Moog Music Forum

The most important development in synthesis since 1964.

Uh... yep!

Marc, your passion is always inspiring. Although, according to the Bob Moog Timeline on the moogmusic site says Big Briar was founded in 77. Typically, I'd trust your word. Could it be a misprint? Well, that is what they say. However, I work for the Bob Moog Foundation, and knowing this stuff is my...

Actually, the first polyphonic synthesizer was the Telharmonium. The first all-electronic polyphonic keyboard may have been a design described by Lee De Forest in 1915: The Audion Piano. One of the first all-electronic polyphonic synthesis keyboards had to be Harald Bode's "Warbo Formant Organ&...

Also: Electronic Music started long before even those guys. You're going to have to head back to at least 1906.

People have different perceptions of tone, and sometimes it's hard to reconcile them. I've always felt that the Phatty is a very pointed sound... gritty, and hard. The Sub Phatty, from my experience, was absolutely nothing like a Phatty in sound. My initial experience of it at NAMM was one where it ...

Hey, thanks a lot, you guys. I really appreciate the fact that you've watched them, and especially your kind words.

I put a lot of time and effort into them without recompense. It really makes it worthwhile when people appreciate it!

Marc, as usual, a mini series of comprehensive and in depth look at the Sub Phatty. I always appreciate your reviews, and your honesty. Like the fact that you've mentioned that you were trying out a prototype, that could explain why sometimes some notes didn't sound on the keyboard (like the lower ...

If you havent heard the AutomaticGainsay videos on Youtube please go check them out. I would put the link up but I'm at work and youtube is blocked lol the SubPhatty sounds HUGE! It has tons of mod capabilities and "Under the Hood" features! I believe these are the best demo videos out ri...

Arpeggiator. Hmm. Well, don't you have hands or a sequencer for that sort of thing?

Soon, the demos I've done will be uploaded. Marc, is this like "Soon the 4th Minibrute video will be uploaded" or is this falling in the Blizzard* category of "Soon" :) * For non-gamers, Blizzard makes videogames like Diablo and World of Warcraft and their 2 standard responses a...

It's not about whether you should get a Moog or not. And, it's not like there is one thing called "a Moog." You should get a Moog if you play a Moog and it suits your tastes and intentions. That's all there is to it. You can consider that many keyboard-based musicians find Moogs to have an...

The Sub Phatty has some unique applications for a modern Moog.
The one I had was a prototype, so it may not be exactly what the production model will be, but it had a distinctly different sound.
Soon, the demos I've done will be uploaded.

I gotta say... sometimes I wonder why some of you are interested in Moogs. DESPITE its extremely stable oscillators, the Sub Phatty has a great tone. Why do I say "despite?" Because you don't want stable oscillators. The hassle involved in tuning an oscillator is WELL worth the benefit... ...

Gee, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Yeah, you're right.
