The ultimate limited-edition bundle for synth fans, comprising the all-new NTS-2 oscilloscope kit alongside a copy of the new “Patch & Tweak with Korg” book. The book explores semi-modular synthesis and features more than 25 new exclusive interviews with Pete Townshend, Jean-Michel Jarre, Richard Devine and more. The forward is by Hans Zimmer, who shares his personal experience in taking inspiration from early synth albums like Switched On Bach. He also shares this history of his personal Moog modular system, which was originally owned by The Beatles, then The Rolling Stones and then Chris Franke of Tangerine Dream.

PUSH TURN MOVE is written by Danish designer, author, lecturer and electronic musician Kim Bjørn and edited by Mike Metlay, editor at Recording Magazine and Paul Nagle, reviewer at Sound on Sound Magazine. Meet the creative minds of Korg’s great history, from Fumio Mieda and Junichi Ikeuchi to Tatsuya Takahashi and the new generation of Korg engineers, as well as the keepers of the ARP legacy: Dina Pearlman, David Friend, and David Mash. Specifications Bundle The beauty of semi-modular synthesizers is that you can start playing them right away, but with a few patch cables and some inspiration, you can take them so much further. PATCH & TWEAK With Moog ground you in the basics of synthesis, control voltage, and audio patching, then carries these concepts into practical use on each of the five Moog synths. From there, you’ll learn how to further expand your world by connecting them to one another, and even combining them with external synthesizer modules and other gear.PATCH & TWEAK is a comprehensive look at modular synthesizers. It explores how to build them, how to use them, and how to get the most out of them, with beautiful illustrations and step-by-step tutorials with easy-to-read patch diagrams. PATCH & TWEAKprovides an opportunity for new and experienced users to become true masters of their modular systems by exploring, explaining, and demystifying a range of topics relevant to anyone interested in modular synths or just synthesis itself. A cornerstone of PATCH & TWEAK is a bouquet of inspirational interviews with significant creators and major artists. Learn about their systems, philosophies, patching secrets, performance tips, and passion for modular synthesis.

Ean Golden, Axel Hartmann, Larry Heard, Roger Linn, Keith McMillen, Moldover, Jordan Rudess, Dave Smith, Tatsuya Takahashi, and others, along with well-known music industry brands like Ableton, Arturia, DJ TechTools, Elektron, Korg, Make Noise, monome, Moog, Native Instruments, Novation, Propellerhead, Roland, Teenage Engineering, and Yamaha. First, it really focuses on Moog’s mainstream patchable synths: the Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Grandmother & Matriarch. If you really want to know more about the classic Moog modular designs, or if you’ve been dreaming about a Moog One, you won’t find a lot of info on either of them here.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. Dive into the ideas behind music gear like synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, DJ equipment, DAWs, and iOS apps. Explore sections on design principles, control elements, visualization of sound, and concepts such as grids, MPC, multitouch, modular, and much more. PUSH TURN MOVE is the very first book of its kind. Kim Bjørn, creator of the now industry-standard books PUSH TURN MOVE, PATCH & TWEAK and PEDAL CRUSH, says: “We're truly excited at BJOOKS about this collaboration with legendary Moog Music. The historical legacy of Bob Moog and the renowned Moog synthesizers have been a true inspiration for musicians for decades. I love patching and tweaking Moog's semi-modular synths, and we’re thrilled to bring this book with inspiration, interviews, and creative tips to synth newbies and seasoned Moog lovers alike.”

PATCH & TWEAKhas a foreword by Suzanne Ciani, is written by Kim Bjørn and Chris Meyer, and edited by Paul Nagle.Modular synthesizers are an open book waiting to be written – a prospect that can be pretty scary for a beginner. PATCH & TWEAK is here to help, with step-by-step strategies for building a modular that will reflect your creative desires. Start with an empty case, and learn about everything that can go into it. There’s even a guide to semi-modular and software solutions to help get you started. 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. 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.

Bjørn and Meyer’s creation is a must-have compendium of All Things Modular Synthesis looking at the inventors, the gear, the users, and the techniques. (…) Explanations are clear and fathomable. Thumbnail sketches of circuitry and the plethora of sharply photographed modules and screens combine to make this both a pleasurable and informative read, whether you like to dip and dive or go the full immersion from cover to cover. (…) Patch & Tweak ploughs its own furrow: educationally accurate and informative but also approachable and beautifully presented. (…) Highly recommended for any one with an interest in synthesizers ancient, modern or something in between.” – Alan Parsons Art & Science of Sound Recording This information is supplemented by interviews with a tasty selection of module manufacturers, including Verbos Electronics, Frap Tools, Mutable Instruments, WMD, Make Noise Music, Intellijel, Endorphin.es, 4ms Company, Noise Engineering, Rossum Electro-Music, Erica Synths, and Music Thing Modular, diving into their own personal philosophies that motivate them to create the modules they do.Meet the artists, designers, makers and their instruments and see how they have shaped the world of electronic music. 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. As in Push Turn Move, the tour of concepts and hardware is broken up by a large number of interviews and patching tips from leading lights in the scene, from artists to makers, sound designers to YouTubers.
