Bjooks Patch & Tweak with Moog - Manuel pour Instruments Clés

Product Information

Besides a comprehensive introduction to synthesis and its history, the book covers systematic sections on concepts, purpose and creative possibilities of specific modules. Enjoy colorful diagrams, presentations of both popular and rare modules, semi-modular and software, as well as techniques for patching and how to get started.

How do successful artists turn their modular synthesizers into power and beauty? Learn from the best, from award-winning composers to the hottest new sound designers from around the world. Read and learn with Caterina Barbieri, Todd Barton, Colin Benders, Ian Boddy, Russell E.L. Butler, Richard Devine, Jill Fraser, Bana Haffar, Hataken, Andrew Huang, Junkie XL, NODE, Robert Rich, Robin Rimbaud, Lady Starlight, Emily Sprague, and Hans Zimmer, among others. The NTS-2 kit and book were conceived and developed to complement each other, providing not only a fascinating insight into synth usage and history, but also the tools to guide and inspire synth lovers at any stage of their musical journey.There are also numerous patch diagrams throughout, from basic concepts to favorite patches of many of the artists we interviewed. And beyond that, the information on how each type of module works and interacts with others will lead you to create new sounds – your own sounds – from scratch. We also don’t just tell you now to use that popular module everybody said you should buy; we make you aware of dozens of modules that perform similar functions in different ways. Our goal is to show you what to look for in a module to meet your own specific needs, as well as what new capabilities it will give you.

The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a DIY “Swiss army knife” for musicians. Building on a 4-channel oscilloscope, it includes a flexible waveform generator, spectrum analyser, and tuner functions that make it the ideal addition to any studio. With these two caveats in mind, Patch & Tweak With Moog is a must-have book for Moog fans. Readers will learn about Moog history, how the company creates new designs and how artists work with their instruments. And, if you own any of the synths that the book covers in depth, you’ll find patch diagrams to try, insight on the instruments from their creators and inspiration from well-known synthesists. Like Bjørn’s previous books, Patch & Tweak With Moog is gorgeous. You can flip to any random spread and find something that draws you in. It offers reams of basic information about synthesis, and pairs that with detailed illustrations and photographs that demonstrate how you can immediately apply the concepts that are discussed. Thousands of modular synthesists – beginners and experienced musicians alike - have widened their horizons and deepened their understanding with PATCH & TWEAK. Now it’s your turn.PATCH & TWEAK with Moog is half creative inspiration and half loving celebration. Dive deep into the possibilities of five Moog semi-modular synthesizers, while celebrating all things Moog.
