How to program the synth bass from Tyler, the Creator's "Igor's Theme"

[@nickjohnson398]

As a zoomer it’s surreal to watch tutorials from guys who worked on Thriller… it’s such a privilege so I just want to say thanks for all you do!

[@prototype8137]

Lol.. boomer.. zoomer. Those names are silly, used as a form of stereotype and sound so childish...

[@nichttuntun3364]

I don't even know, what a zoomer is supposed to be. 😅

[@brandonv102]

These videos are dope !

[@jsfw2299]

​@@nichttuntun3364 gen z its like how baby boomers are just called boomers

[@nichttuntun3364]

@@jsfw2299 😁 thank you.

[@robinwindsrygg9568]

«Spend your time making iconic songs, and then the sounds will follow». That’s a great saying!

[@charliewilder1]

main synths I think Tyler used on Igor were the Juno 6 and a Model D Minimoog reissue, although I think he uses omnisphere the most. He has a JX-8P but I don't think he's messed around with programming it and has mainly used the string presets like on Cherry Bomb and Flowerboy. My theory on the Igor's theme bass is spit 50/50 on it being either a minimoog or some Omnisphere thing.

i used serum and i actually got close from the phasing using vectorscope and the stereos from bass to highs and the wave sound, i could show rn but im basically recreating the whole trying to get ss close i could get. I also noticed at the last part of the song the sound changes to elevate the climax

[@jayadkisson8934]

Thank you so much for putting these tutorials up on KZbin! Thriller was my favorite album in elementary school, so to have the person that actually created the sounds explain how to recreate them is mind-blowing! I play keys in a Top 40 cover band, so I deeply appreciate the attention to detail you provide with your methodology. I can’t get enough of these! Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@stiptreezy8481]

Yes dude! The ability to "make the sounds that are in my head" is what lead me down the sound design/synth journey to begin with. Its so much more efficient both with the amount of time it takes to create something but also for workflow. Nothing kills creative juices more than having to "find" the right sound. After about 4-5 years now of mostly self teaching I am finally to the point where if I have a sound in mind 9/10 times I can produce that sound quick enough to not lose my idea. If anybody is reading this I promise you it is worth the effort!

[@PGAF]

You’re so slept on it’s crazy. Loving these videos

[@aradder]

I'm so glad you have been doing these, both classics and modern hits. Grateful for a sound design master putting out YT videos regularly! Cheers.

[@robertsyrett1992]

What's funny is this is basically the init patch for the Elektron Syntakt's dual VCO machine. I turned on the syntakt to learn along with the tutorial and found I had to do nothing but double up for stereo.

[@csselement]

Anthony is a national treasure

[@mikeprice25]

Love the way you talk through the whole thing. Perhaps you could get Tyler on for an episode, he's got a nice synth collection and can be seen playing them in some studio clips. Could probably go over some of the other tunes off his albums.

[@JulianGarcia-Hernandez]

Love you anthony, I am trying to become a better producer myself and I cannot believe the quality and care you put into these videos. At 2:15, you literally mention your reasoning for these videos and it brings me great joy that people like you still care about the MUSIC more so than just content. You think about creators like us. Thank you man really!!

[@malikdavis6091]

You are now my favorite KZbin channel when it comes to synthesizers I just purchased the hydrasynth and man I tell you this thing is deep

[@Lonersquare]

This channel is Pure Gold #respect 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@xoxotomemitsu]

I just found your videos. I especially love your breakdown and enthusiasm. That you will use different synths to show you don't need the original gear to get close is really great. Wonderful advice re: Song vs. Sound as well. Thanks so much!

[@gregd335shot9]

Anthony, keep on going! I’m excited to learn more from you!!

[@christopherhammell9904]

I just found these and these are EXACTLY what I’m looking for. Please make more!

[@kaitlyn__L]

I’m a sucker for those biiig detuned saw basses, ngl. I first learned to play music on a sax (which IIRC is just-intonated for its natural key?) along with my teachers’ old European 435Hz-A pianos. Everything was pretty detuned in those lessons no matter what! So that kind of synth bass with the foundations kicked out from under it, which you mention avoiding, is a kind of a nostalgic sound for me as a result, heh. Plus it sounds phat!

[@KevinTheCardigan]

You're a blessing and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@image30p]

Hi Anthony! Thank you for your insight into these sounds. I'm a beginning keyboard player. I really appreciate your help to understand the construction of moods

[@RichBandzMf]

2:20 What a great piece of advice. Love the content, looking forward to the educational videos.

[@pablo.l]

I love your approach.. Having in mind the importance of the vibe of a song and the personality of the performance and not focusing exclusively on a pharmaceutical grade recipe (very common these days).

[@Sammy-B]

He’s doing it again. Sharing valuable knowledge. DUDE!

[@TimHareMusic]

This is the best channel on KZbin

[@tsg_frank]

Absolutely awesome video, really wish this got more attention from people. Thank you for making these videos, hope to see more like this.

[@honigtamara]

Thanks so much, Anthony Marinelli! There’s a gift that keeps on giving and that it sharing knowledge to those listening. Everybody has, nobody takes.

