Vangelis CS80 sound from a moog little phatty ...finally!

[joelang6126]

Is this a specific piece of vangelis music?

[SupraBow]

These sounds were forged in heaven, and little phatty is just picking its frequencies... Just like CS80 did. Bravo!

[NilsGreaterson]

Beautiful sound!!!! I'm going to use your "tutorial video" to create this patch on my LP! Thank you for sharing!

[headz51230]

Moog should've gave you the phatty for marketing purposes man you really make it sing.

[TheFareastman]

I like your performance.

Thank you,Mick!

[Booger6995]

I've lstened to it time and again. Not only does the LP sound great the Juno 6 sounds superb. Really great patch Mick. Gotta give the ears a rest now. CHEERS!!!

[thedonal]

It's not just the sounds- you really capture his performance too. This is a big part of Vangelis' sound.

[POODYMAN2010]

Can you make that sound on the slim phatty, given that they both have the same sound engine ?

what is the main disadvantage of buying the slim phatty instead of the little phatty other than the crammed interface ?

Great video btw :D .

[Booger6995]

@POODYMAN2010 It would seem possible to me. The specs I have seen on the SP indicate they should sound the same. The Slim is just the LP without the KB interface. I'm not sure how connected to the hip they are in the LP. From what I have seen of SPs here on YT I can't hear a difference. Hope some one gets it to work and posts a vid. L8R

[theHackerOfMayhem]

Absolute!

[Babyblue57]

Amazing atmosphere. Can you tell us more about the reverberation used?

[Booger6995]

@Babyblue57 If Mick is still using the same I believe it is a very large hall reverb from his Behringer mixer. They have a really good effects section.

[armednation]

BLADE RUNNER !!!!

[laportama]

What is the big keyboard underneath?

[IAmBound]

@laportama a Yamaha CS 80

[ollie633]

@IAmBound Wrong, its a Roland Juno 60.

[IAmBound]

@ollie633 lol that's what I get for reading the title. Thanks for the info.

[Booger6995]

@ollie633 Wrong. It's a JUNO 6 with a Kenton MIDI kit. You can clearly see the name plate just above KB on the right side at the start of the video. I know Micks studio quite well. Just wish I had his stellar talent though. Gonna keep trying though. :<)

[action4jaxon]

Hey mik, sounds very warm & harmonic, nice to hear!! Wish you much fun with these little Missey!!

[tbonesixtynine]

Sweet! would u mind describing the patch parameters. I would like to try it on my andy :)

[MrRidgebackman]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a great effort and I love that sound. Moog's have this way of making sounds that can rip your throat out or produce sounds that can make you cry. Shame that lasted only just under 3 minutes, I could listen to that all night!!! Excellent

[TheInnocentSynth]

Absolutely beautiful Mick.......



[trouserclips]

Mik, Happy Christmas m8t.

[zenmachinefilms]

Terrific stuff, sounds and reverb, wonderful.

[Booger6995]

Wonerful Mick. That Hall reverb you have really hits the spot. Great tweaking of the LP. Cheers!! L8R Ron

[FratboyJim]

Listening to this makes me happy. Great job!

[shredderclone]

first of all awesome stuff... you got the same taste in music as i do... second would you please consider shareing this patch? i got a LP but it won't sound anything like this :(

[mik300z]

@shredderclone Thankyou! Just uploaded a runthrough of the settings:)

[JarrickAerdyn]

Awesome sound!! Please, pretty please with cream and sugar and everything else you like on top: Do a tutorial video!!! I would really like this sound coming from my LP!

[mik300z]

@JarrickAerdyn Your wish is my command..video done, hope it works out for all you LP owners..(the LP is not mine by the way its on loan from a friend)

[retrosound72]

Hi Mick, what a fantastic sound from the LP. :))

What a pleasure a new video from you. keep up "old" friend :)

[mik300z]

@retrosound72 Hi Marco, many thanks.  The Model D was a pain to tune up when I had it but It really warm, the huge power that came from it..and the LP ...is amazing:)

[denvoices]

Hi Mike, extra music! The sounds are very pure and very well chosen. I love ...

