10:44 That singing bit is actually useful, I really liked that more for vocal as you've shown! It reminds me of an old AM radio in my parent's cars/trucks when I was younger. Guitar would be useful to have something like this to age the sound a bit as well. I'm sure someone will have need for it!
I (Guitar player for many years) just bought my first analog synth and THIS video helped explain how the modules work better than many other videos. wow
Cool video for sure. Vocal processing is really interesting and deserves it's own video tho! Still waiting for a demo of percussive loops to get the GM to double as a drum machine :)
I’ve been using my model D for this at my church gig. Using its resonant high pass filter to be modulated to taste by 2 different oscillators at different waves and speeds, as well as using the keyboard tracking with simple arps. All with dripping delay, phasing and/or flanging. I need a fucking Synthi with CV pedals for everything!!!
I actually did tune it believe it or not lol. I think I need to fix the guitar somehow cause even when every string is in tune, sometimes playing open chords sounds out of tune. I'm a piano player, so I'm less familiar with what might be the problem. I'll do some googling.
@@onceuponasynth I thought it sounded awesome. But before you go get somebody messin around with the truss rod, just check the intonation at the twelfth fret, and adjust the intonation at the bridge. The way you check it is you start at the e string and work your way across to the other e. Hit your open string, and then that same string at the twelfth fret, and just make sure it's an octave up. That just means they need to be the same note, just an octave up. If they aren't, you can detune the string, and adjust it at the bridge. you should watch a video on it, there are lots of them. Since you're more of a pianist, I know adjusting things like that are a much bigger deal for pianos because I play them too, but I promise guitar maintenance is much easier than piano maintenance
cant believe there's not more videos of this being done...I was thinking of ways to play bass parts with my guitar for beats or any kind of synth sounds without getting that thing that attaches to your guitar...this is sick
Y’all know Steve Hillage? He’s the ultimate master of this kinda shit. Seriously married the guitar to the Synthi. Listen to the album Open for the guitar run through it’s beautiful filter to fantastic effect. green is great but more synth guitar rather than the guitar with filter modulation.
You can trigger the amp section with a drum pad trigger. Then, including your techniques, you can prerecord your guitar track and trigger the track with the sticks. Tons of fun!
Enjoyed this. I dont care about the tuning. The point is you gave me some great ideas. Great Stuff. What synth do you use on your signature once upon a time tune?
Can you utilize the noise generator, when running an instrument through? Just want to add some white noise to my instruments that don’t have that ability
Get one of those midi guitar pickups, plug the midi out into the midi in on the Moog, use the LFO retrigger and envelope retrigger to get an autowah and anything else you want.
I was thinking of buying a synth for fun, but I'm also learning the guitar. I'm thinking I could get something like this now so I could mess around with different sounds. 8:53 had me interested. I'm also wondering if there might be other synths that I should consider too.
Dude, what is wrong with you RU-vid creators? If you’re going to do something really cool like vocals into the Moog grandmother, then show us exactly how you did that. I really don’t get why teachers here online are so bad. I hate to be negative but this leaves me with so many questions and your video is supposed to be answering questions not just showing off. 🤦🏻♂️
Man this is the most inspiring GM video yet. Beyond just playing guitar through it, playing other synths through it..and vocals? Damn. Thanks so much for this one
THANK YOU! This is the one video that cuts right to the chase, answering the primary questions succinctly & thoroughly. If only all content providers had your senses of hierarchy & economy; clarity & brevity. ☆☆☆☆☆
hi how does the grandmother behave when you plug a bass guitar into it? could i have a similar rendering to moog mf 101 if i plug my bass guitar into the grandmother? I had the experience with a minitaur and the result was rather bad
Nebojša, have you tried utilising the Envelope section as an envelope follower via trig in? If it is possible, then definitely one more video, this time of course, classic George Clinton 70's funk when they would run a bass guitar thru the VCF and also trigger the envelope via that same guitar signal using envelope follower. Result: Instant funk bass BOMB! 😎
Oh that's interesting, I never thought of running audio through a trig in, but I guess in theory that would work as long as the audio signal crosses the gate threshold and if I sculpt the envelope appropriately. Mind=Blown. Thanks for the idea I'll definitely try this out!
Nah. It's like detuning oscillators for a fatter sound. The cure do this a lot. ..... In all seriousness though...open chords on an electric aren't a great idea....
We could go on all day about just intonation and equal temperment.... Compensating nuts, bridges and frets. Fanned frets...scale length. It's a whole thing.
My Bass Station 2 has external inputs so I reckon I can do some of these with that, awesome. Love the vocals at the end. At 7.15 it sounds just like the Vox Repeat Percussion pedal that was built into some of their guitars. Very cool and inspiring.
I'm between this beauty and the Minibrute 2S. I have read from users that when it comes to eurorack capabilities, the MB2S is more flexible, has more knobs which make it more versatile from the get go (and of course, it's cheaper), but at the same time... Grandma is a beauty, better sound, built quality, spring reverb, etc. One of those 2 is going to be my first physical synth, I'm not a novice, I understand the basis of synthesis and I have used software before. Please, help me decide.
Sure, why not? When you force it everything works...sort of. Just add a preamp after the fx send to raise the guitar signal to synth levels and an attenuator before fx return so you don't fry your amp and...seriously guys, why not just take a guitar multi-fx? ;) It's made for processing guitar level signals and there are quite a few with lfos, envelopes and all those toys.
Connecting an active guitar with some loud active Pickups should work directly ? What do you think ? I do not have the synth yet but I`m going to change my EMG pickups for Blackouts and probably than it should be just fine, no ?
So instead of spending at least $400 each for the getting harder to find Moogerfooger 101, 102, 103, and 104, just 1 synth? Totally cool, only problem I see is that you'd need a full time knob turner to use live.....
This is how Pete Townsend got his famous who’s next sound. It’s difficult to figure out what synths allow this, to use the filters for analog manipulation. Maybe all of them? Can’t freaking tell as a novice. I know there’s an ARP odyssey clone.
Stupid question but how are getting the sequencer to run so long, going through different chord changes etc? Thought it could just record a basic loop..midi or just turning the speed way down? Would love to know
The Moogerfooger pedals work a lot better with guitars than this, but I can see where maybe a producer would need a weird sound for a song and might go this route if he/she only had a Grandmother available. Thanks for showing us!
Any reason when I route the LFO into the VCA amount via the attenuator I don’t get any dry signal? Attenuator purely turns the signal up or down but doesn’t work as a depth control as I expected it to / it sounds on the demo. Cheers.
