I Feel Love - cover on SCI Pro One and Korg ESX


Published on Jan 8, 2013 Babyblue57·48 videos

"Electronic epiphany of Giorgio Moroder/ Donna Summer's I Feel Love perfomed on:

Sequential Circuits Pro One ( sequenced bass line) internal sequencer synced & triggered from Korg ESX audio out. ProOne out sent thru a Boss Chorus CE2B, Boss Flanger FB2, Boss Digital Delay DD7 and finally a Boss Digital Reverb RV5 pedal fx.
Korg ESX drum sequence & alt bass line.
Emu Emax 1 loaded with own Eminent 310 string sample thru an EHX Small Stone phaser pedal.

There were no keyboard perfomances, just the occasional pressing of a button."

Update on Moog Post Below.

I added some notes/speculation to the post below. Look for the red update.

First Look at Moog's New Analog Synth by Herb Deutsch

NAMM 2013: NEXT FROM MOOG...

Published on Jan 9, 2013 MoogMusicInc·221 videos

"During Moogfest 2012, Synth Pioneer and collaborator of Bob Moog, Professor Herb Deutsch, visited the Moog Machine Shop to explore Moog's next generation analog synthesizer while in it's research & design phase.

Since the inception of the synthesizer, Bob Moog tested his ideas, instruments, and sounds with musicians and colleagues, most notably Wendy Carlos and Herb Deutsch on the Moog Modular systems.

This spirit of collaboration continues at the Moog factory to this day and is essential to our work. It is a key part of the product development process, as it furthers our ideas and helps us shape better tools for musicians."

Update: Some notes/analysis (I may add to this so check back and of course, feel free to add yours in the comments): It sounds aggressive. Note the Multidrive - pre-filter gain in addition to the overload on the Little Phatty. Also pointed out are the sub oscillator and noise generator.

It looks tiny!  It will be interesting to see how it is ultimately packaged.  The one Herb is playing in this video has a two octave keyboard and is smaller than the Phatty. A new mini Mini? A new Prodigy?

Note he never touches the left panel. On the right the large knob is obviously the filter cutoff knob. Bottom right of it is the Multidrive. I'm guessing the bottom left would either be resonance or possibly a separate gain knob for the Multidrive? The center knob to the left appears to be the sub oscillator. To the right you can clearly see what looks like two ADSRs and a Volume knob. Possibly a separate headphone volume knob? The bottom left knob on the board is the noise generator and to the right of it (the bottom left of the two adjacent knobs) I'm guessing is Filter Env amount as it adjusts the filter amount as he turns it.  What's the knob to its right?  A separate Res Env amount?  That would interesting.

As for the left board, there are three switch type knobs in the top row.  I'm guessing one selects the oscillator for the corresponding knobs, one for oscillator waveform, and one for octave pitch.   What's not clear though is if this is a one osc plus sub or multi-osc plus sub synth.  I only hear one osc plus sub.  You don't hear the typical beating between oscillators, but then Herb mentions "stable oscillators" in the plural. The knob above and below the sub oscillator knobs are likely oscillator levels.  The bottom row on the left looks like they could be a pitch envelope.   Finally, a knob for audio in and the last two knobs for an LFO?

As for sound, my initial impression was that this sounds aggressive. More so than my Voyager. Similar to the Minitaur (see my review), but drier sounding for some reason. I'm guessing it's just the patch he's playing, but we'll see. To date, I'd say the Voyager, Phatty series, and to a large extent, the Minitaur all have the same tonal quality. They have that creamy analog Minimoog feel to them. It will be interesting to see if this synth can go in another direction. The first obvious thought would be Arturia's Minibrute. Herb doesn't make a point to call out a completely new direction for the Moog sound though. His message is the classic Moog filter sound with new Multidrive and Noise.
