  • Here I show you how to program and play a funky bass sound on the Moog Minimoog. This is equally useful if you own the VST version! This sound is also available to buy as a note for note sample here!

    Back again, just love you Matt. It was a Jamiroquai song called Blow Your Mind, I first heard in the early 90s in a GAP store, and I hounded the poor girl working there until she finally came back with the name of the band- boom. Been into your work ever since. Thanks buddy.

    I'm always happy for a new alert from this channel. On a different note, if you turn off the autofocus on the camera, you won't see the lens "breath" when it choses a new focus point. Obv, you risk recording an entire session out of focus if the manual focus point if off.

Watching you play and hearing the different sounds through your techniques is so refreshing as the context is there. Thanks again and I will look through your other videos for more on playing keys in a band.
