The way you explain and showcase gear is truly beyond everyone else. It has structure, feels complete and is easy to follow. Your videos are the only ones I’m going out feeling I actually got an idea what something does.
First time I’ve come across your channel. Your approach is superb. The amount of work going into each point is clearly way beyond what anyone else is doing. No fluff, no filler, all punchy, meaningful, relatable and understandable. I am taken aback at the quality. Thank you.
Very good review... I have been trying to get more info on this unique little synth...I have now seen enough to pull the trigger and get one... thank you Ma'am... And all that sounds like this... so beautiful...
I used to own 2 M32s before the rest of the family were a thing. Great sounding, too expensive for what they did, but the filters were great. Now if I had have gone that route, it would have been an interesting affair, just the format did not suit my work flow. Still I love that Moog have brought more of these out, they really do work well with each other, or other gear as you have shown. Thx for the upload.
Another happy landing! I had the MF-104Z Analog delay and 2/3 MOOG EXP pedals for Delay and Feedback. The third was for the MIX, so you make choices with a pedal that has 3 EXP inputs. Such amazing stuff. So happy you two got one and are having a good time. Bob Moog continues to bless us all. Cheers!🌏🌍🌎👍😃
as far as I can tell, this is all just black magic. "Just add a frog's eye and it sounds like this. But if you add ram's blood, you get this instead" 🤣
I've held off going down the sequencing rabbit hole for a long time but this could be the gateway drug that gets me hooked. Damn you Emily what hast thou wrought 🤔
Great demo. Not my favorite form of synthesis but I appreciate when it’s extremely well demonstrated! Great job showcasing the Labyrinth’s potential. This honestly blew me away and I bet in another week, I will order one 😂
Hey Emily Hopkins and Russ! The harp may be the prominent medium you create with but you really are a highly skilled composer. Thanks for all the wonderful audio. It helps me drift away into a positive space when I really need it! Ride ride ride!
Look up Canadian composer David Kristian, he released an album back in 1998 called, “Beneath the Valley of the Modulars” that has songs that sound like this Moog… of course he was working with ‘90s synths (and vintage gear) back then.
Awesome video! I would love to see what this can do when paired with the Subharmonicon. I’ve had that thing for a while and still not sure what to do with it.
They should have a setup like this for background music at malls or Walmarts. Just put it out by the customer service desk and let people wander by and turn the knobs every once in a while.
As someone who has used plugins all my life, I was used to listening to synths in my DAW. But when I played a Moog bass synth my grandpa had, it was insane how "alive" it felt! It's like the sound was ACTUALLY in the room. Since then, Ive always enjoyed people who use physical synths in their music
I tell you s little trick: connect your damn computer to proper speakers…8”..12” studio monitor. Voila: suddenly playing soft synth will feel alive as if it’s in the room.
I'm a software developer who has worked on codebases with over 1 million lines, and I think this thing is too complex for me. 😅 This Harp Lady must be some kind of genius!
I just thought of it, but I havn't much thought into the how of it ....but a MIDI output on a Harp, that would be a trip to pull off. I would have to study guitar to MIDI pickups and electronics. but I think one would start with a piezo under each string, to circuitry to convert to MIDI on/off and velocity. ( but really, there are probably enough MIDI controllers for anyone to adapt to already ......and doing harp would be way worse for all the strings ) Moog EDIT; oh, sequence randomize .. a little better than 8 / 16 step then
Moog Mavis KIT !!! ...I stopped by the website, and Moog has a semi-modular KIT!! single saw square morph oscillator with pwm ... but it has a wave folder ... looks like minimal assembly, sort of pop together with no soldering.
Wondering Why?! Patch cables arent yet made with twice extra length wires with (safety tough secured ends) and_ Wrapped Around an Elastic Core'_ While Covered in Elastic Fabric'_ So to Literally Stretch 'Maybe' up to Twice as Long in reach? To Eliminate all the Extra Slack in the Cables?!'
Thanks so much! You can set the sequencers to have three steps, or mess with the accents enough that it can feel like triplets! I’m sure with some patching, it’s possible as well. Let me think about this for a bit!
I'm old school and havey Yamaha RX-7 Drum Machine from early 90's, and it's got traditional and extra effects and sounds and not random, I guess I like non-random ,🤔 , just keeps things in the math 😊, TC ❤️ 🌸🫂🎸🤠
I would get a Korg SQ-64 .... I mean 16 steps is not enough, honestly .... for some CV destinations, sure 8 or 16...but it's just ridiculous being that limited overall. the SQ-64 has CV outs, and MIDI...so you can sequence anything with one.
do a video of you putting together a Moog Mavis. this is better than pedals, I have all my pedals now ... even though i am mainly a guitarist, I am more known as a synthesist yet. EDIT: k, I am subbed for the synths.
I mean no disrespect and love your work, but did you try to plug your harp into the wavefolder and filter inputs, start the sequencers and play along with it? The Modular is one big super pedal.
No, that’s mainstream, corporate, derivative pop. Businessmen harnessing technology to sell mediocre sh!t to the masses, while wresting control from actual artists.
@@dankeplace Unfortunately I only got a short distance in. Emily can tell ya, I'm only rarely around here. I used to watch many peoples videos about new gear, including hers, always. I also frequently showed up for her streams, and sent my share of super chats. This isn't an attack on anyone, so, no need to come here and try to embarrass me. You won't. I'm burned out on these kind of videos, in general. And often, until recently, they would provoke my GAS. Then, while I should have been learning great ways to use much of my newer gear, I was still hunting for more new and fun gear. I don't need to buy more gear, atm, and watching this stuff sometimes just makes me impulse spend on yet more new gear, when it's probably not the best decision at that moment.. I make music with electronics, not purchase gear professionally. I want to see more videos from folks like Emily that dig deeper in the work, not forever be introducing brand-new hardware, like it's just an advertisement for a manufacturer's new piece of hardware. What's most tiring, is seeing the same big set of YT gear influencers all releasing videos about the exact same piece of new gear, all within a day or two. Now, when not working on music, I like to watch others work on music, or teach us something special about music/gear history. Like many of Dr. Mix, Anthony Marinelli, Alex Ball, and others more often do, over selling us on a new tool. They all do that too, but it's mostly just on occasion, instead of frequently.
You said drum sounds. I heard fart sounds... Seriously, this ain't Moogs brightest moment. I understand making content, but If it was me I would have to say no thanks. Can't do it.
@emilyharpist2 Oh, I am a subbed viewer, love everything about your vids, your quirkyness that is so genuine and unabashed. Absolutely one of my faves on YTube. I too have the DFAM, MOTHER 32 AND THE SUBHARMONICON... ANYWAY TO EACH HIS OWN. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS USED IN A COMPOSITION. ALLTHE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL. APOLOGIES IF I CAME ACROSS TOO NEGATIVELY.
It’s not so much that it’s generative or WC, it’s that the tone/filters sound weak/garbage. Just an opinion. Maybe it sounds great, by ‘modern (semi-)modular standards’.
Excellent work, and a very interesting review. I can't think why anyone would buy one except from marketing pressure. It's clearly a load of sh*t. Anyone remember the Circuit Bent period of synthesis? Like when sh*t synths cost $5 and you had fun screwing them up with resistors and capacitors? This is almost a hoax product surely?
Great video✨always enjoy your content. Seen a bunch of vids on this And have come to conclusion not digging the labyrinth. Think it sounds weak and not very exciting compared to all their other stuff. Been waiting for the Muse hoping it’s amazing.
