Ha ha ha. Une seule réponse : c'est un métier. Ca ne s'invente pas. Il faut d'abord apprendre le son, les machines et le jargon. Il faut étudier, et ça prend des années.
Anthony, I was 17 when the album dropped. I had a fantastic stereo in my car, so I would go out to my car and BLAST Thriller! The car was rocking and I felt that bass. I knew I was listening to an innovative and immaculately engineered song. Thank you for enriching my life!
It's amazing how UA-cam keeps these mind blowing channels hidden away from me until the moment I absolutely need them in my life. This is EXACTLY the knowledge I need to immerse myself in right now... Very excited!!
It's such an honor to see people like you, Anthony, who've helped develop such influential music with your god-given talent, showcase your skillset here on YT. Thank you for sharing your artwork. I know other sound designers will definitely appreciate you as well. I look forward to more of these videos. 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A legend still lives among us. Thanks Anthony for blessing MJ with your genius and in turn blessing us all. Recently landed on your channel and I've been binge-watching. So glad this treasure is being archived here on UA-cam. We need to get you to over a million subs at least
I have been trying to replicate this bass sound for MONTHS using a Mini Moog, Memorymoog, etc. because I was always told it was a Moog. Now I know why it never had the same feel! Thank you so much for doing this. Subscribing and going through your other videos and podcasts now!
YT did a good job putting this into my feed for some reason.. Glad I saw this. Damn awesome beautiful stuff, so few people know how to construct sounds in this way these days - it's a legendary art now... Thank you and hello from an off-grid Brit in the deep forests in Poland! :) 🎶🎵🎶🎵
I hope people share these videos with as many people as possible. This is amazing content and Anthony deserves way more views and subscribers. It's so generous of him to share his knowledge and insights. Not everyone in his position would be willing to reveal their trade secrets, especially for free. Thank you Anthony!
Wow! Its easy to hear that sound and just take it for granted, but there was always so much happening in that sound. It seems even when we can't immediately appreciate everything that's happening, it has an effect on the way we process those sounds. Its complexity is almost subliminal in its effects. Thank you for sharing.
Anthony-Sensei! Thank you very much for this! It really means a lot for many musicians that grew up with Thriller like me and my brother. I wish you a happy 2023 full of health, a lot of work, creativity and peace! David from Japan!
When I sat next to my Dad's turntable here in little Norway and listened to Thriller back in the 80's I couldn't even imagine being able to see all the guys and gear involved in making those genius sounds. This is amazing.
These series of Thriller album videos are a proof enough what MJ (+ Quincy) was hearing in his head when composing the album and he was not just a dancing genius but also a genius musician who pushed the limits for everyone around. Mostly, people go ga ga over the rock musicians' rig, eg EVH or Gilmour, but this is every bit as superlative as it can get.
This channel is my discovery of the year. I played my Thriller tape when I was 9 years in Manila Philippines. Everyone was into that album. Now Imget to appreciate Michaels music more. I feel connected to the music more.
Absolutely awesome! This is so important for the history of music. It is one thing to reproduce a sound by careful reengineering and something completely different to see and understand the original motivation and details of a patch. More of original sound design and background stories, please! :)
The way you proceed to explain us how the patch is made. is just amazing. Thriller to me is the best album ever made, and there won't be a better one! Thanks for the great synths on it!
Thanks Anthony. Really great insight - I, probably like many, thought it was a Moog on the record. I spent about 10 years playing Thriller in London's West End and on four touring productions of the Thriller Live show, so have played this bassline hundreds of times on as close approximation as was possible programmed into a c2000 vintage Roland Fantom, doubled with bass guitar which I know wasn't on the recording but worked well with an onstage live band (and v close tracking!). The arrangements in the show were very faithful to the records and it was a marvellous insight into the combined geniuses and teamwork of MJ, Quincy, Rod, Greg's playing and cool turnarounds, and now I know to include your good self. I think the best part of playing the song in the show were the "ga-gows" in the breakdown, which cued the onstage zombie sequence. I have a MiniMoog and a Prophet 5, and the Arturia 2600 so will have a bit of a play, although right away I'm not sure the P5 has the right sonic signature...we will see! Thanks again for sharing.
