You know when you see and hear something, for the first time, so special that kind of shock you? Well, that’s me every time I watch/hear a Moog Modular. Mind bending!
Sweetwater You can tell!! I always love your demos, yet this one is very special. To think for a moment that this is just ONE of the vast plethora of things that you do with gleam at Sweetwater (and with music), it is really a beautiful thing to realize and witness. Good frequencies to you always Daniel! Talented one! ❤️
There is so much knowledge and craftsmanship in this demo. This is a monumental video showing how amazing the old Moogs are and showing what Daniel is capable of. A piece of Art.
@Rhizosphere , Keith Emerson's Moog synthesizer does not have much difference from the 3P in terms of electronic components, especially if the 3P is added to the extra cabinet with double sequencer. The value you say is based on who used it, not its actual value. Pure snobbery.
I’m so so glad that Moog is able to do this, make a colossal behemoth juggernaut of a modular synth complete with those familiar old school sequencers! And I’m so glad to see someone whose had proper apprenticeship regarding its usage, it’s delightful. Regarding pricing, what you’re paying for is quality handcrafted gear from experts and pioneers in this arena. Those sounds speak for themselves, and they’re priceless. The satisfaction that one reaps from this is potentially limitless, and contagiously captivating! THATS why it’s still around! I’m so glad even just to see it run and to think it was made this year and not refurbished, it’s a really bright day for aspiring young musicians because it’s not unattainable. These pieces of gear have spirit and heart and that contributes in such positive ways, not only for music but also every aspect of our lives, when we let it! Thank you for sharing your insight and excitement!
Hi Exquisite Arc. Although my new "Synth Clips" tutorials have mostly used semi-modular and pre-wired synthesizers (so far), many of the tutorials' concepts are fully applicable to modular synthesis as well: th-cam.com/video/6uPBAj72pvw/w-d-xo.html Thanks, in advance, for watching! -_Daniel_
If I remember correctly "The Moody Blues" were one of the first bands to use a Moog. I think they had the nickname of being called the "Smallest Symphonic Orchestra" in the world....
Excellent explanations of the modules and demo. $40,000+ for everything...I’ll be sticking to eurorack for a long long time. Love these 5U systems but not the prices. For $40,000 I could buy a Buchla 200e AND a car 🤷🏽♂️
I have a small Doepfer Modular system and i think that absolutely is all i need... but man! that hardware looks beautyfull. And the performance was great! Thanks.
Incredible modular!! Only bummer it's 35K and that's without the sequencer...but OMG, this is the absolute (besides the Keith Emerson wall reboot) is so beautiful!!! Gotta call the bank man and get this thing going!!!!! PERFECT..the 901s etc. 10 osc. OMG!!!
I watched as a history lesson. How a keyboadist used these live on stage I don't know? Were they "fast patchers"? Were they minimalist patchers? The analog sound live must be incredible, it even sounds good digitized for TH-cam.
Wilderless, i use a lot several Moog modulars (and another modular synths) live and one of the most magical and beautiful things of those systems is, precisely, the absence of presets or memories... with a good synthesis and instrument background you can always reach the desired places and, also, transition between one sound and another with all the possible transformation dynamics used musically. The live use of a modular system is one of the most fascinating areas of electronic music. I recommend the experience of doing it!
@@ernestoromeo4949 Live solo piano and classical guitar are the only concerts I have given. My studio for synths however supply TH-cam with music of synths. I would have to think and practice long and hard deciding what instruments to take on the stage for a synth concert.
I’ve never seen this specific model but what gets me is how this is 35k and other versions that I have seen are 10+k each, but many years ago we would see these kinds of things at garage sales for a hundred bucks, or people would have them and not be able to use it so they think it’s broken just throwing it all away. Now it’s worth so much money. I always wanted all this stuff but didn’t really know how to use it or have the space to put it all. I wish I would have grabbed it all up.
Hi Daniel! Wish I could have ran into you @ gearfest 2019, it was a blast getting to play the Moog One. Still have the Matriarch for next year to try. Or Maybe Moog will come up with a 4-note poly in the vein of the Sub/One models. As others have said, Wow! Love to hear you take this for a spin! Though the Matriarch, One, and these modular systems are like porsche’s I’m glad Moog has the means and cajones to still build them like this and they’re other modular re-issues. Make an Album Please Sweetwater?!
I just commented on a BoBeats post that Moog synthesizer sounds always make me smile. Well, this one makes me happy (starting around 17:00) So, I smile because I'm happy? Or because Moog instruments are a pathway to happiness?!
At the end of the day it's around 50k. I think if you are going to cough up the 35 you will scrape the other 10 for a sequencer. Makes me feel like I got a bargain with the Moog one.
Just seeing this a year after this video was posted.. Outstanding synthesizer and superb demo. The only thing that might have added to the atmosphere would have been if you dressed up like johann Sebastian Bach and stood in front of the Moog IIIp to recreate the front cover of Wendy Carlos’s seminal album, “Switched on Bach”.. which put the Moog synthesizer on the want list of many musicians in the late 60’s and early 1970’s !! LOL
The dark background is designed to make the happy, bright-colored patch cables stand out. To get even more color, just add more cables. Thanks for watching!
I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw the price. I was thinking $10,000 max. How wrong was I...oh well, it felt good to fantasise about owning one for a few seconds at least.
@Rhizosphere If I could choose, I would take the System 55 first because of thr stability and features of the 921's, and they do sound great it seems!. But then complement it with a model 10 for the 901 goodness.
This sounds amazing but I don't see anything I can't get for cheaper in a custom Eurorack built systems minus the size and the Moog name. I find it hard to believe that the modern manufacturing costs to produce these are the same as in the 1970's-80's, when Moog did their first run of modular synths systems. The $35k price point is baffling. Great demo and presentation. It's just a hard sale based on cost.
I think they're only building 40. I grabbed number 33. They're was an ad back in the day that Said "if you can afford a truck, you can afford a synth". Compare it to a 1960 fender strat.. same price.. ill take the moog any day over the strat
If I’m going to spend $60,000 on a synth, It’s Ashville I want to visit, not Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Daniel, thanks for the review. I don’t get all the mixers. Why not 16 inputs after all this time, instead of 4x4s?
are there any custom chips in this? for example, if the modern world went Soylent Green, can a well equipped tech fix this with common parts? I want to know if this can last to be an heirloom. thanks!
I have my mouth still open...it's incredible... it's an orchestra, a kind of an alien orchestra...Moog + Fisher= PARADISE OF SOUND!!!
Man, I wish Daniel had a musical project. I could listen to him all day.
You know when you see and hear something, for the first time, so special that kind of shock you?
Well, that’s me every time I watch/hear a Moog Modular.
Mind bending!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL performance and demonstration Daniel!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you, Lisa. It was so much fun to make!

