Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins Tutorial | Creating Conditional by Colleen Moog Music Inc 2023-03-24 | Tutorial: How to create a complete song using five Moogerfooger Effects-Plug-ins and just two external audio sources!Inside her DAW of choice, French musician Cécile Schott (Colleen) details how to replicate a hardware gear workflow with sends and returns using nine instances of the plug-ins, treating each effect as its own instrument. From the artist:“I have a pretty intimate knowledge of the MF-104M Analog Delay, MF105 MIDIMuRF, and MF-101 Lowpass Filter, so I was curious to hear the effects’ digital replica and try the other two I didn’t know, especially the MF-107S Freqbox, which I fell in love with madly (it is responsible for the song’s impossibly crunchy rhythm!).I purposefully used a very minimal sound source—the Hammond of the Yamaha Reface-YC—as a blank canvas to showcase what makes the Moogerfoogers truly unique: their ability to radically transform sound and impart a sense of motion, making them closer to a synth module than an effect pedal. Having just finished a fully instrumental album, I actually really felt like singing the lyrics to a song which I had to discard, allowing me to also showcase the MF-104M as an awesome vocal processor.”Visit the link below listen to “Conditional” by Colleen in full, and hear more complete tracks created using the Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.Listen to "Conditional" by Colleen: soundcloud.com/moogmusicinc/conditionalLearn more about Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins: software.moogmusic.com
Matriarch | External Processing & Controlling Eurorack Modules Moog Music Inc 2023-03-14 | In this video, we explore how to use Matriarch as the heart of a Eurorack system—both controlling and processing Eurorack modules. We begin by using the Matriarch’s Keyboard CV and GATE outputs to control the Make Noise Morphagene. Morphagene’s audio output is sent back through the Matriarch, so we can process the Morphagene with the stereo filters and analog delay of Matriarch. By combining Morphagene with the analog oscillators of Matriarch, we create a hybrid digital/analog synthesizer—all controlled via Matriarch’s keyboard. Finally, we use the Sample and Hold section of Matriarch to change the sample played by Morphagene with each new key press. Learn more about Matriarch: moogmusic.com/products/matriarch
Matriarch | Stereo Movement with Attenuators & Inversion Moog Music Inc 2023-03-14 | In this video, we explore just one of the many possibilities that Matriarch’s three attenuators have to offer. First, we look at how to use an attenuator as an offset control, providing a wide range frequency control for one of Matriarch’s oscillators. Next, we explore the simple use case of using the attenuator as a “CV volume knob,” using it to scale and invert the modulation depth of the modulation oscillator on the filter. Lastly, we introduce a second attenuator and use it as an inverter to create stereo filter modulation, sweeping the sound of the stereo filters across both the frequency spectrum and the stereo space simultaneously. Learn more about Matriarch: moogmusic.com/products/matriarch
Matriarch | Ring Modulation with Attenuators Moog Music Inc 2023-03-14 | While Matriarch may not initially seem like it has any ring modulators, its three attenuators can each be used to create ring modulation effects. First, we introduce the basic concept of a ring modulator, how it works, and what kinds of effects it is typically used for. Then we introduce Matriarch’s attenuators, exploring how to use them as bipolar voltage-controlled attenuators and how to ring modulate Oscillator 1 with Oscillator 2. After exploring some of the different tonalities we can achieve using different waveforms and octave spacings, we finally utilize the exponential pitch CV inputs of the oscillator bank and the secondary LFO to create broadband ring modulation tones and wild spacey effects. Learn more about Matriarch: moogmusic.com/products/matriarch
Matriarch | Patching Velocity & Aftertouch Moog Music Inc 2023-03-14 | In this video, we walk through how to patch keyboard velocity and aftertouch with Matriarch. We begin by patching a simple vibrato patch, sending the modulation oscillator of Matriarch to the first two oscillators in its oscillator bank and using an attenuator to scale the depth of vibrato. While this is already possible using Matriarch’s Modulation section and mod wheel, creating the patch this way allows us to add dynamic control of the modulation depth. Next, we show how to dynamically control the vibrato depth with the Matriarch keyboard—first with its aftertouch CV output, and then with its velocity CV output.

