cptmaximum Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - sampling? you serious dude?

acousvnt Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yep, I'm serious, dude! I said, "as far as I know", though, so I could be mis-remembering whatever I heard or read. Everything he's known for is analog, though.

acousvnt Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - It wouldn't surprise me if he had a bit of stagefright.

cptmaximum Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - this guy was one of the pioneers of sound synth. sampling is like recording a piano sound and putting it in a keyboard or like moog sounds and putting them on vst or something. he actually built some of the first machines that could produce the sounds though. this is like in the 50s and 60s so nothing was really digital. but that's why moogs have a "fat" sound because theyre analog. just like a guitar voice on a keyboard doesnt sound as full as an actual guitar.

cptmaximum Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - this fairlight thing is probably digital though, it looks more like a modern day keyboard. to be honest i was just listening to his story and not paying much attention to what was right in front of him. i see what you were saying now though. yeah i dont know what he had to do with that.

acousvnt Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yes, I know who Bob Moog is, what sampling is, and the difference between analog and digital. What I'm saying is, it's weird to see him present the Fairlight, because the Fairlight was a digital sampler, and therefore didn't have much in common with the kind of synthesizers he pioneered.

Aug 21, 2008 - CLEARLY HE'S THE MAN FOR THE JOB...ITS MISTER MOOG HIMSELF,REVEILING YET ANOTHER KEYBOARD PARADIGM..ITS JUST SOME ONE ELSE'S CREATION.IMAGINE HOW BOB FELT LEARNING ABOUT THIS STEP IN MUSICAL ADVANCEMENT..PROB.BLOWN AWAY AND REALLY EXCITED TO BE THE PERSON PRESENTING THIS TO THE PUBLIC.(If not a little nervous);>..And prob. honored as a fellow pioneer of the times

Aug 21, 2008 - It makes sense because the CMI was such a huge step, it was only natural for him to be interested in it and comment on it. He loves any kind of electronic music device. If he ignored it, he'd look foolish. Back then people where knew it was a new invention etc. And probably didn't know where things would go either.

Aug 21, 2008 - wow :) Dr Moog and a Fairlight! Yes the Fairlight is beautiful, but Stevie Wonder didn't write Talking Book on one, Dr Moog you're a genius and I love you. Rest in Peace.

seeem Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yea for sure, Dr Moog is there totally out of a token of respect (towards him), if he's talking about something, everyone in the business would listen. It's like getting Newton to talk about science, or Muhammad Ali to talk about boxing, Dr Moog pretty much gave birth to synthesizers, analog or digital, he more or less started it all.

seeem Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - He was so nervous too hehehe there's nothing like giving yourself an easy name to quote when you're nervous!! vladimir ussachevsky

Aug 21, 2008 - I got to see a presentation of his just before he passed. Very cool guy and very friendly! I still have his autograph that says, "Hi Patrick!" :) He will be missed.

LuxX63 Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Oh yes yes,good dad MOOG,but because him and other electronics pioneers we now have a world of stupid jerks who are with successful with software and computers, make a boat of money without moving too fingers on keyboards, without deep knowledge and we also now steal money with rhythm and sounds increasingly extreme and disturbing ... the praise you this? Not me, I worked with electronics and now I have understood the limits! too beautiful and easy dear gentlemen!Human feeling dying!

fivefoflow Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yeah, there are alot of smug pricks out there useing FL studio and other such software. I don't commend them much. But there are also a lot of other people using good synths and samplers(like the MC 808) That can do some amazing things with such equipment. wether they actually learned how to play the piano or not isn't a big deal, it's the creativity that I like about it.

sphinxmorraine Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - i don't care if you play a guitar or if you use a computer and synthesis at the end of the day you still need to be able to write a tune. which believe it or not is not easy any which way.
