It`s so soothing seeing someone actually tweak and show a synth instead of some "reviews" that run through it`s presets, comment a bit and call it a day. Bravo Mr.Doty
Thank you! That's what I'm here for!
I wish only more people would be like you. Cause the internet is becoming full of Hatred, Stupidity and Ego in far to large quantities. Everyone fighting everyone for nonsense. So videos like yours are bit of an Oasis (not the band... :-)
Just picked one of these up off of Craigslist for a great price. Thanks Marc, for all the great info! Now, I just need to get a $600 reverb pedal for my $300 synth.....
This series is such a gift, thank you!!!
I’m glad to help
“EVEN MORE INFINITY!” lol I love you, Marc lol
Careless whispers lead to great videos. This is a great product at a great price-point, in other words.
Great videos, really help me understand how Synthesizers work.
+AutomaticGainsay I have to say that you have the most informative synth videos on UA-cam, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL VIDEO... (This video made me feel much better about my purchase of the Monologue) THANK YOU!
I'm glad I could help, and thanks for watching!
Just picked up one of these magincal little beasties, and this series is so helpful. Thank you!
Really cool series on the Monologue. Delicious!
Perfect descriptive video thanks 👍👍
great tutorial ! tnx dude , it's fun to learn from ya !
What a great tutuial. I am don't own one yet but I am learning more about Synth then anything I have seen.
4:28 Cheeky snippet of the Pacific Rim theme there :P
Great review! I think you have me sold on the Monologue as my first Synth :)
As usual Mark, AWESOME detailed in-depth analysis of the synth.
And the whispered comments are very funny!
Thank you! :D
Yeah this really helps me value the synth for what it is, sometimes I compare and get frustrated (no sub oscillator) but I agree the breadth of timbre on this thing and the many high end features like wVe shape, ring mod, and parameter sequencing make it a gem of it's own.
Very clear and informative thanks
this just got me so stoked
Thank you, very helpful for someone fairly new to it all like myself. I'm only five or six years late to the party with the Monologue. 😉. But looking forward to mine arriving soon.
Excellent review - ridiculously impatient for the next one :-)
Thank you... next one coming up tomorrow!
Nice bit of kit, Marc..especially at this price point. Great review thus far.
Thank you!
Holding shift and turning OSC2 Pitch will increase/decrease it in semitones. Which can of course be step-based motion sequenced into duophonicish glory. :)
Learned synthesis on an Arturia Microbrute, and while I love that synth, I’m trading it in for one of these. Already have a Minibrute 2, and feel like this would be the perfect “small” synth for travel and gigging!
With my Audio Technica monitors I can hear that, yes.
Personally i would prefer the noise to be on a seperate section so you could use both oscillators plus noise but you cant complain much on this price range it can do a lot though as a synth.
Actually there are infinite sets that are more infinite than others. (I’m a mathematician yes). The only wrong part in your video is the infinite times two.. it would be better to say infinite squared. :-P great video again!! Let’s go make some music now!!
I just now noticed that you can't direct an envelope to the intensity of the LFO, meaning you can't make "the minilogue sound" with two shaped sawtooth waves beating against each other, the int all the way up and set to decay in the envelope with little or no rate, that's a very cool sound.
One synthesizer I think you'd like very much is the Perfourmer Mk II, by Vermona.
I'd love to see you review it one day, here's hoping =)
I would love to demonstrate it!
I WANT EVERYTHING.
Marc Thanks so much for your tutorials, I have learned a bunch. Off topic here a little. I am surprised that the Sub 37 never got your amazing synth power wielded upon it. Will there ever be a Sub 37 tutorial series?
Not from me, there won't. Moog Music's management has emotional issues that cloud judgement.
I'm sorry! But I'm glad I've been able to help, and thank you for watching!
is that why you removed / made the sub phatty series not listed?
AutomaticGainsay I assumed it might be something like that. Thanks for the response. 🖖🏻
In a word: Y'BETCHA. :D
'It's great to have two oscillators to beat against each other and create new timbres'
Whoa there buddy there might be children listening please keep it PG
HA HA HA :D
2:25 this goes for any synth... take what it gives you and make the best don't complain about what it doesn't do
Does the amp envelope have the same clicking as the Minilogue? I have a love-hate relationship with my Minilogue cos of that "feature."
For example the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, … etc that we use in everyday maths are less infinite than the real numbers situated among 0 and 1. Ok let’s go play some korg now
I wanted to buy this but as I'm watching all the videos on UA-cam I hear and realise my electribe 2 is capable of the same stuff as a virtual analogue synth just with plenty of more waveforms..what I have to do now?maybe Waldorf Blofeld?
Hello there! I've got one of these (a red one) in the post. I'm a proper newbie (hell ya gotta start somewhere!). What could you recommend as companions for this baby? DrumBrute? Volcas? Some kinda delay? Interested to hear your ideas! Thanks for all the great vids!!

I started reading specs on these during the pre release hype and every site you go to in their description says they have a brushed aluminum top and a real wood back. but unfortunately when mine arrived last week it's plastic and obviously fake wood.. I'm pretty pissed. Did they just decide last minute to cut corners and keep the price the same or was demo models aluminum just to appeal to people to drive up sales?
What presets would you use to get a soft ambient pad sound?
Great set of videos, any chance you could collect them into a playlist on your channel page? I keep coming back and have trouble finding them!
I have been SO neglectful in regard to making playlists! Thank you for reminding me! I will try to get to that, soon. Thank you for watching, and thanks for your patience!
''you think you have an octave but you have slightly less then an octave''........ Moog Prodigy .....10.5 notes pitch , what the hell were they thinking :)
Moog prodigy: expensive and discontinued
Can't you more or less use the fully morphed Saw wave as a second square?
This or microbrute?
You're like the sassiest synth reviewer in the world. lol
I like that title. :D
Have you seen Korg's fake Marc Doty?
No!
"it sounds like white…"
Lil square wave hack is you can just use the saw an octave below and technically you have another square wave and a sub
Cool synth. What do you think is a better overall value, this or the Microbrute?
Also (and I'm sure you never will because you love the pure analog synths) I'm hoping someday you can review the old Ensoniq ESQ-1.
You might not have one, but I'm sure you know somebody out there that you could borrow one from just long enough to do it...
That's a tough question because those synthesizers have such different architecture! I'd have a hard time choosing between them, to be honest. I endorse both!
The ESQ-1 was the second synth I ever had... I bought it new in 1987, and used only it for the next 4 years after that. I actually WOULD do a demo of one! I'm sure I'll get my hands on one again in the future, and I'll do a demo!
Oh cool! That would be awesome, thanks! I, and probably a lot of other people, look forward to it.
I just happened to pick one up off of eBay yesterday, so I had to ask...
If I'm allowed to throw in my opinion: I'd go for the Monologue because you can save your Presets.
yes!!! so much yes on a esq1 video. there is no good videos on that synth and its such a cool piece that needs some love
*****
I'll allow it...
