- Finally! A look at a Moog modular synthesizer!
Despite Moog being the most famous synth brand ever, it's historically been difficult for me to get hold of Moogs for numerous reasons, so when I found out that there was a Model 10 reissue lurking in the UK, I begged GAK Music Emporium to let me borrow it.
If you're interested in buying this instrument, the link is here: www.gak.co.uk/en/moog-model-1...
Thank you also to Michelle Moog-Koussa at the Bob Moog Foundation, Moog Music, Marc Doty and Vincent Michaels for their help with photos, brochures and information.

Who needs an Apple Mac when we can have a banana Moog?
I'll have both thanks! I have the Mac, the Moog might be a bit of a bigger ask..... (does a Moog model 15 emulation count?)
@@koosfockens1707😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The bananas song is the most British thing I've heard all week. lol
czcams.com/video/cxvzl9k-FXE/video.html more French
I almost spat out my gentleman’s relish
fnaar
Very RARE circa 1999 if u ask me
I'd give my left alex for Ball's gear.
😆
Your right Alex will be lonely without his buddy.
@@nebulance4289 there will still be a banana though.
😂😂😂
It would not be a Moog video without a strange song.
It's the name, it calls out for strangeness.
Neither would it be an Alex ball video without a strange song.
You should press up yellow vinyl of that Bananas track and sell it to help fund the channel. I'd buy it immediately! 🍌🍌🍌
Pressed on banana skin or it's cheating.
The British Bananas Marketing Board will be impressed! Look forward to the advert 🙂
They sponsored the video.
I'm sorry, but Bananas is THE greatest composition of the last hundred years!!
Fight me!!
The Bananas track is definitely something Jean-Jacques Perrey would make, while Space Disco is definitely something Patrick Cowley would make. Love me those Hi-NRG triplets.
Was going for JJP with bananas and also Giorgio for Space Disco. Just needed a Polymoog.
Oh my god, you really nailed the circa 1971 Moogspoitation sound. The little descending chord phrase is spot on.
3:58 is going to haunt my dreams forever
🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
I want, nay, demand, that Bananas get it’s own CZcams release. It needs to be shared widely. 🎉
Would you say it has wide...
a-peel?
My grandad played me Kaleidoscopic Vibrations in 1985 when I was aged 6, it's effect on me was immediate and everlasting, Perry/Kingsley remain one of my favourite guilty pleasures to this day. To hear an homage to that particularly silly style fills me with genuine joy, thank you.
My first synth experience...circa '73...was on a school field trip! Fell in love with the greats (Edgar, Billy, ELP, etc...) before that...had to know what that sound was!!! Been a geek since...thnx 2 everyone who "Boldly went where no man has gone before...". 🎶🎶🎶👆✈️🌈
Wow! A heck of a first synth experience!
That´s what CZcams is made for: VIDEOS FROM THE ONE AND ONLY ALEX B.! :-D. Thanks a lot! Especially for finally teaching us Germans how to REALLY pronounce "Moog" correctly ;-)
BANANAS.. A sure-fire hit!! 😂
I have NO WORDS for that 'wiggle' you did whilst dancing and doing the vocoder at the end ... NO WORDS - it was that good p;-))
Schexy?
...I should think you've song the thing for them, bro. Nice.
"Bananas" - sounds like it could be straight off a YMO album.
Interesting. I was going for Perrey / Kingsley.
That is a very very interesting good sounding moog. I'm a moog and korg nerd.
so a… moorg nerd?
This the big one-the one we’ve all been waiting for! Thanks, Alex. Great video, as always.
I loved the Jean-Jacques Perrey tribute - my son started vibing and giggling when it came on. Bravo!
Love the bananas one 🍌 😆
Instant thumbs up before I even watch! I’ve been waiting for this one!
Every time I watch your video's they are engaging, informative and presented with humour! Love the music too.
Very kind, thank you!
If your first reaction to finding a Moog isn't to play campy ragtime novelty music with a vaguely tropical flavor, you're doing it wrong!
Would have never occurred to me...but it's so obvious.
🍌🍌🍌🍌
Indeed, it's the synth nerd version of playing "Stairway to Heaven" in the music store.
18 into the opening jam I'm already smashing the like button. There is no synth sound like an old school Moog.
