In this video, we take a look at the history and sound of 4 of the most iconic synthesizer filters of all time - from Moog, ARP, Oberheim, and Korg. Read More & Shop Classic Synths on Reverb: bit.ly/3OBZ7uG #reverb #moog #synth
The Steiner VCF (by Nyle Steiner) was a very unique design. He designed a "multimode" filter using diodes as voltage controlled resistors. He designed it with three inputs, low pass, high pass, and band pass, with one output rather than the more typical one input with three outputs. The unique feedback gave it an edge not found in the other filters. When I was talking to Nyle about it, he explained he didn't want to just copy an existing filter topology. He wanted something unique, and he certainly did it!
That warm, rich, sound quality of the Moog, 24db, low-pass always and to this still remains my absolute favorite. It was Wendy Carlos’s SOB that did that to me as a grade school child. I could not get enough of it from that point forward which start my on a life-long love of all synthesizers and synthesized music.
@j s Sorry dude, but you are just wrong. She may have once been a man but, after her sex change operation and hormonal treatments, she indeed became a woman complete with female genitalia. I'm sorry your small-mindedness can't see past your preconceived notions of what makes a person male or female, or anything else for that matter, but facts are facts: she is now female.
As much as I fell in love with the ms20 filter, nothing compares to the warmth and versatility of the moog ladder filter. Between the moogerfooger and grandma and werkstatt, I love combining all of them to create wild filter combos
I had a Minimoog and now have a ROLAND SE 02. A lot of people rave about the Moog filter, but I definitely prefer filters implemented in synths by Oberheim, ARP, Korg, and Roland, over the Moog sound. At this point, I wish synth manufacturers would give us synths with at least 3 filters.
Those are all great for sure but at the moment i'm deep in love with Roland filters, their very "liquid" quality that other brands don't have (or at least not the same). Interesting video anyway !
hi why did you skip Roland the 303 filter very unique and hard to imitate.Or how about the juno6 filter the best filter implementation on an analog poly.
I’m guessing it was a Minimoog model B. Bob Moog lent him one (and never got it back), while the Minis were still in the testing phase. So, it was a Model B, not the vaunted Model D.
@@logicalblackman8228 Thanks for the info. I recently read about the Model B that Bob Moog lent or gave him. Apparently, Sun Ra pawned it, but the pawn shop burnt down. So that was the end of that one! The song and album I'm talking about is from 1978, so I think that might be too late for the Model B.
@@christopher_ecclestone Burned down?Geez, that’s TERRIBLE!!!! Yeah, the Model D was well into production by 78, and, of course, many other synths, as well. Sorry, I couldn’t be of more help, but thanks for that info about the Pawn Shop. I gotta look into that more.
@@logicalblackman8228 No problem. Thanks for replying. If memory serves, I think I might have read about that in Electronic Sound magazine. There was an Issue where the main feature was about the 50th anniversary of the Mini Moog. I'm sure Google knows too!
The WASP filter designed by Chris Hugget and used in the Electronic Dream Plant (EDP) Wasp Synth. This design is also available in Doepfer's A-124 Eurorack module.
Its very bright when open, on a vintage moog. Many never ones and clones, are muffled though. But you need to compare a good implementation. The original minimoog is one of the brightest synths ever, its crystal clear. Same with the Prodigy. The Voyager and Little Phatty however, are muffled.
@@henrikstolpe it is not about brightness, but about holding a resonance, arp 2600 and rolands filters are much more tasty at high resonances, they are make more bell sound rather than moog's whistle. That's why when using moogs you are kind of a forced to stick with low resonance pillowy style, while other filters push you to use the whole spectrum.
@@77advanced I agree that for instance the juno 6/60 filter has a very sweet resonance but the minimoog also has an amazing warm moving sheen, very far from a whistle that other moogs have, as its really overdriven. But I do understand what you are getting at, I usually use other filters than the moog as they almost always (the mini is different) have more interesting resonance. Polivoks is my favourite filter actually ;) And I love the SH-101 implementation of the Roland chip, the WASP filter is another favourite, and of course the Korg MS-10/20 LP!
@@henrikstolpeI had an original Minimoog and didn’t really care for the sound compared to sound of synths by ARP, Roland, Korg and Oberheim. I guess it all comes down to a matter of taste. I don’t really care for the way Moog’s sit in a mix or for their postmodern woke marketing.
The current RU-vid obsession of facing the wrong camera makes me stop and go elsewhere. Yeah. We can see that you've got two cameras. Congratulations. How about learning to use them properly ?
