Moog System 55 Modular Synth Demo — Daniel Fisher

I head many sounds that you created on this video that were used on ELP's, Lucky Man....COOL!!!

Robots ! Computers !

Marcians !
Attack from space !

Sounds creepy , doesn’t it ?

This system is the basis for vocal synthesis by computers , so elexa and others are voiced this way . But now the system is miniaturized . And I mean really tiny ! So this fella is demonstrating one of the original devices at original size . Big huh ? At scale this machine is large . Compared to the eniac computer from World War Two . But like I said it’s been miniaturized . For today .

You could spend your entire life fiddling with those knobs.

Reminds me 1970s sci-fi movies.

don't tell smiser about this video

It's truly amazing that the modular Moogs from 1969 can actually do hundreds of thousands of things that today's synthesizers can't do.

Wow thank you ! your passion is inspiring :D

These things would make great hurricane warning stations

"Hyper Gamma Spaces" by Alan Parson's Project, is one of my all time fave, I wonder if one of those where used to create it.

Thank you so much for this demonstration! It gave me chills right away from the start. It is really amazing to hear these sounds again and to see how they were made in the past using this incredible machine.😻 I seem to remember many of those sounds when I played games on my Commodore 64 computer in the 1980s. But even so, the similar sounds made by the C64 Computer didn't have as much "body" (sorry, I'm no native speaker) and sounded a bit more flat than what I hear now in this video from the original moog device. Or maybe my speakers today are better. :D

This must be what the end of the universe sounds like 🌌💗

I was an in house sound engineer at a live music venue for a couple of years. I'd heard many ,what I thought were great Moog simulations, from Korg, Nord etc. Until one night, a guy brought in a real moog. He did a sweep and I had to run for the faders. This thing was dangerous. These things can definitely blow speakers. The difference was astonishing.

Now we can understand to DJ's. They move buttons and nothing happens, but this guy moves them and everything happens, every thing...

J'ai connu le "EMS Synthi AKS" petite valise (utilisé dans Tubular Bells par Mike Oldfied) qui donnait dans le même style de son avec les oscillateurs qui gratouillaient, et plus tard le Kobol qui fonctionnait aussi avec des patchs c'était le bon temps...Là en ce moment j'ai envie d'acheter un "Mellotron M4000D Mini" d'occasion, des sons instrumentaux somptueux...

I really appreciate both Daniel's knowledge of the system as well as his genuine passion and love for it. Great video, I'm a new fan of his. Thank you, Daniel.

My dog absolutely loves this video.

Please tell us you're not actually going to sell that huge monstrosity. Christ, we can get the exact same sound and control from a $150 Arturia plugin.

Dude! You're cool!

They set it on a case to make it look taller.

It's crazy. Now you can just pull up an app on your cellphone and make all the same sounds as something the size of a refrigerator 50 years ago.

It's great but those phono cables would do my head in lol

what a machine!

I just now realise how much Moog influence Terraria's soundtrack has

And still some people INSIST that plugins sound the same and if you don't agree then you're just crazy.

This thing just made every noise and sound from all the sci-fi, and bad B grade movies from the 60's and 70's I ever saw! Awesome!

The thing about it is that it's idiot-proof. You can't plug into a "wrong place". The worst you could do is fail to make the sound you want. My employer once let me play his Moog IIIp (one that eventually ended up in Tangerine Dream's recordings) as much as I wanted to (in 1970-ish). Blew up some glassware, Had a LOT of fun making real music. Now I have a Behringer System 55, but can't remember the configuration of the IIIP from 50 years ago. Oh well, I have a lot of time to play with it. Thank goodness for YT and people posting their experience.

“The availability of a patch cord is inversely proportional to your need.”

Just one word: Jarre....

I came here for this. And i came here after this. ;-D

do you have anything to do with bobby fisher? the world renowned chess player ?

why so many cables??? couldn't this be simplified???

ACHO QUE MEADOS DE 70 ATÉ UMA ÉPOCA FOI O PAI DOS EFEITOS SONOROS DE FILMES DE FICÇÃO CIENTÍFICA. FAZIA TUDO PORRA! DO CACETE ESSE EQUIPAMENTO.

By 1969 Hugo Montenegro had an Album entitled "Moog Power!!!!" - that is about the kind of electronic sinthetizer he used! -

incredible machine

Fonction like the yamaha CS10

This thing has a conscience!

👍👏👏