See you soon.

[tsu3000]

wonderful!

[NOIRSUN71]

very nice work.

[majklik10]

Super and warm huge sound !! God job :-)

[mik300z]

@majklik10 Cheers! But don't thank me, thank the genius of Bob Moog:):)

[ironwoodestudios]

@mik300z TAME A MOOG?

[wizardofozbe]

Majestic sound you've created here Mik, and the reverb suits it perfectly.. a job well done! 10********** Grtz, Dave

[mik300z]

@wizardofozbe Hey Dave, Cheers for watching, just made a new song inspired by the sound , best wishes my friend:)

[MrEvanbooker]

@mik300z Were there any songs that you based this piece and sound off of?

[Booger6995]

@MrEvanbooker He made a follow up to show the settings. Check his channel.

[MrEvanbooker]

@Booger6995 Thank you.

[Yuwipiman]

Hall of Fame patch on the Moog for sure! Beautifully done, nice playing.

[keesvangelis]

great work !!

very good sound realy nice tune

[monkeh88]

very nice

[VictoryBarry]

Thank you Mike ! That's a lovely sound and quite melodic also :)

[gucio2739]

Witam,chciałem Ci podziękować za to co robisz poprostu niesamowity klimat i proszę o więcej!!! Pozdrawiam Tomasz "Merry Christmas"

[U5096]

amazing, you've really mastered the Vangelis/CS80 sound there. Time for a cover of 'I hear you now' I think? ;)

[bambamstudio]

Cool! My phatty is screaming for it!

[n3bsvid]

Nice sounds, good job!

[accino61]

FANTASTIC my friend, you are a master of LP. i've got one too but i can't make a sound like that one. Please send me the patch if you like

[ziggy1a1]

A real spinetingler of LP loveliness

[skoulaman]

Thx Mike ...you let see the truly power of the LP ...great song by the way.

But I must say ...the reverb does do a great job as well (in a lot of Vangelis made music).

greetings Hans (also a proud owner of a LP)

[RADIOKLOW]

Your work is really splendid ! This means how much one has to study deeply the Little Phatty : it is absolutely true the basic factory sounds are uninteresting in themselves (except one or two). But as soon as you begin working to create you discover it has infinite capacities. It is the proof of these instruments superiority to hide this way their secret powers. Every musician is free to imagine and reveal unsuspected worlds all different to the others. So you do !

[gianfuzzi]

buon natale

[tompaulsen2002]

Mike, pure awesomeness as always. ;) I see you moved back into your kitchen. I had a Phatty before i switched to a Voyager. The Phatty raw sound can be tamed when you keep the filter overload down to zero and also when you change the filter poles. Experiment with a 12dB setting. Also the super fast envelopes can help.

[mik300z]

@tompaulsen2002 Cheers! I must try that, not gone into the master settings much yet

[tompaulsen2002]

@mik300z Try it, it´s worth it. Also have a look in the Eventide Space. The reverb of that stomp box is HUGE. Both together makes an excellent couple.

[bountykiller91]

very good work;) do you use an external reverb?

[mik300z]

@bountykiller91 Hi , yes, a long hall reverb from the behringer mixer

[bambamstudio]

This sound is great! Will you share the patch?

[mik300z]

@bambamstudio I will try and work out someting for you guys, I promise when I get time:)

[DJGahann]

Damn, I sold mine :-( Very impressive, didn't think the LP could sound this lush...

[mcklain]

I got shivers.

[Tischhupe]

Very good.

[rozz3r]

Lovely. I like the Little Phatty for it's raw & growly sound, but you got some real beauty from it. What's the reverb?

[psbmastering]

Very nice sound! Not Moog-like. Wondering what kind of effects did you use. Especially Reverb. Any guitar FX pedals? Thank you for sharing. Truly beautiful sound with cool Christmas lights!

[mik300z]

@psbmastering thankyou! I just ran it through a cheap -enough old behringer mixer and used the hall reverb setting, no other fx or pedals:)

[filstalmedia]

Hi Mick!

