- In this video, we're going to look at the different sequencer playback options as well as options for the Tempo Patch Input
This video series gives a complete tutorial on Moog’s Mother-32. From basic signal flow, to global parameters, to advanced patching - I’m going to cover the Mother-32 from top to bottom.

Thank you for these. I have the whole moog sound studio, and I find the Mother to be the most intimidating of the three due to it's sheer programmable complexity. Even when you go over things I feel fairly comfortable with, it still inspires me. And I had not even thought of what you covered in this video. Good job, man. Keep em coming.
Well said! 🔥🔥🔥👍
You're very welcome!
Thank you. Great inspiration to new moog users.
Thanks for the latest series about mm32 , very clear speaking as well
Thanks! Glad you like them!
great insights, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Due to your clear instructions I succeeded in making this work (despite my color blindness which is maddening in setup mode) but there were some oddities. The sequence would stop either on its own or if I pushed the tempo to either extreme - particularly if I cranked the LFO rate quickly in either direction. And sometimes the run/stop button wouldn't turn off the sequence. So I would end it with an LFO burst and then push run/stop to reset. For my musical purposes I would just run the random sequencer setting and control tempo with the tempo/gate knob. But, your video is still very instructive - even though I still haven't entirely wrapped my head around the voltage threshold concept and why the mix knob worked that way (homework!). Try an octotonic scale - it's very cool with random sequence playback: Whole - half step scale: C Db Eb E F# G A Bb. Or a whole tone scale: C D E F# G# A#. And then, with either scale, while the sequence is running, hit any pitch from the scale to transpose the sequence up and down.
Great idea! I'll definitely play around with some of those scales.
To your point - completely agree. That's why I said it was completely ridiculous! Ha! It's just not as good as setting the sequencer to random... Far more complicated.
I noticed the same thing - i.e. stopping at weird places. I think that has to do with the threshold thing I mentioned and the paradox of which one starts.
Let me try to explain the threshold. Imagine we had a smooth random voltage and not stepped. If that voltage wobbled within the bounds of one note, the sequencer wouldn't move - no matter how long it stayed there. But as soon as it crossed the bounds for that note and went to the one above it - it would change values and move a step. So it would play arythmically if the voltage was totally random.
It was a fun experiment!
@@braintree56 Thanks for the explanation. It’s clearer to me now. I admit that I have ‘I’m incapable of understanding this’ anxiety about voltage control - just as I did with algebra in high school. But I did eventually parse algebra so I will persevere! LOL
Any symmetrical scale is great for sequence randomization. They can be harmonically functional or not - specifically or ambiguously, somewhere between tonality and atonality. Without a tonic reference, they’re like crossing waves that make moirés patterns. Check out Olivier Messiaen’s ‘Modes of Limited Transposition’ for more interesting possibilities.

Page 8? I only have 3 pages. Did I miss something? A software update?
Yeah, you'll need to update your firmware. The old firmware has only 3 pages. Firmware 2.0 (which I think is the most recent) was released about 4 years ago.
Thanks! Your videos have been super helpful.
