Program a great Moog Bass Patch!

[@SolStateMusic]

Ads are fine! In my experience running a channel, most people recognize the ads support you the creator. Honestly, I'm just grateful you're sharing this stuff on YT!

[@emiliopalazzolo894]

Agreed!

[@DaraM73]

Nah, ads aren’t fine. One at the start and end is acceptable, max.

[@emiliopalazzolo894]

@@DaraM73 politely disagreed!

[@calinguga]

@@DaraM73 it should obviously depend on the length of the video. i'm okay with middle roll ads for say upwards of 10-15 minute videos (so not less than 5 minutes between them), in the name of supporting the creator, but on any length video (think upwards of 1 hour) more than 2 or 3 middle ads gets annoying. edit: i am very new to the channel, just watched some more videos and i can now agree, there are way too many ads.

[@rheawest]

@@DaraM73 get youtube premium

[@AndreaAustoni]

We get great lessons from a pro for the price of watching a couple of ads and people still complain. The nerve!

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

thank you!

[@DorianTwist]

Also, people can just get KZbin premium and that negates the Ad issue.

[@DorianTwist]

@Noel Soren yeah you guys must be real.

[@andreasoberg2021]

Your channel is super appreciated! And very inspiring. I do not mind ads

[@gabself]

Please keep it free, such a great gift all these videos really appreciate it

[@antonbriggs5680]

Making videos is work. I think every channel should make a video of what it takes to make a free to you video.

[@stevefranklin5714]

Hi Matt, my two cents worth Run the ads. It's a pleasure to listen to your clips It's such a small price to pay to be interrupted by an advertisement to watch something that you really want to see. Besides I just download your videos and throw them on my iPad, result no ads I watch them all the time You are one of the most professional, informative musicians doing this.... Oh sure, change the name because it's your thing not a Jamiroquai topic Take care Steve from New Zealand

[@DaraM73]

....Matt, stick with building an audience, don’t do memberships, have a tip jar for live streams if required. If you can, don’t swamp audience with pop-in ads on pre-recorded. Have a low cost Patreon of £1 per month (more folks will sign up for that rate). Produce less content at higher quality, which will be more than enough workload when you can’t or don’t want to do it. Don’t e-beg, your core viewers are most likely in the same position as you. Always stay happy, don’t burn-out in the edit, form a time/content template for fast turnaround.

[@mytwosynths1747]

do what you like, the people who truly value you will be happy with whatever you decide. thanks as always for sharing

[@1stapproach]

It's probably the only channel I am following where I would be ready to pay a certain amount, as already just watching Matt's content gets me in a good mood instantly (let alone trying the stuff afterwards). On the other hand: we are all used to ads when watching ANYTHING on KZbin - I am not bothered by that. Not knowing anything about that business I have no idea what is helping Matt more, though - a bigger number of subscribers + ads, or a smaller number of Patreons...

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Please don’t keep your talent away from us, we are all happy to watch an add or two. Your subs will naturally grow and it’ll snowball to get ad revenue.

[@h3studio]

I agree with the name change. You’ve helped me (as a hobby in addition to being a singer/musician kinda having to do everything myself no band or engineer). You’ve helped me bridge some 20-30 year gaps .. each video takes what I already know and helps me take it to another level. Without your clear and concise way of training I’d still be stuck. I have a moog tribute 37 .. I mostly got it to mimic Stevie Wonder styled bass. But honestly don’t use it as much as I should in sound design. I tweak every aspect of my sounds and the reward comes learning along the way. As far as you doing a membership.. I’d follow whatever you would choose. I don’t get ads because I use premium. Anyways absolutely love your content and the humility you express despite your legendary career. I reached out to Stu Zender in my 20s as an young artist and he too was so supportive and humble ... you all are my mentors from afar ... ya soul brutha H3

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Thanks!

[@jamsolo5335]

Maybe keep it free and offer some quite pricey one-on-one online lessons? Whatever you do I have been enjoying your playing for far longer than your youtube-channel. You are a great musician AND a great educator. Humble and funky!

[@Totozme]

Matt, you deserve at least a million subscribers

[@jimharris6389]

On the full takeover ads, if you hold down cmd and R (refresh) the page keeps refreshing and eventually the page gives up calling the ad servers but still decides to deliver the video. You might have to remember where you are in the video and you still get banner ads and still waste a few seconds of your life but at least nobody's advertising at you! It works a charm when clips start with an ad, and it's just really satisfying to defeat the algorithms.

