Moog Labyrinth Unboxing... WTF?!
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Місяць тому
I unbox and demo the new Moog Labyrinth while providing some commentary and more than a few rants along the way. There are several areas where it is obvious how InMusic is already cutting corners with production to save costs… But overall, it's a cool little box that allows for some exciting discovery. It even has some interactive circuit bending potential, and I feel that its unique approach t...

What midi are you using?
Hello! How do I change the root note of a musical scale in Moog Labyrinth?
Turn the SEQ1 CV RANGE knob fully counterclockwise. Then you can tune the VCO FREQUENCY to the root note of your scale.
I like your ranting because you took the words right out of my mouth. And I miss a printed manual, I hate that fumbling with a file on the screen.
Me too man, thanks for stopping by!
16:58 I noticed it on my subharmonicon last week. It's pretty fun to tweak parameters with the cable only like this.
That's awesome man! Yeah, it really adds a "3rd dimension" to these synths that is not obvious or advertised.
Whats ur honest thoughts on this after playing around with it?? Give it to me straight now filter ( like the synth)
Haha yeah it’s cool. So far I find it’s been easier to get percussion grooves out of it more than anything melodically useful, but I’m sure I’ll get the complete hang of it eventually. Fun little box though. Btw, love your vids, man! Thanks for dropping by!
Nice video.. where did you get the replacement knobs?
Thanks! You can get the knobs directly from Moog, or I think any of their retailers. www.moogmusic.com/products/moog-knob-kit-knurled-pots
@@fertilesound_ Sweetwater page says they're no longer available. B&H still has some.
11:56 is where the real fun begins! 😂
Haha yes, it exceeds at making fart sounds 🤣
DFAM?
Why even mention AI, you’re giving it a credibility it doesn’t have
I wish you were right, but recent developments indicate otherwise.
@fertilesound, I believe the sale happened largely because of a number of bad management decisions and component costs. Moog really failed at implementing an intuitive way to change firmware settings in a standalone way for synths like the Grandmother and Matriarch, and also made design decisions that prevented them from implementing a settings app for Win/Mac and Android / IOS deices that would sync up with the synths. Plus the costs of components were getting too high for them to make ends meet. Apparently they overbought certain components that was really hurting their cash flow too. I think it took too long for Moog to produce new and unique synths. it got to be really slow for a long time. Since they were and somewhat still are a premium brand, I would expect them to have brought more new modules in the Mother family of Eurorack synths out to the market. What they're doing with the Spectravox and Labyrinth is awesome, but I wonder if the Muse will really bring much new to the table since it's apparently based on the Matriarch voices and the price is substantially higher than even the Arturia Polybrute 6, which offers much more in terms of modulation options.
Interesting, I had not heard that before but it makes sense. Thanks for your comment!
The placement of some of the knobs and decision of large vs small had me scratching my head. Why is U mix a large knob and decays and cv range small? And decays are awkwardly next to the patch bay. Thats really my only gripe with this synth - but jeez its annoying
Exactly! Right?
Either they accidentally omitted user testing, it wasn't in the roadmap, not in the budget, or simply put, UX and usability are not within ther interest.
It’s not a ladder filter.
Correct. That’s what I said.
That's the only way to start. We posted our first experience too. Crazy thing. Love it.
AI can't make hardware and use it so hardware is awesome!
Hardware over software
@@CVinyl all day
As far as I know, digital controlled oscillators (DCOs) are actually true analog oscillators that are just synced to a digital clock source. The part of the DCO that is doing the oscillating is analog- producing an analog waveform! They were invented in the 80s as a way to avoid the pitch instability of VCOs. So technically, not a hybrid synth which actually has digital oscillators and analog filters / amplifiers.
It’s an interesting point you make. Behringer and others call it “hybrid” I assume due to its use of DCOs. I think it comes down to a matter of semantics when referring to the oscillators. Some people consider DCOs “digital” because they are controlled digitally, whereas others seem to make the distinction that the waveform must be purely DSP-generated for it to qualify as “digital”. The WASP certainly doesn’t use DSP to generate the waveforms. From what I can tell looking at schematics online, it uses a 555 timer around a 40103 chip to generate the waveforms, I.e. a “DCO”. But I would tend to agree with you, to clear up confusion around the whole VCO vs DCO / analog vs digital murkiness, that to be considered truly “hybrid” a synth would need to be using a digitally generated waveform into otherwise analog circuitry (VCF, VCA, EGs, etc.). Thanks for posting, great discussion topic!
I was trying this on my Korg MS20 Mini, a few days ago. Provided I patched the sample & hold into the Total input, it worked fine, but if I patched it into the Frequency input instead, I got nothing. The input does work with the wheel, so this is mysterious, to me. Maybe it's an impedance matching thing? Does the same happen on the K2?
Hi, it sounds like maybe you need to turn up the EG1/EXT knob on the Frequency Modulation, instead of the MG/T.EXT? Total input is normalled to the Modulation Generator. Frequency input is normalled to EG1.
@@fertilesound_ That worked. Thanks.
Were the replacement knobs a similar coated type knob? If so they are just going to get sticky again in a short amount of time. Honestly hoping the replacements don't have a coating!
The new ones do have the soft coating as well, but I read in a couple places that they changed the supplier or the manufacturing, so the new ones don't have the same problem. I have to think they fixed it because these knobs are standard on all their hardware, including the high-dollar ones like the PolyBrute 12. I guess we'll see!
