  • Let's try running a guitar through the Moog Grandmother synth (via it's instrument input) and see what kind of sounds we get. I'll use the spring reverb, high pass filter, low pass filter, LFO, sequencer, arp, etc. We'll make distortion, tremolo and even sing a bit. So sit back, relax, and join me on this journey!

    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 have ordered a Grandmother 'cos its time to move up from my Monologue .

    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!!!

    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! 😎

    • @onceuponasynth
      @onceuponasynth  Před 5 lety

      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!

    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.
