MJ Thriller Explained: Synthesizers And Pads

[@kleetus92]

As an electrical engineer and just a person who really enjoys music, I really love seeing how all of this is produced.

[@anasic]

I'm in 4th year, studying to be become an electrical engineer. I've been making and producing music on the side. Saying 'hi' from here.

[@mookie34545]

I don't get why this channel doesn't have more subscribers. I'd love to see more songs deconstructed like this.

[@dominiquejenkins5495]

Lol because he's not buying subs he's getting them honestly

[@chackmtz]

Because he does not leave the final song playing.

[@dominiquejenkins5495]

@Squad 47 I might have to agree with you lol

[@tamer27antepli]

Hé should do a reveal at xxxxx subscribers lmao

[@InBoostWeTrust7MGTE]

Because its for very specific audience that is not THAT large like cat videos

[@lickopotamusslurperton1944]

Yes, when Doctor Mix says the Jupiter 8 is: "Very expensive, very big and very rare". He really means it. I've just had a look at some examples.

[@InXLsisDeo]

The even better news is that Roland now makes the Roland Boutique JP-08 which is pretty close in sound to the Jupiter 08 and much much cheaper. And it has MIDI.

[@Gilvalsegurancadiferente]

How can you dislike a video with a Jupiter-8, a Moog and a Rhodes in it?!?! Among others!

[@jespersails]

mostly by 90 dimwits who had no idea of whats going on.....

[@wizardOfRobots]

I couldn't resist the drums and bass going off in my head.

[@paulanderson79]

Love the way those harmonics die away one at a time on the filter sweep 3:36

[@MorieskeD]

Great set of videos! Please make a deconstruction of Prince's 1999. Nobody seems to know the right chords, voicings or sounds (and equipment) used. Keep up the good work!

[@lorenzoburton3974]

Because Prince was studio genius.

[@tomloncaric6189]

Truly awesome. I've never seen a such a sophisticated pop song with so many parts duplicated and explained so exactly. You're a great teacher!

[@vinylbeatz]

[@Somedei]

The synth open has real played trumpets also sounding through all the track, nice video man

[@DerekHartley]

So does he in the video from the previous week.

[@Snavels]

The track has a Flute, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and Trombone in it.

[@L77kim77l]

Which reminds me to rush to your addictive full Thriller version ... _again_ :)

[@56k_Connection]

Just found your channel and I'm loving the content! Your focus on old analog instruments gets me right in all the feels. I've gotten the analog bug recently and as much fun as collecting is, it's damn pricey. I doubt I'll ever actually own a Jupiter-8, so it's nice watching one from afar doing what it does best. Cheers!

[@telejim2238]

This is by far my favourite channel at the moment. Well done on this, I've been amazed for days!

[@raydeen2k]

I've got an old JX-8P and I thought that had some round, fat sound to it. Nothing compared to this beast! My holy grail as far as Roland keyboards go is to someday get a JX-10. My math teacher had one and that thing just had the most awesome sound to it. Huge, lush, great weighted keys, tons of settings to really fine tune the patches...just a super machine overall.

[@alexogtheosub9046]

Every time you upload You really make my day Keep up good work 👍👍👍

[@PeopleGetUp]

Love your channel brother. Keep the 'analog' fires burning HOT! 🔥

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Sweet! I'm lucky enough to have a Jupiter 8. I need to get these patches from you. :) Thanks for the upload. Sam

[@cmathews2112]

How would he do that? Record the cassette output to a .wav file? Or maybe a sysex dump if he has an Encore midi interface?

[@Ally8-4]

Damn you!

[@raydeen2k]

@@cmathews2112 We do it the old fashioned way. We write the settings down on paper, photocopy them, and mail them. :D I've actually wanted to start a Casio CZ enthusiast site/sub reddit for some time now where users could trade patches with maybe an Excel sheet or Google doc template. The CZ series was damn amazing when it came to patches. Eight step instead of four step individual envelope settings for the pitch, filter and volume, built in Ring Modulation, pretty cool PCM waveforms with a noise waveform for percussive or breathy effects, Phase Distortion (Casio's in house synth tech) couldn't replicate the old fat analog sound, but it was much more expressive and in your face than the typical FM sound tech from Yamaha. I can still slay with my CZ-101. :)

but you didn't show us the PATCHES bro. i have a Jupiter 8 and was hoping you would show HOW you got to the patch not just flipping through the patches.

