How to Make Any Kick Drum on a Minimoog | 10cc “I’m Not in Love”

[@tomtebby7408]

I love how you use a synthesizer with such accuracy to get the subtlest variations - you truly are the master of synthesis.

[@MusicoElectronico]

You're the first truly synth programmer I've ever seen during my 40 years as a synth programmer myself (from the music composing side) that uses the same kind of approach than me!!! I'm really glad, and I do really enjoy your videos!!!

[@jackodonnell3463]

I feel so fortunate to get this info for free from such a legend. Thank you so much for all this knowledge

[@TruthSurge]

4:28 okay, little more top end and oomph can be had. Some of those I've heard moving down my street inside of cars.

[@nohman2012]

„I‘m not in love“ is one of my favorite songs of that era. It is produced so sophisticated, combined with this heart-melting lyrics, I simply love it.

[@Soundpaintmusic]

Fantastic! A great example of how the "Stradivarius of Synths" can become anything ... and, of course, in the hands of a true master.

[@cerebralkaos2385]

Synth Yoda. The force is strong in this one!

[@Yekvan]

Good videos about the Minimoog are so rare… Thank you! Please keep it up!

[@johnhamers4571]

Fantastic clear explanation of making Kicks. I save this video in a playlist. Thanks a lot Anthony 💯🙏🏼✌🏼

[@TruthSurge]

I think you made a heartbeat instead! But that works for a kick drum, too! Not for rock/metal but softer stuff. I bet it can make a decent one for most other stuff like electronic and things that don't have to sound exactly like a real kick drum. Seems like a fun time trying to dial up sounds. I've got Addictive Drums 2 and I can get pretty much ANY kick drum ever made (Linn, 808, 10 different real kick drum samples) but it's nice to roll your own and just go there and get into the details. I suppose it's like making a food from scratch. There is a sense of learning and accomplishment. thx for all the vids!!!

[@auralsonicwaves7170]

Wow Anthony! You had my whole office buzzing with the resonance and power of that kick sound. What a fantastic sound. I don't have a MiniMoog but I'm going to try this on my Odyssey and then on my DotCom modular. Thanks for the insights into making all these neat little sounds.

[@davidsharp3110]

Saw their Minimoog in their video. Classic tune and sounds. I like your how to videos. Thanks Anthony!

[@WrathOfWood]

Bob Ross of synths, love the breakdown of all the layers of osc and noise

[@Jon-BEDM]

Nice patch. That synth has mojo just oozing out of each circuit, wow. Thanks for another excellent video. One thing I liked about the Sub 37 was how easy its modulation hub made this kind of sound design. A resonant ladder filter is such a beautiful tool.

[@Scanlaid]

Inspiring as always :) thank you for sharing your experiments too! Always fun to have these little workshop sessions with you

[@MrPopturner]

I've got the same form of disease, you like to play, to command and enjoy the time, play with the tempo... You are a genuine genius, a real music lover ✌️

[@chillpillology]

great kick tutorial anthony! love your vids

[@YichenWang]

You just can’t replace the MOOG! It sounds so good!

[@Mereomusic]

Thank you so much Anthony! You are such a great teacher and your channel is inspiring me a lot these days

[@hawk194]

I love your insight and detail. At 55 and a lifetime of synths, I still learn from you. Thank you.

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

This is extremely clever! I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone using a MiniMoog for drum sounds before, nor did I know 10cc did it.

[@Magnus_Loov]

Oh but that is quite common. The quite snappy envelope generators, the noise waveform and the fact that the filter can also get into self oscillation just makes it great for percussion sounds. Not only kick but also snare drums, hi-hats etc. And the Behringer Model D with its extra patch points makes it even better for drums! For the Behringer Model D you can patch it so that the any of the envelopes can control the pitch of oscillator 1. That means you don't have to put the filter resonance up to self oscillation. That greatly expands the number of options for drums sounds and put it more into Arp-2600 territory! Much better than the original Moog when it comes to drum sounds!

[@herberdth]

ALWAYS something to learn from your videos. Awe inspiring and I must hurry over to the Model D and Model 15 to try this. Sadly don't have a real Mini. 10 more sounds, 10 more minimoogs and you can build a huge 909. That would be fun to watch.

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

I grew up on soft synths (I'm 32) and when I was finally able to afford a physical minimoog I was shocked at how much I used it. It's so simple but effective. Gonna take notes on this video for sure 👌

[@marknhopgood]

Amazing video. Thanks Anthony. Now I can share this with anyone who asks me what I am doing in my shed. I make sounds for artists Mairk and Andy Touch

[@juno6]

Today Ive learned something... I thought you couldn't do good kicks on a Mini because it stops self oscillating at 100hz or something. Never though of using the filter PLUS an oscillator. That´s a clever trick. Thank you Tony.

[@moogfooger]

Anthony, you picked one of my favourite songs for this demo! Another great reason tohave a MightMoog. Cheers

[@jarikoskenniska299]

Thank you for the nördieness and interesting tricks!!!

