I (Guitar player for many years) just bought my first analog synth and THIS video helped explain how the modules work better than many other videos. wow
10:44 That singing bit is actually useful, I really liked that more for vocal as you've shown! It reminds me of an old AM radio in my parent's cars/trucks when I was younger. Guitar would be useful to have something like this to age the sound a bit as well. I'm sure someone will have need for it!
THANK YOU! This is the one video that cuts right to the chase, answering the primary questions succinctly & thoroughly. If only all content providers had your senses of hierarchy & economy; clarity & brevity. ☆☆☆☆☆
cant believe there's not more videos of this being done...I was thinking of ways to play bass parts with my guitar for beats or any kind of synth sounds without getting that thing that attaches to your guitar...this is sick
Man this is the most inspiring GM video yet. Beyond just playing guitar through it, playing other synths through it..and vocals? Damn. Thanks so much for this one
I’ve been using my model D for this at my church gig. Using its resonant high pass filter to be modulated to taste by 2 different oscillators at different waves and speeds, as well as using the keyboard tracking with simple arps. All with dripping delay, phasing and/or flanging. I need a fucking Synthi with CV pedals for everything!!!
Get one of those midi guitar pickups, plug the midi out into the midi in on the Moog, use the LFO retrigger and envelope retrigger to get an autowah and anything else you want.
Y’all know Steve Hillage? He’s the ultimate master of this kinda shit. Seriously married the guitar to the Synthi. Listen to the album Open for the guitar run through it’s beautiful filter to fantastic effect. green is great but more synth guitar rather than the guitar with filter modulation.
You can trigger the amp section with a drum pad trigger. Then, including your techniques, you can prerecord your guitar track and trigger the track with the sticks. Tons of fun!
Cool video for sure. Vocal processing is really interesting and deserves it's own video tho! Still waiting for a demo of percussive loops to get the GM to double as a drum machine :)
Your vids are always a pleasure. It's testament to your efforts ( and others, of course: Bo and his "vijeos", Loop Loop etc) that as I watched I was saying " put the drone on" , "turn the oscillators down", " crank up the VCA", "add some LFO" almost before you did it. I have ordered a Grandmother 'cos its time to move up from my Monologue .
My Bass Station 2 has external inputs so I reckon I can do some of these with that, awesome. Love the vocals at the end. At 7.15 it sounds just like the Vox Repeat Percussion pedal that was built into some of their guitars. Very cool and inspiring.
I was thinking of buying a synth for fun, but I'm also learning the guitar. I'm thinking I could get something like this now so I could mess around with different sounds. 8:53 had me interested. I'm also wondering if there might be other synths that I should consider too.
Enjoyed this. I dont care about the tuning. The point is you gave me some great ideas. Great Stuff. What synth do you use on your signature once upon a time tune?
Lots of great ideas here! I already have a Novation Nova desktop, but I'm also just choosing on my next addition - Korg MS 20 mini, or maybe Behringer Neutron. My Nova accepts ext in, as do both the others I'm considering, I never really thought about using them this way. Plug in a guitar, filter it through, sample into my KP3, and move into a new loop... I need to get practicing. Thank you!
I actually did tune it believe it or not lol. I think I need to fix the guitar somehow cause even when every string is in tune, sometimes playing open chords sounds out of tune. I'm a piano player, so I'm less familiar with what might be the problem. I'll do some googling.
@@onceuponasynth I thought it sounded awesome. But before you go get somebody messin around with the truss rod, just check the intonation at the twelfth fret, and adjust the intonation at the bridge. The way you check it is you start at the e string and work your way across to the other e. Hit your open string, and then that same string at the twelfth fret, and just make sure it's an octave up. That just means they need to be the same note, just an octave up. If they aren't, you can detune the string, and adjust it at the bridge. you should watch a video on it, there are lots of them. Since you're more of a pianist, I know adjusting things like that are a much bigger deal for pianos because I play them too, but I promise guitar maintenance is much easier than piano maintenance
Can you utilize the noise generator, when running an instrument through? Just want to add some white noise to my instruments that don’t have that ability
couple fucking GEMS along the way dude I don't think you realize how good some of that sounded. we don't have the same ear so there was a bit i didn't vibe with but shitttt
yeah. the spring reverb is amazing on that unit... its for its own already a reason to buy this synth :-)... nice experiment... have fun using drums into it... dub hell .-))
Sure, why not? When you force it everything works...sort of. Just add a preamp after the fx send to raise the guitar signal to synth levels and an attenuator before fx return so you don't fry your amp and...seriously guys, why not just take a guitar multi-fx? ;) It's made for processing guitar level signals and there are quite a few with lfos, envelopes and all those toys.
Nah. It's like detuning oscillators for a fatter sound. The cure do this a lot. ..... In all seriousness though...open chords on an electric aren't a great idea....
We could go on all day about just intonation and equal temperment.... Compensating nuts, bridges and frets. Fanned frets...scale length. It's a whole thing.
You need to set up a gate to CV to trigger the VCA/VCF That way it will fire a note based on the level of audio input. I was doing this stuff forty years ago on a MiniMoog!

