This is great! I'm curious, how does one go about learning simple keyboard techniques like this? I have lots of percussion experience, and would like to utilize churning basslines like this, but I'm not sure I want to take formal piano lessons or anything... I'm not trying to play classical or jazz pieces.
@maligno1000 it's even more simple... the sequencer plays a note every half beat at 120 bpm, if you double the bpm of the sequence you'll get that bassline... just by pressing one finger. It's an automatic programm every synth had then, but Bobby is one of the few clever guy who found that tip...
HOW Bobby Orlando did it, is irrelevant. Fact is, he's made some legendary tracks. Now, what's YOUR legacy.
And, in 1982 nothing was easy... this track was still pre-midi (which would later in that year be iintroduced)... The Fairlight CMI II, which this was made with, only had a very basic sequencer and everything else was analogue, including the editing... So, when put into context, it was quite a feat.
I'd like to see/hear that too... but them some moaning tw*t here will say: "Oh, that Giorgio Moroder used sequencers... he's got no talent" and bypassing the fact he's won an Oscar and made some of the most legendary dance-tracks in the world.
thank god for inventing the arpeggiator all my synths have :D

Hi any chance you could list the sequence (keys) for this bass line. I would really like to recreate it also.
Thanks

Just pick 3 - 5 notes, play single finger notes, right to leftt, hand to hand. Play the octaves.

Naturally Bobby O did... he used the Roland Micro Composer and the "Page R" of his Fairlight CMI II to do his sequences.

Yes, you are right about Mr. O. For me, I like the feeling of just playing it. Sequencing is too easy.