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Incredible versatility in the hands of such an expert. Your ear for the subtleties of these sounds is so finely tuned. Fun and fascinating! ❤

[@Bikki-oz3en]

Very informative and quite generous! Thank you Mr. Marinelli for this incredible content.

[@boronoro]

The arp kicks are really cool and this is awesome!! Thank You!!!

[@EscutCavaller007]

Hi! I also agree that you "truly are the master of synthesis."

[@chazinko]

Wonderful video - can't wait to try this. Thanks so much, Anthony!

[@rosalindwebb7729]

Fabulous explanation. Wonderful instrument. Thank you for sharing.❤.

[@Clupea101]

Great stuff as usual, Amazing drum sounds , subtle movements

[@templemark1010]

Wow! So cool. I could watch one of these every day :) Very inspiring. Keep em coming!

[@Friend-]

I read the thumbnail as "upgrade your kickass" and I was like, hell yeah!

[@benireland-f3u]

My new favorite show! 2:42

[@delscoville]

I've gotten quite skilled at synthesizing drum sounds ever since getting a Korg Volca Drum.

[@ParanormalLight.]

Nice demo...!!! Your Mini appears to be heavily modified. Would the same patches apply to a standard Minimoog?

[@fuccasound3897]

Oh i love watching you work. You "went after" the patch, that's the fun of analogue synths for me, that process of listening analysing and refining the sound with respect to the equipment your using. plus some 'outside the box' thinking. Brilliant!

[@NexxuSix]

@Anthony Marinelli Thank you for this tutorial! I wouldn’t be surprised to know that a lot of the drum samples I have probably originate from an analog synth using this method 😮

[@georgegeez8708]

Another great video by Professor Marinelli.

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Great explanation, even if it should be self-explanatory for anyone who has spent a year working with synthesizers. I'm really starting to think your channel is great, and not just because of Plantasia. I'm glad that Alex made me aware of your channel. The real big lesson here is: you should proceed CAREFULLY and thoughtfully and you'll get great sounds.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

For the last few years I've dreamed about making the ultimate kick drum. I can only hear it in my head. I'll have to fire up my Moog plugin and get to work.

[@hueyjmedina0]

Thank you, I've never seen this type of tutorial on this type of equipment. My dad grew up listening to artists who used one of these. He said the jazz kick you dialed in reminded him exactly of John Densmore's kit at the beginning of "Break on Through" as he performs it on the record, but can heard more clearly in his performance in "The Doors: The Doors(Classic Albums)" documentary film. That was entertaining. I wonder what other kinds of drum sounds can you make with a Minimoog? Ingenious peice of equipment.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

The earliest iteration of the synthesized kick with the high filter resonance instantly puts me in mind of - not 10cc but - a band whose members have collaborated with 10cc, the Moody Blues. Their 1981 ballad single, “Talking Out of Turn”, features a similar sound to that one. I always thought Greame Edge patched it on a Simmons SDS model, but this demo is making me wonder if it was synthesized by Patric Moraz on a Moog.

[@wernerhaider2338]

...more kicks than friends 🙂 Greetings from Vienna!

[@dreamer-1973]

Thanks for the interesting explanation, it's amazing how you can analyze and recreate sounds! only a few are gifted like you!

[@keimax]

2:18 that is the percusive synth sound used on MJ's Bad, across the entire song

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

intense level of detail. thank you.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

If Anthony says this is how it's done, you know it's fact!

[@paulgb53]

You are a true synth surgeon 😷

[@lighterwaves5659]

THANK YOU🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Sounds like a heartbeat... Which I'd bet was the original intention.

[@BobingerAudio]

Keep on dropping the Knowledge

[@jasonshults368]

I love this. I've never even worked with an analog synthesizer, but it's so fun to watch you create and manipulate these sounds.

[@ToniJXN]

When is the colin wolfe video coming?

[@anthonymarinellimusic]

Hopefully next week!

[@Andrew-rz7qt]

YES!!!❤​@@anthonymarinellimusic

[@sunahura]

Priceless

[@knikt8279]

Beautiful video as always! I would love to watch new videos about MJ's Thriller synth with Greg Phillinganes!

[@thearno2885]

Thanks , these are great videos.

[@zonainterdunar]

Great! Now i want a minimoog

[@ArtieOddity]

You're great at describing sound

[@michaelpierce3264]

this is fantastic!

[@filtafacta]

Nice! How about round it all out with some filter input and a bit of overload?

[@jimlemons9231]

Excellent!!

[@eancurtis9333]

Awesome!

[@Megatone230]

Sounds so cool! Thanks!

[@mathewbailey6718]

I need Anthony to post videos on the following & how to recreate them: Screen Gems Logo theme (1965),look for Screen Gems 1965,its a red & yellow logo,the jingle was composed by Eric Siday using either a Moog or a Moog & an Ondes Martenot,Eric Siday was Bob Moog's second customer,second Chapi Chapo theme by Francois Roubaix, & last,the Chase theme,7 inch single version, (Midnight Express soundtrack) by Giorgio Moroder

[@ddw132]

Can’t argue with the result ( and don’t want to!). But, this may be one area where my poor man’s MM ( Grandmother) may have an edge? It can essentially do this, but/and you can also use the Env out via attenuator to osc 2 pitch. Anyway, you got it!