@@fertilesound_ I certainly hope so! I need some! Thanks for the info!
Hello, I'm starting my adventure with modular synthesizers. I have a few questions. I asked on Behringer's official Facebook profile but no one bothered to respond. So maybe you can help me. I will be very grateful! - Is Behringer K-2 patch panel Volt/Octave or Hz/Octave? - Will K-2 work with Behringer Neutron and Pro-1? - How many cables can be connected to patch panel inputs/inputs via splitters? Thank you in advance for Your response.
1. Hz/Volt (not Octave) - www.perfectcircuit.com/signal/synthesizer-tuning-standards 2. Yes, for the most part - except you would need converters for the pitch and gate CVs (see #1) 3. Great question! I don't know. I have never found the need to go more than 3 or so and it seems to work fine, but eventually there is a limit per Ohm's Law and such, right? 🙂
@@fertilesound_ Thank You very much!
Will you make a video showing your instruments in all their glory? Something like a studio tour!
Hey, thanks for the great idea - I'll add it to the list! In the meantime, if you look at the Behringer synth section of any online music retailer, you'll get an idea of what my studio is looking more and more like these days. 😅
@@fertilesound_ I also plan to purchase Behringer equipment. I see you use them a lot too and I'm curious about your configuration. What DAW do you use, if any?
@radi0n Right on. I mostly use Cubase.
'I Love the Smell of new synth in the Morning'
These filters give me goosebumps!
Good stuff!
Thanks!
If you process the sound through the esp and use esp output instead of regular output you get a good sounding and controllable overdrive. Took me a while to figure it out, though it's a popular trick.
Yeah, absolutely! There are so many options. The way I did it was more of a "send" type routing, where you still hear the original signal but can blend in the overdriven side to taste. But taking the direct out from the ESP is another great trick. Thanks for posting!
I have one of these with a Wasp racked in the RackBrute 6U attached to my Minibrute 2S :) there's a SQ-1 on the side with a Modal SKULPT providing poly synth duties. It's a really fun small setup.
That sounds badass! You should upload some of your tracks with that setup!
Kudos.
No release on enveloppe ? Great review , the smell of new Electronic made me lol
Thanks so much! I have enjoyed your vids on YT and posts on Gearslutz/Gearspace for years. I'm glad you liked the vid and I really appreciate you leaving a comment!
SupR ROCKIN 🎼🎸🙌
Have you experienced any low output volume with yours? I can barely get a sound wave in my DAW, also I have it plugged into my Roland KC-500 amp which is super loud and I'm barely getting sound out of it
No, sorry to hear that, mine works fine. Keep in mind you have two volume knobs - one for each of the oscillators, and one main volume knob for the whole unit. Beyond that, the envelopes need to be set a certain way or you might not hear a sound. Maybe check out some default settings like this one if you haven't already: www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/behringer-wasp-how-to-create-a-sound/. Good luck!
Hey man, glad I could help. Have fun 👋🏼
Thanks again!
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
digging your videos, I'm glad I found your channel! Liked and subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome video! Love the jam at the end! Sounds great.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching!
You can easily get rid of the stickiness by putting the knobs in warm water and gentrly scrubbing them with a soft brush.
I too have the sticky knob issue with my matrix brute and my drum brute impact. Do you literally just write to them?
Yeah, just submit a support ticket. They may ask you to send a video of the knobs to verify. I just had to pay the shipping and they sent me the full replacement set at no charge otherwise.
@@fertilesound_That’s super cool to hear about your replacement knobs. I’d love to get some for my Microbrute. Curious to know how the payment transaction for the shipping cost went. How exactly did they bill you?
@@microgrampy I think it was through PayPal. They send you the details when you reach out to them. Good luck!
@@fertilesound_Thanks for the info!
I've played played an EDM Wasp original with the touch sensitive keys. The sound and control is very faithful to the original. I'm just waiting for Behringer to recreate the Spider sequencer, also made by EDP at the time
Suggestion: change the intro.
Suggestion: Be more descriptive in your critique.
It's just very uncomfortable to watch with all the flashing lights.@@fertilesound_
it’s REALLY hard to read the red text on the access virus TI
when i rub my hands all over my synths i prefer the lights off 😂
Synthesizer dirty talk 🤣
Arturia updated the quality of the knob caps for the OG Brute range a while back and they don’t go sticky anymore. You can purchase a knob cap kit from them, just contact their after-sales dept. And no, they don’t cost 100 bucks. The knob caps you have in front of you aren’t resin coated so won’t go sticky. Nice video by the way 👍🏼
Thanks, good to know! I’ll reach out to them about replacing my DrumBrute knobs.
@dxtrs_mnpltr - You were right, Arturia sent me a new set of knobs. Thanks again for the suggestion!
what year is it
A year where they are still selling this thing.
Great synth. Awesome sequencer! You got a subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
❤
Awesome tones... excellent demo Fertile !
Thank you!🙏
You got more candy than I did!
I know! Sometimes all they send me are a few peppermints. I guess I got lucky that time!
Behringer has been making great recreations of classic synths at decent prices, and as a regular working guy income guy, I appreciate it. Also love the korg volcas. That wasp is awesome, thanks for making synth videos.
Yeah it’s a great time to be alive. Only problem now is not having enough time to play them all!
lovely sounds you coaxed from it
Thank you! It's a fun little synth.
Enjoying vids nice 👍
Right on! Glad you like. Thanks!
