funny this is the cheapest moog mono the mini being the most expensive mono yet the only two that have three oscillators

Es una locura el control sobre este sinte enano 😁 Se agradece tu interés de explicarlo en detalle 👋🏻

this machine is so full of surprises its just as much fun to watch someone else playing with it .thanks.

I like the Microfreak "keys" i was disappointed when the minifreak had normal style keys.

From pure VCO sound, Moogs sound fatter, even small and cheap (for Moog) Mavis. PolyBrute does not sound thin, more soft, perfect for 80's sound. Moogs have more in your face presence.

why never use black keys ahah

powerful machine the micromoog! So many combinations and variation experimenting with this one. so much in a compact package--pure raw moog; can't wait to acquire one

Hi i dont know why but i dont have this option in my Arturia Minifreak the last one is HARM.Can you help me with this ?

a juno is just made for wide padsounds with chorus, nothing else please

There's an aspect to Dr. Moog's modular synthesizers you mention here that I don't understand, and it's this question of polyphony with multiple keyboards. The basic Moog IIIc system had 9 oscillators from 3 banks, but only a single output. That much I know. But, you mention that the synthesizer can be controlled via multiple keyboards. So in theory, the IIIc system could play a triad if three keyboards were connected, each playing one note. If so, does that truly make this a monophonic synthesizer? Is it a 3-voice synthesizer, or is it 3 monophonic synthesizers combined in one chasse, with a single output? I understand that it's not a 3 voice synthesizer in the sense that there is no digital scanning keyboard or voice allocation system, but nevertheless the oscillators are able to play pitches independent of each other, correct? Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong, but it seems like in theory, if you kept adding oscillators to your modular system, you could have played as many notes as you wanted, providing you had an oscillator module and a keyboard for each note. The keyboards are all monophonic, but the synthesizer itself, to me, appears to be capable of polyphony. Is this wrong? It's kind of hard for me to wrap my mind around!

If we dont call it freakaphonic it will be a missed opportunity

thanks 😊

I like you video, but regatdless youtube it was impossible to whatch it. So thanks, minus one.

Cool story Bro.

The Volcas have been very influential, making affordable hardware synths for the masses. We're still getting new Volca models 10 years later, Roland's portable Aira synths are also inspired by Volcas (Rolca?) and Behringers Mini and micro synths also play homage to the Volca series (I have a Bolca VS Mini, it's great!)

Thanks for explaining the jacks above the mixer channels. The OG 2600 manual doesn't even mention them. Basically they turn the mixer sliders into something like the sliders in the voltage processor section, only not inverted. I just need to drill that into my head. :)

hi, who knows how to change step state from on to tie in step mode editing?

Dear Marc, when do you have the new ARTURIA PolyBrute 12 under your fingers? Warm regards Andreas

Funky analog arpeggiator. I love the step type, to break straight count monotony. I would definitely work up a unique sound (like you have), and then run it through my external guitar pedals. I'm getting one. Thanks for the informative demo!

I see synths turning into guitars and im not into it. Guitar players have a roadmap; get lessons, practice covering other people’s music etc. synthesists have to form their own style over years of learning and lots of isolation, I think the lack of community kept it special. The guitar route is essentially creative conformity (tell me what to do), synths have always been the opposite. Im pretty sure the “content” and “ affiliate” world might be at fault.

Great video. That's was really helpful to me!

He has finally collected all the RINGS!!!

Not to understand sry

My arpeggiator does not work, something I am doing wrong

Wow. I would want it for Dick Hyman.

supersaw is 7 sawtooths stacked up and then detuned, though the original jp8000 didnt use unison to achieve the effect due to it being too computationally expensive. i've heard they used some janky-ass method with noise and special filters that emphasised the sawtooth harmonics within that noise and simply widened the peaks to generate the detuned copies but dont quote me on that.

I've just remoted myself from synthesizers after watching this 😎

I love JUMP! I love AXEL-F!

Let’s all not forget about The Final Countdown (Aauugghh!)

I want to play that so bad. And I did.

Thanks for making this video. It's an excellent demonstration of the different modes. A regular paraphonic synth shares a single filter. Since the MiniFreak has 6 filters, it would try to make the best use of them. So for instance you could press 6 keys in rapid succession and each note gets its own filter. For keys 7-12 it would have to reuse the first/oldest filter for each new note and the key that the filter was taken from would have to combine with another old key's filter. A cheesy name could be "Pair-a-phonic" where each pair of notes could share a filter. This likely isn't exactly correct since the keys-to-filters don't necessarily have to be in pairs. Perhaps hexaphonic polyphony would be more accurate to indicate some kind of rotating recycling/reuse of the filters for the 12 notes.

OK, I have to confess: I bought GForce's DMX plugin mainly so I could imitate Blue Monday. Now I'll have to do a penance.

Great Video! I too have been guilty of the strawberry when G-Media M-Tron 1st came out. I felt like I was a beetle

Well, people buy an Oberheim because they want "that Oberheim sound". For that same reason, I didn't buy a C15 because "I don't want to sound like Hans Zimmer all the time". I like narly, mean sounds which is why I go for weirder synths. Like the Poly Evolver, the Norand Mono, the Kijimi or the Xaudio Beats FM. Why did YOU buy that Mellotron?

How embarrassing that people typecast and stereotype even our machines

My great grandma's maiden name was Doty. Pretty sure we're cousins bro. Opens preset patch and plays Van Halen's Jump.

I’m not impressed with the sound of PolyBrute, comparing to the other analog synths (and even some digital), particularly from the brands like the Roland, Korg, Moog, Oberheim and Sequential. Maybe it’s because of the filters, maybe because of the oscillators, maybe because of something else. There are certainly some good and warm sounds that I like, but if synth is analog and costs so much as it costs I expect to be blown away by the sound but I’m not. :)

I'm soon going to make multisamples of a handful of my favorite Mellotron voices, on my 1010music Blackbox. Not so I can play Strawberry Fields, however. . 😄

13:13 trumpet!

great tutorial.

I was afraid you were going to tell mw to start using the black keys instead of just the white ones.

Legit shocked the words "Blade Runner" did not appear in this video.

😂😂 MARC WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! LOL. that was great. But hey, Marc Doty. I know you as a synthesizer historian from the Internet and also someone I love hanging out with. I have a great idea for a collab. We do an Axel F/Jump/Sweet Dreams mashup with a hint of Strawberry Fields/Stairway to Heaven mellotron in the back. Then she can really yell at us.

...uhm. This is the most pretentious, gatekeeper stuff I've ever seen. Keep on feeling self righteous and superior to us mere lowlifes.

Yup, it's the equivalent of a creative mastermind suggesting to play ''Enter Sandman'' in a rock coverband.

Thank you for these excellent tutorials. I'm fairly new to synthesis and have a Micro Freak. I found you today and very grateful for that. Gradually going through these videos.

Ha! On point Mark and funny 😂 I can’t stand hearing jump anyone grabs OB-anything (I bet it was a reason for me not to even consider it). EVERYTIME I turn my Buchla, I think what’s wrong with me? Why am I playing 208C for music and not for blips and blobs like “normal people” do? 🎉

Love it! Wisdom.

It’s because the bar is now so low synths have taken the place of the home organ.

lol, knew something was coming...nice. My favorite use of Mellotron, probably this classic from way back...and one of the darkest guitar tones you'll ever hear on a "rock" record. Almost like Pat Metheny would use later on... ruclips.net/video/vXrpFxHfppI/видео.htmlsi=NYZjCTeLDCsQHntj
