Moog ONE vs Arturia PolyBrute // The Definitive Comparison

video upload by Starsky Carr

"https://patreon.com/starskycarr
I say definitive.. there's another on the way!!

A look at the Moog One and the Arturia PolyBrute together. They're both superbly flexible VCO polysynths with dual analog filters per voice - a ladder filter and a state variable.

The Moog ONE here has 16 voices and the PolyBrute has 6, so there are differences in what you can do when stacking voices plus lots of other differences. BUT... the Mog One really did remind me of my PolyBrute when I first tried it in @Dan Stirling studio.

And they're both capable of some simply stunning sounds.

Other main differences are:
3 oscillators per voice vs 2
Eventide Effects on the Moog
Effects are Mod destinations on the Arturia
Eventide Has CV connectivity
Arturia can morph between tones.

... so lots of differences but enough similarities I thought to put them together.

Thanks to Dan for lending me this one:

"I've been seriously enjoying the Modwave while I've had it, and I've been meaning to use the Octatrack more often. Really got into the groove with this setup today and created this jam.

🍃The Approaching Stillness🌳 ~ TE OP-1 Field Ambient

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"Hey! 🌤

Here's another piece I created on the OP-1 Field in the first few weeks of ownership, and before having to charge the battery for the 1st time! 🌿

For this track I used the cassette tape (porta simulation) 📼 I found it a bit tricky to balance distortion and grit with hiss and input level. This track is fairly hissy on full range systems, but it still sounds very nice. I may end up preferring the vintage 4 track as a compromise between lo-fi and fidelity.

I have enjoyed messing with the various sequencers and the modulation section. This track has a healthy dose of the mother reverb, but the master effect is the mono delay, which in this track is set to repeat many times. As it's coming up in the center position it almost adds a 5th sound source to the 4 tracks. 🔉

This piece is coming off the OP-1 as a mix. I stored the 4 tracks in case I need them later, but essentially just mastered the mix after recording it into my DAW through the analogue listed below. The piece is as performed in this case, with no edits. I want to see what the OP-1 field alone is capable of 🧨

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Teenage Engineering OPZ. Is this compact multimedia synthesizer and sequencer with visualization options based on vj footage and the unity engine an actual improvement over its older sibling, the Teenage Engineering OP-1? Does the implementation von iOS devices like an iPhone or iPad actually work?

Thanks to Synth Repair Wizard Thomas for lending me his OP-Z and bringing old stuff back on track:

"Unique piece of sound art; this noise machine features paper circuit, Fourses, designed by Peter B.

8% of the profits from this sale will be sent to Peter B as donation/thank you for use of his paper circuits.

104 brass sandrodes and one copper listener node, internal speaker switched off by 1/4” out, powered by 9v battery or 12vdc wall wart (not included), 8 white LED under Apophylite crystal points – one with some Stilbite, 8 knobs, walnut, purple heart and birch, acrylic bottom – protected by rubber feet.

Note, first three photos use flash, which bounces off the beeswax and olive oil used to seal the wood. This makes it appear brighter and redder. Under more normal light, the wood looks darker and more muted. Pics w/o flash give a little better idea, but probably sunlight would be best. Anyways, i'll leave that to you."
