Haha yeah it’s cool. So far I find it’s been easier to get percussion grooves out of it more than anything melodically useful, but I’m sure I’ll get the complete hang of it eventually. Fun little box though. Btw, love your vids, man! Thanks for dropping by!
@fertilesound, I believe the sale happened largely because of a number of bad management decisions and component costs. Moog really failed at implementing an intuitive way to change firmware settings in a standalone way for synths like the Grandmother and Matriarch, and also made design decisions that prevented them from implementing a settings app for Win/Mac and Android / IOS deices that would sync up with the synths. Plus the costs of components were getting too high for them to make ends meet. Apparently they overbought certain components that was really hurting their cash flow too. I think it took too long for Moog to produce new and unique synths. it got to be really slow for a long time. Since they were and somewhat still are a premium brand, I would expect them to have brought more new modules in the Mother family of Eurorack synths out to the market. What they're doing with the Spectravox and Labyrinth is awesome, but I wonder if the Muse will really bring much new to the table since it's apparently based on the Matriarch voices and the price is substantially higher than even the Arturia Polybrute 6, which offers much more in terms of modulation options.
The placement of some of the knobs and decision of large vs small had me scratching my head. Why is U mix a large knob and decays and cv range small? And decays are awkwardly next to the patch bay. Thats really my only gripe with this synth - but jeez its annoying
Either they accidentally omitted user testing, it wasn't in the roadmap, not in the budget, or simply put, UX and usability are not within ther interest.
I like your ranting because you took the words right out of my mouth. And I miss a printed manual, I hate that fumbling with a file on the screen.
Me too man, thanks for stopping by!
16:58 I noticed it on my subharmonicon last week. It's pretty fun to tweak parameters with the cable only like this.
That's awesome man! Yeah, it really adds a "3rd dimension" to these synths that is not obvious or advertised.
That's the only way to start. We posted our first experience too. Crazy thing. Love it.
Nice video.. where did you get the replacement knobs?
Thanks! You can get the knobs directly from Moog, or I think any of their retailers.

@@fertilesound_ Sweetwater page says they're no longer available. B&H still has some.
Hello! How do I change the root note of a musical scale in Moog Labyrinth?
Turn the SEQ1 CV RANGE knob fully counterclockwise. Then you can tune the VCO FREQUENCY to the root note of your scale.
AI can't make hardware and use it so hardware is awesome!
Hardware over software
@@CVinyl all day
Whats ur honest thoughts on this after playing around with it?? Give it to me straight now filter ( like the synth)

DFAM?
It’s not a ladder filter.
Correct. That’s what I said.

Interesting, I had not heard that before but it makes sense. Thanks for your comment!

Exactly! Right?
Either they accidentally omitted user testing, it wasn't in the roadmap, not in the budget, or simply put, UX and usability are not within ther interest.
Why even mention AI, you’re giving it a credibility it doesn’t have
I wish you were right, but recent developments indicate otherwise.
