Minimoog Uncommon Sounds

A friend of mine sent this video to me a long time ago. I just came across it again. It sort of explains how great this little beast is. :wink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agFgMYp97yY

Really nice video. Thanks for sharing.

No offense, but I can’t stand that video. That’s not what a model D sounds like, or only after it’s been eviscerated by digital processing. At least he could have had the real sound of the mini mixed in with the effects. But it still sounds better than any digital synth I have heard.

None taken, But that was the whole point of the video to show The Uncommon Sounds. :smiley:

Yes I too love the standard Minimoog sound. Who doesn’t.

Thanks for posting this vid!

I agree, there are hundreds of audio and video recordings of the “stereotypical” Minimoog sound. Of course we love those Jan Hammer/Chick Corea/whatever screaming leads, P-Funk basses, etc. But it’s great to hear something different for a change.

That’s one thing I love about synthesizers - they give you the opportunity to create original sounds if you truly desire it. Sure, it’s fun to copy our heroes but some of us actually want to find our own sounds.

Pretty cool actually. Liked the carillon-like sounds in the beginning using audio rate FM to filter. I like the stereotypical minimoog sound as much as everybody but always get giddy when I hear something that I didn’t know could be done on a minimoog. I get a lot of atypical sounds on my Memorymoog.

There’s at least one other “uncommon” minimoog on YT.