Very nice improvisation with this Phatty gear. Doesn't sound as clean as awaited. What about the resolution of the params when the filter is tuned while playing? Any jumps to hear?

cheers,

Matt

[warp2600]

Awesome sound, indeed! Thanks for showing us it can do this as well...

[fredturd]

Mmmmmmm, I love "Chariots of Blade Runner"

[adrianh63]

Awesome!

Very nice

Monophonic & unlimited can create art!

My list of synths is the Voyager in the not too distant future

I'm sure i'll be feeling you!!

[BustaJonesGavin]

Another wonderful upload Mik. Was beginning to wonder where you had gone to. hehe :) Seriously, this is heaven to my ears. Thank you for this.

[RRKS69]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[tpm6888]

AWSOME!!!! GREAT SOUND!!! I think you tamed it goood.... :)

[betolevrone]

NICE SONG AND GREAT SYNTHS

[Johnsys359]

Wow! Just....Wow! The sound just gives me goosebumps.

[Ganthir]

Ahhh... yes this sound is good :)

[mattsynth]

Hi Mik, my favorite synth is a Moog voyager. You are correct about the raw sound but with a little tweeking and effects the Moog can not be beat. I use my Moog for bass and leads in every song I write. Give it time and you will fall in love with this synth also because nothing sounds or plays like it. Enjoy.

[mik300z]

@mattsynth Hi Matt, yes you're right , it is a huge sound compared to most modern polysynths. It behaves a bit like a model D too, the longer the oscillators have to warm up the sweeter it gets. I Reckon the moog Voyager must be even better. .

[Hyper5nic]

:-) I very much like how the moog kind of 'sings' in the tail of each note.

It tends to drown the melody though when two notes sound shortly after or at the same time.

Thanks for sharing. Although short, it sounded wonderfull!

[mik300z]

@Hyper5nic Thankyou! yes, you almost get the feeling of aftertouch expression with this sound because it behaves differently in the way you strike the keys. The vibrato through the LFO gives it a lovely warm feel.

[grandmoff]

Very well achievement!

[mik300z]

@grandmoff thankyou my friend :)

[kaweiros]

hello mik very nice sound :)

[mik300z]

@kaweiros Hello ,and thanks for watching!

[hdprice]

That's the most un-Moog sounding Moog I've ever heard. Congrats on the taming!! ;)

[mik300z]

@hdprice I guess thats true, moogs are really for other power punchy stuff....thankyou!

[hdprice]

@mik300z Like you said they normally sound raw. Sometimes that's great, like when Numan used them on Replicas, but you've made it sound refined and sweet. Awesome stuff as always my friend.

[mik300z]

@hdprice cheers! Yes, I have found it so difficult to gel the moog into what i'm doing I nearly gave up on it. It's just that it cuts through the mix so well, it wants to be heard above everything else. When I had the model D last year I had the same thing ...a huge sound that begs to be played with, but ended up on its own in the track. I used it extensively on Astral fare, similar leads as this, very warm and inviting:)

[ElectricSparq]

Someone tell Vangelis that he's got a brother.

[mik300z]

@ElectricSparq :) i'll take the compliment, cheers!

[jayc2469]

Spine tingling! seriously!

Bravo that man

I've been tinkering with Arturia CS80v2 software to get *that* Vangelis sound but it just doesn't quite cut it. On screen sliders are no comparison to Analogue controls with real knobs & buttons

[mik300z]

@jayc2469 I deleted the Arturia a year ago, impossible to re-create the real cs80....I'm actually scared to touch the moog now in case the very same sound never comes back. You can store presets on it but when its switched on the next time, it takes a while to warm up ...just like its older cousin. thanks by the way!

[ortml99]

Happy Holidays Mik! I done much to spread the word amongst my you-tube followers about your music. I have enjoyed everything I've listened to and look forward to your new videos. Continued success.

[mik300z]

@ortml99 Many thanks, much appreciated and merry xmas:)
