This video, via Jyoti Mishra, takes a look at the Moog Source analog synthesizer.
The Moog Source built on the basic sound of the Minimoog, but with a streamlined two-oscillator synth architecture. It also swapped the classic knobbiness of its predecessors for digital control and a data entry interface.
Tupac used this on California Love. Mr Moog had night moves and he will always be missed. I wish he was my uncle. I would pay top dollar for a volca version.
I want night moves too. Sounds like a cool thing.
“Tupac used this on California Love”… well you can’t blame Bob for that! ;o)
To be fair, it was probably Dr. Dre that did the actual playing.
I wonder what kind of vocoder they used on California Love? VP-330?
That would be Roger Troutman on the talkbox.
No totally wrong sorry because I happen to know for a fact Roger Troutman used a Roland boutique VP-03 for his talk box on California Dreamin’
Yaaawn…looks like a Casio…even some Casio synths have better sounds than this.
All i see is exitement because it has the name Moog on it.
Forked out too much money on one of these back in ’82.
Although it heralded the age of one dial parameter editing (and how that dial could spin!) it was basically a Moog Prodigy in a nice brushed metal case and a few memory locations.
Kept it for 3 months and went back to the Pro One.
Hey, thanks very much for posting my vid! 🙂
I owned one way back when, loved & got a lot of mileage out of it. Distinctive sound, solid build, unusual combo of analog & digital features for its (pre-MIDI) time.
Funny thing the demo is made by Jyoti Mishra he is the creator of White Town
