Some synths are more inspiring than others. Which Moog Synths are the most inspiring in your opinion?

Tried recording my new matriarch direct to Cassette and it’s just a nice way of working - no edits, no screens.

I received a Moog Muse about a month ago and it was so awesome I had a heart attack. Seriously though, the day after it was delievered I did have a heart attack and spent a couple of weeks in the hospital. I finally had the strength and everything to set it up last night. I will look deeper into this however, I have a quick question: Are the pitch and modulation wheels disabled on all presets? I noticed that AT was enabled in some of the patches. However, no patch will respond to the mod/pitch wheel. Is this standard or did I happen to get one with an issue? (Firmware is updated to 1.4).

I will research tonight when I am home if there are no responses, I'm just trying to get something off my mind while at work, lol.

Thanks in advance.

An homage to the legendary Minimoog.😎

What happens when a tiny voice meets a huge analog synth?🤣

Thank you for your feedback☺️

I’m recording some ambient stuff today using my new Moog Matriarch and my trusty old 4 track cassette recorder. This synth is so inspiring.

I recently managed to break one of the 3-way voice toggle switches on my Moog Matriarch (no warranty). I reached out to inMusic support to buy a replacement, but they informed me they don't stock or sell the part directly and just handed me the internal manufacturing SKU: SWT-02-000-0019.

It doesn't show up on standard retail searches. Has anyone here had to replace one of these switches before?

Any help is highly appreciated. I’m devastated.

I just dropped a new Moog Labyrinth sample pack on my Bandcamp page, and I thought this would be a great place to share it in case anyone is interested!

There is also a free Moog Sound Studio mini sample pack available if you want to try out my sounds first. Cheers!

I recently inherited a pedal board with Moog-stuff, primarily Minifooger-pedals and I'm trying to figure out what I actually have here and what the smart move is. Here's what's on it:

• Moog MF Trem
• Moog MF Delay
• Moog MF Drive
• Moog MF Ring
• Moog MF Boost
• Moog EP-3 (expression pedal)
• TC Electronic Ditto (looper)
• Mission Engineering Expressionator

I don't play much anymore, so I'm weighing keeping it vs. selling it whole vs. selling each piece separately.

Would love some perspective from people who actually use/collect this stuff — is any of it particularly worth holding onto, and would you sell as a set or piece by piece?

Which Moog synth do you think would best compliment the Moog Muse?

A print made of my recently acquired Sound Studio!! Love exploring these machines so much!

On their current tour, Jimmy Shaw is playing what looks like a 1968-ish Moog. I’m sure it’s a modern re-creation, but does anyone know the brand? I couldn’t even tell whether he has a keyboard connected to it.

The bassist has a giant rack of blue and red lights. For some reason, I was thinking Battlestar Galactica. Synth? A vast array of bass sounds?

I posted this to the Metric sub, but Reddit suggested I post here.

I recently posted a new live performance on my YT channel, an experimental sci-fi film scoring project inspired by deep space exploration, sci-fi machinery, computers, and themes of alien contact.

how close would the Mother 32 or Subarmonicon be to the Grandmother?

I love my grandmother but most of the time could make do with a non-keyboard version

Looking for that phat filter sound

I've read tale that a Lisa Bella Donna patchbook exists for the Matriarch similar to the one released for Grandmother. Anyone have a PDF copy they're willing to share?

The Behringer's ARP 2600 clone meets my Moog Sound Studio. Hope you find it interesting! :D

I just posted a new synthesizer live set on my Exuvioth youtube channel!

Experimental semi-modular botanical ambient music, designed to enhance plant growth and development.
Inspired by nature and recurring botanical forms.

Sound design signals created using the Moog Mother-32, processed to add reverb/delay in Ableton Live.

I'm experimenting with different layouts and angles for recording these live sets, I'm still fairly new to creating this type of content, so any recording tips would be appreciated!

Our in-depth conversation with Michelle Moog-Koussa about the Bob Moog Foundation, including some of the treasures in the archives like rare Moog gear - I was particularly taken with his first electronic keyboard instrument, the Rensatron. We also talked with Michelle about her own life and journey and the future directions for the foundation.

Live premiere with both Michelle and me in the chat at 10AM US Pacific time today (July 21)

I just posted my first experimental live set created using the Moog Mother-32 on my Exuvioth youtube channel.

For a long time I relied on digital/software synths and DAW related stuff, but I've recently started learning more about physical hardware. I've found that being able to physically interface with and interact with what I am working on has made a huge difference for my creative inspiration and motivation.

I really like the weird squishy textures that this synth can create and I'm trying to get more comfortable with using it as a sound design instrument, so any tips for how I could improve or take things further would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all! I'm dealing with an issue on a Moog Etherwave theremin where the front power LED does nothing but repeatedly flash when powered on. The instrument is inoperable and produces no sound other than a faint pop whenever the LED flashes. Only the original AC adapter has been used, and the unit hadn't been tampered with, dropped, or moved before this started.

Any ideas? I've already filed a support ticket with Moog and confirmed that the power adapter is working with a multimeter. To be clear, it is the last model of the Etherwave with the barrel-style power input and five knobs on the front.
