A Behringer Poly D’s sequencer is providing the rhythm. It was kept in sync with the drum track via the BeatBuddy’s midi output. The lead, synth bass and solo tracks were created with the Minimoog.
This is a more interesting video for one of my better songs that I wrote and recorded in 2024. The song features Two analog synth sequencers “covalently bonded” (via midi) and living in perfect symbiosis with a BeatBuddy funk drum track and a Fender Strat drenched in an Oceans 12 dual reverb. Everything was recorded direct into a Behringer mixer.
Another instrumental song idea based on a sequenced Moog Spectravox and Moog Mavis with a bass lead provided by the Minimoog. I was testing the preset from the manual called, “Sawyer Bass.” Notice the Overload lamp coming on as the output signal is being routed back in via the External Input. It is internally wired that way when the Ext. Input rocker switch is on and there is nothing plugged into the Ext. Input jack. It is a form of overdrive distortion that folks discovered back in the day and Moog added the feature to the newer Model D’s.
A very chill piece, considering it has a Samba drum track. It features a Martin DC Aura on rhythm with a Moog Mavis analog synth providing an ethereal lead. A Rickenbacker 4003 provides the bass. Composed and recorded in one evening. Drums by BeatBuddy.
The title of this song comes from the fact that I used a tone on my Les Paul that was reminiscent of something between “American Woman” and “Outside Woman Blues.” Impromptu was added because, well, it isn’t a blues song and the leads were pretty much ad-lib.
A “feel good” instrumental with a driving bass line and several layers of Stratocaster, including a simulated vibraphone track. What’s not to like?
