Introducing The Bastl Midilooper

Bastl Instruments

Price excluding tax: 239€ - comes to $283.44. Pics with press release below.

"Midilooper is a device that listens to MIDI messages (control information about notes, dynamics and other parameters) and loops them in a similar way an audio looper would loop pieces of audio. However, loops of MIDI messages remain in the control domain, which means a lot of other processes can happen on top of them - timbre modulation, envelope adjustments etc.

"Bastl is more than excited to announce the Midilooper! Rather than being a sequencer, it is a device inspired by audio looper style workflow with a really fast, performative, single gesture interface.
Looping is a blazing fast way of music making and looping in the control signal domain is a key feature that allows for all remaining parameters of your device to be tweaked and modulated on top of the looped sequence... or MIDI CC looped!

Midilooper has been in development for over 3 years and several iterations of the control interface and connectivity have been extensively tested within the context of a live performance. It has the ability to bring a live setup or a studio to new life and make you explore your gear in a refreshing, hands–on manner.
Midilooper can be synchronised to MIDI or analog clock and it can also run on its own (tap tempo/free running). It has 3 voices that can each be assigned to a different MIDI channel, allowing it to control and loop 3 individual units of gear. Each voice can be individually recorded, muted, overdubbed, or cleared.

Midilooper also offers some basic processing of the recorded information: transposition, velocity locking and shifting, quantisation, shuffle, humanisation (random variations of velocity), adjusting the length of the loop, or doubling and halving of playback speed.

In addition, it features CV and trigger inputs for seamless integration with modular synths: reset, retrigger, velocity, and transpose. It can also be controlled with foot pedals.

Stay tuned to Bastl Instruments YouTube channel for more walkthrough videos. Price excluding tax: 239€

SYNTH VS SYNTH -- Moog SUB 37 or Moog Grandmother?

Noir Et Blanc Vie

"First off this is NOT a review, this is a somewhat chronicle of my time owning both.
So here we go (Mario 64 voice) it takes TIME to AKCHEWELY learn and give a real take on a piece. So a year later here it is, and keep in mind, I'm a human, I can't really give an "objective" opinion, if you want that read both user manuals and tell yourself which is better that's the only way objective opinions on creative pieces work LOL.

That said, I hope my take as a person who has had tons of experience with the Little Phatty, Slim Phatty, Minitaur, Mother-32 brings some clarity."

Some great outdoor shots.

"This synth was designed with deep, dirty, growley bass in mind. The appeal of this fully analog, high-end synth is its size and portability. It fits anywhere, in tight set-ups, and is easy to haul around."

Sternfunkeln by Moognase

A new release from supporting member, Moognase.

Moognase – Sternfunkeln, recorded 2020

About Moognase:

The project Moognase was created in early 2000 and has been my main electronic project ever since. It is centered around Moog synthesizers of many kinds, for example the Rogue, Prodigy, Micromoog, Voyager, Minitaur, Sub Phatty and, most recently, Grandmother. I focus on one synth only when I'm recording.

Moog Subsequent 25 Synthesizer Hands-On Demo

Published on Jan 26, 2020 Synthtopia

"At the 2020 NAMM Show, Moog introduced the Subsequent 25, a portable paraphonic analog synthesizer, based on their Sub Phatty sound engine.

The new synth builds on the Sub Phatty analog synth, but implements upgraded sonic modifications and functional improvements. The Subsequent 25 also builds on the Sub Phatty by upgrading to wood side pieces, implementing the paraphonic functionality of Duo Mode and featuring the Subsequent series of user-requested performance adjustments

We talked with Moog product specialist Lisa Bella Donna, who gave us a quick demo of the Subsequent 25 and its new features."

Moog Subsequent 25 2-Note Paraphonic Synthesizer

Published on Jan 24, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Moog's Subsequent 25 takes the form factor of the Sub Phatty and updates it with the sonic flavor of the Subsequent 37. Now with a high-headroom mixer, improved drive, and optional paraphonic operation, the Subsequent 25 covers far more ground than its predecessor.

The Subsequent 25 is great for monstrous bass lines and leads, with all the sonic depth and range one would expect from a Moog monosynth. Optional two-note paraphonic operation breaks it out of these roles and into entirely new territory—combined with the integrated Multidrive, Ladder Filter, and rich internal modulation, the Subsequent 25 can create a huge range of sounds. Coupled with its small footprint and ease of DAW integration, this makes the Subsequent 25 a perfect addition to nearly any performance or production environment.

Moog Subsequent 25 | Flying Lotus + Julian House | Building Your World

Published on Jan 16, 2020 Moog Music Inc

"To illuminate the enhanced sonic vocabulary of the new Subsequent 25 synthesizer, Moog Music collaborated with prolific producer Flying Lotus and renowned graphic designer Julian House. The resulting film, Building Your World, animated by House and scored by Flying Lotus using the Subsequent 25, invites the viewer to slip into the mysterious and magical sci-fi world of analog circuits and waveforms.

Building Your World brings the journey from Sub Phatty to Subsequent 25 full circle, evoking 2013’s New Machine For Living, the animated film scored by Flying Lotus to celebrate the release of the original Sub Phatty synthesizer.

The Subsequent 25 is a new 2-note paraphonic analog synthesizer that implements upgraded sonic modifications and functional improvements from the Subsequent series of instruments. It builds on the success of the Sub Phatty by implementing the ultra-popular paraphonic functionality of Duo Mode, upgrading to wood side pieces, and featuring familiar Subsequent series of user-requested performance adjustments."

First revealed here, some pics and additional details are in.

MSRP $949.00 / $849.00 Street

"Subsequent 25 is a new compact analog synthesizer that builds on the success of the award-winning Sub Phatty by implementing the ultra-popular paraphonic functionality of Duo Mode, upgrading to wood side pieces, and featuring the already-beloved Subsequent series improvements:

Twice the headroom for access to a new range of classic clean tones in mono and duo modes

Reshaped gain staging in the Ladder Filter to boost harmonic saturation and analog compression, resulting in an overall richer low end

Re-tuned Multidrive circuit that extends well beyond the original grit and growl of the Sub Phatty

Brand new presets that have been optimized to take full advantage of the Subsequent 25’s upgraded circuitry

Upgraded keybed for improved playability

New high-powered headphone amplifier strong enough to drive the most demanding headphones

Free Editor/Librarian software for Windows and Mac (plug-in or standalone)

In the spirit of continuous improvement, Moog is setting a new standard: the Subsequent 25. Moog is excited to incorporate artist feedback into the evolution of our instruments to further inspire the creative community."

"Moog Sub Phatty in immaculate condition with heavy duty aluminium flight case. An awesome sounding mono synth with patch memory. Comes with quick guide, full manual and power lead.

The flight case has been repurposed from an army tool case with DIY adjustments to some of the interior foam. It does a great job and is a nice snug fit that is extremely road worthy (even has a lock). There are some stickers on the lid that could easily be removed if necessary."