Running my grandma through the Moogsynth
Sounds like that hurt
@Timothy Hensel Warm as a Moog yet dangerous as a Jaguar
Running my Moog synth through my grandma… I let her eat it and then let nature have it's way..
@@thiesenf Running my grandmother through an actual jaguar. Well, she should've run faster.
@Timothy Hensel There's more than you know.
I plugged my jack in my grandmothers back. It was great! The whole neighborhood could hear it
i just spat out my food
L lol
Thats...disgusting. lol
holy fuck
that must have been a glorious moment
Now I wanna learn how to play guitar so I can play this synth
do it!!
Some synths don't even have keys. You can have a lot of fun and not know how to play any instruments.
willystov like modular/buchla synthesizers! I do know how to play instruments, but you by no means need to be.
Haha, Imaginary ambition
hey horse man

Your grandmother has great taste in analog synths
somebody better make some cool ass psychadelic experimental album with this, even if i have to be that somebody
I'll help man
look up ‘Wand Lower Order’. Not using the GM but the guitar was run through a synth , and the whole album (1000 Days) is littered with it!
I'm working on it doode
everyone who did anything with this sample pls link it :3
Buy me a Moog Grandmother and a guitar.
THANK YOU! This is the one video that cuts right to the chase, answering the primary questions succinctly & thoroughly. If only all content providers had your senses of hierarchy & economy; clarity & brevity. ☆☆☆☆☆

Every clip of this could be its own awesome song, this is so cool man
8:53 is my favorite
I'm going to be picking me brain out of the carpet for a month because my mind was literally blown.
Man this is the most inspiring GM video yet. Beyond just playing guitar through it, playing other synths through it..and vocals? Damn. Thanks so much for this one
One of my favorite uses of the grandmother is running audio through it like this. It can surf!

You could add a video of how to get that Beatles "Octopus' Garden" vocal sound that Ringo has on his voice.
RizeKrispy I always thought it was just John turning the intensity of the white noise on the Moog up and down
this sounds like something straight out of hylics
Yesss hylics is great
My exact thoughs lol. Hyped af for hylics 2
Get one of those midi guitar pickups, plug the midi out into the midi in on the Moog, use the LFO retrigger and envelope retrigger to get an autowah and anything else you want.
Killer idea, kudos
Or use an ms-20 which has an envelope follower, or patch into an envelope follower module.
No midi really needed.
Nicely done, and very useful. Thank you!
I’m a guitarist who just ordered a grandma …can’t wait to learn that thing
Been doing this stuff for ages with a Microbrute, but I have to say, the Granny is very appealing.
Ah, me too! Guitar -> Superego -> Micro POG -> Microbrute is a great combination.
A bit of me doing that in my upcoming album. Such a fun thing to do
Man, it must sound so grungy with the Microbrute! Cool!
Y’all know Steve Hillage? He’s the ultimate master of this kinda shit. Seriously married the guitar to the Synthi. Listen to the album Open for the guitar run through it’s beautiful filter to fantastic effect. green is great but more synth guitar rather than the guitar with filter modulation.
This is an amazingly helpful video man! Thank you for the knowledge!
I unplugged my grandmother's life support and plugged my Moog grandmother in instead.
You can trigger the amp section with a drum pad trigger. Then, including your techniques, you can prerecord your guitar track and trigger the track with the sticks. Tons of fun!
7:45 sounds awesome!
I recommend you to check out Hologram Microcosm
Very helpful video. Thanks for making it!😃
That spring reverb gives instant surf rock vibes!!!
Very cool! I'd love to experiment with using a 'freeze' pedal or a looper before the Moog so I've got both hands free for knob twiddling!
cheers mate!
Cool video for sure. Vocal processing is really interesting and deserves it's own video tho!
Still waiting for a demo of percussive loops to get the GM to double as a drum machine :)
One of the best videos I’ve seen on this subject! Thanks!
TYSM for this! It really opened my eyes on how I can use my Moog to filter sounds from external sources.
Well damn… As if I wasn’t already super excited to get a Grandmother now I’m flabbergasted 😍
We live in amazing times! Can't wait to try this.
Wow.Never thought of doing this, but now I will try it with the strat!
Tone at 5:30 is face-melting! 😍🤯🤘
I love this review and tutorial I am looking into getting one of these in the future.
are you a time-traveler?
imagine having a moog grandmother on your guitar fx rig, on the pedal board.
I plugged my guitar directly into the AC wall outlet once
and lit my brains on fire!
The vocal stuff along with the guitar at the end is so cool!!!
4:02 sounds awesome, i bet this would be sick with bass too!
also I think it would be super useful to just bus recorded tracks into it, rather than playing it live, so you have your hands free
Thanks a lot for doing these GM videos. Every one has blown my mind. Great content.

