Moog Music Forum

From Songfacts.com:

"Yes Keyboardist Rick Wakeman plays the Moog synthesizer on this song. It was unusual for a hard rock band to use a Moog back then, which was thought to be a only a "Progressive" instrument." It's a minimoog!

Sounds very reminiscent of Billy Preston's work with the Arp Pro Soloist. Shouldn't be too difficult to create a close approximation on a Voyager: Single oscillator into resonant low pass filter. Pro Soloist filter may have been 2 pole (12db/oct) as opposed to Voyager's 4 pole. Add some fast vibrato...

I don't really understand what you mean by 'keyboardy'. The vast majority of integrated mono synths do have a keyboard. A keyboard is just a controller and, as a controller, the keyboard on the Odyssey is a little one dimensional. It triggers a sound and that's about it. The keyboard controller on t...

The Arp is a great sound effects machine. It's modulation capabilities are really nice. If this was a choice between a mid 70's Minimoog and a Mk. 2 Arp Odyssey and your main interest was in creating sound effects, then I would most certainly recommend the Odyssey. But a 21st century Voyager is ligh...

My first synth was an Arp Odyssey Mk.2. I currently own a Moog Voyager and have spent quite a bit of time recreating Arp sounds on my Moog. They're very, very similar instruments but I would give the edge to the Moog for the following reasons: It has an extra VCO, 2 full ADSR envelope generators, th...

Really?? Two days and nothing??

Can you post an audio clip of the sound your curious about emulating? Working with the title alone: "Analog" OK, we can do that. "Dark" sounds like a function of filtering. "Square" Square wave(s), I presume. Got those. So, yeah (probably) albeit, monophonically. Best, ...

What?!
No Drum MAchine?!?!

Very tasty timbres!

Best,

I've always loved the look of the Moog model 15 synthesizer. When I started my dotcom system I based it on the capabilities of the model 15. If you live in the US you're going to get more bang for your buck with a dotcom system. What you'd pay for the COTK Model 15 (plus the cost of shipping, import...

Jauntimus ~ I don't know for certain whether the MG-1 uses an 'S' (shorting) trigger or not (sure sounds like it though from your description) but the Roland gear definitely uses the more 'standard' positive going trigger. There shouldn't be any problem with patching between a modern Moog (which no...
