What a great presentation! No endless descriptions of the sound or talk about the specs, just letting the thing talk for itself. Was pleasantly surprised to see Patricia participate.
Could be a Big Sky. Lots of Shimmer reverb in the demo - I feel like if you're demoing a synth, Shimmer should be 100% out of the question, since it adds harmonics that don't exist in the original material.
+cuckoomusic It's official folks, If Cuckoo approves it is absolutely worth investing in one! If you don't believe me go and watch his videos and listen to his music please :)
RellyAlexander He he.. I approve :) It sounds really nice. That high quality Moog sound. And it seems to play nice too. Semi modular and all. Nice! Looking forward to testing it! Certainly an interesting entry by Moog. As an Elektron user though I've gotten spoilt by the much "deeper" usability side of Elektron's systems. But it's an Elektron thing. Shouldn't compare them directly. They both seem to have their own strengths.
Cuckoo if you could get a elektron digitone or this which do you think would be the better buy? I like making sounds like you hear in this demo plus quirky stuff with interesting rhythms and gorgeous melodies. So my idea was to get one off these and a Moog Minitaur Analogue Bass Synthesizer Module and just jam with them to make some amazing sounds! I spoke to you awhile ago and you told me you weren't 100% Happy with some off your elektron gear. cheers mate Nathan...
This video is well produce and very effective at demoing the Mother-32. Thank you. Sounds and looks great. Love the overlay illustrations explaining whats going on instead of a voice narration. Very effective work guys. Kudos to the director.
Wow, actually better than I initially expected ...if that's even possible with a Moog. oh, and once again, congratz to the video production crew. It's comprehensive, deep with details while still entertaining.
Awesome mini-modular, Moog! Great choice to make the sound engine all-analog, in this era of mostly digital analog-style synths. Loved the sound demos; that music at the beginning reminded me a lot of old Gary Numan. Honestly, I wouldn't have expected Moog Music to keep kicking butt so amazingly after Bob's passing, but you guys certainly are!
Everything about this is so beautifully done! The video production and infographics, the sounds and sequences created by these three relatively unknown artists (hey Moog, why didn't you ask me to contribute to the video! Come on!) and of course, the Mother-32 itself. Based on the few down votes, it's obvious that some people don't get what this is about, but to me, this is a near perfect synth to have that Moog sound in a compact, hands-on package for live use... and oh, you can also integrate it into a Eurorack system if you want. Brilliant! Even though I already have the Sub 37 (see my videos for demos) the Mother 32 will be perfect for me when I'm doing smaller live sets and I don't want to have to drag out all of my full size keyboards. They only thing that I don't like about it, as others have mentioned, is the fact that I am back to be a starving artist these days, and I can only afford one instead of three! But eventually, I will get three... well done Moog Music.
+Genshi Media Group Heh, thanks to completely unexpected yet very fortunate circumstances, I actually do have three of the Mother-32s on their way to me right now. Should be here in two days! Demos will ensue.
Wooooawww!!! Here we are,low price for this wonderful Moog semi modular!!! Thanks a lot,to you Moog people!!! Thanks to yooo! Happy new year!...im gonna buy 3!!!
What a lovely sound ...looks like Moog have entered the Euro market in fine style, and actually knowing what they're doing. I really like how the modulation capabilities increase exponentially with every unit added. I still have so many questions, but on the face of it, this looks totally awesome to me.
My first synth was a Roland Gaia SH-01 I got when I was 15 and didn’t even know there was a difference between analog and digital synths. I’ve used it for years but today’s my 21st birthday and my parents got me an Arturia Microbrute which will be my first analog synthesizer and I couldn’t be more excited. I know that one day I will own a piece of Moog hardware but I’ll have to save a long time with as little money I make lol.
Thank you David! I wasn't trolling. You have contributed to my learning on synths. I appreciate the insight. I come from a strong straight strings/keys background so this is new territory for me. It looks and sounds amazing!
Matt Cellitti indeed yes. My only complaint is that there is no recognition or credit given to the effects used. A new purchaser may think you actually could reproduce these sounds with the m32 alone
Thank you SO MUCH for again featuring female artists, you don't know how inspiring it is to see women, using their knowledge and experience and not being required to sex it up. It makes me feel a part of some thing rather than apart from it.
Try this setting for 808 kick and cool snare Noise (out) -> Mix CV KB (out) -> VCF Cutoff LFO Square (out) -> VCF Res Gate (out) -> VCO Mod EG (out) -> LFO Rate -Cutoff a little under half -Resonance at maximum -VCF mode is lowpass -LFO cranked at maximum -Attack cranked at maximum -Decay under half -Mix is all noise For the sequence, F-1 is the bass kick F-8 is the snare drum
Damn, these are really well programmed and great sounding examples of a new MOOG I am more interested in synths like the mother-32 than any digital copies which are hip these days.... AND I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE!!! IT is an outstanding piece of SYNTH, Thanks to Moog!
