This is crazy to see. I used to build Moog semi modular synths (Mother-32, DFAM, etc.) before they sold overseas (technically the modular is still made stateside but not many of us kept our jobs). Moog was releasing miss after miss due to some pretty incompetent management decisions and the company was nosediving. It's nice to see them release something good again even if they're still charging "Made int he USA" prices for products that aren't.
@henryhill92Ай бұрын
What were those misses? I know there were problems with the One, but the the Grandmother, DFAM and Matriarch were all pretty successful right? So there's what... the Subharmonicon and the software?
@andycook7220Ай бұрын
@@henryhill92 Even then I'd say the Subharmonicon is one of the most interesting, unique synths in the past decade. It's difficult to understand and use, and tricky to get really good results, but when you do get something it's unlike anything else out there, and for that reason alone I'd say its a really good synth. I can't think of any "misses" really either. Pricing is rough, but it always has been with MOOG.
@mikegeary8056Ай бұрын
The Moog One was a pretty big mess up. Lots of problems for something so expensive.
@manweilermusicАй бұрын
@@andycook7220 I 100% agree that the Subharmonicon is a STELLAR synth... and actually think the basic to medium Subharmonicon patching is pretty easy to understand... I think it is much more intuitive with everything visible than modules like Stages .. or marbles with a lot of hidden functions and color coded leds needed to open up the module.. (and those are not that bad) .... especially if you learn one block of it at a time. It gets very powerful when you pair it with external gear or patch bay.........I think a lot of people who burn out on it in confusion try to do everything at once, and get nothing past a four note sequencer. I have been patching for 20 years, so this is a bit like a native language to me at this point, someone newer to the space may very much hit brick walls much quicker. but- the DEPTH that the subQ can hit. WOWOWOW!
@andycook7220Ай бұрын

The sequencer is a Turing Machine. If you want to try that style of sequencer without spending 600 bucks; 2hp makes a Turing Machine module. I use the 2hp TM with an Erica Synths Pico Quant. I think I need a second TM for controlling filter cutoff.
@KNHSynthsАй бұрын
That's right. IMHO the best is an Ornament & Crime with Phazerville firmware. You can use at the same time a TM with quantization and VCO, LFO or even mini drumkit on the other side. And there are lots of Shift Registers applets you can chose, or Euclidean rhythm generators. But for people who are not in the modular game, this Moog can seem fantastic (but it just seems).
@snorrevonflakeАй бұрын

I think the community that understands and can cogently explain the usefulness of AI as a creative tool is the synth nerds. They don't abuse presets (though that can be fun) and they understand that having a thing that can function on its own in specified, controllable parameters is like having an extra organ you can automate to help you create.

The way that you can pick up almost any instrument, and make it sound like you've spent all your life mastering it, is something that only a handful of people are able to do.
