Benge shows us his Buchla 200e, Moog 3C, Serge Modular, ARP 2500, EMS VCS3 and Formant modular synthesizers at his amazing Memetune Studios in London, UK
I spoke to Bob Moog on the phone once and he answered the phone saying, "This is Bob Moog" and he pronounced it like, "Vogue". I heard that that was the reason for the Moog Rogue... sounds like Rogue. Roger is out here in N. California now... good man.
You're right. Moog is pronounced like Vogue. I knew Bob Moog when he was in Williamstown NY in the 70's and Roger Powell was the in-house musician playing with Todd Rundgren and later in North Carolina in the 90's.
Yes I know, I've met the man. But he named them ARP not A.R.P. I think it was an early UK sales rep who got it wrong. He might have been trying to disassociate them from the old ARP Wardens from WWII. Especially since Dad's Army was on TV back then and had an ARP Warden as the main rival and "bad guy".
Why do so many Brits pronounce ARP as A.R.P.? If you want to hear what a 2500 can do listen to the opening of Elton John's Funeral for a Friend. David Hentschel did an amazing job on the opening.
Benge owns a synth nerd's dream studio and works regularly with the legend that is John Foxx. I work in a factory. I know who has the better deal here.
Is it just me or did everyone of his sound clips sound like something from perhaps the last Depeche Mode Album or the new one coming up. I could almost hear David Gahan singing over the clips. ;-)
digital camera.... it's the charm of working with instruments like this. Most of the time why would you want to repeat the same patch? just record what you do and move on..
Because not everyone can afford Massive, music creation is not all about using only certain synths, it's all about using whatever gets the sounds you're after, if it happens to be Massive great more power to you, if it happens to be a vintage Moog System 55 synth, great, it's not all about what you use but how you use it, the reason why music sounds so homogenized today is that everyone uses the same gear and copies from everyone else because they want to be the same as the latest chart-topping act, which I think is futile.
No it's not. It sounds like Vogue. I owned a System 55 in the late 1970's. Bob hated everyone calling the systems Moooog, but they did anyway. Really, you should do some homework before acting like a noob.
When I die. I'm back as a ghost and haunting that place. That's heaven right there...

My God what a collection!

Love these reviews!
the modular in the cover is a Formant modular.
building a modular and this just inspires me to finish it quicker
Wow! I want some modular stuff now...
a tip: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Mohammad Esteban Yea, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
@Mohammad Esteban Definitely, have been using flixzone for since december myself :D
In the studio with Benge coming up?

I wish I had hardware synths like him.
Is it just me or did everyone of his sound clips sound like something from perhaps the last Depeche Mode Album or the new one coming up. I could almost hear David Gahan singing over the clips. ;-)
When you get a patch you like on the Serge, how do you document it for future use?
What's the synthesizer in the video thumbnail, seen on the far right of the frame at the very beginning of the video?
Synth Dragon, prancing around the caves of electronic treasure.
Fantastic machine.......
Amazing :D
what's all this then? I rather fancy your synth really. so this was made in the states?
the houseplants are cool too :-)
Moog rhymes with vogue and rogue.
amonster8mymother not neccesarily. Dr Moog said he is happy with Mow-g and Moo-g.
Does anyone making music with such synths anymore ? I wonder
RP was always one hell of a good keyboard man. He had to be just to hang with Todd.
Wow, he must be a billionaire! :)

Neumann microphones, I've owned 271 of them. Pronounced "Noyman"
Perhaps you should refrain from calling people idiots until you learn.
fun
so 70's
That's what I thought but then I heard that it's a German name and that's why it's pronounced differently
Moog is actually a Dutch surname.
Alan Robert Pearlman
I believe Newman is a salad dressing. :o)
he's very jittery hmm?
help me ... i want 2 visite u .... very ...very nice
kind of,..
buchla is actually pronounced “baklava.”
Stop all this childish quarreling about some names.Just enjoy this nice video! Thanx!
Future music could be renamed Industrial Muzak .. Always behind the times and almost always peddling gear via celebrities ...
deadmau5 for example
why not use MASSIVE???? that roland has got 11 oscillators massive has 3....grow up.
Because not everyone can afford Massive, music creation is not all about using only certain synths, it's all about using whatever gets the sounds you're after, if it happens to be Massive great more power to you, if it happens to be a vintage Moog System 55 synth, great, it's not all about what you use but how you use it, the reason why music sounds so homogenized today is that everyone uses the same gear and copies from everyone else because they want to be the same as the latest chart-topping act, which I think is futile.

it’s pronounced “nobe”
.....Wow .....blind,
3 kittens dead. Your fault.
Hahahahaha.... you just got OWNED by someone who actually knew Bob Moog. Perhaps this is fake: /watch?v=UDN-y0QQ7cs
