I owned my Juno 106 from 1985 until about 1988. I got an early start in presenting\n            about synthesizers. My mom saw the fascination I had with the synthesizer she had bought me, and she thought\n            her students would probably be interested, too.

Around the 5th grade I started exploring guitar as well. For the rest of my life, as I would learn something on one instrument I would see what I could apply from it to other instruments I play. A few years back I counted, and if you stretch the definition of musical instrument, I had about 80 instruments in my apartment. I blame an early exposure to Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells”. \n                                        \u003C/p>\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cp>Stack’s vast instrument collection includes everything from synthesizers and guitars to percussion instruments, flutes and bells.\u003Cbr> He also owns many exotic instruments, like ouds and rebabas - middle-eastern lutes and bowed instruments - as well as Japanese and bamboo flutes.

Thinking back on it now, it’s hard to describe that experience. Today we can do pretty much anything we want to with sound. You want a sound that morphs between a bagpipe and a backwards bullfrog? No problem. There are new sounds in almost every pop song you hear. Not so back then. Almost every song we heard on television, the radio or our record players in those days was created from the same limited tonal palette. Not so with this album. It was relatively ancient music played on an instrument from outer space and it was made from sounds we didn’t even know could exist!\n                                        \u003C/p>\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cp class=\"quote\">The teacher then told us about how the music was created with the Moog synthesizer.

His first synth was a KORG MicroPreset. Then a KORG 770. Then a Micromoog. Then… many, many more. By the late 80s, his passion for synthesizers and electronics had developed into a career as a printed circuit board designer in South Carolina. He noticed an article in the local newspaper that Bob Moog was hosting a public lecture at a college in Asheville, NC.\n                                        \u003C/p> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">It was only about an hour away, and nothing was going to stop me from attending. I don’t clearly remember everything he talked about, but I think it was a general overview of electronic music from his unique vantage point. I remember him playing the Theremin and also demonstrating a musical concept on a non-Moog keyboard. I believe it may have been a Casio CZ-1. There was a question and answer session at the end and I remember someone rather rudely asking him if he was behind the times because he hadn’t jumped on the digital bandwagon. Bob very graciously answered him and explained that analog and digital were both great tools for creating sound and that analog was just what he knew better.\u003C/p>\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cimg alt=\" \" src=\"https://www.arturia.com/images/stories/chris_stack/moog.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\">\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cimg alt=\" \" src=\"https://www.arturia.com/images/stories/chris_stack/bmf_yes.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\">\u003C/div> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cp>After the lecture, Dr. Bob Moog helped clear the stage, and chatted with some of attendees.

Guitar players, for\n              instance, are obsessed with their tone, and it really is a proper science getting the right guitar with\n              the right wood, the right pickups through the right pedals, and the right amp and cab. However, their\n              initial “waveform” (talking in synthesis terms) is always going to be the same: an oscillating steel\n              string. Not to mention the limitations of the range of notes available, the lack of total control over the\n              amplitude, its harmonics, etc. As a keyboard player, you have access to all the elements of a sound: its\n              amplitude, pitch, timbre, etc., and absolute freedom of what “waveform” to use, the harmonics you add, the\n              behavior of the sound over time, etc.\n            \u003C/p>\n          \u003C/div>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\n            \u003Cp>Over the last decade, harnessing this power became Diego’s quest; making a conscious decision to never\n              use presets, and always program his own sounds, aiming to get a unique sound as a player not only\n              musically, but sonically.

Eventually, I started buying digital synthesizers, but\n              for me, it still wasn’t the real thing. Digital synthesizers are too “perfect,” and oftentimes you have to\n              fight them to get a sound with “character.” Nonetheless, through the use of software and digital synths, I\n              got comfortable with programming and synthesis.\n            \u003C/p>\n          \u003C/div>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"quote\">By comparison, playing and programming the MatrixBrute is such an overwhelming joy!

Utilizing the two main LFO's I switch the volume of the VCO 1 and 2 this creates a split between an acid style sound and more traditional lead/bass sound. Turning the macro 1 allows you to overdrive the two VCO’s or take it negative to solo just one VCO and the filter resonance while shortening the envelopes for a more plucky sound. Macro 2 adds in a tempo sync'd analog delay great for giving the sequence a feeling of space.
