Unchain My Moog

by

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 is 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.

Evade

My first recording with the Minimoog! The rhythm track is coming from the Moog Mavis & Spectravox (on the bottom tier). They are being driven, sequenced and housed by the Cre8audio NiftyKEYZ keyboard / enclosure. The lead is provided by the Minimoog, which is going into an EHX Oceans 12 dual stereo reverb pedal (using echo in this song).

Psycho Cello

This song features the Moog Spectravox and Moog Mavis mounted in the NiftyKEYZ keyboard enclosure (bottom tier). The top tier is the Behringer Poly D (for now – more changes coming soon). The Moog s were being driven by the NiftyKEYZ sequencer and the cello sound was my EHX Oceans 12 hack (just an unusual setting I stumbled upon). The choppy tremolo effect you hear later was also the Oceans 12 pedal.
