Moog Music Forum

It depends on how shitty you want to sound. The first recorded example of distortion ("Rumble" by Link Wray) was achieved that way, but I don't see much point in doing it anymore. Especially if you want fuzz. Holes in your speaker will just sound lo-fi, not fuzzy.

The chicken story was hella sad. He reminds me of my Grandpa in so many ways.

What was that one moment when you knew you absolutely had to play synthesizer? Also, if you remember, what was the board that brought it all together? Mine was at an Alabama Jihad show. I had been listening punk rock for a while, but they brought this new element that made it so much better. That el...

I just saw the new Moog Movie, and wow. Dr. Moog is so badass. The all-original soundtrack is great, and that chick that plays the theremin to sound like an upright bass blew my mind. That movie is great. All the bonus footage, etc. is great too. I especially like that the beginning credits were ill...

yeah, but whatever you do don't get that Ibanez Tonelok fuzz pedal. It's awful and the switch will crap out just like all other toneloks.

I've got a russian muff in my house but it's busted. There is some black wire that isn't connected to anything, but I don't know where it goes.

According to AP magazine (albiet they have a high chance of being wrong) it is home-made.

how osc's does the rougue have?

I was just about to say that. Upon listening to my copy of Abbey Road, I noticed quite a few synth parts. Cool to know they were all moogs. I need a copy of Electric Sounds.

I personally am a huge advocate of the Roland HS-60 as first synth. It IS a Roland Juno-106 with the inclusion of built-in speakers. They sell for way less than 106s because no-one knows about them. Everyone says they are too heavy for gigging, but they are full of crap. Go ahead and get a Casio VL-...

More Casio VL-1s. Maybe an SK-1. Budget synths are not under 1000 dollars. They under 200. Roland JX-8P. Have you played that Novation K-Station? I was very impressed for the price.

Barenaked ladies are good. I can respect that he uses one because, if I'm not mistaken (mind you I've seen them in concert, but it's been a while), he has a relatively sparse setup, working to achieve the sounds he wants with out a huge keyboard arsenal. The guy in Maroon 5 takes loads of huge beefy...

I may be biased because I think they suck but using something as small/incredible-on-it's-own as a master midi controller is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Also, what kind of big shot uses a MicroKorg? They are cool, and I do like them alot, and they are great for people on budget (myself), but ...

You know if moog made a stand it would cost alot. I think someone else should make it. What I think is needed is a folding H-frame stand so you can make it sitting hight without causing the stand to be so wide as to not fit a standard monosynth, like an X-frame.

I think he means a heavily used voyager (ie- lots of roadwear, nicks and scrapes, missing knob caps). You know, stuff that would actually make it less expensive while still keeping the sound the same.

i say just get a casio vl-1 and let your imagination run wild.
