Verde Rayo Japanese Train Melody + TUTORIAL (JR East Departure Melody) JR東日本 発車メロディー

video upload by csmcrckrs

"I heard this a lot when I was visiting Japan last year!
Gear used:
- several instances of Nord Electro 6 for the arpeggio
- several instances of Sequential Prophet 5 for the chords
- liberal amounts of reverb & bitcrushing for a realistic train station sound ;)"

Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody (Minimoog Bass Cover)

video upload by csmcrckrs

"Another holy grail song for funk bass. Dialing in the bass sound was easier than expected: Pretty much all the synth sounds and the bass lines are quite straightforward ... the arrangement and production quality is perfection, though!

Most other covers/playalongs on yt use sawtooth vcos and sound quite off ... the trick is to start with a pulse wave, and everything will fall in place pretty fast!

Gear used: Minimoog for the bass, Theis Modular System for the intro sequence, Prophet 5 for various synth sounds, Fender Stratocaster (JP) for the guitar tracks. Drums, mixing and editing done in Ableton Live."

Kashif - Just Gotta Have You (Minimoog Bass Cover)

video by csmcrckrs

"I finally mustered up the courage to tackle one of Kashif's songs ... Kashif being one of the (if not THE) greatest and imo the holy grail of that Minimoog bass sound. Pretty happy with the results! Gear used: Minimoog for the bass, Nord Electro for e-piano, Roland Juno-60 and Sequential Prophet 5 for some synth parts, Fender Strat (JP) for the guitars. Drums, mixing and editing done in Ableton Live."

Aretha Franklin - Get It Right (Minimoog Bass Cover)

csmcrckrs

"I don't even know if there's any synth bass in the original or if it is bass guitar only, but the song just called for a Minimoogification. Gear used: pretty much what you see in the video ... Minimoog for the bass, Nord Electro for the piano and e-piano, some guitar tracks on top of that. Drums, editing, mixing done in Ableton Live."

The System - You Are In My System (Minimoog Bass Playalong)

Published on Apr 20, 2019 csmcrckrs

"A reconstruction of one of The System's most popular tracks ... with an extremely busy bassline only David Frank could have executed this flawlessly (played or programmed though? I'll have to admit that it took me at least 30 takes before I got it reasonably right, and even then I had to do quite a bit of editing in Ableton Live). This time I nailed the sound pretty well imo.

Published on Mar 5, 2018 csmcrckrs
