In this introductory lesson, we take a guided tour of the Moog Grandmother and outline how the course is structured—giving you a clear roadmap of what you’ll learn and how everything connects within this semi-modular instrument.
Â
You’ll learn how to:
•Understand the overall layout and signal flow of the Grandmother
•Identify the role of oscillators, mixer, filter, envelopes, and modulation
•Grasp the fundamentals of semi-modular synthesis and how patching expands your possibilities
•Navigate modulation sources like LFOs and envelopes
•Explore the patch bay and understand how different modules can be interconnected
Â