Francesca Guccione | Utopia I | Violin & Semi-Modular Synthesizers Moog Music Inc 2022-12-15 | "Utopia I" is a composition by Italian composer and violinist Francesca Guccione.'Utopia Aerial View,' a new four-piece album by Francesca Guccione, invites listeners to experience the distinctive relationship between electronic and organic sound.In each composition, the artist brings together violin and an assortment of analog synthesizers. This marriage of compelling, cinematic strings and delicate modular soundscapes presents electronic musical instruments as expressive, adaptable tools for contemporary classical musicians."The music is characterized mainly by dialogue between the violin and Moog synthesizers, especially the Grandmother, DFAM, and Subharmonicon," Francesca shares. "I think Moog's synthesizers, with their warm and unique sound, are perfect for playing with strings. As a fan of small ensembles and chamber music, it was a fun and exciting challenge for me to translate that kind of writing for instruments that are generally associated with other genres of music. Thus, for example, the Subharmonicon reiterates bichords from where the entire structure of a track unfolds, thus imitating what two cellos would do, or the Grandmother performs minimalist cells that, intertwined with the melodic line of the violin, makes it possible to create an intense dialogue and exchange of voices between the various instruments."Stream or purchase the full EP here: francescaguccione.bandcamp.com/album/utopia-aerial-view***CREDITSAll songs composed and performed by Francesca GuccioneRecord Label: Whales Records Recorded by Saretto Emmolo at Mattonacci Recording Studio Mixed by Lele Gambera Mastered by Alexandr Vatagin at Sunshine Mastering Studio Artwork, photos, and video by Salvo Dipasquale

Minimoog Model D | The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble | Archimedes Screw Moog Music Inc 2022-11-17 | In collaboration with Moog Music, the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble presents “Archimedes Screw,” a live performance from 11 musicians—with each of the 10 keyboardists using their own Model D to add layers of sound to the composition as it builds. From the onset of the video, the stage is set: a mix of vintage and modern Minimoogs line the chancel of The Mount Without, a historic chapel in Bristol, UK. The acoustics of the space provide a warm depth to the sound of Minimoogs produced from every era they have been manufactured. Utilizing MIDI integration for the 2016 and 2022 reissues, and MIDI-to-CV converters for the vintage units involved in this performance, the Moog Ensemble highlights the modern features alongside the classic sound. According to the group’s musical director and composer, Will Gregory, the instrument’s enhancements expand Model D’s realm of sonic possibility. “The MIDI aspect of these instruments enables us to open polyrhythmic possibilities between the 10 parts that would be beyond humans to reproduce otherwise. Our hands become free for sound sculpting as we perform by manipulating the filter, resonance, modulation, and envelope controls in pairs. Both these aspects are very important to how I see the Moog Ensemble breaking new ground in live performance and simultaneously giving a more expressive and warm creation.” “Archimedes Screw” demonstrates Model D’s timeless sound, playability, and relevance as a powerful musical tool for live performance. The Moog Ensemble manifesto, Gregory shares, is very much about live performance as a living breathing unit of musicians listening and responding together. Will Gregory discusses his connection with the instrument and shares more details on how the ensemble composed this piece from a technical perspective on Moog’s website (moogmusic.com). Goldfrapp’s Will Gregory is one of the UK’s leading advocates of using synthesizers and electronic instruments to create new sounds and reinvent old ones. Leading and performing with the Moog Ensemble since 2005, Gregory and its rotating contributors—which includes Adrian Utley of Portishead—perform a mixture of specially composed music, transcriptions of classical works, and their own versions of music from popular culture and film scores. “Archimedes Screw” will be featured on the debut Will Gregory Moog Ensemble album coming out via Mute Records in 2023.More about the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble: willgregorymoogensemble.co.ukMore about Minimoog Model D: moogmusic.com/products/minimoog-model-dCredits:John Baggott – Minimoog Model DWill Gregory – Minimoog Model DSimon Haram – Minimoog Model DVyv Hope-Scott – Minimoog Model DRoss Hughes – Minimoog Model DHazel Mills – Minimoog Model DDaniel Moore – Minimoog Model DHinako Omori – Minimoog Model DEddie Parker – Minimoog Model DAdrian Utley – Minimoog Model DHarriet Riley – PercussionChris Talbot – Director/EditorSofia Ilyas – On-Site ProducerNick Batt – Audio EngineerAlex Kozobolis – PhotographerVince Camacho – Cam-OpCharlie Graham (Bunch Creative) – DOPJames Mackie (Bunch Creative) – Cam-OpAlastair Bury – GafferJake Sullivan – SparkAdam Buruncz – Spark

