Synth Wizards Episode 13: The Moog Modular Mission

The Synth Wizards have been asked to find rare synthesizers before. But none quite so rare as this one. Oh, and could it please be delivered to a snowy mountaintop? In December, just following a blizzard? Join us in the hunt for a Moog System 55 modular synth, and watch the drama unfold.

Fabulous. What a history. I just picked up a Behringer System 55 complete. Stoked to dive in.. especially after this gem. Bravo.

RIP Herbert Deutsch, who worked with Bob on the design. I got to study electronic music with him at Hofstra University and attended some presentations by pioneers there.

These are so heartwarming. What a great result.

Btw 16:26 was your finest joke to date.

Thank you Sir. Such an inspiring and beautiful documentary. I give you literally my last £2 in my account until payday. Thank you! I look forward to discovering your channel. Excellent voiceover.

This reminds me of those reality shows I always get stuck watching when I visit my parents. Except this was... entertaining. Great show guys! Congrats and keep up the great work. ♥️🙂👍

i am REALLY having a good and expensive laugh on your humour and all the love you put into these wonderful movies.

Just bought something from you guys. And then discovered this. Awesome work!!!

When you typed "does Behringer make a system 55 clone", I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Great video!

[ErichWK]

Googling "does behringer make a Moog system 55" killed me.

Nice to see where my CS-80 ended up. 🙂 (Still sad to let it go, but it'll be far better untilized than when I had it for many decades)

Aw, man… this is so cool! I got “Switched-On Bach” for my birthday in 1973, and instantly fell in love with Carlos’s extraordinary work—and also that Moog modular synth behind JSB on the cover. In short order I bought all the other Carlos albums, and many of the ones that came after. A teenaged keyboardist myself, I knew I would have a synth of my own someday, and when I got older I started buying them. But none has been modular. At least so far. But maybe one o’ these days…

I always enjoy your videos, and this one was a treat. Congrats on all your finds, and thanks for the fine work. 😎

Aw sweet, new episode of my favorite YouTube occasional docuseries dropped! My complements to Sam and the production team!

[fuTuRo-Sonic]

These are so wonderful and this is the best episode yet. As good as anything shot for mainstream TV but WAY more interesting!

[soulflower]

Synth Wizards is the best show on Youtube

[russell_szabados]

A day when I discover a new episode of Synth Wizards is inevitably a good day.

[macronencer]

Another brilliant episode - I love the style of these, the drama and the comedy and the SYNTHS. Wow, my heart started racing when he finally opened that first box and we got a proper look at the Moog.

Glad to see Walter Carlos mentioned. I once emailed Wendy from our mutual home city, Pawtucket.Rhode Island. To me, she replied telling me she had grown up in the same library. She later became my lifelong curiosity making music on a thing called a synthesizer..

[cincinnatiwest]

Excellent. I could swear I smelled new synth smell as he removed that plastic!

[hyperhypedrop]

Practice makes perfect and these videos are constantly getting better and better. This episode, much like the CS80 episode, is like the perfect synth video.

Love the wizardry, the poetry, the abundant romance and attention to detail. My Saturday night viewing gets a easy 10 out of 10.

I wonder what the next one will be?