[@OdhranWAR]

This is the best video explaining how to do this on the internet, been looking all over but shoulda just went straight to this page! Your the man Matt, wish you’d sneak over to nz with the lads while you’re all in Australia

[@TrevorWierzbowski]

I don't mind ads on your channel, neither i would hesitate parting with some gold for keeping this content being born, cannot thank you enough.

[@OuijTube]

The ads don't bother me. I love this kind of educational stuff; it's really helping me think about my own patching/programming/playing. EDIT: I even love that the minimoog is acting up and not working properly--a nice "hey this is how it really is with vintage gear" moment.

[@harmolivier4544]

Hey Matt, I’ve got no problem with watching ads in exchange for such content!

[@FTMuisikTV]

Matt PLEASE keep it FREE, this information and presentation is invaluable, especially coming from such a pro like you. Thanks and stay safe!

[@teunpolderman1104]

I would personally never mind watching any kind of ads for this great content!

[@SimonHunt999]

Best Moog Bass tutorial ever, thanks so much

[@sibbyeskie]

The Minimoog has this midrange suppression in tandem with distortion that nobody seems to be able to fully recreate. I find my Behringer Model D tends to lose a lot of tonal character when driving the mixer, while the Poly D has lots of character but doesn't get as much drive. The Mini here just immediately gets into that sweetspot. What a sound!

[@mikloskemecsi3875]

I'm happy to contribute to your efforts on Patreon, but please keep it affordable and reasonable for all the down and out musicians out there! Your videos are super useful and informative! Hopefully as the channel grows it will also make revenue through plays as well! Thanks for all the Funk so far, Miki

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Def would be very cheap

[@harrisg5]

I love your videos. thank you for posting them. i don't mind the ads!

[@sesamreinhart]

And you are a good teacher to me! Thank you!

[@ckey9587]

Hi Matt, What I like about your videos is that they feel natural and you're doing it for the love of the music. I understand that monetizing some of them will be very helpful to you, but what I think might happen is that you're going to lose a lot of your audience by making better content for people who will / can pay and less informative content for those who won't / can't. I hope you keep everything on a level playing field. Your musicianship is also teaching young people how to play their first starter keyboards / monosynths better, and then they become the next Matt Johnson or Joe Armon-Jones.

[@couchcamperTM]

Those of us who know Jamiroquai, but not the names of the Band members, probably found this channel just because of its name. I know I did^^ So I would keep it. Paywall, membership... I don't know a single youtuber who has less money than I do. I was on youtube when it was about fun and sharing and self expression and not about income. I miss those times. Now we can never be sure how much honesty is left. From making content just to make content, to making longer videos to squeeze in more ads, it has all gone down the pipe on yt. Hobbies became business models. Daily uploads to stay relevant instead of monthly quality have become the norm. You make quality content, I don't think you could do it if you had to follow such a tight schedule. Advice for all new youtubers: If you can't or don't want to afford a camera and the time (5 minutes on video will usually take 1 hour in editing^^), don't do it. Just don't tell people you can't do it unless there's more money coming your way. Make it a hobby, not your main job. I quit making videos and my life got better lol

[@fjfrancois]

Thanks for the master synth class. 😊

[@wiredbassclarinet]

I think you have some of the best stuff on youtube - I would expect that a patreon would do well (I'm personally a fan of the free content for ads). Don't worry about changing your channel's name! I like the casual approach, but that's just me. In case you read this, you've been really inspiring - thank you for sharing all that you do.

[@GrantGordonComedy]

I feel you Matt! I'm torn bc I have zero complaints about what you are already doing, but I would definitely be willing to pay for longer, more in depth content i.e. breaking down songs, theory, your approach to scales/soloing, you name it! Either way, thanks for everything, this channel has been a pandemic highlight! Keep on groovin

Hi Matt THANKS A LOT for sharing your knowledge, you brought precious content. Advertising is bearable, but i'll understand if you membership. I allow myself to share a tip for NI's Monark users in order to have that legato playing: - do exactly what Matt says, - then click on the B section just above the "Monark" brand on the upper left of the vst's skin (loaded in reaktor). - The back of the vst appears. - then click "never" on enveloppe retrig and "last" on priority in Keyboard Legato section. - And Boom you have that nice legato sound. - Enjoy !!! Thanks again Matt

You're representing a whole era of great music. People need to know how it came to being for future generations to be inspired. I don't mind ads!

[@GerritQuast]

Was so looking forward to that after searching you last week's video for the instructions :) Happens. I tried to recreate that with the Sub37. Lowest octave 16' but the Sub1 oscillator and Feedback knob helped to get it punchy in the low end. Thanks for walking it through! Now I'll get back to last week's video to practice playing it. Keep on!

