Processing "Professor, why don't you ask the computer? Note : I used an Alesis airSynth for this sound. Rez zaps. Numbers Feed white noise through a rapidly closing VCF with the resonance cranked. Kraftwerk did. And now most every techno band does. Replace the noise with a sawtooth wave and you've got another offender, rez bass. Now play wet eight-notes ad nauseam. On second thought, please don't.
Note : the mp3 example is an excerpt from Kraftwerk "Numbers", from Computer World 4. Simmons-type syndrum. A burst of noise and a sine wave that pitch-bends down, this synthetic tom-tom may have single-handedly killed disco. Roland TR kick drum. TR bass drum An impossibly low hum, this sound could crumble concrete.
But it always gets a bad rap. TR cowbell. A Last Request This clangorous noise never disappears in a mix, though sometimes we wish it would. And let's not forget the TR hi-hat , a short, metallic noise useful for playing expressionless machine-gun sixteenth notes. Yamaha DX7 Rhodes. Way too many.

And used with wild abandon. James Brown grunts and screams. That's quite enough hitting already. Pan Flute. Behind the Veil. None of us are free. Korg M1 Lore The underwater windchimey thing heard on a thousand commercials. But what is it? He relooped it, remapped it, and trunc'ed it down.
When we used it in subsequent ROMS, it would keep getting chopped up, and when you chop up something rhythmic like that, the loop changes somewhat. So it exists in many forms, ant it's a really cool sound.
No one knows what it is. Not even the people at Korg. M1 Pole. Korg M1 Pole Who'd have thought that tapping a metal pole would have so many repercussions? M1 Magic Organ. Korg M1 Magic Organ A burbling, tinkling digitalian, this sample has built more pads than a mattress factory.

Magic Organ will return in the ROM of an upcoming instrument. Gated Snare. Against All Odds First heard on Peter Gabriel's third album, then virtually trademarked by Phil Collins, this is what happens when you run a drum through excessive reverb and then chop off the decay.

Can you Fine Young Cannibals? Nineteen I can't find a "b-b-b-b-baby" sample at the moment, so how about a "n-n-n-n-nineteen" instead?

Hardcastle used an Emulator II for the Vietnam documetary samples. Girl You Know It's True I have this and the previous loop identified this way in a double sample LP package by Simon Harris, that contained many other loops and sounds suitable for scratching and backbeat purposes.

The "Genie in a bottle" bass-drum pattern. Genie In A Bottle Very cool 16th drum bass programming in this song. The "Glory Box" loop. Scratchy vinyl noise, a melancholic string loop, a great bass, Rhodes with tremolo, wha-wha guitars.

Oh Yeah From great pioneer of electronic pop Swiss band "Yello". The song was featured in several '80s films and is a feast of samples made with early samplers, and punchy 80s drum machines.
The ARP Odyssey "biting" synth bass. Great synth bass sound!

You or your teacher? Hi, I'm taking a course called Music Production Analysis and one of the projects is to imitate a song and get as close as possible to the original.
The choice of Moments in Love was my decision. I love all the piano bits in AON songs. Who does the playing? If that's the goal, it sounds like there's plenty of Lexicon reverb too Oh, another one, Paul Morley. And yet another name, Trevor Horn. I love this tune, btw. Now you need a Waveterm to go with that Wave!!! Maaan, that bass in the remix recording!!!
I wonder how i could achieve the same results.
