. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | MPC Breakbeat Processing

In this example, an Akai MPC1000 sends a breakbeat sample to the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input. A Moog Matriarch serves as the carrier input. The Matriarch is operating in four voice mode, and the keyboard is used to provide the chordal sequence used to transform the breakbeat.

4. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | 808 Processing

In this composition, rather than the typical microphone, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a Roland TR-808 drum machine. A Eurorack modular system provides the chordal content for the vocoder’s carrier input, as well as all the drums and percussion. The external patch functionality on the vocoder is being used to create two distinct timbres, while the rear Patch Select input jack receives gate signals from a Eurorack sequencer to toggle back and forth between the two timbres. The vocoder’s output is being processed by a Roland RE-150 Space Echo and OTO BAM for a bit of warm tape delay and reverb. Finally, a Moog Mother-32 provides a rich ostinato bassline to tie everything together.

Pure 💧 (Moog - Matriarch // Waldorf - M) - sequenced by the Matriarch's SEQ, no external FX.

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Do these 2 astounding synths need external effects to sound good? Let's hear the pure sound of the Moog - Matriarch and Waldorf - M! (some EQ/comp were used only for mixing purposes).

I used the Matriarch's internal sequencer to trigger the M which was playing in its 4-part multi-timbral mode. I faded in each of the parts (1 of the 4 parts also had the M's arpeggiator active on it).
I also used the Matriarch's internal analog stereo delay, which was modulated by 1 of the Matriarch's LFO as seen by the patching on the video."

Moog Matriarch: 50 Poly (Paraphonic) Patches. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

https://antonanru.sellfy.store/moog/

"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular synth Moog Matriarch.

'Polychrome' is a collection of 50 paraphonic presets that includes vintage strings, lo-fi keys, rich pads, warm stabs/chords, bright leads, dark drones, generative-style and FX-like timbres. The presets vary greatly from the point of view of complexity: some are simpler and will work in any track and genre, some are experimental and will make your tracks sound unique.

The soundset is suitable for ambient, electronica, techno, minimal, deep, house, progressive, trance, psy, lounge, chill out, downtempo, IDM, industrial, breaks, drum'n'bass and others.

Matriarch suggests great tools for stereo sound: two filters, independent VCAs, BBD Delay. I modulated them a lot to create wide and beautiful patches, that can be hardly recreated on other hardware (especially analog) synths. Matriarch has an absolutely fantastic feature set and I tried to intensively use it to create exclusive timbres.

The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters worth tweaking during the playback, how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn many things about the synth and discover its true depth.

Each patch has an audio example, it helps to understand how a patch is supposed to sound. No external effects on Matriarch, built-in BBD Delay only.

"Re-Introducing Werkstatt-01

Werkstatt-01 is a patchable and compact analog synthesizer. A gateway to the expansive world of analog synthesis, the instrument is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring classic Moog sound and circuitry through the unique, hands-on experience of a DIY synthesizer project. This affordable, easy-to-assemble kit requires no prior electronics experience and is a perfect afternoon (or Christmas morning) project.

The straightforward simplicity of Werkstatt-01’s design makes it an ideal jumping-off point to discover a limitless new world of analog sound design, and the included 3.5mm CV Expander makes it a no-brainer for everyone wishing to integrate the iconic Moog sound into their music. The 9" by 6" musical machine may be small, but the raw power and spectrum of the sound it produces is immense.

From Musical Exploration to Experimental Education

First introduced at Moogfest 2014 as part of the event’s Engineering Workshop, the Werkstatt-01 analog synthesizer has been admired as an essential introductory synth, a powerful standalone instrument, and an enhancement to any integrated electronic music ecosystem. Based on classic Moog circuitry, Werkstatt-01 was created to provide a hands-on understanding of how analog synthesizers work and encourage experimentation with sound through patching and interconnectivity.

The research and design that went into Werkstatt-01’s circuits, and the demand for more semi-modular exploratory analog instruments after its initial release, ultimately led to the development of some of today’s most expressive sound design machines: Mother-32, DFAM, Grandmother, Matriarch, and Subharmonicon.

More than a musical instrument, Werkstatt-01 has also served as an interactive educational tool in STEM curricula. The compact, versatile synthesizer has been the heart of the Georgia Tech Hackathon, a weekend-long competition that takes place each February at the Atlanta university’s Center for Music Technology, for six years and counting. The 2021 Georgia Tech Hackathon will be held virtually; see details here.

The easily mod-able analog synth kit has also proven to be a perfect learning ground for DIY modifications and the science of sound. This page of our website features a series of instructional videos to walk you through how to expand your instrument through breadboarding and arduino integration.

Classic Moog Sound & Circuitry

Werkstatt-01’s 100% analog circuits deliver the classic soul and futuristic sound Moog synthesizers are known for. Featuring a full-range analog oscillator with selectable waveforms for powerful sound and the legendary Moog Ladder Filter for precision harmonic sculpting, this instrument covers a vast expanse of sonic territory. Adding movement and modulation is as simple as engaging Werkstatt-01’s analog LFO circuit to simulate the motion of gently breathing waves, or crank up the LFO speed and summon cosmic laser beams. A two-stage analog envelope generator with sustain gives you control to shape dynamics, dialing in everything from lush electronic string swells to punchy basslines and organic percussion hits—and everything in between.

