It's a D thing

[Wookiee]

It’s a D thing.

The opening riff is something I realised I frequently play quite unconsciously when auditioning or creating synth voices.

Created using;

Three of Arturia’s Mini V (Mini Moog)
Each one is the same basic voice that has had a little tweak of some kind, filter envelope reduced, different footage oscillators, filter cut off start point changed, Emphasis as Moog call it.

Cherry Audio’s: Eight voice, and their new MemoryMood (Memory Moog) emulation.

Written in D major, because I have a thing for both D and Dm.

Thanks for listening.

Particularly liked the panning effects - so much to admire in this - very skilfully done in terms of blends and builds and those big Vangelis style hits. Terrific!

I did once have the pleasure of meeting and talking to Rick for sometime when he played a local venue.  He said he would come out with the rest of the band for a meet and chat after the gig for those who might like to meet them all.

We also shook hands perhaps some of his magic rubbed off on me (doubtful). He proved to be very interesting chap, his bass player was a true genius too.

Thanks for listening.

Thank you Andy you are most kind.  The Cherry Audio 8 voice SEM emulation has such a squelchy growl to it.

Enjoyed this, a touch of Kraftwerk to my ears. Sounded great in my cans too, great job.

Thank you Nigel, to be told it reminds of Vangelis is an humbling, nice to hear you loved it.

[NokNod]

Sounds good! Would be a nice track for something Sci Fi or a Stranger Things episode.

[PhonoBrainer]

Vangelis or if you were playing Bach, the formerly Walter Carlos. Those tones are a time capsule from childhood. Only yours sound cleaner. Nice!

cheers,

[Myriad Rocker]

Nice.  Wouldn't mind collabing on something at some point.

[Bert Guy]

Moog nirvana, here. Bright and upbeat D major lines. I like it.

Cheers,

You are most kind Sir thank you for listening and commenting I can live with an association to those masters of the synth.

Nice to know it took you on a ride to time when Men were Men, Women were Women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
