have seen numan every year since 1979, if i get any info i will let you know,

Wow, that's dedication!
I've only seen him the once. The Melbourne show was the first time he'd played here since 1980. So I don't get the opportunity that often, as I (sadly) wasn't born when he was in his android ...

thank you both and everyone else that replied for your help and suggestions

Alright, I got a reply!
So hopefully this will at least get you the basic sound.

All of the oscillators are square waves (16')
Cutoff is at 10:00 (on a minimoog, not sure what this equates too, but you can probably figure it out by ear)
No resonance
Contour is at 1:00 (again, on a D)
Envelopes ...

Numan definitely used an mxr phase90 around that era, so that might be a good alternative to the Electric Mistress.

In the youtube video i think can see that one of the oscillators is set to 32' and he (Neuman, not Numan) switches it in part-way through.
thank you so much for your time and effort ...

I got a Nord Lead 2X two years ago, and ever since I got my Moog one year ago, I never play the thing. I bought it for $1000, and I figured I could sell it for $800-900, which would equate to a lot of other synth stuff I'm interested in (a sequencer and a drum machine particularly). It just ...

Alright, I've sent him a message, so fingers crossed for a reply!
Engineers is great, I don't own the Living Ornaments albums, so I can't actually compare, but I really enjoy it! The cover, with Numan behind 2 model Ds is one of my favourite pictures of the good man. Being an "electro-god" you don ...

I've seen a few vids on youtube of the 81 show.
I actually found a cd the other day of "Gary Numan: Engineers" which is a rare live cd released 2 or so years ago of GN performing in Sydney in 1980. It's a great listen that's for sure. I believe there were only 3000 printed, so I think I got lucky ...

How about calling it the Moog MegaMoog?


Back when the Poly/Multi/Micro came out, I had the idea that they could have the NanoMoog. It would just have one key and one knob. You'd buy as many as you needed to play whatever song you wanted :^)

A modular keyboard? AWESOME! Can you imagine, 88 ...

Nuuuumannnn!!!!! Actually i'm seeing the Gaz perform The Pleasure Principle in November (UK tour only). i know exactly the sound you mean.
There's three things you need to do:

1. Go to dubsounds where you'll find: a) Polymoog freaks and b) Numan freaks. The site owner Shaun knows a thing or two ...

I'm a huge Gary Numan fan, I saw him last month in Melbourne. Top bloke. I'd love to find out any information you get on his patches/sounds!
