Thought this was pretty cool/funny.

"I love @moogmusicinc - their synth pad names are hilarious. Anne Boleyn Bass - preset E:91 🎹"
For those not familiar with Anne Boleyn, via Wikipedia: "Anne Boleyn (/ˈbÊŠlɪn/, /bəˈlɪn/ or /bʊˈlɪn/)[3][4] (c. 1501[1] – 19 May 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII, and Marquess of Pembroke in her own right.[5] Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution by beheading, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation."
There was a TV series called The Tudors on King Henry VIII with Anne Boleyn played by Natalie Dormer, who also plays Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones.
The preset as you can see is on the Minimoog Voyager. Regarding creative preset names on Moog synths, they also did a tribute to a number of people in the synth community on the Little Phatty. MATRIXSYNTH ended up factory preset number 70. Click through to see the rest.
Love it when manufacturers do things like this.
Probably refers to the bass sound used by Rick Wakeman on the song Anne Bolyn on his album the six wives of king Henry the 8th. Great album!
ReplyDeleteAh, good call.
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 "wives" patches in Bank E and all are are references to the Wakeman album. They sound pretty damn close to the originals too.