A Moog is a Moog!
THANK YOU. I had a super crappy 2 weeks at work and it's always wonderful to come home to a new Alex Ball video.
Sorry about the crappy 2 weeks. Glad the Moog came to the rescue.
This guy is what’s trying to escape from me ! I can’t hold it back - fabulous!!
Whenever anyone said that Moogs sounded fruity, I never thought of bananas, but I will, moving forward. Ripe bananas, to be exact.
Wonderful, as usual. Even more wonderful: at 7:33 where the VCO is sweeped - Closed Captions throws up 'Thank You'. Mr. Moog is watching!
Haha, how curious!
So Moogy 😃 Monstrously great new compositions, Mr.B! Your skills are mighty! I got to sit next to a Model 10 in a lounge in the Moog Factory in Asheville in 2014 😍 Isn't it adorable? That multi-output oscillator is dreamy. Thanks for the walkthrough-by-module. Great video, Alex! Congrats on getting this beautiful thing in your studio. 🍌
I'd love to visit the Moog factory. Obviously, I'd bring a banana.
@@AlexBallMusic Obvs.
Love the Space Disco - music, sound + british humor - unbeatable! PS: if somebody would start a petition to rerelease Wendy Carlos' Masterpieces, I would buy them all! I heard that Wendy didn't want her music on Spotify and I certainly respect her decision, but perhaps someone could convince her, to allow new CDs and / or Vinyls! Perhaps we should start a game, that fans (preferably owning at least one synthesizer ;-) ) of you try to come up with 1 or 2 min hommage remake of their favourate track of Wendy .... Thanks for your wonderful videos!
Sounds absolutely fantastic! Your jams are the BEST on CZcams!
As if I didn't want one enough already!!! The 904 + 907 are just the best!
I love how knowledgeable and passionate you are about synths!
Such a glorious instrument, and you really brought out the best in it.
Moog and whoever has these classic units like these has to let you borrow them! Incredible history lesson, music lesson, music, and advertisements for them. You get to play them, they get to sell them, win/win.
Very happy to borrow more Moogs!
I usched thisch on the muschic for schquirt locker.
Another great video, good info and most important: fantastic micro songs! And that sound, wow! I even get the wow experience with my only Moog, the Werkstatt-01. Thanx Alex for putting all this time and work into your videos, I usually watch them a few times.
Another wonderful video! Thanks loads, Alex! I can only dream about owning something like this but these videos are still a joy!
Cheers Andrew. I dream too, but nice to be able to borrow one.
@@AlexBallMusic the caps needed it.
If there is a goal in the field of being a musician and being a youtuber at the same time, then you have both achieved it and absolutely nailed it: Interesting and entertaining videos seasoned with a large portion of expertise, a lot of humor and a lot of musical skill are more fun than 90% of all other, pure marketing videos.
Awesome video, Alex, I always feel like I learn something new about synths and synth history every time I watch your videos! 🎹😄🎹
Thanks, nice to know!
Thank you for the Perrey and Kingsley tribute! I don't know how much people realize how brilliant their songs are.
wonderful presentation!!!
Absolutely brilliant demonstration of a super cool vintage piece that can make your head explode, and love your jams Alex, I really appreciate what you do 🍻
Thanks Fred!
Fun,fun,fun out of the sun.😁🎶🎶🎹🎶Play On
Don't need this unit.... but I had no idea how much I needed your "Bananas" demo in my life today. Cheers!
This synth speaks to me in a way no modern modular setup can.
Great video...bananas!
Alex, you're amazing, How you manage to put together great sounding demos pretty much to spec is gasting of the old flabber.
How did I miss this when it came out? Might have corresponded to when I was on vacation.
Anyway glad to see this! Always find your vids so informative (and fun musically).
The 907 sounds so good.
Phenomenal channel.
Awesome guitar-strap-to-tee-shirt alignment in the intro jam - bravo!😂
Great work as always! Nice use of the System 100 for the percussive tom sounds in the last track.
The Moog 10 was the synthesizer featured on the debut album from the band Styx in 1972.
My dad had a few albums by a man called Klaus Wunderlich back in the 70's and your Bananas tune sounds like most of them. Great :)
Thanks for that Perrey and Kingsley homage.
Had to be done.