Daniel Fisher, we need an album of yours recorded only with Modular Moogs !!!
Excellent!
Well done again, @Sweetwater!
Agree!
Ernesto Romeo AGREED!!!! ❤️
yeeees please!

Thanks for watching!

Holy smoke... the greatest synth demoer meets the greatest synth of all time!!
Daniel is my favorite dude to watch on synths, he's got a huge amount of charm and you know he's the real deal.
@@crolodon8024 If you don't already, also check out Doctor Mix. The best synth guy on TH-cam after Daniel.

Well said, my friend!
I saw the tear in your eye when you said, "I've run out of time." I feel your pain, this is literally the synth of my dreams.
The true heart of Daniel FIsher emerges. That was great.
We have come full circle. Modular is still king and here is the king of kings. Bob would be shocked and delighted i guess
The part starting around 16:00 sounds really amazing. What a beautiful fat sound! Another brilliant demo from Daniel!
The beauty of a synthesizer appears when in such magic hands!!
This guy has the best job in the world.
That intro took me to 70s Doctor Who! I love it :))))
Bravo, Daniel Fischer!! You play a Moog as well as anybody- incredible performance 👍
Daniel Fisher needs a modular synthesis Masterclass I’d buy that shit instantly

Sweetwater thank you Daniel, as far as I am concerned you are the goat when it comes to synth tutorials, keep on rocking in the free world.
These are sounds from Heaven!
Ha! Daniel this thing looks like a riot, you lucky dog. What a world we live in.
That performance is a thing of absolute beauty! So damn good man it literally brought a tear to my eye, You are a master of your craft my friend!
Thank you Daniel, Moog and Sweetwater, although the M83 demo was good, this one is what this synth deserves. What a top notch musical instrument! :-)
These performances were incredible! Thank you Daniel for sharing it with us! Amazing!
An ambient producers dream 😍
Sublime programming and musicality.
FINALLY, a decent video on my favourite synth
absolutely beautiful performance at 15'30", very controlled and tasteful
Who needs a car when you can have a Spaceship!
SPACESHIP
Hahahaha I love this comment! It can be both complimentary or condescending 🤣
How can you not be inspired by such a beautiful system. great demonstration too.
Thats Just... Sacral machines, sacred sound, sacred music. Just heavenly, just perfect!
Thank a lot Daniel for the precise description of this synthesizer and for the demo. It's very informative and interesting!
Pure beauty from Daniel Fisher 👏👏👏👏👏
You sir are a true treasure.
you're real musician
Knew he'd go straight to the fixed filter for the atmosphere effects! Amazing.
This really is the greatest synth ever

