How to make the G-Funk West Coast whistle sound with Moog Grandmother

This is a patch making tutorial for how to make the whistle lead synth sounds from G-Funk West Coast hip-hop from tracks like "Big Poppa", "Gin and Juice" and "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang". The tutorial is made with the Moog Grandmother synth, but in theory any synth can do this as long as it has some portamento/glide feature.

The G Whistle synthesizer technique is iconic.

[@TheMelMan]

I grew up on East Coast Hip-Hop but when I discovered 2 Pac and Dr. Dre I never looked back. 90s West Coast was the ultimate vibe.

[@athulkrishnan2600]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@Dimebag_Darrell]

Tupac Shakur *is* East Coast. He's the one who brought the whole East Coast gangsta-lean to the west. Sadly, he was butt-raped in prison, which is why he drifted to crack to numb the pain shortly before losing his life after a Mike Tyson in Las Vegas.

[@jmech2298]

Ong man. I grew up here in LA and nothin beats this type of music playing while driving down imperial😎

[@LondraCalibro9]

ooooh can't agree on this.

[@NoNo-ng9sl]

2Pac never was a true G Funk or Westcoast artist. And it baffles me when folks post these kinds of comments. They listen to All Eyez and assume that was his entire discography. He worked with plenty of Boom Bap Eastcoast producers. 2Pacalypse Now was mostly a Eastcoast homage. Me Against The World had two big NY producers. Makaveli had him working almost exclusively with Johnny J towards the end. Even the title track, All Eyez on Me was his answer to Nas who had the identical beat for Street Dreams. 2PAC was an all around rapper, who hopped on any beat. But by no means was a true G Funk artist like say CJ Mac, South Central Cartel, or even Nate Dogg.

[@pequod4557]

This Moog is legendary

[@onceuponasynth]

legen ... wait for it.. dairy (got milk on my mind)

[@fakshen1973]

Got my mind on my milk and my milk is on my mind. Yeah... pass the SEE-RYE-UL!

[@aseomg]

My mom didn’t appreciate me blasting hip hop from my bedroom back in the day, so I doubt she’ll appreciate me sharing your video, lol

[@pervertricojoe8970]

I like that you also use Biggie's Big Papa's as it shows that he had a bit of West Coast flare in them too

[@marcellarenusup3796]

Big poppa*

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

Man, this thing is way simpler than I thought. I was really overthinking things. I was trying to make a high pitched whistle noise to layer over another synth for a Streets of Rage inspired track, and this came to mind, but I was trying to make it with heavy filtering and EQing and all I needed was a high pitched triangle and saw (with a bit of chorus) to get the sound I wanted.

[@diongibbs312]

Yeah it is just feeding in samples or playing a piano and filter it thru a good synth like Moog or Hex.

[@londonsounds6212]

I made a street's of rage 2 hip hop track!!! Which song did you use? I used "in the bar"

[@luvaboy772]

I can hear 'The Chronic' album all thru out this video.

[@spiceeboi7246]

There was only one song from The Chronic

[@bettymiller3999]

I don't know about anybody else, but that iconic g funk whistle sound makes me wanna automatically start rapping. Like, just randomly coming up with my own lyrics. ❤😊

[@NiamorH]

I would love to hear the Ohio Players - Funky Worm melodies next!

[@druciferdoesdjent5671]

[@coacheddiemartin7005]

Dude said "that era". Damn, I'm old now

[@kelvinfernandez4058]

Lol he only said that because it was the beginning of hip hop. Like the early KZbin era which was only 10 years ago.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Brilliant video. Funny and really useful. 👍

[@BassRocket]

[@tylerromero]

The very first note you hit I was like oh shit laffy Taffy

[@Mista808]

If you're wearing headphones you're going to want to turn your volume down by at least 50% or prepare for bloody ear drums!

[@steelkeez7700]