Jack Whites next endeavour lol
Well, the Minimoog has been around since the 70's, and that thing could do what this does.
nonedescriptivepresence. no verb
Two things I was looking for was a moog, and a spring reverb pedal for my guitar. Guess I'm getting this lol.
Thank you for this video! You're way more helpful than the Grandmother manual.
DUDE HOW MANY OF THESE DO I HAVE TO BUY
all of them
This is a cool idea. Definitely trying this out.
7:20
Love it! Wish you were running that into a twin reverb. Some tubes would liven it up a bit for sure.
My Bass Station 2 has external inputs so I reckon I can do some of these with that, awesome. Love the vocals at the end. At 7.15 it sounds just like the Vox Repeat Percussion pedal that was built into some of their guitars. Very cool and inspiring.
Dude come on... tuning
Still, nice ideas.
In fact, youve just changed my life, lol. Thanks
That answers a whole lot of questions. Thanks.

Tuning the guitar would've helped...
There's always one to comment on BS

@@onceuponasynth The intonation might be off. If it is that, you're gonna have to straighten the truss rod to fix it or just go to a music store.
@Zozzle: cool, thanks for the info, I'll prob go have someone take a look at it.

thats was fucking ace ! ill be getting this monster defo even if i sell my house and children to buy one, x
Thanks for a cool demo man..
this is genuinely amazing
wow you are opening worlds to me !
So cool. I have so got to get guitar lessons 🎸
Well, this is the final straw. Hadn't QUITE settled on a Grandmother, but I am about to be a proud owner
great demo. that last bit was tight - would love to hear a full song in that vain.
thanks for this video behringer made a clone of this synth and i wanted to see if i could use it for effects
9:40 I Will suvive - Cake Version
Great! Thanks! I wonder if the pitch modulation would work?
Brilliant! Like always! Thank you! ❤️
The sequencer effect sounds so fucking good
The maxed out LFO Rate sounds make me very happy
That end bit rrally hit home
Creative use of synth. The Who used an ARP 2600 to similar effect.
So cool!
This is awesome. Thanks
haven't even started and i'm already emotional
couple fucking GEMS along the way dude I don't think you realize how good some of that sounded. we don't have the same ear so there was a bit i didn't vibe with but shitttt
This is very nice! Would love to try my Les Paul Studio through one.
Have you ever tried this with a Korg MS20 mini? Cheers.
Very interested. Thanks!
Great stuff! Thanks
Seems like lots of the semi modular might be able to do some of this.Thanks!
are you working on an album? loving all your videos
Can you get bass sounds with a guitar doing that??
ooh that white noise knob would be good for a nice sweep before the part change.
Hey, Great video! Is it possible to use the glide effect with the guitar as well?
yeah. the spring reverb is amazing on that unit... its for its own already a reason to buy this synth :-)... nice experiment... have fun using drums into it... dub hell .-))
Grandma elegant synthesis!
THE VOX AT THE END. So cool.
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Can you put the MOOG in the effects loop of an amp?
Good question!
Sure, why not? When you force it everything works...sort of. Just add a preamp after the fx send to raise the guitar signal to synth levels and an attenuator before fx return so you don't fry your amp and...seriously guys, why not just take a guitar multi-fx? ;) It's made for processing guitar level signals and there are quite a few with lfos, envelopes and all those toys.
No need for the preamp. An effects loop is post-preamp, aka line level signal.
sounds like guitars from 90's
Which ones?
I'm having a hard time understanding how you're getting the Mic+Mixer+Synth to work together
In a pinch, an Over-Drive or "clean boost" could be used to make the instrument signal hotter.
Is there a way to patch the synth to double the pitch played by the instrument in? 🤔
That's it I'm buying one, I'm mostly a guitar player but I love synths. This is better then any pedal board
Could I run my bass guitar into the Grandmother?
Could you also run a synth through this synth and showcase the results?
Nice, now I want a GM. By the way, you should probably tune your guitar properly before recording
Nah. It's like detuning oscillators for a fatter sound. The cure do this a lot. ..... In all seriousness though...open chords on an electric aren't a great idea....
Nah, there's no problem with open chords on an electric guitar unless it's not set up well.
We could go on all day about just intonation and equal temperment.... Compensating nuts, bridges and frets. Fanned frets...scale length. It's a whole thing.
That doesn't mean there's any reason open chords on electric guitars are a bad idea!
Aren't a great idea vs bad idea. Swimming in subjective water. Also I think the context is important.
You need to set up a gate to CV to trigger the VCA/VCF
That way it will fire a note based on the level of audio input.
I was doing this stuff forty years ago on a MiniMoog!
Muy bueno. Gracias viejo
de nada
Cool thanks for this video
