Unchain My Moog

Another instrumental song idea based on a sequenced Moog Spectravox and Moog Mavis with a bass lead provided by the Minimoog. I was testing the preset from the manual called, “Sawyer Bass.” Notice the Overload lamp coming on as the output signal is being routed back in via the External Input (it is internally wired that way when the Ext. Input rocker switch in on and there is nothing plugged into the Ext. Input jack. It is a form of overdrive distortion that folks discovered back in the day and Moog added the feature to the newer Model D’s.
Tweakage Leakage

Dueling arpeggiators. Kind of an experimental piece where I used a BeatBuddy’s midi output to keep a Moog Mavis with & NiftyKEYZ arpeggiator in sync with a Behringer Poly D’s arpeggiator. Some knob tweaks here and there. I had fun with this one!
Stillness at Sunup

A very chill piece, considering it has a Samba drum track. It features a Martin DC Aura on rhythm with a Moog Mavis analog synth providing an ethereal lead. A Rickenbacker 4003 provides the bass. Composed and recorded in one evening. Drums by BeatBuddy.
American Outside Woman Impromptu

The title of this song comes from the fact that I used a tone on my Les Paul that was reminiscent of something between “American Woman” and “Outside Woman Blues.” Impromptu was added because, well, it isn’t a blues song and the leads were pretty much ad-lib.
Strats and Vibes

A “feel good” instrumental with a driving bass line and several layers of Stratocaster, including a simulated vibraphone track. What’s not to like?

“Cello” track created with Moog Mavis & Moog Spectravox going into an EHX Oceans 12 Dual Stereo Reverb pedal set to my secret cello setting. “Harpsichord” lead was created with my Minimoog.

Another ominous-sounding piece. All Moog (Minimoog, Mavis & Spectravox).

Rubber Horse (demo)

August 20, 2024 by Joe

Just a song demo. Fleshing out ideas for a work-in-progress. Rubber Horse is a working title. I based it on the sounds the sequenced Moog modules are making. The Mavis is creating a rubber band sound and the Spectravox is making sounds reminiscent of horse clip clops.