[@gumse666]

Interesting video. I do something similar on the MS-20

[@walkerphillips1488]

If the filter is self-oscillating how are we hearing the tone of oscillator 1? Are you somehow bypassing the filter? Thanks for this video it sounds killer and explained very well

[@50lpp]

Thanks

[@matthewdotson2186]

Hey Anthony, I have a question about an old school kick drum technique... I was watching a video of Cerrone talking about how for his song "Supernature" he took an SM58 and tapped on the metal grille with his finger to create the kick drum. Was this common back in the day, basically thumping on a microphone to produce a kick?

[@morph-the-cat]

You're not subscribed, so don't forget it! 🎵🎶

[@histakes12]

Really cool!

[@BeatMax2023]

Very nice! ;)

[@mcgyrus]

woo!

[@dipling.pitzler7650]

I always thought Kevin Godley was on the kick drum in "I am not in love" 😅!

[@KingMJForeverAndEver]

💗💗💗

[@crashedsite]

Could you explain how to create the ppg wave (term) arpeggio sound from tangerine dream: love on a real train, with other synths like an arp 2600?

[@Suunder]

Can you do one of my turns pink floyd? Great video this in my opinion is the greatest production on any song ever.

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

It’s a prophet 5, with oscillator sync, being modulated by an envelope, from the sounds of it, but it would be cool to see Anthony dial it in.

[@helmanfrow]

Great tutorial; thank you. Of course, this doesn't end with the Arp and the Minimoog. The beauty of synthesis is that once you learn the fundamentals you can apply them to basically any synthesizer.

[@discodave6153]

Never know the kick was a Mini. Do you think they sequenced it or just played it along by hand?

[@joemoss1708]

Hey Anthony you should not recreate the synth at 0:35 from Calvin Harris - Slide. It’s too difficult.

[@fixups6536]

I'm wondering how you record these videos. I would assume that you record the synthesizer directly to the recording device, but then, how do you hear it? If you hear the synth through speakers, which I don't see, your mic is going to record it and then the sound from the synth is going to be doubled in the recording, which is always bad. Or you are wearing earphones, and I don't see them... Or you have a gate on your mic to mute it when the synth is playing... How is it done here?

[@anthonymarinellimusic]

Direct to pro tools, listening back at a low level!

[@F.R.B.Synths]

🥁🥁🥁

[@nathanmolnar8064]

Please do J dilla sub bass with that moog

[@artistlovepeace]

Ok. How do I get paid?

[@alastairfraser8177]

Heard the song when it came out never realised the kick came from a synth

[@epicdiamond8625]

👍👍

[@elevatenyc]

Can i on a sub 37 ?! ty!!!!

[@lisajohnson1528]

Is a mini moog actually prenouced mini moge? Ive been saying mini mooog for years! Great vid love from the uk x love old wooden synths

[@positronalpha]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3WxXqxmhrZqmdUsi=tLu-ikFn9yWXJsYM You can choose whatever you prefer :). I call mine a Minimoch!

[@frijitz001]

Yes, moge.

[@logicalblackman8228]

Yeah, with a long O, to rhyme with rogue or vogue. Bob Moog, who founded R.A. Moog, Co and later Moog Music (but, who, ironically, didn’t create or even approve of the Minimoog), had German ancestry and the double-o in German, has a long O sound in English. So, it’s “minimogue,” like Anthony is pronouncing it. With that said, probably more people pronounce it “moog,” than who do it the correct way. Bob himself didn’t care.

[@davidsharp3110]

mini-mogue like rogue

[@entropybentwhistle]

Bob Moog, the founder of the synth company, pronounced his name to rhyme with the word “vogue,” so it is considered the more accurate way to say it. Hard to fault people unfamiliar with the person or the product pronouncing it as they see it, though.

[@FrancisMaxino]

Thanks for that Anthony, I created a comprehensive patch centred around a Rhodes EP that includes backing drums, bass and vocal backdrop effects for 'I'm Not In Love' on my Korg Kross some years ago but this deeper focus on the kick sound has inspired me to return to it and do something with it to give the kick a deeper resonance and increase the heart beat emphasis of its sound...I have a video demo of me singing it from years ago but am much better at singing it now, when I made the video demo had only just learnt it so the vocals are a bit sketchy in comparison to the precision and how much I've honed it now vocally and is in comparison when I listen back a bit rough... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmaQiopqa6uhe8U

[@danclark745]

Pink Floyd heartbeat?

[@JT-qc2nb]

You were supposed to turn that resonance up to 11.

[@jeffblack5024]

10cc made that bass drum sound 50 years ago and here we are still copying it.

[@TheRealAmyas]

Step 1: buy a minimoog

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

I am pretty sure, this works with a Behringer Model D just as good as with the stupidly overpriced original.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

I love ya brotha, but you can't make "any" kick on a minimoog. Rumble techno kicks are a chemistry all their own. 😉
