fantastic drum kit! love the synth!!! great work! 

Can you please tell me the settings you used to achieve the bass, chords/sweep and lead sounds on the Korg Volca Keys? I found the KV Beats and Bass fairly intuitive fresh out the box but I'm really struggling with the KVK and you clearly know your way round it. Thanks. Great funk jam btw.

Some randomly picked pieces from my extremely vast catalogue!

Every sound besides the drums were made on the Korg Volca Keys.

PL vs Radiohead vs NIN vs Nirvana

Every year I try to do a quick demo using products bought during Black Friday sales. This year it's the Korg Collection 4.

I decided to call the track "Black Friday Emails", because that's all my life is now, deleting Black Friday emails. So far I've mostly been able to resist temptation, but the Korg Collection at 50% off was enough to win me over. This was my first test drive with the collection.

muSonics - The Vanilla Synthesizer - May 3 2024 Sequence

Moot gives you the Boz Scaggs Lowdown.
Since the original kinda copped "Family Affair" at the end, I went ahead and took it there too.
I also threw in some "Bennie & The Jets" at the end.
The rhythm guitar is a tribute to Nile Rodgers (aka the best rhythm guitarist of all time).
The drum sound is me trying to cop the sound of MJ's Off The Wall record. 

My idea of a good cover is throwing elements of several different songs or artists into the mix. 
Musical gumbo.


Recorded in a tiny room known as Moot Booxlé Studios. 

Instruments: 
Rhodes Suitcase 73 into AmpliTube 3 JC-120 model with Fender Phaser and Leslie 147. 
DeArmond S73 guitar into AmpliTube 3 w/Fender Deluxe model (lead) and JC-120 model (rhythm).
Yamaha BB450 bass with Thomastik-Infield Jazz Bass flatwound strings.

Overnight Transport

Here's my take on the Stylistics classic "People Make The World Go Round" written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. 

I've always loved this tune and wanted to do something a little different with it rhythmically...Lots of little time signature changes in here. 
I decided to go with my sampled Rhodes rather than the real one because I like the way it "speaks". 

Rhodes: Dusty MkII through AmpliTube3 Vox AC30TB model
Hammond Organ: Logic EVB3
Farfisa Organ: Nord Lead 2X through MXR Dyna Comp, Crybaby 535Q wah into National amp
Bass: NI Monark
Guitar: Strat through MXR Dyna Comp into National amp
Drums: Gretsch/Remo kit with Zildjian and Paiste cymbals

People Make The World Go Round

The classic by Harold Alexander re-interpreted by Moot on some classic analog instruments. 
Check out the video of the performance!

Bass and lead - Moog Minimoog Model D
Organ - modified Hammond M100 through Strymon Lex
Drums - Gretsch with 1970 Rogers Dyna-Sonic snare and vintage Zildjian cymbals

Tite Rope

In progess demo tracks for Yamaha's V80FD prototype workstation keyboard, from late 1988 (from an old cassette tape if stashed from way back when)

The V80FD engine was essentially two DX7II engines combined with a REX50 effects chip to be Yamaha's flagship workstation.  All sounds in the demos created by "Enhanced DX7" 6 operator sine wave FM synthesis, including all drum and percussion sounds.

The enhancements included expanded per operator Pitch EG's, LFO's, as well as velocity to feedback and negative velocity to Operator output.  In addition, the design incorporated expansion slots intended to add future additional synthesis Plug In boards - i.e. sample playback, etc, as would eventually be included in the CS6x and S80/S90

At the last minute it was shelved as the development of the SY77 was moved forward.

Music compositions by Manny Fernandez and Scott Plunkett
