Amos Gaynes and the Power of Modular Synthesis – Moogfest 2010
Amos Gaynes, New Product Specialist at Moog Music, Inc., explains that now is the best time in history to use modular synthesis. This talk was part of a larger panel on modular synthesis presented at Moogfest 2010 in Asheville, NC. The panel, conceptualized by the Bob Moog Foundation, also featured Erik Norlander and August Worley and highlighted Erik’s 22 oscillator modular Moog synthesizer, affectionately known as the Wall of Doom (seen in the background).

Time machine – Moog Prodigy
Time for a new time machine episode – A voyage into the heart of the Moog Prodigy from the year 1979.
Exploration by Marko Ettlich
The Prodigy was an entry-level monosynth from Moog, which has since become a very popular and widely used Bass-synth in techno and electronic music. It was designed as an affordable dual-oscillator synth. It was, however, designed without any help from Bob Moog himself. But that didn’t stop the Prodigy from becoming an excellent analog synth!
Its simple yet effective design employs two voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) with saw, triangle and pulse waveforms…all classic analog stuff! There’s also a genuine Moog 24dB / octave lowpass filter (emphasis), A/D/S envelope generator, and LFO with square or triangle waveforms and routing to the VCF, VCO or both! Even Portamento, Pitch and Mod wheels. To save money there are no highly flexible modulation routings, no on-board sequencers or arpeggiators, and a simple 32 note keyboard.
monophonic analog synthesis
2 Osc I Saw, Pulse, Square, Sync, Noise
Filter – 24dB lowpass
It has been used by Depeche Mode, 808 State, Prodigy, Howard Jones, Blur, Fatboy Slim and many more.
Using the Moog Minitaur with a x0xb0x (303 clone)
Switched On Music Electronics demonstrates the Moog’s new desktop bass synth the Minitaur interacting with a 303 clone, The x0xb0x. The x0xb0x is sequencing the Minitaur via midi, and also sending its audio through the filter of the Minitaur for a stack of thick textural bass.

Jean Michel Jarre – Rendez-Vous IV (performed live by Kebu)
Kebu on stage performing a classic Jarre song, here’s what he has to say about it:
This tune by Jarre is one of the most joyful tunes in the world and always makes me smile. Therefore, I picked this one as of the very few covers I performed at my mini-tour in May 2012. This video was recorded live at my show in Doo-Bop Club, Vaasa, 12th of May 2012.
The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. The performance was recorded line in to one of the cameras. The ambience in the club was recorded using the built-in microphones on two of the remaining cameras and mixed together with the line signal.
Equipment used in this song: Arp Odyssey Mk II; Korg Polysix, Poly 61, Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Roland TR-808, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Moog Source, Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Yamaha RM1x (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer. Cameras: Canon HF100 (x2), HF200 and HF406.
MIDI MuRF/Koushion Jam
Koushion-controlled Moog MIDI MuRF and Yamaha MO8 synced to Ableton’s clock with some additional synthage thrown in. Proof-of-concept, not a “serious” performance.

“Flubs and all. I had just got my Moog slim phatty and this is the second little song that happened while I was still going through the presets. I decided to iphone it. I’m on the fence of switching my preorder for a minibrute over to a second copy of the slim phatty. patches and cc with genome might win out. thoughts?”
