ARP Odyssey Bass Tutorial | MOOT POINTS Ep. 2

[@RedSox626]

Moot! You’re the man! Your ghetto talk box video got me tinkering 10 years ago and I’m still playing keys today! Keep doing your thing!

[@mootbooxle]

MoogLos thank you for telling me that! I'm honored. Glad you're still doing it! Bless you!

[@Longuncattr]

This gave me some good patching ideas for playing the Behringer Neutron I recently got. Awesome! It's nice to see you're still on here making videos. Your music is a joy to listen to! :)

[@lukaswinzer3108]

This is my first ever synth and you’re video is very helpful to me! It gives a closer insight on actual practical use of the machine rather than just explanation! Thanks!

[@mootbooxle]

so happy to help!

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Thanks very much for sharing your programming techniques. The arp is one sweet sounding synth.

[@mootbooxle]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed, mate. I agree...the ARP sound is a great sound! So different from Moog which makes them complement one another well.

[@lesterfalcon1350]

Watching this because the MPC range has a a Virtual Model of an Odyssey, and due to screen real estate sections are split across the screen, which limits the intuitiveness a bit. Great explanation of how to approach, your philosophy. tips like the sample and hold. I also liked the references to key musicians. and instruments emulated, and I believe that was a Jamerson line played early one. Killer playing too, really nailed you left hand technique, and to think live you'll be playing like this as your right comps on the Nord. Exceptional video all round, thank you. (and I paused this about half way to type, so still more to come)

[@ThinkerThunker]

Thanks man, you have inspired me. Your style of bass synth is just the sound I was looking for for a little music project I'm working on. Now I'm on a quest to find the perfect synth for it. The Odyssey is great, but it's a little more than what I wanted to spend just now. Anyway ... thank you. Keep the videos coming.

[@d3nnisparisis439]

Great. Modif de programmation en direct 👍🎹

[@adrianmutimer3820]

For funk bass I think Arp beats moog. I also think the Odd beats the 2600 mainly because of the simplicity. You didn't mention the portamento, but that can also make things groovy. Thanks for sharing your tips. I found them very helpful.

[@AdamBorseti]

Great stuff, Moot! Output-Lag S&H basses are one of my favorite tricks with the Odyssey! I love mine!

[@mootbooxle]

Adam Borseti what exactly do you use the output lag for, just to smooth the s/h voltages? are you using it in LFO trig or Key trig?

[@AdamBorseti]

mootbooxle I usually dial in a bass sound similar to "Ready or not" by Herbie, but I add a smidgen of S&H with the lag up about half way. Key trigger is important, but I'll send you my patch sheet for my favorite bass sound.

[@OscarLuisGarridoRojas]

Hola me ha gustado tu forma de mostrar este teclado, tengo un korg odyssey también y coincido contigo en muchos de los ajustes , es fantástico, desde hoy tienes un nuevo subscriptor 12/12/24. Un abrazo desde Chile

[@waskerbasket9601]

Great chops, Matt.

[@informationsuperkhan]

lmao this man searched the depths of his mind and pulled out the word "livery". Love it.

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Thanks for the tips Moot. Always appreciate your videos. I got the Moog Sub37 with the ARP Odyssey so just like you I'm rocking the Moog and an ARP so every lesson helps. Keep them coming

[@mootbooxle]

I'm really glad you find it useful, Luke! I appreciate the feedback!

[@ginociancio1]

Thanks for sharing your ability, it's very useful I got a behringer odyssey, I just bought and you explaine very very well and you playing is very good thanks 👍🎼

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you very much for your comment :)

[@whosmymuse4941]

Classic synth! Moot Points rocks MB!!!

[@hujuu]

Thanks. That was really useful. I'd like to see some tutorials on your impovisation technique.

[@mootbooxle]

I'm glad you found it useful Mark! I'm going to have to think on the improv thing a bit. There's a lot of concepts that I can think of to demonstrate, but I don't know how to make it concise enough to go into a video. I'll think of it! I appreciate the suggestion!

