Malcom is an unsung synth hero. Stevie got all the credit but Cecil's machine really took his talent to new heights. He deserves more recognition for his efforts.
ABSOLUTELY!😁👍
Huh
Rip Malcolm Cecil. Legend and absolute genius. He will be missed.
Well done Malcolm. Tonto is still on the ride. We have both come a long way since our daze at Media.
now the weeknd is using it!
I hope i am also that stoked about synthesizers at his age
Tonto means dumb in Spanish
@@EternalResonance Im crying...😂
Tonto means "The Original New Timbral Orchestra"
@@EternalResonance and in Italian too.
I think it was used on things like Maybe Your Baby, but Superstition?? Cmon, that's literally the most famous clavinet riff ever.
The sound of Stevie Wonder is getting fed through Tonto for superstition. Believe it or not.
Right?? Total clickbait. That tune best I know has no synth on it save for the bass which was a Moog.
@@jaybreen1010 It's clav and synth playing the famous riff together, surely you have heard there are two riff's playing together to make up that funky 'clav riff"
@@SjoerdDekker There are two clav tracks, not one clav and one Moog on the main riff.
The bass on that track is certainly Moog/TONTO.
Cecil inside Tonto - This is where the fun is in electronic music. Thank you for sharing TONTO's work!..
Actually, the Superstition riff was created by Stevie Wonder on an instrument called a Clavinet, not the TONTO Synthesizer, Stevie Wonder did use the TONTO Synthesizer on his 70's albums though.
Living for the City most prominently
Awesome synthesizer that I remember on Stevie Wonder and Lenny White's albums in the 70's.Great to see this machine again online.
wow that's cool. especially about the randomness of the sound.
Rip to mister Cecil, an absolute legend!
No. Superstition was done on a Clavinet C x's 4 Tracks
And a moog for bass and some real horns and drums, but yeah, pretty sure TONTO had nothing to do with it.
@fooloof true, this implies that TONTO was responsible for the famous Clav riff, which was a real clavinet, the bass was one of the first synth basses (if not the 1st) in a pop song, and was possibly done on the incredible TONTO
I pretty sure they know better than you what they did in the studio.
Wilson Miller Jr nah bro the producer of superstition said they put a clan through tonto
@@inkedsights4929 😂😂😂😂 👏👏👏 so many experts on youtube.
This needs way more views. Bravo!
Rip Malcolm Cecil
Wait a minute... are they saying that's TONTO and not a clavinet on the main riff of Superstitious?? If so, I don't see the point, as it sounds exactly like a clavinet. And besides the main riff I don't hear any other synths or keyboards (except maybe the bass lines).
That’s 100% a clavinet. I don’t know what they’re talking about here, and neither do they.
Billy Preston also used TONTO.
Man, his grandkids will some funky motherfuckers having access to the mother of all analog synths.
I think Tonto is now in Canada? Not sure. I am pretty sure it was residing last in the states in Saugerties New York, was sold and shipped to Canada?
The thing that amazes me is that they got all those incompatible makes of synthesizers to work together (I see at least 6 brands) long before the MIDI interface was invented.
"Incompatible makes"? Lots of old synths run on 5v and click tracks. I know some of this equipment is weird but bumping a 5v to a 12v signal is not rocket science.
brand doesnt really have much to do with how synthesizers communicate. before midi, there was cv/gate. you will see many electronic musicians from back in the day with walls of synthesizers, drum machines and gear from a plethora of manufacturers, all synced up and playing together through the manipulation of control voltage. this is the basis of how modular synths work, which are often made up of modules from many different manufacturers.
I had both of Tonto's albums. I sold them when I needed a bit of spare money. Wish I hadn't to be honest!
Rest in peace Malcolm
what a great creation
Is there a plug in for this? I wanna put it on my DAW.
so tribe called red is using it because it's perfect for hip hop. plus it's called tonto. i wonder if they will pose in front of it for Thomas King's photo series with the masks or if that would be too weird or predictable. hi yo silver.
Umm, there's no synthesizer AT ALL on Superstition. It's all Hohner Clavinet.
Superstition has drums, mini moog bass, clavinet and horns. I don't hear any TONTO...
I was thinking the same thing. Drums, clavinet, Minimoog bass, drums and horns. Apart from the Moog bass which is not a modular synth, and is hand played with a keyboard.
Moog 55
I was thinking the same, and I've always thought that the famous riff was played on clavinet
I'm thinking that the possibly the horns are done off of TONTO. I know for a fact that the "horns" in Sir Duke are in fact TONTO, and they have a similar sound on Superstition. I do wish they were a little more in depth as to HOW Stevie used TONTO on Superstition instead of just saying that he did.
@@UMAMIMAMU If you get hold of the multitrack masters of Superstition (available on the internet) you can isolate the horn tracks and hear the players chatting and noodling before they play, so definitely live horns.
Joe Zawinul used TONTO on a few Weather Report lp s.
That workstation looked and sounded amazing! Where was this synth designed and built?
I’m still waiting for the portable version 😮😊😂
"Beyond your control" Why would I want that? It first has to be a musical instrument to obey MY commands, not an experiment in unpredictable happy/unhappy accidents. Secondly; Its not explained how an analog synth determined Stevie Wonders Clavinet parts, which is long known to be 6 different overlying tracks of clav parts, each slightly different from the other. Im not trying to be negative, but I fail to see the point of this very brief video.
Epic !!!!!! 👍👍😎😎
Rest in peace Malcolm Cecil.
Wonderful, greetings and hugs °,...,°
It’s a Natural Thing, don’t you know. RIP.
J ai le même piano à la maison
I thought Superstition was done on a Hohner Clavinet C?
This is so insaneeeee
What a magnificent instrument! Does anyone know where it's kept?
Calgary I do believe .
Its bigger on the inside.
Let me in ther!
And Stevie could see all the controls and knobs 🤨😎
Why not use a clavinet?
That's scary 😨
nice
No plug ins for me
In the early 70s we viewed these guys as scam artists, releasing full priced albums with the absolute minimum run time they could get away with.
Whats the purpose to use this machine if it changes the timbre and key so dramatically. It's like you play one shot - nice I am in a key with a bit of variantion, next time you play - you need to change all song's key? If you cant control creative process, how can you come up with anything?
There is a sort of... I guess organicness about it.
Nope.....sorry. That’s a Hohnor clavinet you hear on Superstition.
Wonder what the man is up to right now
Stevie Wonder can see
Am I the only not getting sound on the vid?
Next we'll hear it was used to play the riff on Iron Man
Actually TONTO means dumb un spanish but this Is the total opposite
LOL
Tonto means dumb in italian... LOL
Tonto means fool in Spanish.
Did he use TONTO for "You haven't done nothin' Doo Doo Wop?"
"With a digital it is the same every time, booring". he is such a grandpa :D
Skeletons ✊
First #1
Ridiculous!