[@DREAMINWHITEONWHITE]

These are awesome Anthony - love your philosophy.... ICONIC SONG > ICONIC SOUND - the school of quincy ! Here is a wishlist of some iconic sounds IN iconic songs that I think would make great videos Kanye West : "On Sight" (this one would b extra cool, lots of extended technique here!), "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1", "Feeback" - Playboi Carti "Location" - Daft Punk "Night Vision", "Voyager" - Radiohead "Kid A" (the second song on Kid A, "Like Spinning Plates"

[@darryldouglas6004]

I recently acquired a Moog Subsequent 25. Yeah it does this! 😃 Hope you’re channel takes of and you get lots of subscribers because you sir are a wellspring of information. 😃

[@markanthony5897]

Anthony, you're a legend. ❤ PS. Breaking down the creation of tone, form analysis, and wisdom.

[@NicolasMelis]

thank you so much for your amazing videos!🙏

[@ahadadu]

I found ur channel and god am I thankful!

[@vicentepardogonzalez1277]

thank you for sharing your knowledge 😭, Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@ezinesmusic]

such a cool channel keep it up! your videos are amazing and unique

[@carter5ive]

Thanks for your sharing ❤❤❤

[@fotomaton7852]

Great series, nice to hear these vintage gems keep up with modern times! That unison bass rips hard, will have to try dialling in that patch on my Rev4. By the way, what rev P5 is this one? And was the P5 used much on Thriller? Seems like its always the JP-8, CS-80, ARP & Mini that get all the credit.

[@8oh8beats21]

Awesome breakdown .

[@CyberGene]

Isn’t that basically what they call a supersaw?

[@KingMJForeverAndEver]

🤩🤩🤩

[@wop5873]

Thank you for this!

[@eivind105]

Love your videos. Love your shirt

[@willemdajones]

Excellent

[@yumeh0tf1re54]

Hey Anthony! You should check out ‘Gimme More’ by Britney Spears! A bunch of spooky and cool crazy synths in that song that are really interesting!

[@Richard_P_James]

Hi Anthony - here’s a tough one for you: the synth sound in the track Metal by Gary Numan from the album The Pleasure Principle.

[@annother3350]

I think a slapback (short, tight) echo is doing most of the work in that sound

[@-SC-]

Great Content❤

[@nichttuntun3364]

Nice bite. Prophet has some teeth. 🎉 I appreciate those videos a lot. Thank you for sharing your sessions with us. ❤

[@bumphaus]

Wow yet another banger video, thank you sir! You should cover some of Mike dean's work he tends to use a lot of synths in his music and I feel like someone like you would appreciate his work!

[@anthonymarinellimusic]

Mike’s a friend! Love his work

[@blkrbbt]

I'm all for anything you do on here. You re on the right track. Two things, PLEASE stay away from the Gear Review trap for content. It can tarnish integrity by risking selling out. And have you ever thought of live streaming you producing your own music using analog gear? The space is flooded with DAW based productions. Watching you is great to learn synthesis because of your wizardry. Like an TR808 come to life.

[@ajotech]

Love how you dial that tone in so perfectly wow! Do you have any recommendations on current synths that you would recommend Anthony? I was looking to invest in my first synth between a Juno X or a Yamaha MODX 6 (which doesn’t allow you to tune oscillators manually)

[@RobertWynand]

please do mike dean, the whole album 😁

[@iam607]

This is a good one!! I've been trying to figure out how to make a HUGE creepy Reese sound with my Prophet 5 Rev 4. It's a bread and butter sound

[@yogawithdom]

This just became my favorite channel. Such brilliant insights! Thank you🙏

[@hackercdf]

Hi Anthony, totally off topic but just found out you did the synthesisers on the sound track for a 1986 movie called streets of gold ? Would you happen to still have a copy of this track ?? I have been searching for years for a copy and can’t source one from anywhere! Thank you for taking the time to read this

[@kenkai3493]

Could you maybe do some programming breakdowns from teddy Riley’s basses especially from right and wrong way?

[@_demitri]

Well damn I never expected this one. Gotta love this channel.

[@Domingo95x]

please give us tips on using the Yamaha DX-21 FM Synthesizer!

[@liorsilverstein9802]

can you make PVD tell me why the riddle remix arpeggios?

[@WatchingLakersBasketball]

I love these type of videos even tho I have no idea what the verbiage means lol I just love music. I always wanted to create sounds because I hum all the time and got beats and thoughts in my head I can't escape. If only I can download how to make music to my brain like the Matrix lol

[@hypebeastdad]

Dope

[@anoopsahal1202]

Hi Anthony , EXCELLENT documentary , yet again! I had very little money as a Med Student and so I had to improvise a lot. With my pseudo duo-phonic Teisco 110F I would have slightly de tuned the oscillators and borrowed my colleagues octave divider. Would this work? The Pro 5 oscillators are more raw than the Jupe , maybe more harmonics in the Pro saw waveform ? I used pedals a lot to enhance sounds such as a small stone ,Front line delay , front line chorus. To alter the sounds I would send and feed back the signal into the pedal which would ,for example ,change the small stone from a phaser to a flanger and in the front line chorus fatten the chorus effect, what do you think?

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

The guy has a jupiter 8 and he knows how to use it.

[@JulianGarcia-Hernandez]

what vst do you recommend i use if i want to remake this?

[@burns46824]

Anthony - do you have any JP-8 sound banks you'd be willing to send (as a sysex WAV file)? Would love to check out your custom sounds on my JP-8! Happy to send you some cash for it.

[@KoljaBeckmann_music]

Sinmple but awesome!!!!

Can you listen to JUSTICE specifically Audio Video Disco....and if your inspired show us something?

[@spadessszzz]

Wait, did you do this by ear?

[@els1f]

There's always the possibility that he sampled one note and played it chromatically?🤷‍♂️ The possibilities are endless now and it kinda makes forensics harder lol😋
