Moog Auto De-tune

Introducing Moog Music’s MF-401 Auto De-tune, featuring Authentic Vocal Imperfection(tm) technology, even a T-Pain vocal can be restored to its complete original character, scrubbing the pitch correction and leaving the untreated vocal in all its wavering sharp or flat glory. Results may vary, and Moog Music in no way bears responsibility for discomfort or irritation caused by the use of the MF-401.

It’s completely programmable, but also has a number of presets, including:

• Drunk as a Sailor
• Seattle sensitive alternative warble
• Where did all the green room beer go?
• Original Star Trek cast member attempts to make pop music
• My vocal monitor is blown, so Soundman, please mix me REALLY low
• Mrs. Miller
• Too punk rock to turn down your !#$%&*!! stage volume
• Cat in an alley under a full moon
• Tone Def
• Florence Foster Jenkins

This is a work inspired by the “Oldschool” ambient sound of artists like Steve Roach and Klaus Schulze, also like 1980s ambient music such as the famous Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. I have always been a huge fan of this type of ambient music, and finally got a synthesizer which allows me to make it. 

“1986” is straight synthesizer music, with no external FX or computer processing. The computer was only used to record the live performance. The synth I use is the Casio CZ-3000 which is a “Phase Distortion” synthesizer…

West Coast Boys: Dutch Electro Portraits

Paul Langlade calls it “gear porn” or “synth porn” because - jammed as they are with sequencers, synthesizers, samplers and various other pieces of equipment - his photographs of the leading lights in the Dutch electro scene are a music nerd’s wet dream.
