I’ve made a playlist now. I probably won’t do all these tracks but there definitely some in there that I’d like to do.

I was inclined to make a second pass and filter out those that didn't have enough energy. Some of them are floor fillers, others are in cruise control.

I’ll work on the ones that grab me (if I don’t distracted checking out the cool tracks I don’t know). There were quite a few of the newer tracks I recognised thanks to their being played at fitness classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original sounds a little more rubbery. 38 minutes ago, Quatschmacher said: And here's Shake Your Body: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oo8CL5lIQe54U_VOTY9aMQjsh8EKxDHi Perfect!

The original sounds a little more rubbery. Resonance is pretty low on this, just barely above minimum. I'm not sure what the starting waveforms are on the original. I’ve used a mixture of sawtooth and medium-width pulse as I was hearing some higher harmonics. With at most only 128 steps in the parameters and the fact that these sounds were created on different (and unknown-to-me) synths, it’s only ever going to be an approximation.

Some of the fills are fast. It won’t be as fast as some others as I’ve had to map it at actual pitch; I usually pitch down an octave so I can play higher up to get lower latency. In fact, the range played on the record exceeds that of a four-string bass; you’d need a high C string with 24 frets to play the whole thing as recorded. My guess would be that it was done on a Model D and uses the entire 3.5 octave range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 @Quatschmacher Play list is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLse4iJAB00SvQkR1t_U1NxlHOdI4MIdCl I've added a few more and deleted a load from the list above. A couple of them could probably benefit from a remix - for example, no one has managed to do a great remix of Sweet Dreams and there are literally hundreds out there...but it's a classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If it were me, I'd see what happens with the envelope depth or knock back 800-1000Hz maybe and seeing what that does. Beyond that I would need to play with the patch myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those sound massive like they are done on polysynths in unison mode (i.e. multiple voices on one note multiplied by however many oscillators each voice has). I won’t be able to replicate those unless you hook up multiple FIs. You might be able to get a similar effect by running into a quad chorus. Might even be able to use the onboard chorus with both delay lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the C4 specifically so I could give Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer a crack, but then you'd need my pedalboard as well. It might be that more than one FI wouldn't be necessary if one of the patches is relatively simple - like a squelchy saw wave for example and even the Zoom B3 has a bass synth patch.

Quatschmacher Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) I've finally nailed this track! Here is me playing along (my part is panned more to the right, original more to the left): https://drive.google.com/open?id=16RZShslMt6j8oqF66_DTbgzMRIGtxGWJ Here's my bass part in isolation: I've uploaded this tweaked version of my patch to the file share site.

itu Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I changed the knobs once more, and put the FI as the second in line. Now the FunkyFellow works better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Mine has serial 43 (like the Level 42 song), there are not too many of them, yet. Buy yours thru Reverb.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Here's a comparison of the raw waveforms of FI and C4. FI is played first in both clips, levels all matched prior to recording. Sounds like Soundcloud has introduced some artefacts even though I uploaded in WAV so here they are uploaded directly to Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Y6oeWA9hHq-AsLRwpDVN1V5vuGNgQVIr https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qicuY9iXxvD_pNvuf3khvR5PFwu0ZFdD Edited April 3, 2020 by Quatschmacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
