Making a song using only the Moog Grandmother synth

  • I decided to do a challenge where I make a song using only one synth (Moog Grandmother in this case). I have to use it for drums, basses, leads, pads, etc. I added some vocals at the end, but that's the only thing that isn't from the Grandmother. Stay tuned til the end to hear the final song. #onesynthchallenge

    Number 1 synth jam of 2018!!!
    No lie this video was probably the biggesr factor for me deciding to save and buy a Grandmother rather than a minilogue as my first hardware synth.
    Would love to see a video going into greater depth on how you made some of the patches in this video. Particularly the 1st pad and 1st lead patches.
    Or honestly any grandmother videos. You’re a huge inspiration keep it up.

    • @onceuponasynth
      @onceuponasynth  Před 5 lety +1

      The GM is cool cause it has USB MIDI so it doubles as a MIDI controller too. But using hardware synths is definitely more time consuming. I spent a lot of time making new tracks, routing MIDI and tracking audio (which I edited out of the video). I work much faster with soft synths. But hardware synths are nice to add occasional layers here and there.
