How to Use a Subtractive Analog Synthesizer is a short section taken from a commercial video series on the principles of subtractive synthesis.

via metakinetics:

This is a brief sample of an extensive introductory video tutorial on the principles of subtractive synthesis. Knowing these principles is essential to creating the evolving sounds often heard in various forms of electronic music. This video tutorial uses the Logic ES1 and ES2 as example virtual instruments to demonstrate the principles. Topics covered include signal flow, waveforms, filters, envelopes and LFOs.

This is a great video to get you started with one of these instruments: LinPlug Albino, Native Instruments Massive, Native Instruments Pro-53, Propellerhead Reasons Subtractor, Ableton Live Operator, Ableton Live Analog, Moog Voyager, Dave Smith Evolver, Prophet 5, Alesis Andromeda, Access Virus, Nord Lead Waldorf Q, Alesis ION, Alesis MICRON, Logic ES1, Logic ES2.

The Moogist Talks, and looks at what you can do with 1 note on a monophonic Moog Minimoog Voyager synthesizer.

What can you do with a single note/sound? Besides its legendary tone, the Moog Synthesizer is known for its monophonic nature – the ability to produce only 1 note at a time. Therefore, the goal of The Moogist is to “think outside the box” with this certain limitation – whatever it takes – to make beautiful music with this amazing machine/instrument. “Moogist Talks”A short film by Tim Tsang, a.k.a. “The Moogist” August 2009 Moogist plays the “Minimoog Voyager Electric Blue” Picture of Voyager taken by Wowee Posadas

Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Project) gives a quick demonstration of using the Moog Minimoog Voyager’s Touch Surface CV outputs to simultaneously control two Moogerfoogers.

He does this using the Touch Surface CV outputs on the VX-351 Output Expander.

The X-axis CV is sent to a Mult, where it outputs two identical copies of the CV. One copy is sent through an inverting attenuator on a CP-251 Control Processor. Both CV are sent to the Mix inputs of the Moogerfoogers.

Since one of the CV’s is inverted, positive Touch Surface “X” values increase the mix of one. Negative “X” values increase the mix on the other.

This video’s title, Moog: Dance Music Applications of Rhythmic Filter Modulation, makes it sound like it’s part of somebody’s dissertation – but it’s really an official demo video from Moog Music:

The MF-101 Low Pass Filter’s ENV OUT Control Voltage makes a number of amazing Rhythmic Modulation techniques possible. This video shows some of these applications in a Dance Music setting. This technique is not limited to Dance Music. The applications are as endless as your imagination.

MoonSatellite – Sequenzer I (extrait) is a very nice live Berlin-school style synth jam.
