Berlin School and Synthwave Pulsing Basslines Made Easy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2022
- 🎹 Less Ducka-ducka and more bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp...it's driving synth baselines! Take a peek and learn how easy it is to make chugging synth bass ostinatos and things that make us drive fast across the desert and take aim at the bad guy. ;)

It's remarkable how those evolving Tangerine Dream-style bass grooves that I used to think were quite complicated are actually fairly simple. By programming in a few subtle changes to a simple pattern, I could get lost in a groove like this for hours!
I hope the videos help you do your own!
This is the ONLY kind of music I am making now. And these videos so valuable. As a genre, it has been my fave since 1973. Love this.
Nice! Have fun either way it! Let me know what you create!
As soon as the Airwolf pic showed up I heard the theme playing in my head...
Great info in here!
If it had lyrics I would sing it.
Always enjoy your videos. Great sounds, and useful concepts explained in a way that’s easy to understand and follow. Thanks!
Have fun with it Steve, and thanks!
This is great! So glad to have found this channel.
Thank you sir! I'll see you around the net maybe! ;)
Killer tutorial Luke! Love the scale trick at the end. Keep up the good work!
Thank you veruh’ much. :)
Fabulous Tips regarding the Bass track. Thank you Luke.
Let me hear what you do with it in the future! Thanks!
Your Berlin school/synth wave videos are fantastic and appreciated. Great teaching technique. I prefer the hardware video but the soft synth vids apply. Thank you for these. I will keep watching over and over again.
I hope you make music you’re happy with! Share back so we can hear what you create!
Excellent as always! I really enjoy your style of explaining what you’re doing and the style of music you’re doing is a big bonus.
Thanks Sonny!
OMG been looking for a channel just like yours forever!
Well I've been looking for a person who likes the same stuff that I DO forever as well! So glad we found each other! See you around! ;)
Oh, very nice video. Nice tip about the bass velocity and gate length!
Thanks Ben, much obliged!
This channel is absolutely awesome. Subscribed within a few minutes of seeing the first video that popped up on my feed.
Thanks! I hope you find lots of entertaining and/or useful things here. :)
Nice one Luke but don't forget Sorceror! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, I've been slowly learning the Berlin School vibe so I can use it as a basis for further exploration, and you're really helping me. I could listen to that riff for hours... maybe due to me discovering Encore Live in my formative years, which I've never gotten bored with. Cheers, and please keep it up :)
Oooh I *had* forgotten! It's all very formative from my childhood. Thanks for the encouragement and the same to you!
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
Very nice tutorial and ist look like easy to make this wonderful berlin school sounds.
I hope you make something awesome with it! :)
Awesome. I could listen to that all day.
In the 80’s I think I DID. ;)
Thanks, great videos
Any time. :)
Great video. Thank you
Enjoy! Make something you love!
My new favourite channel, excellent content!
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
Yup! Perfectly in the spirit of those times.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Quite easy to enjoy, given it was well done. Besides, I was still bobbing my head from the jam I did a couple of days ago. Berlin School never dies ;) Have a great evening!@@synthseeker
You too!@@DarkSideofSynth
Thanks @@synthseeker
Verry cool. Love it. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Six minutes in and I'm immediately struck in mind of Jean-Michel Jarre's track 'Arpegiator' from 'The Concerts in China' album (1982). This is a good thing.
Thank you! I hope this helps your own music making! ;)
@@synthseeker Your advice has indeed been cordially noted. 😁 Every little nugget of wisdom helps the process. 😎👍
"Imagine drums" - oh, I am
My drums are "Comedy Gold".
😂
Loved the video! I learned a lot, powerful stuff. Thanks so much!
Plus Knight Rider references can't go wrong. :P
right. That definitely sealed the deal for me 🤩@@synthseeker
Great tutorial. I learned something today.
Makes my day!
Been a Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulz, J M Jarre fan for decades but never quite able to replicate the Berlin School style but your videos make it possible! Thank you so much.
Regarding transpositions, a common technique which I find very effective is to move a whole piece in steps of minor thirds (3 semitones).
Thanks! I’ll experiment with that!
Luke thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, for me you are now Luke skywalker !!
May the force be with you! And lots of Berlin school beats!
Top!!!Thanks
Welcome!
Thanks man. Most underrated synth/electronic music channel.
My pleasure! I would say "unrated" rather than "underrated"...we're kind of niche here. :P
Unrated really is a better fit. Regarding niche: Your content is really valuable for learning any kind of electronic music production. I listen to modern electronic music (psybient, chillgressive ...) and this guys make often use of this oldschool techniques as well. @@synthseeker
So mesmerising,,,,,,
Hey thanks! :)
Great video
Hope it’s useful!
i didn't consider to lower the velocity, makes all the difference for the bass.
Try something new! Thanks!
Disclaimer: no real aliens were hurt in the making of this video.
Thanks a lot for this inspiration, you bet I am going to try this out this weekend!
Any time. Thanks for the feedback!
@@synthseeker I am not sure if I am allowed to share my latest song with you.
If not, please delete this comment and accept my apologies.
If yes, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/Hag9Q_gJ9W0/v-deo.html
👍👍👏👏

start at 1:42
Thank you for optimizing consumption.
Hey and its sounds great but what is the program your yousing ?
That is Ableton Live. :)
Thanks and a great day to you and your famile 🎹🎹🎹👌💪👍
Do you a video on the bass design itself? It's for a friend :D
ua-cam.com/video/3nTMJ_Kb9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=xCQXToftNwWl9eX9
i saw this in a previous vid and am confused; where do you find the scale setup in the clip view (or any view, for that matter), because i can't find it anywhere - i've had to write out the full scale each time, highlight it, hit the back arrow before inputting my notes, and do that for every single clip... please help [edit: forgot to mention i'm using v10.0.1]
I think that is a feature of Live 11.
@@synthseeker thanks, i'll check it out - it's a really useful feature
The Germans love David Hasselhoff. Even Edgar Froese.
As they should! ;)
@8:34 The metronome doesn't annoy me. What annoys me is a lack of information about the exact instrument and preset you used for this ethereal pad. :)
That is two layers in Omnisphere. The first is a D50-style fantasy bell, the second is something with Jarre in the name. Sorry I don’t recall! :( I’ll try to note them in the future.
@@synthseeker That's enough information. thx a lot!
what daw is this
Ableton Live.
im trying to make an insane bassline
Arpeggios are your friend!
Alright? Ehm... *tsk* Right? Okey. Alright. *tsk* Ahem. Right. Okey. Alrright. Right. *tsk*
Roger that?
I have no reason to create my own... All I want is to duplicate what Tangerine Dream music.
Nothing wrong with playing covers! Have fun!
