About Course

Dive into the world of semi-modular synthesis with Intro to Moog Mother 32, a hands-on course led by renowned mix engineer and producer Will Marshall, whose credits include collaborations with Oscar-nominated composer Nicholas Britell and Grammy-nominated jazz pioneer Patrick Gleeson. This course is ideal for musicians, producers, and synth enthusiasts eager to explore the unique sound design capabilities of the Moog Mother-32 and learn how to fully integrate this iconic synthesizer into their music production workflow.

Over the span of 23 in-depth lessons, Will walks you through every functional element of the Mother 32: from the oscillator and filter sections to advanced modulation using LFOs and envelopes. You'll learn how to create custom sequences for both studio use and live performance, with clear demonstrations of keyboard modes, step editing, and real-time sequencing controls. Whether you're crafting gritty basslines or evolving textures, this course equips you to get the most out of the synth's analog architecture.

Beyond internal functions, you'll also discover how to navigate the patchbay, mixer, attenuators, and assignable outputs, making the Mother 32 a powerful hub for creative routing and modulation. Will also shows how to clock and sync with external gear, configure the Mother 32 for hybrid setups, and build expressive sounds like acid basslines and pulse-width modulated leads. By the end of the course, you’ll have a working knowledge of modular synthesis principles and the confidence to use the Mother 32 in both recorded and live settings.
