I can't believe how lucky we are to live in an age where we can get absolute legends showing us how they made some of the most important synth patches on World changing albums on the same synths that were used during the recording. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us, Anthony. I'll probably never be lucky enough to own a legit Arp 2600 or Jupiter 8, but the fundamentals of subtractive synthesis means I can use your tips on the synths I do have and so far, the bass patch techniques have really helped me out of a creative rut.

Couldn't agree more. The Behringer 2600 clone is actually pretty amazing.

@@KILLAGORILLA7000 I was sleeping on it until I saw these videos… and now I may have to take a sip from Uli’s poison chalice (actually, that’s a bit dramatic as I bought a WASP deluxe in a summer sale last year… but it feels less cheeky as EDP have long since gone out of business)

@ghost mall Basically the same... I went and grabbed my Arturia Microfreak because I knew right away I could module that the PWM with an envelope and instantly fell in love with my new bass patch! Such a simple little trick and one I'd never thought of... for all the hours of synth patch tutorials I've never seen it mentioned. Now I want a synth with proper ADSR envelopes and proper polyphony with a good unison mode... by far the biggest GAS attack I've felt in a while (or maybe I'm just trying to justify buying a Minifreak).

True dat!

All of your videos are SO “watchable” - just the right balance of instruction and banter without overly produced graphics and visual effects that makes your videos perfectly engaging. THANK YOU!

I think it’s nice that you don’t overvalue these synthesizers the way I’ve seen some influencers do. At the end of the day, the JP8 is a tool, and while it’s a high quality tool, it’s nice to see that you place the emphasis on the person and idea making the sound, rather than the components and circuitry. It lowers the barrier of entry to this world, and we need that.

I love how he isn’t just showing us some chords and instruments used to play the intro but he’s explaining sound design very vividly. 👍

Just reading his Wiki page. This guy is a musical genius! But not just that, he spent many years studying under different mentors. He was born for this, literally!!!!

There is plenty of material available on the production of Thriller, but never anything this in depth on how the music performed on the album was made. Every fan of Thriller needs to watch these videos!

One of the best albums of all time . I think the world loved thriller thank you for sharing.❤

dude your the man behind the curtain!

Some of the most useful videos out there for producers designing sounds. So much credibility added when it's someone like you. Thanks for sharing and will be an avid follower.

I know many other people have made very similar comments... but Anthony Marinelli is, in the most authentic sense of the word, a true legend!

Terrific video! I'm loving learning more about these vintage synths, the role you played in those legendary songs, and how they were constructed. Keep 'em coming! Massive thanks and appreciation to you.

This is gold!!

After watching this, I search for the thriller song and listen to it. Such a great master sound engineered behind it. 👍

It’s so amazing, you are so cool, so humble. All of your videos are a real treasure, we are so lucky. Thank you so much.

You’re the man! Your love for syntheses has been life long

It's like sitting there in the studio with you, watching you do your thing (= magic). Thank you so much for sharing all of this with the world. This is beyond fantastic.

Great to have the deconstruction from the real artist! I had previously read the lead was several layers of Jupiter 8, so great to hear the correct story!

Eh I guess it sorta of is in a way. Because of the tweaking you get like multiple layers of a sound that sounds like you actually were layering.

So excited for the Synclavier part. Can you do it using Arturia Synclavier too?

You are a gem of a man Anthony, these videos are very good, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Do you know that every example you played sounded perfect....from our collective memory. Yet..you and others, are discerning enough to understand the subtle harmonies of tonality and pitch. Which is why you get the big bucks...I appreciate that music is a language and a mystic formula that a rare few can speak. Kudos to you and others who bring to us low borns the magic of fantastic musical numbers. I see all your instruments of your craft and I marvel at your wizardry. Kudos to you, my friend....enjoy your gifts!!

You're a synth wizard. I would listen to you talk your way through any patch. It's fascinating! Would you ever want to discuss your little eurorack setup back there under the 2600?

Synclavier bass for Billie Jean programming, next!!

