spacefunk, all synths all LP

It’s an honour for me you registered just for this comment! Basic idea for the sound of the bass is hsving OSC 1 at 16" and OSC2 at 4". And the modulation put to OSC 2 only. To keep the lows tight :slight_smile:

I think I don’t have this exact sound anymore right now. Editing too much :wink: But it shouldn’t be too difficult to make. I do think I still have the “wobble” and the lead sound with the amplitude envelope of a piano. The C64 like sound is too easy too program to store.. Faster to program then to search for it :wink:

But again, thanks a lot for registering to tell me this!

It makes me so happy to hear this. Thank you very, very much for sharing your joy!

23

And for me it’s an honor to hear this from you! Every day I play the LP, and every time I play it I’m happy :smiley:

…yep, really well done. Phatty sounds alive! … I remember reading back a bit about some very successful ($) keyboardist, who, after spending some of his $$$ on every conceivable unit, found it almost impossible to work with that many “choices”… so, perhaps, limiting yourself to just a few instruments (or one, :wink: ) can indeed be a great way to compose…

After working a while with the phatty now, and because of it ditching my other synths (no pussy’s, MKS80 and Prophet08, stopped using m) I think I know why I love this synth so much.

After working with loads of synths the thing that stood out for me the most on the LP (maybe every moog) is the mixing engine of the OSC. It makes both OSC fight for their piece of amplitude, and then including the overdrive.. just wow.. this synth is just so alive! Of course the filter is lovely (I love the 1 poly.. DIRTY!) but the amplifying part is the most loved part for me. I can feel the detune, instead of only hearing it.

Even though I now have the LP for a year or so now.. Every time I play it, the LP makes me have a big smile on my face, like when I play a new fantastic synth I own, EVERY TIME! This is the first synth I had or have played which is such a joy to play with, to experiment with, to enjoy it’s sounds, enjoying the interface, it just keeps getting me excited to play more music!

Dear moog, I love you :slight_smile:

Very well done!
I like the song as is (without the not yet added vocals). :smiley:
This is very much the type of Moog music I like!

Thanks for this great tune!

Very nice.

How about some more sick lead instead of vocals? :smiley:

Amazing stuff!

Reminds me of the synth bassline in Parliament’s Flashlight. And that’s my favourite bassline of all time!

Btw, could someone recommend me more music in the vein of this instrumental synth-driven funk?

P.S. Liked the second tune as well!

ah, you need a sexy woman to sing on that track… moaning and cooing.

I’m currently busy arranging the track but I assure you I did arrange a female singer for this :wink:

To be clear, she’s the one from my band.