This is amazing. I had thought this baseline was a Jupiter 8 in unison all these years hahaha. This MUST be seen by all funk producers! Spread the word!
My whole childhood-vibes are built on the Thriller album (even though I'm from 2003), what is just pure magic and will propably dictate the rest of my life. Anthonty, thank you so much for your contributions and, now, for these amazingly informative videos!
This makes so much sense on the 2600 because of the envelope! I’ve always found it harder to play on the Minimoog as you have to be «on your toes» all the time for the envelope to retrigger correctly.
Fantastic simple yet detailed walk through for this classic synth tone. I used my 2600 for a month before I bought some patch cables & this was my first patch using them. Thanks legend!
The amount of knowledge this gentleman has, has blew my mind. I think about most of the hip hop producer these days like DJ Khaled so unfairly rich. This guy deserves a statue somewhere.
😮 I can’t believe we’re watching how the greatest synth baseline in history was made with the man that created it. This is what the internet was made for.
Thank you so much! I was looking for this information for years! The Thriller album conviced me as an E-bass player that bass on keyboard is an instrument in its own right.
That sound was hiding in plain sight, I never realized how good it really is until now. The moog and VST comparisons are really interesting too. Subscribed!
It's crazy how young this man looks and how energetic he is sharp as a tac since watching him I have learned a thing or two about synthesizers because before I didn't know dog diddly squat but watching this Channel and listening to the way he explains everything makes it seem so easy and understandable
Thank you for sharing this, it's really good to have the real guy who did the real thing sharing his real knowledge. Totally rare, in a world of "Noone" teaching "Everyone" how to do "Everything". Really, I don't know how to thank you.
Wow thanks for this wonderful piece of history, I hope you make more videos like this as it's very inspirational (and helpful given we live in the analogue synth renaissance!)
Reminds me of school in the early 90, electronics class, creating circuits on an application board with the wiring complexity building up and up 😅! Only here it creates these cool sounds, love how you unearth your secrets.
I always tought this bassline was made using a Minimoog. Seeing you how you make the actual sounds is amazing! I just subscribed to your channel, love your content!
Thanks for posting this. I used to play this part on a Korg Mono/Poly. I haven't even thought of creating a synth patch for decades. It brought back a lot of memories.
I aways assumed a Jupiter played that bass because I thought it had the fattest grit out there for that lower note. It's absolutely amazing to seeing It played back by the legend responsible for lying down that sound! Thank you so much for sharing your contribution to such a special track!
Amazing, especially the cables magically appearing, disappearing, and changing color 😀This sound could have been another one of those best kept secrets, except for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and skills. Thank you so much!
Thanks for showing how you made the patch :) It would be awesome to see you make more sound design videos from the Thriller album or just sound design in general, no worries if not, this was super interesting anyway, i will try it out on my ARP clone.
@@anthonymarinellimusic Would like too see the chord patch/spooky sound @ at the end of thriller would be cool too see the programming for that. Much love, thank you for showing us the programming behind the sounds.
Hi @@anthonymarinellimusic The main arpeggiated sound from Human Nature is a really nice sound, i can hear a couple of layers going on, would be great to see, or even the method that you would have used for processing the drum machines at the time and the fx units that you may have used, i know prince used the Eventide H949 to widen the hihats, any little nuggets like that are really interesting as they are getting kind of forgotten these days as computer processing takes over. But any synth sounds/bass's from Thriller from simplest to the more complex would be absolutely amazing to see you recreate!
Your videos are priceless, such unique insights from one of the most amazing album and artist ever. Thank you very much for your work from then and now! Greetings from Romania!