Boy! I. LOVE this series! Even tho I’m a bassist, I love synthesizers. That Jupiter 8 part was spot on. Didn’t know The Synclavier was built around that time. Then come to find out it was used on ‘beat it.’ Can’t wait for part 3. 😌🎶🎹👍🏾

I am so happy to have found your channel, thanks for everything you have done for us Anthony! ❤greetings from Argentina 🍻

Love all your shirts man! Brilliant

Can you make a video about the synths you have in the room? Would love to watch!!!

Thanks for this video! It's really cool that you can share these details with us. All your explanations are really clear so there's stuff I can apply in my music. Maybe sometime you can make a video that talks about some of the in-studio process back then. I love hearing stories about how little details of songs came to be.

Another great video! I've always struggled decoding other people's sounds. But since I've come across your channel I'm actually getting better at it, particularly breaking down the components. Thanks again for doing this, you're a great teacher!!!

You don’t have half the idea the jewels you’re throwing around! 🙏🏾

This is some enjoyable stuff. I am amazed. Thanks!

Thanks for making these videos!

I really enjoy this video and cool sounds and thank you very much. I like to hear those synth sounds

These videos are absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for putting them together.

Your explanations of why settings were used and the precise effect you wanted to achieve are invaluable, and really inspiring.

As always - all good!

I really learn from the subtle differences between very small increments on the knob or slider on the VCF and EG as it can make substantial changes to the overall sound. Great videos. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

Jupiter was always the keyboard i wanted badly ! It tripped me out how just looking at It made me feel like you could magically go to jupiter with the controls lol

I wish your videos had been around when I first got into synthesis back in the 90s!

Anthony you are the best Playing the synths

great

😎😎😎, ur the man with genius play,

😍😍😍

Oh dear.... Whenever I see these videos in which old analogue Roland synths are being featured, I go back 20 years (which's yesterday really. See the lyrics to 'Time' by Pink Floyd, saves me some... well... :P), when I bought a Roland Juno-6 from sorta Dutch "E-babe" (LOL, I'm afraid my comment gets deleted when I say the actual name of the website) for €400. I don't know how much that is in Dollars, but I guess it's pretty much the same, more or less. I sold it back in 2007 or 08 and now, on that Dutch Eeb-A site, it goes for +€2000. :O :O Dear!! It's not all about the money, but good grief! Even though Behringer's got a Juno clone out now, which's pretty neat so it seems, I still regret selling it. It's about nostalgia as well, init? At least TAL's Uno plugin serves me well for the time being, haha. Seems like I'm having a laugh, but that plugin actually sounds really, really good! ;) ps. Just something that popped into mind as I was about to hit the "enter" button: what about sending a plugin out to analogue pedals/ (valve) preamps or whatever, back into Pro Tools or whatever DAW to spice things up a bit? Nice topic for a video, right? ;)

Thx! Great! Master of synths! Can you show some tips/ways how you use sherman filterbank in your setup!? /Peter

You guys all had nicknames for each other in the studio, Smelly, Svensk. What was yours?

❤❤❤

I'm very interested in songs like Smooth Criminal or Bad, those baselines are full of layers as it sounds. Seems like you weren't on that record, but perhaps you could interview those guys on your channel about their parts on that record. Just a suggestion. I think many of us wants to know classics like Man in the mirror, what's used for that bass, etc etc! Such cool records lots of FM sounds going on, or at least that's what i'm hearing in my fantasy!

This album seriously touched my childhood. So this how they did it huh? :)

I can imagine Quincy Jones While you program the synthensizer "Can You Play It Again Anthony?

How did you guys keep the jupiter 8, prophet and synclavier in "sync" though?? These days if I layered multiple synths together to form "one" sound, I would use MIDI. But back then, I'm curious how you guys did it. Thank you! ❤

I'm assuming these were just layers that were added to the track. There wouldn't have been any "sync", as it was all played, likely one at a time. No different than the horns that were added to that part as well.

@@MiddleMalcolm You mean, they overdubbed the components? To make the single sound?? Hmmm. Doubt it. I can see the live brass they had no choice, but the synths has some CV or some sort of sync. Just my opinion.
