*ABOUT THIS VIDEO*
Let's get into the iconic bass sound from "Flashlight" by Parliament – one of the most influential tracks in music and Minimoog history. I’m going to show you not just how I create that funky growly bass sound on my Moog, but also the importance of the song and the emotionally performing the bass part.
I’ll break down the elements that make this sound stand out, like the mod wheel, pitch wheel, and portamento that give it its punchy, expressive quality. Plus, we’ll get into the envelope generator setting and how I set the attack to really bring that fat groove to life.
While we’re focusing on the Minimoog, you can easily recreate this classic bass sound on just about any synth, including plug-ins! I’ll show you the steps to make this iconic sound on almost any synth without needing to break the bank.
Now, Flashlight is more than just a bassline. It’s about improvisation, rhythm, and pushing the boundaries of performance. I’ll talk about how to embrace the repetitive bassline and turn it into something dynamic, as well as how to keep it funky and fresh in a live setting.
So, whether you’re a synth enthusiast, a Parliament fan, or just looking to learn something new, you don’t want to miss this! Let's break down how to get that legendary bass sound you’ve been hearing all these years. It’s simpler than you think – and a lot of fun to play!