Yep, definitely bananas alright....
Another nicely put together video and some great sounds.
"Borrow” is the key word. Vintage/Reissue Moog modular is way to expensive for most folks, thus it's out of reach...what a sound though, great video!
It's a premium product, yes. Hence I _really_ wanted to do a video with one. Like borrowing a Ferrari when you run a car channel.
Bro... you own it! Can you say "Sponsor"? 😂🎉🎶🤟👍
@@AlexBallMusic totally, I’d borrow one too if I had the chance…see if they’ll let u send it over after ur done with it ;)
It’ll be the story of the traveling moog, no pant’s necessary
Bananas reminded me instantly of The Moog Cookbook. So good!
Brilliant as usual. Banana's!
Heck yea bro!🔥🤘🏻🔥
I like the cut of your gib Alex, you're really going from strength to strength. Also, love the demos!
Cheers Eddy.
How cool is that! Dear Alex, thank you very much for this cool song (Space Disco at 10:23) I'm a big fan of your cool music! Alexander
There's a Model 15 recreation from Moog on the iPad and it's awesome. Well worth the money for those who got curious about this synth.
That was ... bananas :)
That first song gave me serious Jean Michel Jarre vibes. ;)
The Bananas tune is the best song I’ve heard in… ages. Bravo!
awesome !!!!
"bananas" absolutely rips, albeit my 7 year old told me it's the derpiest song he's ever heard (he still thoroughly enjoyed)
This is awesome :)
Thanks Jamie.
Bananas had be laughing so much. Jean Jacques Perrey would be proud.
Bananas and vocoder - Lovin it Mr Ball 🙂
I actually collect Moog Modulars. My first synth was a Moog System 35, I found it at a Goodwill for $10. I wasn't really sure what it was, but I soon found out that I could make music with it, so I plugged it into my cheap Sears cassette recorder and made multiple silly albums with it (Bananas is a lot like something I would've made with my friends when we were teenagers)! I still have the hundreds of tapes I recorded between the ages of 13 and 18!
i love this. I need all of these modules every single one, in eurorack format, along with every single eurorack format module in the world thanks.
love the track bananas 😉
Gotta admire your balls for singing and dancing like that!!!!!
Super cool
Yes please!
Nice one, Mr B! I realise you can do a ton more with this, but I am so glad I have a Voyager for THAT sound.
Hopefully I'll do a Voyager video at some point.
If you would release CDs, I would buy them.
Please... where can I get a ticket to the Space Disco? Your twin abilities of making both interesting documentaries about legendary music equipment and side-splittingly catchy tunes is highly enviable! 😇
great work! We have one here in an unopened box here at AS
Called shot: The "Bananas" song will become a meme.
I'm game.
Awesome
That was so worth it
You just need to listen to the noice sound a love it.
Great work, Alex, and thank you. That Model 10 is still for sale, only £9.7k! And that's reduced from £12k+!!
Mrs. Y sadly did not listen favourably to my business case... 😢
omg bananas! soooo good
og dubstep womps machine ! nice filters and sweeps and bleeps and bloops
I feel a moog documentary coming on… *excited feelings*
id go bananas for one heh
If we ever enter a nuclear holocaust and zombies run rampant looking for brains, there would be a variant of these zombies who were former synthesists and they would be wandering the broken landscape looking for "knobs" and Alex would be their king. Another great video on a synth icon. Please please keep them coming.
That's quite an image. 😆
I'm not a filter aficionado, but I'm starting to hear the greatness of the moog ladder filter.
That jam was deadly
Alex, the way you do your modular tracks, are they repeatable or once off happy accidents that you have a some what funnel vision of what is going to be an outcome?
My approach to the way I make music is, set it all up, do the sequencing, let it go and see what comes of it.
I am just interested in your workflow, as we have seen with other more rigid pieces that you have a set goal, I am wondering if this is a little more flexible due to the gear behind it?
As always, wonderful watching what you make for us, always entertaining as usual.
Lovely synth and video. Bought my beloved Juno 6 from GAK for £150 in 1996. Great store.
Small world. 🙂
Might I add for those who care, Moog’s are still made by hand in the USA and you can even visit their factory in Asheville NC.
Great!
Prefer the stairway filter mate.
Damn! Space Disco was funky as hell!
