This literally just had me dancing around my room at 2:35am. Getting visions of places I haven't even seen yet. Even made me think of "what if we celebrated death, with dance...like fighting back and celebrating life, all wearing white...with billboards of the dead being hoisted over a crowd while parading through the streets". Music like this is healthy, all positivity.
@KidCazal not sure if you mean the sweep pad, the stab or the lead that comes in just after it, but all are brassy sounds which are usually made using filtered saw tooth waves. For funky sounds, it is usually layered or multi-osc sounds with slight detuning and phasing or unison effects to create the dense sound. But even simple single osc sounds can be funky when used right. Again, not so much the gear but how its used
@PimpJSC ......WORD UP,VAPOR IS WUTS UP... ONLY VAPING SINCE 2002.....DAM FUNK AND VAPORS IS HUGE IN MY LIFE...I GOTTA POST SOME OF MY DAM FUNK FOOTAGE...SHOUT OUT TO BARON ZEN FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THE GOD DAM-FUNK,HE SIGNED MADD VINYL FOR ME....DAM-FUNK AND PINK VAPORS=ONE FUNKY MOOD
continued- But these days to save space in my studio I am using Reason 5, Native Instruments VSTs and Logic using a CME UF6 controller and an Akai Miniak. And I find that the softsynths can sound just as good as many of my old hardware synths, if not better because of the additional routing and effects available, not to mention the superior sequencing capability available today. Don't think you can't make good music with modern gear, or computers. After all, analog synths were computers.
@KidCazal the sizzle in synth sounds are usually the result of implied motion in the sound created by filters modulated by envelope, and mod-wheel as well as slight detuning, phasing and flanging which can be done in the synth and out by using effects, layering, etc. The trick is to get to know your synths' capabilities. You can google "synth programming" to find tutorials or sites like ezinearticles (dot com) and so on. Good luck!
@KidCazal You are most welcome! What synth(s) are you using? Over the years, since the mid 1980's I used to have a slew of old analogs (Moog Rogue, PolyMoog, Korg Poly 6, Arp Odyssey), digital/analog hybrids synths/samplers (Akai X7000, Akai VX-90, Korg DSS1) and full on digital synths/samplers (Yamaha V50, Kurzweil K2500R, Yamaha EX5, Yamaha CS2x, Roland Fantom, GEM Equinox, Emu Mo'Phatt, XL-1, Proteus, & Orbit, Peavey DPM3se, and many others).
@gENxKIngz the funk is reminiscent of the punk thats daft and theyre videos remind you of the mangas that made you laugh......idk that was my thought pattern at least
this is my shit. I can just see myself sit on a roof, drinkin fortiez swagged out in a pink cardigan and just let people experience the look of zerozebra in the flesh. wow
