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."

"Just a quick test of my new sequencer. Only one row of the sequencer is used and only one module is used. Sequencer: Doepfer MAQ 16/3. Module: Doepfer A-111-5. Plus a heavy amount of delay."

Going Modular - Test 5

YouTube Uploaded by csmcrckrs on Jul 20, 2011
"A little improvisation on the Theis Modular System.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sequences: Doepfer MAQ 16/3.
Some reverb from the Lexicon MPX100.
I tried to smooth the levels and added a bit of ping pong delay in Ableton Live."

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."

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."