I really love your videos Anthony, I appreciate that you took so much time to explain to us the professional side of the "show". You made it look so easy just to (cv) trigger, play and sequence all those sometimes very stuborn devices and at the end you always managed to let them "speak" as one, I still have quite an analog synth based studio too, but unfortunate nothing came out of it thus far. Just want to say that I recognise your struggles too to get that sound that you want, thanks again for posting this!
Your Arp Seems pretty hard to find im glad that you have it still. I have the Behringer 2600 and behringer model d. After Watching this video I understand some key differences between the two especially for the thriller bass and many others like it. Thank you so much . Never give up on your dreams and ambitions. You are doing absolutely fantastic.
Just did this patch on my Behringer ARP2600 Blue Marvin. There is only one or two patch points which are different, but it does sound the same. Thanks Anthony!!!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I will try to recreate the sound on at least two virtual instruments I own. The Cherry Audio ARP 2600 and U-HE RePro-1. I'll see if I can get fairly close.
@@sevchykI think it sounds very similar. But the value ranges (filter cutoff, envelope attack, etc.) seem to be quite different on the Cherry Audio ARP 2600 than on the Arturia version. But you should set it according to what you hear anyway.
@@djpopcorns that's not what they were saying. They were saying and inferring that if you were using these at the time or even using them now as vintage, that you can't really just know how to play but you also need to be a bit of an engineer too.....no matter who you are and no matter who's playing. They were talking about using this equipment in general...and not talking about this man specifically.
Would love to see a breakdown on that ringing sound layered over the bass in the organ section. I found it could have been a square wave with a fast lfo from the jupiter or the frog patch from a casio 401.
How cool is this? He is playing with a, over 50-year-old ARP 2600 Synthesizer. That still works! That was an awesome Synthesizer. Way more deep. Than a mini Moog.. I had a ARP 2600 original portable bright blue colored one. To use. When I was hired on as a full-blown, Audio Engineer. At the largest recording studio south of New York City. Which was not in Philadelphia but in Baltimore. In 1973. And they assigned me to Control Room B. Which had that ARP 2600. I would have to use. To pulse A/V Slide Shows, with. When I was all of 17 years of age! And a high school dropout. Since I also had a 2 per week shift. At the NPR Affiliate for Baltimore, WBJC-FM 91.5. When I was only 15 years old. And already working in my career field, nearly full-time. And no time left for stupid teachers at high school. And so my dropping out of high school. Was due in part. Being in Band Class. And custom designing and fabricating a full-blown, broadcast style, radio station. At my high school. And then I started training the other kids. Who also went on to have careers in broadcasting and the Recording Arts & Sciences. Like me. Doing both. Broadcasting and Music and advertising agency commercial, productions. And no time for stupid high school anymore! And dealing with stupid high school teachers. My English teacher couldn't even say the word Go. Without a long drawn out, Baltimore accent. A single word! With two letters! That included an accent! What the FUCK? And the sentence came out…" And which way did he, Gooooouuuuooo? And I had had enough of the Baltimore accent. As I was originally from Detroit, Michigan. Where we speak the, Midwestern American English, Dialect and accent. That you hear all, newscaster anchors, Scientists and most politicians and doctors all speak. And only on intellectual hillbillies and rednecks speak or, rather talk the, American Texan Dialect. Which has proliferated among the Soufff, Inhabitants. When day don't know no better. And are colored white. In color. With an anti-Semite shadow. Of red colored veins and arteries. All, red. All of the time. 100%, red. As opposed to Reading. Which is the other red as inbred. As they are. Just like the Whitaker Family of, West Virginia. Who are all cute folk. And can't speak a word. They are so inbred and red. Just like every West Virginian with, Black Lung Disease. Like every respectable West Virginia and coalminer