[@fusionistaaaa]

@@mootbooxle Did it happen :)

[@tonyodoherty6241]

Absolutely excellent! Well planned easy to follow explanations with appropriate musical examples....especially Peg!

[@troublesomecorsair]

Baller bass machine. Might have to grab a second one for those high pitched duophonic minor thirds that sound so nice with pitch bend and spring reverb.

[@martinreuter1060]

Very very very very nice playing! And tons of knowledge about synths - respect!! Greets from Germany

[@mcshafty1]

Hi Moot, I'm picking up a Behringer Odyssey this afternoon. Looking forward to working through the tute. Thanks😊

[@JoshHumble]

Great tutorial and a great synth!

[@Noise-Conductor]

Nice breakdown

[@samjones714]

I'm actually a Moog guy but it your video made it clear to me how much more versatile the Odyssey is compared to a Minimoog

[@mootbooxle]

Sam Jones I feel the same way haha! I love the Moog, it’s still maybe my fav overall synth, but the Odyssey is way more versatile. Desert island synth!

[@martinlubitz3171]

Got my Bodyssey, very helpfull, thanks 👍

[@StrangeQuarkStar]

Fantastic tutorial, thanks for that! Love the style. Looking forward to what’s next ;)

[@francoisrousseau7893]

That's a great explanation - a lesson in sub synthesis ! thanks !

[@mootbooxle]

thank you!

[@marinerecords58corshagwen]

Hi Moot, regarding the famous Herbie's Chameleon bass sound, I found something that I believe to be interesting in his biography "Possibilities". Herbie mentions the following : "We recorded the main session of «Chameleon» at Wally Heider Studios, and I used one of Pat Gleeson’s synthesizers to play that funky bass line. (...) After we recorded the piece, I started to think that the bass line I’d laid down wasn’t punchy enough, so I decided to rerecord it, programming the Minimoog so the notes were shorter. The next day I took the tape to David Rubinson, but when he played that new bass line as an overdub, he forgot to turn off the original track. (...) they actually sounded kind of cool together. "......So, except during live performance, where we can see the Odyssey, now I am not sure to know what is the other synth used on the original record. Seems there is 1 Minimoog + unknown one.... :)

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

The arp osyssey is fantastique.

[@mootbooxle]

It is such a great machine!

[@Minimoog7]

Very clear, pal! I'm the proud owner of Minimoog model D serial #12955 (vintage from 1981, bought brand new) AND a Behringer Model D (the one I take to gigs). Do you have a similar video, but for Minimoog? Thank you!

[@ginociancio1]

I can't get board listing to your playing and how to use the synth very good 👍🎼

[@mootbooxle]

Cheers Gino 😎

[@MadelnMachines]

Such a warm fuzzy sound

[@fjfrancois]

Is nice that we can still get this beauty a the stores. Personally I been thinking to get just the module in white. Thank you so much for this tutorial Dude 😎

[@mootbooxle]

The white one is just so classic and cool :) Thank you for watching! Have a good day!

[@fjfrancois]

mootbooxle thank you buddy for your replay, wow I was jealous to see you playing the Behringer VC-430 I’m exited for get one. Take care

[@djalexia]

@mootbooxle, hi! I was wondering what is your take and honest opinion of both korg and behringer since you’ve reviewed both of re-issues of the Arp Odessey ? Thanks!

[@CaalamusTube]

Your new Editing style is nice man :]

[@mootbooxle]

Caalamus thanks my friend! What, in your view, is different about it?

[@CaalamusTube]

Oh, not so much the bulk portion of the content... just the Moot Point lead in. Maybe I signed up late... but when I started watching, before your hiatus... your stuff was just straightforward, no graphics. "Moot Points" are a new thing, no? If I'm late to the party... then I will amend my comment to be "You Editing style is nice man :]" :P Also, you're on the same Coast... go to sleep! Hahaha!

[@cruepprich]

Amazing what you pulled out of this synth. I'll try emulating some of that on the software version of my MPC. And there it is 12:38! 🔥

[@aurelionasvw]

Esse equipamento e fantastico som lindo

[@tylkoheptrus]

great tutorial and playing skills

[@davidcooke779]

Really helpful thanks.

