It actually looks like a pretty simple intuitive control interface. The only thing I can't figure out is how you would do any fine tuning of each oscillator. I see the octave buttons and the interval button for oscillator 2. Can you only fine tune oscillator 2 (via the interval button)? Is oscillator 1 tuning fixed?
I don't think you can directly compare as they're from such different eras: it's like comparing a classic instrument with a great new version. Each has their own character and it's totally up to you.
Thanks for watching and the feedback, Mark! I'm sorry you sold yours BUT if it's any consolation, plugins are 95% of the way there. Maybe soon you'll be able to get that tone back?
@@JyotiMishra I just picked up a Moog Sirin and played it along with this video, it's VERY close in many sounds, and a great little synth. Thanks again for making this video, you got me back into The Source.
Sadly, I haven't got the time at the moment - new album, vids, pitching songs.... Maybe if I ever get a year off!! But thank you for watching, I'll be doing more synth vids soon. When I have time... 😭

Reminds me of old arcade cabinets from the 1980s. Have to say I don't like the sound of it much...… and the possibilities seem a little limiting, like most 1980s synths. (you didn't actually say what year it came out)
Source is one of the most underrated monosynths ever. Raw sound on these is amazing. Nothing new compares
It is a special machine, true. I'd never sell mine even though it's getting a bit old and grumpy. Like me!
Best Moog ever.
Moreau's 😂
Also it's interesting that there is a ring mod patch but no ring mod "controls" (other than the wheel setup for the patch)...
forget the control, this thing sounds good from the 'get-go' the raw sound is superb, warm, tubey and ultra snappy.
it's very weird to play this after playing plugin/softsynths. It is sooooo "there," so musical!

There's a master tune on the back of the synth, you can see it in pics here: modularsynthesis.com/moog/source/source.htm
Another great demo. Love the Moog. Much love from White Silhouette.
Sounds great!
Cheers, ears!
Is $1800 a good price? Is it worth the sounds? Warmer than a sub 37 bass or leads?

No, better off with a Phatty or Behringer clone now.
Sounds a bit like my concertmate mg 1 which is a tandy/radio shack copy of the moog rouge
My first synth was a Rogue! :-) Wonderful little beastie!
@ 20:43 that too is my type of Moogy sound, love it, wish I had never sold mine. Nice demo, really good sounds.

@@markhaskins8179 Woohooo! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW MOOG! You're gonna have so much fun! 😀
@@JyotiMishra Thanks, it is a lovely sounding machine, I will upload some videos of it soon. 🙂
any chance you'd make a patch book for these sounds? LOVE them

I have the listings for the factory sounds if you want them

Jyoti Mishra seriously Why?
