I chat about my feelings on the Moog One having owned it a year and also program a patch from the initial setting. To follow soon will be some new sound subscribe for alerts! All rights reserved.
i am sure he has never thought about a sturdier stand. what does he know. He only spends but a few ... thousand hours playing.... Also the monitors are not placed like in the text book! Disgraceful!!! :-)
Moog One is BIG! If I'll get 10 grands to buy one then I'll need to rent a flat to make a studio with this synth. Or sell my big coach, put a big sturdy table in the corner and sleep somewhere on a mat :D
👆 this so many people commenting on synth videos "I need a better synth". Then seeing Matt play (insert whatever random synth), and bring out the best of it. It's baffling how a great player with a real feel of a synths strong points can make an instrument shine. I greatly enjoy these videos; they're very inspiring, and go way beyond "look how cool this filter can self-oscillate"
such a down to earth, chill and humble fellow in addition to his talent. Heck most artists of your magnitude don't care to reply to fan comments not to mention
Fantastic! Given your experience and your gear, you are one of the very few humans on this planet who can make videos about "Why you can make certain sounds on this and not on that". Bass, leads, pads, "rhythum Stevie Wonder" clavs etc. I would pick one of these standard sounds in a video each and try to make them on your OB-XA, OB-6, prophet 6, Model 6, J8, etc. and show the differences. Instant RU-vid stardom, and a service to lots of musicians (who might not have the real thing at hand but could still emulate them on VSTs). Keep up the good work!
Love that pedal bringing in the 2nd osc and filter. Very useful and musical. That Moog One deserves a stable stable stand. It bounces when you play it. Maybe swap out the Jupiter stand :-).
I'd love to see a walk-through of building the sound of the mellow "brassy" solo at the end. I love that style, and I've seen you use a similar patch on the minimoog
After demoing the M1 it becomes immediately evident that the 3 separate synths (3 Seq., 3 arp's, etc) that can all be played back from an external DAW midi sequencer is the power of this machine. With the 16 analog voices to divide between the synths, you could have bass (2 voices perhaps), brass, maybe 6 voices, and another 8 voices for a pad all playing back at once in real time via midi input. I demoed the new firmware V1.5 at it solves an earlier problem of the Moog not responding to external Expression-volume (CC11) and Sustain (CC64) which are both imperative to players. This alone should make this Moog more appealing to the players looking at this. Tested those, and they both worked well. And the midi playback from an external DAW midi sequencer was very tight not only with the drums from the computer but the parts in the Moog with each other were spot on and tight together.
Great video Matt. Really engaging and your playing is just fantastic. The pad/lead split sounds great. I’m still not sure about this synth though. Just something. However, on another note, I want that jacket! Very nice and would compliment any synth. Keep the videos coming please.
I have a Moog Matriarch and I get a little frustrated with running wires. I like the Moog One doesn't have that. Also, I really prefer Polyphonic to Paraphonic.
Again Matt thanks for another exquisite insight into a piece of gear most of us will never be fortunate enough to play with. I came to two conclusions watching firstly that you are one of my favourite players on the planet in any genre and along with someone like Richard Barbieri who you may know probably my favourite sound designer. Why you dont have a factory bank ill never know.
Fantastic, my impression after i checked other video is that the moog one is a pure pads, sound design machine. You can definitely make some nice basses out of it but , even if is a poly moog, monophonic are still the way to go for bass tones
Hi Matt! When you do the Pepsi challenge for how an instrument makes you "feel" between this video about the Moog One and another video you made about the Oberheim OBX-8 - it's night and day! LOL you can really tell you absolutely fell in love with the Oberheim instantly and your emotion feels genuine. In this video I got the impression you had serious buyers remorse about spending that much. I didn't sense your joy as much with this instrument. Would you say I'm right or no?
Hey, thanks for your videos. I guess without them I wouldn’t have gotten myself a Moog one. I ask myself if you would upload your patches. I really do enjoy them. Greetings from Germany
You have such a nice instrument and have great skills as a sound designer and musician. Now invest in a nice stand so that thing doesn't move so much when you play! : )
This thing is the new Jupiter 8. It has adjustable envelope curves but looking through the manual and the release notes for some of the later firmware it seems someone has already taken the time/trouble to setup classic Roland envelope curves for you already (as evidenced by Jupiter referenced stock patches). Adjustable envelope curves is the key if you want to emulate, well, any synth really. The envelopes have a large role to play.
