- Here is part one of a three-part demonstration of the Moog Grandmother, created at the Synth Reactor event put on by Thomann.
From March 14 to March 17, Thomann held "Synth Reactor," a historic meeting of popular synth-related CZcamsrs at their company in Treppendorf Germany. Thomann gave us the opportunity to make videos with their products, and meet with the companies that make them. It was an incredible event. Search for videos marked "#TSR19" to learn more.

I half expected CZcams to put ads relating to elderly people at the beginning of this...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That would be a good way to turn those looking for senior homes into synth lovers... who knows ;)
why i went premium.. that and for Cobra Kai...
Just happened
at Thomann this machine blew my socks off. before, i completely overlooked it.....and now its my favourite new synth. Its fucking awesome. and its a tank!!!!! the sound is sick, no crappy hidden functions, its mahooosive (which is definitely a good thing!) its got an arp that is right! finally!!! juno 6 style arp, nothing more and nothing less! AND A BUILT IN SPRING REVERB, i mean it cant get better for a combo style mono synth. This synth is basically the thing i wanted to find whilst looking through ebay for an old school synth related bargain. :O..... 1 thing i wish was the power supply was inside, and it was a kettle lead attachment at the back, and having a complaint about it as small as that its definitely ticking all the boxes...... plus its sturdy as fuck
Exactly! It was fun examining it with you, sir!
I await your video of it
Not tried this out yet and I realise it's a different beast (no effects/patch options etc) but have you tried out any of the sub 37 range? Personally I love mine. Each time a own a new piece of equipment I appreciate its sound design options and build quality more and more - great attention to detail. My 1st and only Moog... and I have not been disappointed.
your energy comes across in your writing style! thanks for your diy efforts!
Pitty about the crappy name they baptized it with..apart from that its a no brainer synth
Love that synth! So happy I decided to pull the trigger on one! I could watch you talk about this synth for hours! Thanks
Of all the Grandmother demos that have happened, this is a great Grandmother demo that has happened.
I dont know what it is but you always get these machines to sound awesome.cant wait for the rest of this series
Thank you for explaining this has derived from the Model 15! Makes this the ultimate GMILF
not everything is derived from the Model 15, actually the oscillators are from the Voyager because they have a more stable design (words from a Moog Music´s technician)
Daniel Anselmi Thanks. I got from the video that it’s not all model 15 but really appreciate the detail about the filters.
@@danselmix Thats intresting to know . Makes sens3 in this day in age .
Those lovely sing-song harmonics!
I wouldn’t know how to use it in my music as I do mostly acoustic guitar based stuff, but damn, this is tempting!
Just came over from the video you did with Look Mum No Computer. Loving the channel and you've definitely got a new subscriber on your hands! Cheers
Thank you so much and welcome!
Looking forward to the other videos Marc, I wouldn't have know to use the mini and micro brutes together if it wasn't for your videos. So could you connect one of those synths to the noise section of the Grandmother?
Hi Marc, I first discovered your stuff when I bought the Arturia Microbrute and came across your video series on the MB which I found really informative. I had a question, is it possible to link the microbrute up with the Grandmother (How)? Have you or anyone tried that and uploaded a video of the results? I would be interested to hear how a Steiner-Parker filter works in combination with the GM!
I haven't seen a new demo video by you in a while -- it's so great to watch you demo synths, because you're a keys player. So many people nowadays demo everything by throwing a godamn techno sequence on and using that for the whole video, so you don't get to hear what the synth even sounds like with sustained notes. Thanx!
I overlooked this synth at first, i was looking for a small form factor performance synth with sequencer and arp to sit on the side of my music desk...........with all the micro mono and polly synths on the market i took a chance and I tried it and was blown away , i have the voyager RME but this is different and a very immediate performance and sound design tool! the patching is fun , easy and effective. highly recommend .
That music at the beginning is effing great. Nice chord changes! I assume that's your work - exceptional.
Thank you so much! The great secret about it is that I wasn’t able to make themes at Synth Reactor, so I used the then-still-unannounced Dreadbox Nyx V2!
"This is.......the...THE filter" I love that.
Good one bro! Really dig this synth as well!
Thanks, Joe!
So happy to see the Grandmother!
Thanks, Russ!
Happily Dotying again. Glad this was a fruitful expedition.
I recently saw this Model D versus Voyager test on YT (Not reissue model D) and what intrigued me alot was how lively, unstable and interesting sound that the vintage Model D produced. The straight tone from the raw oscillator seemed, subjectively observed, to vary slightly in pitch thru time, or something. Very interesting and beautiful sound. Have you experienced this phenomenon yourself testing old versus new analog synthesizers, Moogs for instance? And If so, why do they sound that way in your opinion? Could gradual deterioration of old parts result in «happy imperfections» like that? And if so, could new parts be artificially aged by baking them or using chemical or other methods that replicate deterioration from ageing?
Finally! Yay!
Crazy that this is basically a model 15. Would be nice to hear it being played with a ribbon controller.
Marc, I think you should have mentionned that the mixer is based on the CP3 circuit that saturates passed noon. And we can hear that on the Triangle wave at the beginning. That is an important component in the vintage Moog sound, imo.
