Moog Music Dives Deep: Modulation Demystified on the Minimoog

Moog Music’s official channel returns with another educational gem, this time dissecting the art and science of modulation in synthesis. Using the Minimoog as a hands-on laboratory, the video explores how control voltages, LFOs, envelopes, and even a dash of randomness transform static tones into expressive, living sounds. The lesson is both a technical breakdown and an invitation to experiment, revealing how modulation is the true heart of synthesis—far beyond mere oscillators and filters. For anyone curious about the patchable soul of Moog’s instruments, this is a must-watch.

MAKEN0ISE PoliMATHS: Oscillation, Submixing, and Audio-Rate Adventures

Make Noise, the Asheville-based maestros of modular mischief, dive deep into the less obvious corners of their PoliMATHS module in this exploratory video.

If you’ve ever wondered how to wrangle eight function generators into something more than the sum of their parts—or how to patch up a storm without a tangle of cables—this walkthrough is a must-watch for the patch-hungry and the curious alike.

Woody Piano Shack’s CRUMAR SORRENTO Organ: Hammond Dreams or Digital Daydream?

Woody Piano Shack takes the CRUMAR SORRENTO organ for a spin – and not just with the rotary sim.