+VolcaRock And then you'll turn all of your new songs into MP3 files. Methinks it's the KNOBS, not the underlying technology that make the difference, for the most part. And if MOOG is astute enough to make use of pots instead of mechanical rotary encoders (or they use optical ones), that would be a huge plus in its favor-- a lot of the more digital makers, such as Korg and Elektron, use cheap Chinese made mechanical rotary encoders that oxidize and start getting noisy within about 6 months of purchase. That stuff is crap and MOOG ought to tout the fact they use better quality components (assuming they always do), as that would be a huge selling point in my book, and good differentiation from the competition.
Syncopator I am planning to upload some of my later tracks on soundcloud, sure one day I will find the time :-) I have newer stuff from Elektron and Korg. Until now I never had problems but my vintage machines have much more massive knobs and faders and feel like Boutique-Machines compared to the newer stuff. I never had an Moog, so I hope that the mechanic is as good as you described, because I did a pre-order right now :-).
Wow Solar Rise will be the reason why i get this synth so i can make something like this :D finally a affordable semi modular synth that is affordable, and has legendary sounds.
Same here! Thought it was a well known tune but it turns out I have watched this vid once or twice before. No surprise they used this wonderful sequence for the outro...
I was thinking about getting the sub 37 but now I really have to consider this awesome piece of gear! It seems to be a lot cheaper and it's closer to what I really want.
Chris Strobel it's more alive than ever. Dive in and enjoy as you did in the 70s/80s. For me that totally works, breathing it just as much as when I was young. Get lost in sound!
I love this video. Absolutely great ambience! Unfortunately, at the time of it’s release, I only had the money to buy a doepfer dark energy. I might buy one still.
Hey, I JUST bought a Sub 37 (needless to say, I'm psyched) how do you foresee this thing working with the 37? I take it they are patchable via CV for tempo syncing, but how else could you get them to play together?
+Kevin Hannon I already considered getting one to use with my sequencer. you could use it with the sequencer of the sub 37. I got a big Doepfer for this purpose and still think about getting the sub 37. using VC to sync them. Anyway the moog sounds are great together. Aim to use it together wth my Voyager
Hey moog, I'm playing this in 240p on laptop speakers and I'm loving the complex harmonic content, keep it up!
Ha, superb comment! Agree with you!
What a great presentation! No endless descriptions of the sound or talk about the specs, just letting the thing talk for itself. Was pleasantly surprised to see Patricia participate.
you got me at complex harmonic content
I don't really know what it means but it sounds cool
THAT Robo Koto sequence by Max Ravitz ( 4:28 ) Blew my mind!
+Ivan Butorac dude.....to me 3:09 did it for me....
dude samee!
Bob Moog would be seriously proud!!!! Well done guys
Great demonstration of Eventide reverb! LOL
Thank you. I was wondering what was going on with that. (The Mother 32 sounds great.. but the verb is a huge factor in most of these demos)
Are they using a reverb? I'm honestly asking.
Sounds more like a Lexicon to me.. I hope there is a knob to turn the reverb down a bit :-)
@@ericjohnson1811 Certainly a delay or reverb. You can notice the ambient sound of a note linger for quite a long time.
Could be a Big Sky. Lots of Shimmer reverb in the demo - I feel like if you're demoing a synth, Shimmer should be 100% out of the question, since it adds harmonics that don't exist in the original material.
Elektron, watch it! ;-) This sounds nice! Moog, great work!
+cuckoomusic It's official folks, If Cuckoo approves it is absolutely worth investing in one! If you don't believe me go and watch his videos and listen to his music please :)

+cuckoomusic Which electron? XD
+cuckoomusic OMG Cuckoo YES,I Fell in love again! what am i gonna do, just told myself elektron+korg and nothing more, but now......
Cuckoo if you could get a elektron digitone or this which do you think would be the better buy?

+Patrick Manderson Yep. Agreed! VERY nice video... Good job Moog!
7:15 is just beautiful, I could listen to that all day... replayed already several times
That last piece solo rise has definitely been responsible for helping me fall back in love with synths and moog
Wow, actually better than I initially expected ...if that's even possible with a Moog.
oh, and once again, congratz to the video production crew. It's comprehensive, deep with details while still entertaining.
Yay, a synth demo where they demo the sounds properly instead of talking the whole damn time. Sounds great. I'm intrigued.