Daniel, love this and the Model 10 demo video! Beautiful music, fantastic explanation and overview.
Damn that sounds incredible
Can we get an album release from this guy? @sweetwater This thing is a beast! It would look great in my music room.
I have a small Doepfer Modular system and i think that absolutely is all i need... but man! that hardware looks beautyfull. And the performance was great! Thanks.
What a beautiful sound. You lucky lad.
Guess I’ll have to settle with playing my Moog One. This inspires me to make some new presets for sure!
""settle" o_O
Is it weird that I've watched this like 10 times?
You’re not alone! I have a IIIp and still watch this because it’s a masterpiece of demonstration and synthesis talent!
Sure dig your synth demos, Dan. You're like a kid in a candy store
This is unbelievable!!!
Gorgeous. Just Gorgeous.
Awesome video as always guys!
Impressive.. You're a kind of sorcerer :)
Great musicality
Bravo !!

Look at Keith Emerson's modular system. It has preset modules supplying various voltages to the other modules.

@@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene Excellent!
I wish I would have discovered this beast of a synth before I bought my Tesla! Time to start saving up again!

Unbelievably great Daniel! Very creative patches, awesomeness!!
Epic sounds! He is a true synth artist!
Hi Daniel! Wish I could have ran into you @ gearfest 2019, it was a blast getting to play the Moog One. Still have the Matriarch for next year to try.

Who needa a car anyways? There a bus stop in front of my condo. I love this Moog! Good demo Daniel.
The machines sound like they were stolen from heaven and played from hell LOL
And, somehow, all of my longer patch cables keep ending up in Limbo. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Amazing demo
"Little Moog vignettes"??? Talk about understatement!
please do an in depth of the moog matriarch
Hi John. I totally will, just as soon as I get my hands on another Matriarch. (I had to give that one back right after the video:-(
beast synth. Nice demo, superbly well explained!
If this is over 10,000
my guess is... 32,000
Woah! I was close but I'm still stumped it's a full 3000 more. Excellent stuff!
plus 11k for the sequencer and the keyboard :)
At the end of the day it's around 50k. I think if you are going to cough up the 35 you will scrape the other 10 for a sequencer. Makes me feel like I got a bargain with the Moog one.
you have.
Don't forget about the $1.1k controller
If only I had a spare $35k lying around.
Oh Hell yeah!
@* AnimalHeadSpirit * LookMumNoComputer just built his own.
This one is 45k

Hi Mark. Maybe I could find one of those Seinfeld "Puffy Shirts". Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
I love knobs.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
P.S. I wish this synth had a happy bright color.

Wow, that Moog is awesome there's a store right next to Pizza Hut where I work, I'll pick one up tomorrow.
Hi Blue Blue. See if your Pizza Hut does Half-Off Wednesdays. Thanks for watching!
Rhizosphere I guest it would be safe to assume the pizza. Lol
Very musical result given there is no quantizer.
Amazing synth!
Wow, lovely😍
i wouldnt be angry if this was next months giveaway!!
The IMAX 70MM of analog. :)
Does Moog Music have any plans of reissuing the Keith Emerson sample and hold module? That would really be the dot over the i.
Beyond cool!
Dude that's dope. Tangerine Dream not picked you up yet?
Hi Jeffrey. I'm holding out for Hawkwind!
nice job !
The best synth music I have ever heard. I need to sell my house for this
Hey Daniel! Which is your favorite? System 55 or III?
I guess if i could only have one, it'd be the System 55 since that's what I started on back in 1980. Thanks for watching!
@Rhizosphere If I could choose, I would take the System 55 first because of thr stability and features of the 921's, and they do sound great it seems!. But then complement it with a model 10 for the 901 goodness.
I just wonder what 50 Moog Mother 32s could sound for the equivalent price. I guess bloody excellent and mental!
@Rhizosphere I've got enough noises with two Mothers and a Behringer D.
Awesome
This sounds amazing but I don't see anything I can't get for cheaper in a custom Eurorack built systems minus the size and the Moog name.

Great demo and presentation. It's just a hard sale based on cost.
You've gotta wonder how many of these they'll ever sell... It's like buying a $2M supercar lol
I think they're only building 40. I grabbed number 33. They're was an ad back in the day that Said "if you can afford a truck, you can afford a synth". Compare it to a 1960 fender strat.. same price.. ill take the moog any day over the strat
Does a filtered noise intro ever get old?
Sorry, just can't keep my opinion to myself, in this case.
Ok moog, well done. Now how
about bringing back the drum
synthesizer???
@RomeroFanboy
No, not the d-fam.
The moog 1130! It came out the same
time as Keith's 3C synthesizer.
Amazing!
Mother of god this is amazing. Please let me have one 🤪👍
As low as $1,459/month. xD
only $35,000? Moog has another working man's synthesizer reissue.
that's double what i make in a year...
The rich working man, you mean.
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I think he was being sarcastic... Oh well, Volca Mod for the rest of us right?
No this one is 45,000
