BetaFunk Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Firstly i don't read music so be gentle! The song Forlorn on Night Passage has always intrigued me as the Synth sounds 'off key' (if that's the correct term) towards the end of the song. I realise that's the aim but how does Joe Zawinul get that sound? Is it pitch bending? I saw Weather Report do this song live and it was a bit mind bending.

Bilbo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It' all in the programming of his synths. JZ was renowned for messing with them. On Black Market, for instance, he has the keyboard programmed the wrong way around (high notes to the left, low to the right) etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just reading Brian Glasser's book on Zawinul again. When i saw Weather Report (Victor Bailey period) i remember there was much synth strangeness even before the band appeared on stage with the stage in near total darkness and before Victor appeared out of a trunk!