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Yeah no worries. It's page 45 in the manual. I could never really get a Roland Juno/Jupiter style tone out of my Prophet 6 and it basically comes down to envelope curves. In the official Moog video they posted a little while ago they demo a few patches specifically aimed at emulating Jupiters/Junos so I assume someone must have worked out the right curves. Either that or stock envelopes already match the Jupiter style curves (Linear, logarithmic and exponential are possible but it's an adjust to taste kind of thing from 0 to 100% so in theory all possible curves should be doable). I think Moog might have been inspired by this feature from the Andromeda but it's a stroke of genius nonetheless.
I would honestly love one of these synths. 15k in my shitty Australian dollars is too big an ask unfortunately. It will have to remain a dream. Great vid btw.
Awesome! I could watch you make patches for hours haha. One thing I'm curious about: in the first year or two of it's release there was some bugs, do you feel like Moog has done a good job patching those up, or are there still some nagging bugs that affect your workflow? I'm still in the process of selling some less-used gear to buy my Moog One, but every time a new video comes out it gels my desire for one
Hello, Matt! I can only look at this synth in such great videos! :D Your "retro sci-fi" solos are great! What do you think about MFB Synth Pro? My personal opinion is that it's maybe a bit limited in terms of modulations and sadly has no pan spread of voices. But sounds very good IMO and has a great "stereo-filters" feature.
Nice, your demos are making me feel like the moog one actually sounds much better than previously thought. I'm totally sold on the feature set but not the sound character. What do you think the Jupiter excels at that the moog can't do / replicate?
Mine was hot, loud fan and out of tune in the lower keys. The effects like reverb were not very good. When I ran it through a Strymon pedal it was worlds better. Bought it on a holiday, the new year. Moog was closed down for a week. No customer service. After the holiday they never contacted me. I realized that it wasn't for me.
Antikythera Mechanism it seems that there has been a drop in quality since bob passed. I had a slim phatty, voyager and voyager RME and although the new products are innovative and sound good ..not the same build quality ..grandma and matriarch are examples of flimsy plastic buttons ....grandma would not track pitch so I sold it, the matriarch pots are noisy sometimes and pop or crackle when I turn then on occasion never had these issues with the voyager...I love the moog sound though and currently have the matriarch and will keep it, it has that iconic sound , let’s see where moog goes ....
Did you ever get more comfortable with the key bed? In your original video you mentioned the keyboard had some resistance / weighting that you weren’t fond of.. thanks Matt.... also, i would support a paid section / site if you go that route.. really enjoying your videos. Thank you.
I’d rather hear him play the Jupiter 8 .. but I’m biased as I owned one in the 80’s. Like the Memory back then this just doesn’t flip the right neurons for me. Could kick myself for ever letting my JP8 go ..
Hello I am at Point Blank Music School in London - would you consider doing an interview with me in the SSL studio about sound design in the next few weeks?
Cool shit. I heard they fucked up the gain staging on this one. My rev2 is gorgeous but I wish I could drive it a little bit more. Too bad they dont have another mode that allows you to drive the mixer more for that allows you to get that moog overdrive, mud and all. I get that moog was going for a cleaner poly sound but still, I want a big fucking moog fatness
Nice tones - I think less is often more with synth patches but you don't really see people doing that much as it's a competition to make the craziest patch. Do you find you use more than 8 voices very much? I like hearing you play two handed melodies rather than big brash chords - they can be just too bright and sharp and in your face on this synth. Stacking up everything just seems to create an impenetrably wall of sound like when a song has been massively brick wall limited.
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai I've been looking at more of the videos of the one lately as I'm trying to convince myself to buy it. It seems like they got the user interface perfect - intuitive ease of use combined with complexity of function and depth. It's kind of like a modular synth without the patch chords that's also polyphonic and multitimbral. I seem to learn much more about the basic tone of the instrument, oscillators and filter watching people design patches from scratch. Then it reminds me of something like a modern Moog like a voyager or sub 37 but without the saturation. I think I'm probably in the same boat as you hearing people use it in demos in a way that doesn't suit the sound you're looking to get from the instrument. Have you tried or heard the Baloran River? It seems kind of DIY unfinished in its interface and presentation - nowhere near as amazing a product as the one. However, the sound is really beautiful. Everything that comes out of it sounds like gold. Warmth and character.
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai Am I right in thinking of you use 2 stacked layers and play a 4 note chord you're out of voices already? Also if you have a long release and play 1 four note chord in a sequence and another one later in the sequence if the sound overlaps at any point you're also out of voices already.
A question about the one and it's multitimbrality -does *each* *"synth"* ha e 8 voices, or are the 8 (or 16) voices shared between the 3 "synths"? Like, if you used a big chord for one and latched it, would an arpreggiated section with another layer steal notes from the first? None of the literature makes this clear lol Love your work man
@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai well I guess that's the 4 thousand dollar question then lol, considering the 8 goes for about half what the 16 goes for used I appreciate the response and love the music man, never stop