Me too! Hopefully I mentioned it in one of the next two parts of the demo.
Just when I thought I was getting over my GAS problem. Thanks Marc!
You are great! Subscribing now
Recommendations on a good delay module to add to the signal flow of the grandmother?
Walrus Audio Arp-87.
Great demo, but WOW! A nord in the background in the same room as Marc Doty?
I think Nords are pretty great!
I ❤️ juicy saws!
Wonderful demonstration. Its tone is great, it looks wonderful and I’d really love to play it. One question though, in order to satisfy my vintage Moog needs, I bought a Leipzig-S some years ago. How would you say the two compare with respect to tone, sounds that can be created and playing experience? (By the way, your Leipzig videos made me realize what a great instrument it is.)
I used to describe the Leipzig as “More Moog than modern Moog,” but since then, Moog rendered me incapable of saying that. The Leipzig is glorious in its Moogness.
Thanks.
The two remind me of each other, since they both have this massive sound, decently sized knobs, look great and have exactly the right amount of features (not too complex but not too limited either), with some surprises here and there.
Question: Can I get the same sounds from the matriarch if I use an external analog reverb ?
Yes you can.
Marc, do you wear your AG shirt specifically for or in spite of all the knob jokes you’ll get?
Both! :D
Let's discuss and compare these VCO's and 904 ladder to the ONE. Because right of the bat this thing is wiping the floor with everything Ive heard from the ONE. Even the base fundamentals at 1:56. I've never heard a ONE sound that rich.
@anthony patterson Marc Doty does a good job as a demonstrator. I own several Moog synths including a Model D. My ear is tuned into the characteristics of Moog, so I stand by my statement.
I think sequencer is actually digital. But signal path still analog.
This Moog can get extreme sick sounds ...Can the monster behind you Do ?
I love this synth but have been through three of them since January. Quality control is horrible (in my experience) especially for Moog.
That knob on your shirt looks 3D.
Sweet! Do one on the Matriarch!! (please)
I love the Moog Grandmother! Such a fantastic synth for sound design!!! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Where is the Minimoog?
Someone aksing the real questions! I feel a bit sorry tho that Marc became the TSR meme
I think it's great. I'm a fan of his videos since around 2010, when I bought my first own synth (SH-3A from Japan) He had a demo of it on his channel and I eventually watched the majority of his output since then. I happen to like his persona here, so some "personal" moments are gold for me. That meme to me is like a thing you do among "friends" or in the community and don't we all love those moments? - I do =)@@SynthsandSounds
Thank you!
(But where's the....😁sorry)
THE MINIMOOG IS RIGHT HEREEEEE. Or, I mean... if you want a Minimoog, this isn't a bad place to start. :D
@@automaticgainsay 😕 sub 37, Grandmother....the list is long, the cash is short lol
@@automaticgainsay 😕 sub 37, Grandmother....the list is long, the cash is short lol
So fat! Fantastic machine, fantastic work.
Nice demo Marc but........ WHERE’S THE MINIMOOG!
Rob Jefferys Exactly what I was wondering too! 😂😂
MiniMoog style oscillators in this old lady yeah?
I’m pretty sure that the architecture is different because the design of the oscs in the 1974 Moog modulars was different than that of the Minimoog, I think. But that being said, the thing sounds similar to a Minimoog!
@@automaticgainsay awesome, many thanks! Looking forward to part 2!
@@MarshalArnold Oscillators here are from the Voyager, not the Model 15
Sound wise, Voyager or Grandmother?
Grandmother
@@automaticgainsay Thanks Marc
It's a modern synth, but it sounds vintage, how can this be>?)
No preset architecture couple with vintage analog design!
I'd say a fine example of moog going back to their roots. Whilst swerving from the obvious model d . A sublime little beast !!!
Well THAT ended abruptly…🙄
The secret is in the title obscured in the mysterious phrase "part 1."
@@automaticgainsay Got it. 😂😂😂 I guess it’s all about the details. Great video by the way.
Model 15 sounds 15x better
My objective measurement had it at only 2.7 times better. We're going to have to compare notes.
Rather frustrating I'd say Gainsay "me old mucker". Two minutes of information streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetched out to over twelve! Rather a lot of vocal doodling, dithering and twaddling combined with oodles of tuneless tinkering around. Hmmmmm. Same as usual then!.....Maybe paid by the second perhaps???.But I do so love your exaggerated "aaaands" with raised two tone vocal pitches and an audible expression of amazement! Wowza! Don't worry, overall you're a huge asset rather than a liability because you really do know what you are talking about. (You could lose the finger bobbin rings though, very off putting!)Please everyone, this is all tongue in cheek.......In case you're unable to recognise sarcastic humour...
My mom says you’re mean
AutomaticGainsay Sorry Mom, he's a great lad really, taught me a shed load. Thanks Gainsay, you're the best! (it was just a slight pinch, a reality check for you as most people aren't as honest as me!) (everything is tongue in cheek here xx love and kisses xx)
Now get on with part 2......