[@wootener]

Completely fine with adds, you got to generate revenue mate! Please keep the content free, it's very inspiring, love your take on it 🙌🤘

My sister and I grew up on your band. I'm now getting into music and Jamiroquai is still a huge influence. I'm so stoked to find you on KZbin!!

[@NickCapron]

Ads are fine, re-name makes sense too, might consider a member program(depending on the cost/benefits) if you decide on that direction, but it would suck if it meant less "freebies" such as this vid. Either way, thanks for the content, & congrats on 50k!

[@alphanuevo]

Very nice. Thanks. I agree ads are fine by me. I tried to replicate your Moog patch on my Roland SE-02 and got pretty close, or close to something fun anyway. Cheers.

[@hjjhkkjhhjkxdf9184]

Your choice is the best choice. (: As for the name change, I think the Jamiroquai name brings a crowd that wouldn't have necessarily clicked other wise ? Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge ! It's such a privilege to live in this day and age !

[@terminalbliss]

I noticed in the last video you didn't show how to program it, so I was attempting to recreate it (on my Arturia Matrixbrute, by running it just through the 24db moog style ladder filter) and got pretty close, but couldn't figure out what was different tonally... I used sawtooth, and once I switched over to pulse and went through the pulse waves got it. All these years I've mainly used sawtooth on bass sounds and tending to only use pulse when doing PWM style sounds, but now I see I've been missing out. Thank you! One nice thing to do on the Matrixbrute (or in VST emulations of the minimoog) is to apply velocity to filter envelope, so you can expressively control how much that attack punch comes in with your finger.

[@Statters42]

I don't mind enduring the ads for the content you make Matt, which is excellent. Never really liked the membership model, think it will deter many folk. Difficult times fro many at the moment Keep smiling

[@djfree5435]

Thanks so much, just tried it on my modular, using different filters is quite exciting 😎👍

[@SandersStuff4u]

Ah, the charm of learning to set a patch instead of downloading it :). Thank you so much, this came at just the right time for me, incorporating the Behringer Model D in my workflow. I must say, it does the job extremely well, and the OSC1 works reliably on it... so I immediately started experimenting with using OSC3 to give it some wobble. Ooooh yeaaahhhh..

[@ghostfrom1950]

Hooray! I been excited for this. I’ve admired your musicianship in your videos so I couldn’t help but anticipate getting your take on programming the settings on a fitting patch!

[@synthdude7664]

Congrats on the 50k subscriptions! I think you should offer in depth tutorials on sound design and playing ! I’d buy ! This is one of the best mini moog sound design tutorials on the internet ! Just don’t forget to keep the regular content coming , it’s great to watch

[@bigdaddykeysDABELTKING61]

Funky Brother Matt!! THANK YOU so much for giving us such AMAZING sounds and music. I really appreciate all you do to make the world a much better place musically speaking. I don’t own a Minimoog, but I do own a Behringer Poly D. I can’t wait to recreate your FUNKAY bass patch on the Poly D. I also LOVE your original Minimoog video and can’t wait to try and recreate some of those incredible lead patches you play in that video. As far as the name change, you do you bruh! Either way it’s all good. And I for one are cool with the ads. I mean, you are BLESSING us with some serious sonic GOLD!!🎹🎹🎹⚡️⚡️⚡️So how can I complain about the ads?

If you come back to this topic, I'd love to hear your thoughts on using noise in a Model-D-style bass synth sound.

[@gunface1978]

Hi Matt, first thanks a lot for the content you are sharing! I do love all the videos you post, I've learned a lot form them! Second, I don't mind to see and ad from time to time (I can live with it) and due to the HIGH quality of the content you share, it's really a small price to pay from our (viewers) end. Now, from my perspective it will be totally fine if you want to charge some fee to see your content, and I'll be more than happy to pay for it, not to avoid ads on You Tube, I'll do it because I admire you and respect your work. Either way (free or charged) please PLEASE videos like this one coming! Thanks a lot!

[@nigelbutters6761]

Great Video Matt. Just tried this patch on my Behringer Model D and it did a super job of nailing the sound. I've also got a Dave Smith Pro2 and although it produces some sublime sounds it just cannot do the fat Moog bass sounds without a lot of post-equalisation and even then doesn't quite get there with its DCOs. So if I want a good thick bass sound I go straight to the Boog. I just wish my fingers were as agile as yours! As for your videos and streams please keep them free and accessible to all, the content of your videos are so interesting I can suffer the ads.