Those bell tones.. WOW.
Awesome mini-modular, Moog! Great choice to make the sound engine all-analog, in this era of mostly digital analog-style synths. Loved the sound demos; that music at the beginning reminded me a lot of old Gary Numan.

Melody starting at 4:26 is just gorgeous!
Erika's Sequence and sound was a beast! Sounded like the theme of the next best Horror movie!
Very cool 'mega-module' and really great job on the demo, sounds awesome!
Wooooawww!!! Here we are,low price for this wonderful Moog semi modular!!! Thanks a lot,to you Moog people!!! Thanks to yooo! Happy new year!...im gonna buy 3!!!

omg yes!
+RAC ditto! We already filled up 2 cases, time to start on a third!
+The Wakz
...about to move into that tent then?
No way it's you +RAC
Amazing little synth. Gotta love how that VC mix at 0:53 isn't patched to anything.
That moog Stuff is so excellent! Everytime i hear a Moog, i catches me and does not unleashes me
Thank you David! I wasn't trolling. You have contributed to my learning on synths. I appreciate the insight. I come from a strong straight strings/keys background so this is new territory for me. It looks and sounds amazing!
Excellent moog! You have our attention yet again. Great demonstration. Your machines as well as your marketing is top notch.
Amazing way to demo a product. Well done
Matt Cellitti indeed yes. My only complaint is that there is no recognition or credit given to the effects used. A new purchaser may think you actually could reproduce these sounds with the m32 alone
Thank You. This video caused me to buy 3 mother-32 to satisfy my addiction.
Moog! This is Another Fine Myth you've gotten us into! Soon to be a Legend! Beautiful Engineering! Bob would be Proud!
It's been days and I can't shake Erika's Solar Rise piece out of my head! Gorgeous sound. Will it see a release I wonder?
Max Ravitz,Erika,Bana Haffar.....SIETE DEI GRANDI ARTISTI !!!!! Un saluto caloroso dall'Italia Venezia !!!!!!
Solar Rise by Erika is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
This is just delicious. Very nice work, Moog.
That intro sounds beautiful!
Hell yes! What the world has been waiting for. Sounds lovely!
can't wait for moog audio to stock these!!
Sounds fantastic. Really, really nice. Some great possibilities with just one unit. Really excited about this after watching this video.
Oh my... Look at that little beauty... Crystal clear sound... Love at first sight :-)
Thank you SO MUCH for again featuring female artists, you don't know how inspiring it is to see women, using their knowledge and experience and not being required to sex it up. It makes me feel a part of some thing rather than apart from it.
Try this setting for 808 kick and cool snare
Noise (out) -> Mix CV
KB (out) -> VCF Cutoff
LFO Square (out) -> VCF Res
Gate (out) -> VCO Mod
EG (out) -> LFO Rate
-Cutoff a little under half
-Resonance at maximum
-VCF mode is lowpass
-LFO cranked at maximum
-Attack cranked at maximum
-Decay under half
-Mix is all noise
For the sequence,
F-1 is the bass kick
F-8 is the snare drum
I really liked Solar Rise by Erika. It sounded really dreamy and atmospheric through my headphones.
I've watched this video like 6 times since yesterday. Even played it in the car ;) I suppose that means Ill be getting one...or two....or three.
It was about time!!!
Good to see Moog coming back. It sounds good. It's a shame that has only one oscillator
I love these sounds
goose bumps...awesome!!!! the Moog synthesizers are the best
Very well presented video, and the sounds and patches from all three were gorgeous
This video opens with the same chord progression as The Cure's "A Forest" I'm sold
Damn, these are really well programmed and great sounding examples of a new MOOG
I am more interested in synths like the mother-32 than any digital copies which are hip these days....
AND I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE!!! IT is an outstanding piece of SYNTH,
Thanks to Moog!
+VolcaRock Yeah, I think I'll be emailing my local shop to place a pre-order. :-)
KWHCoaster I had the same thought, but I try to wait until its there to check it out first.
+VolcaRock And then you'll turn all of your new songs into MP3 files. Methinks it's the KNOBS, not the underlying technology that make the difference, for the most part. And if MOOG is astute enough to make use of pots instead of mechanical rotary encoders (or they use optical ones), that would be a huge plus in its favor-- a lot of the more digital makers, such as Korg and Elektron, use cheap Chinese made mechanical rotary encoders that oxidize and start getting noisy within about 6 months of purchase.

I never had an Moog, so I hope that the mechanic is as good as you described, because I did a pre-order right now :-).
+VolcaRock I think it's Eurorack that's hip these days...