Moog Model 10 | Hannes Bieger Moog Music Inc 2022-09-22 | Hannes Bieger is no stranger to the power of Moog large-format modular systems. The Berlin-based producer, mixing engineer, and live artist—who has been creating and recording ground-shaking techno and house music with his System 35 for years—recently discussed how his experience with modular instruments has shaped his style and process. “What I love about modular is how you can incorporate ‘happy accidents’ in the workflow, especially when tossing around patterns on the analogue sequencers,” Hannes shared. “I love the physicality of the process, actually standing in front of this big instrument rather than sitting in front of a computer screen. Finally, there is a sonic world difficult to achieve with conventional synths. I love, for example, how I can create stereo sounds with a pair of VCAs and AM modulation as a part of the actual synthesis, not with external effects.” Hannes shares more about how modular instruments like the Model 10 (now back in production!) and System 35 have shaped his style and process in a new interview on our website.

Minimoog Model D for macOS | GarageBand Intro Moog Music Inc 2022-09-16 | This video walks through how to get set up using the recently released macOS version of the Minimoog Model D App within GarageBand or Logic. The Minimoog Model D App can be used as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plugin in Digital Audio Workstations that support AUv3. Logic, GarageBand, Reaper, MainStage, and Ableton Live (as of version 11.2) all support AUv3 natively. In this video, using GarageBand as an example, we show how to create a new software instrument, record some sounds with the Model D, and start layering Model D tracks on top of each other.

Moog Mavis | Introduction to the Wavefolder Moog Music Inc 2022-06-14 | This video walks through the wavefolder section of Mavis, describing how wavefolding works, how the wavefolder is routed in Mavis, and how to simulate voltage control over wavefolding. First, we run through how wavefolding differs from distortion or clipping. Then, we look at the normalizations around the wavefolder in Mavis and how to patch the wavefolder into the signal chain. After running some waveforms through the folder, we look at how to mix a VCO and LFO together in the mixer to modulate the wavefolding effect. Finally, we look at the wavefolder as an external signal processor by running Mother-32 through it.Learn more about Mavis: moogmusic.com/products/mavis
Moog Mavis | How to Use the LFO as a Second Oscillator Moog Music Inc 2022-06-14 | In this video, we give Mavis a thicker sound by using its LFO as a second oscillator. First, we listen to the LFO directly and hear how we can create a wide palate of wavefolded sounds by patching the LFO triangle wave through the Fold circuit. Next, we mix the VCO and LFO of Mavis together in the One+Two mixer and tune them together. We also look at how to use the KB CV output to get the LFO to move alongside the VCO as we play the keyboard. Finally, we use the Korg SQ-1 sequencer to sequence Mavis, using the Mult to move both oscillators in tandem.Learn more about Mavis: moogmusic.com/products/mavis
Moog Mavis | How to Integrate with Mother-32, DFAM & Subharmonicon Moog Music Inc 2022-06-14 | In this video, we explore how Mavis plays with its fellow semi-modular friends: Mother-32, DFAM, and Subharmonicon. First, we use Mother-32's sequencer to sequence Mavis, tuning both instruments together and using the crossfader on Mother-32 to mix together a powerful two-oscillator synthesizer. Next, we assemble a rhythm on DFAM and use its PITCH sequencer to sequence Mavis, adding an accompanying bass line or rhythmic analog texture to DFAM’s rhythm. Finally, we use the mixer in Mavis to mix Mavis and Subharmonicon together while Subharmonicon’s two independent sequencers drive each instrument respectively.Learn more about Mavis: moogmusic.com/products/mavis
Moog Mavis | How to Use the Sample & Hold Moog Music Inc 2022-06-14 | In this video, we walk through the Sample and Hold section of the patch bay in Mavis. First, we walk through the Mavis Sample and Hold circuit’s inputs, outputs, and normalizations. Then, we look at how a Sample and Hold circuit works, and how it can be used to generate random voltages. Finally, we use the Attenuator to reign in the random voltages created by the Sample and Hold, and use the Mult to route it to multiple destinations.Learn more about Mavis: moogmusic.com/products/mavis
Moog Mavis | Unlocking Maviss Utilities Moog Music Inc 2022-06-14 | In this video, we run down the utility section of Mavis: the Attenuator, the Mult, and the One+Two mixer. First, we look at the Attenuator, its normalizations, and how to use it to control modulation depth. Then, we explore how to use the Mult to route our attenuated signal to multiple destinations in Mavis. Finally, we dive into the One+Two mixer, examining how its two inputs differ from each other, the input normalizations, and how to use the Attenuator to patch in a separate level control for the Two input.Learn more about Mavis: moogmusic.com/products/mavis