has. Because they like digging like dogs! That's all there inbred nature knows how to do! And inbreed some more. And follow Jesus. Jesus in the morning. Jesus in the afternoon. Jesus at dinner time. And Jesus for dessert. Jesus takes care of everything! Yeah no he does not. He's dead. For over 2000 years now. And he's not coming back. And cannot reverse your inbreeding. But they don't know any better. They are like little puppy dogs. And Ray barks, Timmy can say oh geez! And Lorraine studies, Air Molecules, deeply. She could tell you all about them. If she could talk. And she talks when she has something to say. Her caregiver, says. But maybe it was just, Timmy? Who can say oh geez. And graduated high school! For morons! And got a gold star on his four head. Or heads? Maybe all of them? He made from papier-mâché. And then Timmy gets on his hands and knees. And digs for them in the living room floor. Like a little puppy dog. Oh geez! Timmy says. And Ray barks in approval. And then shows off his phallus. He's proud of. When he knows it's there. Aunt wants to show it to you. His really cool, Protuberance. And it shows you how well it works on his front lawn. Ray is so cute when he barks. He could also say, Hey. Which is remarkable! And can say it more than once! He can even say it fastly. As in quick. And has mastered that 3 letter word! Or is that 2 letters? I forget? So does Ray. That's why he barks! He learned that from his pooch. That is smarter than he is. Knows how to protect itself. Knows how to survive. Where Ray knows none of that. And is so cute. Wouldn't you want to hop in bed with him? And to cuddle up with the dog and the rat pet? With Ray. Who would likely also still sucks his thumb. And can do the same with other things when presented with them. With baby bottles and other like items. Which makes real googly. Until he then plays with, himself. Which they do not put on camera. He just does that as many times as possible during a normal course of the day. Out on the front lawn. So people can be proud of Ray's accomplishments! Oh look! It's Ray playing with himself again. Hi Ray! Oh good he barked. He's happy. Let's get Ray some dog biscuits. I love that Whitaker Family TV show on UA-cam! They are my favorites! Breed on! RamyRAD
a tip for the KORG MS-20 (mini): i followed your instructions, then for articulation use the hold parameter for EG2 to taste to allow for a multi trigger legato! for the pulse use VCO1 and for the sawtooth VCO2. that's it! you may use the HPF for to add low frequency resonance (this way mimicking the sine) and keep the high frequencies! thanks for sharing the "trade secrets" 😀.

So that PWM on the second osc is what really gives it that chorusy sound without having chorus on it. Amazing.
Yes 🙌
@@anthonymarinellimusic that's PWM for your 😎
Modulation the PW is an old way of making a single oscillator sound like multiple oscillators. It’s magical that it works this way.

These series of Thriller album videos are a proof enough what MJ (+ Quincy) was hearing in his head when composing the album and he was not just a dancing genius but also a genius musician who pushed the limits for everyone around.
Mostly, people go ga ga over the rock musicians' rig, eg EVH or Gilmour, but this is every bit as superlative as it can get.

That was a joy to watch.
I’m late to the mix but oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful and enriching video from a true legend!!
And the rest was history ✨✨🤯
Would love to see a breakdown on that ringing sound layered over the bass in the organ section. I found it could have been a square wave with a fast lfo from the jupiter or the frog patch from a casio 401.
How cool is this? He is playing with a, over 50-year-old ARP 2600 Synthesizer. That still works!
That was an awesome Synthesizer. Way more deep. Than a mini Moog..
I had a ARP 2600 original portable bright blue colored one. To use. When I was hired on as a full-blown, Audio Engineer. At the largest recording studio south of New York City. Which was not in Philadelphia but in Baltimore. In 1973. And they assigned me to Control Room B. Which had that ARP 2600. I would have to use. To pulse A/V Slide Shows, with. When I was all of 17 years of age! And a high school dropout. Since I also had a 2 per week shift. At the NPR Affiliate for Baltimore, WBJC-FM 91.5. When I was only 15 years old. And already working in my career field, nearly full-time. And no time left for stupid teachers at high school.