The included CV Expander allows you to enter the endless realms of modular synthesis, where new connections can be made and original sounds are unlocked. Patching inputs and outputs together from the 12 jacks of the 3.5mm patch bay will reconfigure Werkstatt-01’s circuits to create new signal paths and empower new sonic explorations. The included CV Expander also makes it easy to connect Werkstatt-01 to other Moog semi-modular synthesizers, Eurorack systems, or drum machines, enhancing any configuration with powerful analog sound."

Moog Subharmonicon and Matriarch in a Jam :: [Synth Recipe #74]

syncworm

"Ingredients:
– Moog Subharmonicon
– Moog Matriarch
– Elektron Digitakt

– Empress Reverb


So, what's goig on here?
Digitakt is the master clock and provides drums and some samples. It feeds the midi clock into the Matriarch which has programmed in two sequences (I'm alternating between them during this recipe). It plays mostly chords in a simple sequence. Matriarch and Subharmonicon are synced via CV clock. Subharmonicon runs its own sequencer providing steady bass and some plucking sounds on top. Both Subharmonicon's VCO's are CV controlled by the Matriarch, so a key pressed on the Matriarch changes the pitch of both of the Sub's VCO's keeping everything in tune.

And that's all! Enjoy! :)"

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.

Moog Semi-Modular Synthesizers: Interconnectivity II

Published on Mar 4, 2020 Moog Music Inc

"Four instruments from Moog's semi-modular family of analog synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, and DFAM) connect together in a new exploratory composition.

In this patch, Grandmother serves as a master clock, distributing sync signals to the Matriarch, Mother-32, and DFAM. The patch begins with the Grandmother playing a simple bassline, processed through a DIY J.H. Haible phaser, and one of the Matriarch’s analog delays. The DFAM provides a kick drum pattern to anchor the elements of the song together, while the Mother-32 plays a deep ostinato bass melody. The Matriarch generates the upper register arpeggio in round robin mode, allowing the mixer section to be used creatively to introduce and remove notes in the arpeggiated melody. Finally, the Matriarch is also being utilized to sum the Grandmother’s audio in the VCA section, while the Matriarch’s analog delays are being used separately to provide unique delay effects to the Grandmother and Matriarch separately.

Moog Matriarch With Eurorack Drums, Extra Oscillator And Modulation

Published on Sep 13, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Moog's Matriarch synthesizer sounds great on its own with its four oscillators and stereo filter and delay, but it also has a ton of CV and gate inputs and outputs making it easy to expand with a eurorack modular system. In this video we added a eurorack wavetable oscillator to the Matriarch, synched a drum sequencer to the internal sequencer, and modulated the filter with a Maths.

The eurorack wavetable oscillator we used was an Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda MK3. The Drums consisted of a Winter Modular Eloquencer sequencer and Endorphin.es BLCK_NOIR drum synthesizer. The Make Noise Maths was used for modulation.

Moog Music Announces the Return of the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder

"The Moog 16 Channel Vocoder Returns

After more than 40 years, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder is officially back in production.

Originally introduced in 1978 (and heard most famously on the title track of Giorgio Moroder’s E=MC2), the instrument has been used to transmute vocals, transform synthesizers, and electronically encode sound for decades.

The Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s analog voice circuits, derived from the original schematic, are hand-soldered at the Moog Factory in Asheville, North Carolina to preserve the original instrument’s classic sound."

via Moog Music

"The history of the vocoder is as unique as the sound it produces.

In the 1930s, Bell Labs introduced the technology as a telecommunications device that could deconstruct the most fundamental elements of human speech and then reconstruct a new electronically synthesized voice. During WWII, the US military used this advancement to electronically encode classified audio messages that could be reconstituted on the receiving end.

Over the following decades, music technologies would explore the artistic applications of the vocoder, whose robotic vocal articulations would soon find their way into mainstream music, television, films, and games. The influential sound machine has been used by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Dr. Dre, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and many more.


The Moog 16 Channel Vocoder, originally introduced in 1978 (and heard most famously on the title track of Giorgio Moroder’s E=MC2), has been used to transmute vocals, transform synthesizers, and electronically encode sound for decades.



With the instrument’s reintroduction, Moog Music has gone to great lengths to ensure that this distinct electronic voice carries on. Derived from the original vintage schematic, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s analog voice circuits are hand-soldered at the Moog Factory in Asheville, North Carolina to preserve the original instrument’s classic sound.

Jam askew w/ Moog Matriarch, Launchpad Pro Mk3, Analog Rytm MkII, Roland SH-01a, Peak, Echosystem

Published on Feb 17, 2020 Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by a couple of days alone. It had been too long since I had the Matriarch on the table, and it was great to explore some of its patching to get a five-note, heavily modulated sound. The Matriarch is blissful and rewarding to just sit and tinker with.

Also, I'm still in the honeymoon phase with the Launchpad Pro, and wanted to give it a spin with an all-hardware setup. It continues to be an excellent sequencer with a fast workflow and nice playing surface.

And finally, I picked up the Roland SH-01a recently. I'd been interested in the SH-101 sound for a while, and liked the SH-01a's small footprint and ability to do polyphony. I actually think it sounds incredible and will be a great workhorse in the future.