[@nickynocknoo]

Super helpful, thanks!

[@GTV-Japan]

Oooh those sounds!!! Melt

[@philippebackprotips]

Really interesting!

[@eduardovalenzuela2817]

Thank you sir!

[@vxidastronaut]

I wonder what jump in searches reverb gets after this channel has a video

[@mootbooxle]

hahaha, I don't think I wield much power there!

[@AdamBorseti]

"This is a moot point!" Okay, fine. *goes back to watching porn*

[@mootbooxle]

Adam Borseti lol!

[@funkmachine6420]

Thanks for the super useful tips 👍

[@mootbooxle]

Funk Machine I’m so glad you got some good info from it! Thank you!

[@haakman123]

Great video! What’s your band called?

[@UK_Bollington]

thnx Moot, much appreciated!

[@danield_sounds]

Awesome ideas, thank you !

[@richardthayer5907]

AMAZING!

[@bytex666]

I've never been close to an actual Odyssey, so it's nice to hear the old lady sing. Is this the KARP one or the actual 70s version? It looks brand new so I'm guessing KARP?

[@mootbooxle]

bytex666 it's a Korg yeah...I got one of the first white ones as soon as they went on sale, and have used it exclusively on gigs since...hundreds of gigs! And it still stays in tune, sounds great, looks great! It even fell off my stand once! That reliability, combined with the choice of filters and MIDI, makes the Korg ARP Odyssey the one I prefer! I wouldn't trade it for an original MkI! I tested right side by side with my friend's MkI Odyssey and really, I still prefer the new one!

[@bytex666]

Could you perhaps show us how to set up that famous Midge Ure lead sound he used so much with Ultravox? I'd like to just see it. I know he was a huge Odyssey user.

[@mootbooxle]

bytex666 I could try! I need to figure it out for myself first, lol!

[@AdamBorseti]

@@mootbooxle You need that Chorus/Flange!

[@AdamBorseti]

@@bytex666 Billy Currie was the ARP guy, Midge was the guitar/vocals and string machines.

[@charliedronkers]

so clear, thank you very much

[@ApakukiNayacakalou]

Sick!! Love it!

[@ingoodmusic]

Why not the Model D is an ideal bass machine?

[@mootbooxle]

ingoodmusic well, probably 80% of the bass on my records comes from a Minimoog. So yes, it is an ideal bass machine...in the studio! For live use, the smaller Odyssey, with its modulation options, is ideal. Just my opinion!

[@ingoodmusic]

got it

[@ClavAnother]

Cool Moot. But now I want an oddy

[@CaptiRando]

I miss you man, when the time comes: We should make epic shit....

[@jkwatercraftp5274]

please make a tutorial I SUCK WITH MY ARP

[@mootbooxle]

JK WaterCraftP what kind of stuff would you like to learn? just all the basics? or something specific? I'm all about doing what helps the people!

[@jkwatercraftp5274]

Actually the biggest issue I have, was the patch bay in the back. I saw your patch mod, is it possible I can buy that mod if you make another one, that would really help because I have my ARP backed up against a wall and its really a pain in the ass to even get back there. I have the same ARP model as you, white edition.

[@jkwatercraftp5274]

I will try to also copy your presets, i was literally having wind noises coming out at one point.

[@jkwatercraftp5274]

Yes basic tutorial would be great. like what every switch does ect

[@sebastianotrovesi2650]

[@aurelionasvw]

Show

[@logicalblackman8228]

I went to your band channel and was disappointed. Really went just to hear some synth bass in a power trio, and discovered that you now have a dedicated bass guitar player and a female singer as well.

[@mootbooxle]

@@logicalblackman8228 heh, I’m no longer in that band. If you wanna see things in that vein, look up THE MOOTS.

[@logicalblackman8228]

@@mootbooxle Thanks, I will! Didn’t realize the video was six years ago. But it explains why you’re not in a lot of the videos :)

[@orgnl]

Puns are always intended

[@mootbooxle]

Oscar Garcia haha, yeah you're right! We always seem to try to obfuscate that fact tho. lol

[@lesterdfunct]

Great video, thanks!