And so my dropping out of high school. Was due in part. Being in Band Class. And custom designing and fabricating a full-blown, broadcast style, radio station. At my high school. And then I started training the other kids. Who also went on to have careers in broadcasting and the Recording Arts & Sciences. Like me. Doing both. Broadcasting and Music and advertising agency commercial, productions. And no time for stupid high school anymore! And dealing with stupid high school teachers. My English teacher couldn't even say the word Go. Without a long drawn out, Baltimore accent. A single word! With two letters! That included an accent! What the FUCK? And the sentence came out…" And which way did he, Gooooouuuuooo? And I had had enough of the Baltimore accent. As I was originally from Detroit, Michigan. Where we speak the, Midwestern American English, Dialect and accent. That you hear all, newscaster anchors, Scientists and most politicians and doctors all speak.
And only on intellectual hillbillies and rednecks speak or, rather talk the, American Texan Dialect. Which has proliferated among the Soufff, Inhabitants. When day don't know no better. And are colored white. In color. With an anti-Semite shadow. Of red colored veins and arteries. All, red. All of the time. 100%, red. As opposed to Reading. Which is the other red as inbred. As they are. Just like the Whitaker Family of, West Virginia. Who are all cute folk. And can't speak a word. They are so inbred and red. Just like every West Virginian with, Black Lung Disease. Like every respectable West Virginia and coalminer has. Because they like digging like dogs! That's all there inbred nature knows how to do! And inbreed some more. And follow Jesus. Jesus in the morning. Jesus in the afternoon. Jesus at dinner time. And Jesus for dessert. Jesus takes care of everything! Yeah no he does not. He's dead. For over 2000 years now. And he's not coming back. And cannot reverse your inbreeding. But they don't know any better. They are like little puppy dogs. And Ray barks, Timmy can say oh geez! And Lorraine studies, Air Molecules, deeply. She could tell you all about them. If she could talk. And she talks when she has something to say. Her caregiver, says. But maybe it was just, Timmy? Who can say oh geez. And graduated high school! For morons! And got a gold star on his four head. Or heads? Maybe all of them? He made from papier-mâché. And then Timmy gets on his hands and knees. And digs for them in the living room floor. Like a little puppy dog. Oh geez! Timmy says. And Ray barks in approval. And then shows off his phallus. He's proud of. When he knows it's there. Aunt wants to show it to you. His really cool, Protuberance. And it shows you how well it works on his front lawn. Ray is so cute when he barks. He could also say, Hey. Which is remarkable! And can say it more than once! He can even say it fastly. As in quick. And has mastered that 3 letter word! Or is that 2 letters? I forget? So does Ray. That's why he barks! He learned that from his pooch. That is smarter than he is. Knows how to protect itself. Knows how to survive. Where Ray knows none of that. And is so cute. Wouldn't you want to hop in bed with him? And to cuddle up with the dog and the rat pet? With Ray. Who would likely also still sucks his thumb. And can do the same with other things when presented with them. With baby bottles and other like items. Which makes real googly. Until he then plays with, himself. Which they do not put on camera. He just does that as many times as possible during a normal course of the day. Out on the front lawn. So people can be proud of Ray's accomplishments! Oh look! It's Ray playing with himself again. Hi Ray! Oh good he barked. He's happy. Let's get Ray some dog biscuits.
I love that Whitaker Family TV show on UA-cam! They are my favorites! Breed on!

Respect 🙏. Much love from Burundi 🇧🇮
Very inspirational, makes me want to pick up an ARP clone and try to make these patches.
Brilliant video.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing channel!!!!! Legendary stuff!
This is rad! I love the music and history here.
Thank you Antony.Very kind from you
I've always thought and read that was two modified minimoog but goodjob that sound really good with the 2600
Amazing that he still remembers how to patch it.
a tip for the KORG MS-20 (mini): i followed your instructions, then for articulation use the hold parameter for EG2 to taste to allow for a multi trigger legato! for the pulse use VCO1 and for the sawtooth VCO2. that's it! you may use the HPF for to add low frequency resonance (this way mimicking the sine) and keep the high frequencies!
thanks for sharing the "trade secrets" 😀.
This is amazing and fascinating and your knowledge and skills are extremely impressive! Thank you for posting this
