G-media VSM - Virtual String Machine (with minimoogV)

YouTube via LF0
"This is a short (because my cpu can't handle a lot of shit going while the screen is recording) burst with the G-media VSM, with the Minimoog doing the sequence in the back. Yes the video goes out of sync the video and audio are separate so compression is different. I will upload a solo track with the g-media when I get round to it."

Treating a drumkit through the Moogerfooger filter

YouTube via RothHandle
"Yetsreday I continued working on the Krysztof Antkowiak song 10. And the first thing I started messing with was the acoustic drums.

So I pulled out my old MOogerfooger Low pass filter and treated them through that for some added mellowness...

This film was shot at my studio, Roth Händle in Stockholm. If you like the studio and want to find out more...please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

STEVE PORCARO INTERVIEW - December 2005

Jeff wrote in to let me know about an interview of Toto's Steve Porcaro. You can find it here. The following is an excerpt Jeff called on the synth solo for Rosanna:

"Flash to 3 AM in the morning, the day Greg Ladanyi is suppose to mix Rosanna. David and I are in the studio, everything's setup and working great. ‘We’re gonna finish this ****er, it's the eleventh hour once again’. We decide to use everything in the room and just go around and fill the holes with different “events”. We had the opening line. Then David came up with the descending sequencer line using our Roland Microcomposer playing a Jupiter 8. Then David overlapped that with the gliding Minimoog sound asking me to cop that Rick Wakeman thing with the filter being tracked by the keyboard ala "Catherine of Aragon..."

Lead sound answered by horns answered by lead sound, then David on that sliding ribbon controlled CS-80 riff, then we're stuck. Engineering all of this myself (for which I was nominated for a Grammy award, thank you very much), led us to a happy mistake. Needing tracks, I had erased David's old solo. These were the days when you had to make decisions. Or so I thought. When David and I were trying to figure out what we were going to do for an ending and we just listened through, the final riff appeared out of nowhere, and at the perfect time. I hadn't erased his track all the way through. Thank god. We had all the pieces recorded and sounding great at which point David said "Let's leave it and wait for Tom Knox to come over and bounce it properly". I said "let's not", bounced exactly what we were hearing with all my effects that I was always made to hold off on until we mixed, (then never heard again), and then just hours later beamed, as I watched Ladanyi crank up only two faders, that was our solo. I've always taken credit for the Rosanna solo where in reality, Paich had as much to do with it as I did. Especially the synthy stuff ! All I played was the opening line on the modular horn sound and it’s answers later. What I will take credit for is conceptualizing the whole thing. Thinking like that. Really orchestrating a solo and using all these synths I spent so much time with and showing what could happen when I was given some space that could never ever happen with everyone breathing down your neck."