[@StephanS]

I recently got me a Jupiter 8 after i sold my first one in 2007.. back then it was very hard to sell it, because everyone was losing its mind about software... now that HW is in vogue again, i paid a fuckload for it

[@Shevaron]

Sounds sooooo nice

5:55 GTA V loading screen anyone? :D

Didn't West End Girls use to be the loading screen song?

Hey doctor mix this is the best cover of thriller that has ever filled my ears, my dream is to make a film of thriller and I would use this version as the main theme (I'm not actually making a film of thriller, it's one of my aspirations) and credits and I found a video of your amazing cover but with the vocals and it's amazing and now I coming down with a severe case of synth fever 😂 😂 you only have 278k subs but you deserve a million though keep up the good work doc 👍 👍 👍

Hey doctor Mix. I was just wondering if you by any chance have the sheet music for the brass wind line. I can't seem to get it by ear, so I was wondering if you add the sheet music for it. Love from Jamaica🔥🎇

[@ewansmith165]

yay dr mix again these tutorials are dank. i love the jupiter 8 from what i've seen it looks and sounds so cool but by the time i have enough money to even think about investing in such equipment it will probably be almost impossible to obtain - and they're like £13,000 GBP to buy second-hand now

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

Man, I love the way you present and describe things - wish I had such brilliance and talent as yours. And please don't reply saying I can... cos I can't, I was alive n kicking when all these great synths first came out and just to show how old I am now (and how many VSTis I have) I've already had 5 strokes to try and kill me but I'm hanging in there :-)

Have you done the subtle double stabby sound that sits under the bass, and the howling sound, would be cool.

Thanks for the video buddy. Might be helpful to see the keys from a first person pov, but still great video.

[@sjcvouk]

fantastic...!!!!

[@josephfields5236]

Hey Dr. Mix! It's Joseph. Is the Jupiter 8 used in the Weeknd's Starboy as well?

[@YotamPiano]

Hey man I really love your channel, just wanted to ask hopefully you will answer: Can I get similiar sounds using my Jupiter 6 Europa? also when you double the synth recordings pan all the way left and right what do you mean by "tuning" them differently? do you use the Cubase milisecond delay to make the image fatter? is that what you meant? also I presume you run the Jupe thru all sorts of awesome compressors and Hardware EQ/effects, would love to know what! thanks!! you should do masterclasses

[@mima85]

Yes a Jupiter 6 can definitely do these sounds. How I know it? Because inspired by this work of Doctor Mix I'm doing my own cover of Thriller with that synth, which in the next times will appear on my channel :-) I already did the initial synth stabs, here is how they sound (remove spaces from link): https : / / tinyurl . com / ybfhagfv It's all Jupiter 6. No other keyboards, no real brass section, just Jupiter 6 lines layered (8 of them) with some EQ, delay and stereo panning. Talking about the tuning thing it's very easy: just record one line with the synth and pan it all the way left, then record again the same line with the same sound and pan it all the way right, but before doing the latter just change the synth's MASTER TUNE a little bit. And that's it.

[@tsohgallik]

Oh wow... Dude just went to your channel you have some stuff from way back ahhhaaa XV ... Good stuff like thr Terminator theme

[@mima85]

Thank you :-)

[@douglasganifiri2144]

Can you tell me what software you use for recording.

[@skybuck2000]

Is there any textual description of how to set these sounds so I can try it out in a software synthesizer version of the jupiter 8 ?!?

[@hoebentoet]

Great sound, sounds familiar

[@BossVlados94]

What about that creepy humming thing from old horrors....Martenot or some kind of this. What was that?

[@felipegarciapatino8815]

I hear wisdom. I like this

[@ironinquisitor3656]

Great video. but my only complaint is I want you to explain in more detail how to create the sounds. Im a beginner to creating sounds on analog synths. explain the vco range and everything specifically so i can get as close as possible.

[@crnogor]

It's not so hard as y think ! You can find on net some basic theory and the rest will be y'r experiments (set/play/listen) Y'r ear should be a leader to y'r fingers !

[@acintya3994]

Jupiter 8 is legendary

[@MusicFed]

you forgot the nice spooky sound at 4.45 // any chance to get just the original JP8 patches?