[@cacobass6]

Amazing chanel to know more about moog bass and bass synths world. I am really really glad to find it 🙏🏾

[@mazula8409]

[@C4rdboardgun]

Abs appreciate the dope stuff you're putting out. Not the most liquid atm, but as an aspiring creator, I support you being able to get some revenue from the gems you keep dropping. And if some stuff goes paid, I'm in; whenever I can spare cash ofc; but I'd expect to pay for what you're putting out, tbh.

[@danthomas9624]

Thanks for this follow-up video, Matt!! Regarding the pay channel, I really appreciate the free videos, but would be great with more in-depth vids or similar. So, I would be one vote for that. One other suggestion is if you provide a link to a virtual "tip jar", so people could contribute amounts that is comfortable for them. Thanks again!!

[@gunjabeans]

Just want to say thanks for sharing Matt.

Ad's are fine Matt, Thanks for the great content

[@Guitarisalways]

Aha!... The missing piece. Too awesome💯‼️... something about the single osc I really like. 😆❤️

[@Namors-Channel]

Hi Matt, since you asked: I will happily pay for educational content (technique, harmony, sound design) and things that give me inspiration ... e.g. you bringing up Bob James‘ Nautilus kept me entertained for hours ... I‘d also pay extra for sheet music of your bass lines and chords. You have outstanding content and such a great style of getting it across!

[@PeresD]

I know it’s been three years ago,but this is brilliant ,really helpful.

[@pbl6888]

This video and the previous one show clearly that to make a synth sound good, the way you play it is at least as important as the way you program it!

[@dextercousinstv4660]

Moog, Yamaha, Roland should be paying you too Matt, you make it look so easy that I'm tempted to splash out on a Moog!

[@AdLed]

Love your videos, thanks, I think you must do like a series of videos breaking down some iconic Jamiroquai songs, by instruments, what was used, how to play, that kind of thing, I'm sure people would love this, cause think about it, if not you - who ?? exactly :)

[@stevendouglas7678]

Hello Matt hope you and your family are keeping well. I must say you new album is sublime. Will you be touring when the time is right. Fantastic podcast great info and sounds. Steven

[@audiovideotweaker]

No please don’t go private! So many youtubers are doing it now and how can anyone afford to keep paying all these private access channels.... Really people is it such a drag to watch /skip an ad for this great content? Viewers, you should be ashamed of yourself if you can’t even look at a quick ad for the benefit of Matt and this amazing content. Thanks for that so much Matt! Ps Matt, you could do livestreams sometimes for AMA/Q&A or take live requests on presenting one of your synths (programming, playing styles etc.) for paid super-chats.... that would be a great feature and a way to further monetize the channel! Also a name change might prevent from new members to join if they don’t know you are the man behind Jamiroquai... I didn’t search for Jamiroquai or you when I found your channel.... the KZbin algorithm suggested your channel and I thought: “Wau is this really the guy behind the amazing Jamiroquai sound? Must watch!” You are Jamiroquai, keep it that way! 😎😀

[@monodux]

This is such a cool video. I really love seeing how you think through sound design on the Moog. I’d be interested in an entire series on that. As for ads, I pay for KZbin because I don’t like them and that’s my problem, not anyone else’s. What does become my problem is people who embed ads within their videos that I have to watch even though I’ve paid for ad free. That sort of thing makes me think twice about subscribing. But who am I to complain? I’ll live an ad free life at my own expense as long as I can until we live in a Minority Report future.

[@josephcook-lyon5203]

Key space sounds great!

[@Robert-kx8mp]

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but in the US we can pay $12/month for YT premium to get that ad-free experience. Considering how much great content is on YT, thanks to artists and educators like yourself, YT premium makes total sense for me. I prefer YT to Netflix any day. Some folks go quite far monetizing their channels, and that’s understandable, but if I am being honest, I often turn off sponsored content. I hope you find a balance that rewards you for your hard work and continues to deliver great content.

[@mattwaters6987]

I should try this same approach with my Poly Six and/or my MS-20 and MOD 7. Guess we'll see. Thanks for sharing this. 🎹😊

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Excellent tutorial Matt. Yes I think a separate channel would a great idea .

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Matt, it would be great if you might consider making a full length (say, 90 minutes) Minimoog exclusive tutorial, please? I'd happily pay for the product. 😁

[@ElkElektronik]

Such a nice patch! I'm keen to go and give this a try. Interesting comment about the mix levels pre filter. Don't think I've really pushed them up high at all, so keen to have a crack and see how it behaves. I guess I never really thought how it would make a difference. Thanks Matt!

[@TeddyLeppard]

Funkiest keyboards on KZbin. Great stuff.