ORDERED....looking forward to having two of these
That damn robo koto is so damn good.
Thanks I saw it straight after I posted so its must buy for me
Im gonna do a three tear rack for sure. Sounds very nice. Nice work Moog!
Excellent. What a glorious Rich and Palpable sound.
OMG thank you MOOG
Intriguing. It shows a lot of fantastic sound possibilities!
Nice work Max! Mah man!
Holy shit Patricia demoing Moog gear! Sick
I cannot believe Moog make this synth for this price (well, I saw the price in dollars, I hope there won0t be penalties in Europe)! Good on you, Moog!
With that price it's a steal. I feel like raiding my savings account so I can get 3 of them in a rack. I'd be poor but modularly happy.
My Money!!!! NOOOO!!!!
+SpinalCorotica hehehe!!
+SpinalCorotica Basically how I feel as well.
Best comment ever. And so true.
the first minute spoke to my soul
Kudos on the rack of 3. One just isn't enough now!
holy fuck the opening and closing "Solar Rise" patch nearly made me tear up when i turn my volume way up..powerful!!!!
WOW, beautiful demo!
What a nice tone!
The first music piece is really really good!
Wow, beautiful demo!
Is this what love feels like?
+GreyThe SocarticGames
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
+songs481 Like tears in the rain.
+GreyThe SocarticGames This is much much deeper than love
+GreyThe SocarticGames it is!!
+GreyThe SocarticGames Jesus.. you couldn't have summed it up better.. The sounds of this thing just tuned the rest of life out.
fkn cool demo. I'm sitting here digging the intro song. nice one moog.
Just -32 cents down and I could listen to these videos forever!
This is just beautiful!
Nice sound as always, I want one!
Wow Solar Rise will be the reason why i get this synth so i can make something like this :D finally a affordable semi modular synth that is affordable, and has legendary sounds.
Can't wait for mine!!!
I have no idea what any of these words mean but I love reading them while listening to this stuff.
Solar Rise | Erika, got me sold with that epic tune.
Same here! Thought it was a well known tune but it turns out I have watched this vid once or twice before. No surprise they used this wonderful sequence for the outro...
Very nice! Sounds great.
love that sound at 5.26
This is super cool thank you for the explanation graphics
Wonderful general theme
I was thinking about getting the sub 37 but now I really have to consider this awesome piece of gear! It seems to be a lot cheaper and it's closer to what I really want.
Very nice reverb!
Really inspiring demos!
Sounds great!
awsome can't wait to pre order mine
It's just beautiful. And there's a slight chance I could afford one!
This is what I am getting for Xmas.
I'd be interested in finding out what other effects were used in this video, either way, am excite.
Great video and cool sounding demo's, but I had my fill of pure analog synths all throughout the 70's and 80's and have never looked back.
Chris Strobel it's more alive than ever. Dive in and enjoy as you did in the 70s/80s. For me that totally works, breathing it just as much as when I was young. Get lost in sound!
Robert Moogs dream's still carry on, love it ~
Once again, The Master's deliver!Hey ROLAND, are you watching this?Real, NOT VIRTUAL ANALOG!!!
stop bashing VA's for nothing. it's a different sound for a different purpose. i really hate the JD-XA/XI too though....
+Dj Thrift
What about System 500?
if its analog I dig it, if not, then I bash it.
Dj Thrift
Oh. That's idiotic.
Analog has a deeper and richer sound, bottom line.
this looks nice and sounds great
yes! content feeling!
I love this video. Absolutely great ambience! Unfortunately, at the time of it’s release, I only had the money to buy a doepfer dark energy. I might buy one still.
I really wonder what reverb was used in this demo
4 years and still no answer. Nice going Moog.
All the reverb
Definitely some kind of shimmer reverb. Maybe Big Sky or Eventide.
Eventide space. Blackhole algo
And i"m now just looking around to buy new synth with sequencer:) The choice is obvious now:)
Amazing Sound !
Listen at 3:10... This is the same arpeggio & tone as NIN All time low. AWESOME. Pre- Ordered!
Late to the party but really enjoyed this. Going to see what I can do now with my two M32's.
CV straight into Sub 37 = bought!
Hey, I JUST bought a Sub 37 (needless to say, I'm psyched) how do you foresee this thing working with the 37? I take it they are patchable via CV for tempo syncing, but how else could you get them to play together?
+Kevin Hannon I already considered getting one to use with my sequencer. you could use it with the sequencer of the sub 37. I got a big Doepfer for this purpose and still think about getting the sub 37. using VC to sync them. Anyway the moog sounds are great together. Aim to use it together wth my Voyager
+Kevin Hannon Also I presume it has a midi in.
