Minimoog Voyager XL Compilation - Andy Barrow

YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Jul 6, 2011

"The Minimoog Voyager XL - What can I tell you about this Synth? I could go on for hours, however, you may get drooled on, so I shall refrain from that. This Video is just a scratch on the surface of what this excellent Synth can do. It contains 3 pieces of Music, one of which is more ambient or experimental (I was just messing around with patch cables and Filters - so experimental is almost right). I cannot give you an unbiased opinion on this Analogue Monster for 2 reasons, One - Its mine and second its a Moog - I cannot begin to tell you how long I have wanted one of these. So before you complain about the price of this synth and its only Monophonic, I hear and understand all of that, the thought did cross my mind and I did even consider a Motif or a G7/8 - I already have a Korg Radias, so I don't want another headache.

Solar Orbiter - Minimoog Voyager XL - Moog Slim Phatty & Korg Radias - Andy Barrow

YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Mar 20, 2012

"Hi Everyone,

This is the final version of the video I uploaded 2 weeks ago "Sneak Preview".

The Minimoog Voyager XL, along with the Moog Slim Phatty and the Korg Radias. I suggest a pair of headphones for this piece for better effect

We start off with a brief intro using the Voyager XL and then the music begins with the Radias (Pads and the Lead Synth part way through the video) and the Moog Slim Phatty being used for the rhythm. I then bring the XL in to play a moody lead lead synth (2 Osc's used, the second used primarily for harmonic content). The Radias takes over later on and then we finish with Moog Slim Phatty and the Voyager XL.

This is a long video and piece of music for me, and one which has taken some time to put together. This is a completed version, but one I think I will revisit at some point. Not entirely happy with the mix.

I hope you enjoy.

Best Wishes

Andy"

YouTube Published on Apr 28, 2012 by MrRidgebackman

"Hi All,

This is for the people that had asked me to do a tutorial on the Korg Radias Step Sequencer. This is the Low quality Version, I will upload the 720 Version soon. Please note - This is a Very Basic - I say again. Very Basic Tutorial on Step Sequencing and Creating a sound that has Velocity Sensitivity effected by the Step Sequencer causing the Filter (EG1) on the Radias to change the way the notes are played.

Hope you enjoy

Best Regards

Andy"

"Lament - For those not here" - Animoog and Minimoog Voyager XL

Published on Oct 16, 2012 by MrRidgebackman

"Something melodic and melancholy for you...and short.

Best listened to under headphones.

A sketch piece played on the Animoog and Voyager XL. Just 3 tracks played and recorded in Logic Pro 9. The pad sounds are the Animoog, Lead synth Minimoog Voyager XL using one of my own patches and then the Bass is the Voyager XL

Pictures are of my reformatted Home Studio, finally get to have the synths in one place - almost. I just need another stand for the MC505, Slim Phatty and the Jen SX1000.

Moog Voyager XL, Roland MC505 and JEN SX1000 and Korg Radias Live

YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Aug 8, 2011

"All music performed live into a Behringer X2442USB 24 Channel Mixer into Cubase. First live performance and featuring my Oldest Synth the JEN SX1000 (approximately 30 years old). The Voyager XL is connected via MIDI to the Roland MC505 via Midi Out to the In on the MC. JEN is a standalone and no MIDI, no memory, just Pots to twiddle. The Radias is standalone in this piece also. The Keyboard not being used is the Kawai K4 which I picked up cheap from eBay. All the Synths connected tot he Behringer Xenyx X2442USB with compression being applied to the JEN and the Radias, all but the MC Groovebox have some Echo and Reverb (Program 15 on the Mixer).

The Audio is recorded Live as is the video, except I had to manually sync the vid to the audio - Sony HD camcorder appears not to to be able to operate as an external camera. Working in iMovie is probably not the best package to try and sync video and Audio...I think I managed to get away with it...maybe. The thumbs up at the end was for my purpose. and a thank you to all for watching.

Since doing this, I have a few other options for this piece - no title as yet, but I feel it needs some catchy Vocoding to be thrown in.

The Touch panel works great on the Voyager XL and you will see me trying (in vain) moving to one side, hoping the camera picked it up...Fail.

Also - one thing to note, when playing live, the Wood on the Moog is not playable but does allow your fingers to slip off and hit that top C...if you're lucky.

Sorry for the view of my Back and an ill fitting T-Shirt. Trust me, when I do turn round, the Minimoog wins in the Beauty contest, i definitely have a face for Radio.... :-)"
