Marc
Doty—lead educator for The Bob Moog Foundation—is back with a
series of tutorials in this course on Voltage Control.
But what is Voltage Control and how do you use it in the world of
hardware synths? Well, here's the story: In the early days of sound
synthesis, if you wanted your sounds to change or evolve in any way
whatsoever, you had to do it manually. Need the pitch to go up?
Grab the the oscillator knob and turn it! Want the volume to
change? Again, grab the volume knob! What about sequencing a series
of notes? Well, before voltage control, you had t…

Grab the the oscillator knob and turn it! Want the volume to
change? Again, grab the volume knob! What about sequencing a series
of notes? Well, before voltage control, you had to record every
pitch onto magnetic tape and cut them all together in the order and
rhythm that you wanted. It was hard work to create electronic music
way back when!
Voltage control forever changed all that! And in this course
Marc Doty shows how different hardware synth designers
harness the power of VCs to transform and supercharge electronic
music composition. Taken one step further you'll see how
Voltage Control was the mother of MIDI... and we all know how
powerful MIDI is!
Bob Moog was an early pioneer and inventor of
voltage-controlled analog synthesizers. He revolutionized the music
industry and his ideas, inventions and musical instruments have
dominated the sound of music for more than 30 years. Aside
from being an innovator, Dr. Bob was an outspoken advocate of
education. The Bob Moog Foundation, created by his daughter,
Michelle Moog-Kousa, continues his legacy with Dr. Bob's
SoundSchool, the preservation of his inventions and the
development of the Moogseum—the only museum of its kind dedicated
to the advancement of sonic education. We hope you will
help support the BMF's efforts by watching these courses with the
