This is wonderful! More, more, more!

To get great analog synth bass sounds with pedals, I used an EHX Octave Multiplexer going into a EHX Q-Tron. The manual actually suggests this combo for synth bass. Plus, it's affordable

Really wonderful.

More of this please!

Thanks Janek. Good vid!

Really enjoyed!!!👍👍😀😀

Love this

Not a week since the release of his Opus Magnum on jazz soli transcriptions this pops up where he rocks 3 note riffs brought to the forefront from what used to be just some hiss in loops behind classical inspired melodies. Not to forget he made his name in fusion world. This man is the Janek of all trades

Chaotic Janek

Coffe and drinks in the house! Janek is The most complete bassist in the music scene.

Bloody love Janek! What fun?! So cool! 😁👍👊😎

FUN!!!

I've been wanting to get an electric taishogoto exactly for this purpose.

Nice surprise to wake up to. Love Janek!

I think you were looking for Devo - Whip it...very cool music and effects.

No he means ‘Let it Whip’.He said Dazz band just after.Devo’s whip it is a belting track,but this is the track he means 👍🏻 kzread.info/dash/bejne/nneZz8yNcdqdmZM.html

@@jumboshrimp5193 this man mastered the instrument. He basically pioneered the bass fart synth tones on bass. His pinky could give you the one inch death punch. When you are dead nobody is gonna Care about jumbo shrimp but Janek has put a good stamp on the bass community. Bubba gump shrimp tossed you back in the ocean for a reason.

"I just felt the neck move!.. that's not good.." oh no!

He’s a legend ☝️

That is a nice filter. Would love to hear him with a dirt box and all the Meris and Chase Bliss stuff.

This guy is awesome!!!!!!

6:25 Killing Joke - Requiem.

Chorus can help. Some old multi-FX pedals (e.g. Boss ME-6B) could be used to create some great sounds.

The ME-6B was allegedly used by Stuart Zender to create some synth sounds with Jamiroquai, but I've seen varying opinions on whether it was used anything other than live.

Distortion and oscillators both add upper harmonic content, but it can get a bit too raspy. EQ and speaker simulators can take the edge off, but chorus and flanging can also smooth things out.

Useful tools can include a compressor at the front of the signal chain (standard use) but also at the back end to limit resonant peaks from the operation of filters.

Another useful tool is a blend, so you can put some of the original signal back in, assuming you aren't using a Boss OC-2 with no direct. It can ensure that filters, distortion, chorus, leave some bass signal in there, and if filters are not tracking well it's a godsend as any unexpected farty drop outs are somewhat covered by some fundamental.

Rotary speaker simulation can be fun with distortion, but can head more towards organ sounds than synth.

Totes reminds me of a better Gristle-iser Throbbing Gristle used on a bunch of stuff. This is super inspiring and I am going to try to do this with terrible Chinese knock off clone pedals. Peace love and pitbulls

Boss Sy1?...

Somebody get this boy a moog synthesizer ASAP

3:30 - Let It Whip by the Dazz Band: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXlrj9aQdajLmrg.html I couldn't read from this video where that bass line is coming from, to be honest. He's right about the sound.

Not to mock, but by the time you've put together a pedalboard like that, you've probably laid out the same money as for a small Moog, and the pedalboard probably doesn't weigh a whole lot less. That's probably $4,000 in pedals alone. Each one of those four Iron Ether pedals normally runs over $400.

You can obtain synths that will sound enough like a Moog for live work for a lot less these days. However, it comes down to interfaces to some extent - if you can't play keys the Moog won't help. A Moog will trigger reliably, though. If you get it set up right, a GK-3B to trigger MIDI can be an option for slower lines (latency) and should track well, but quite possibly a Boss GP-10 or similar might be more reliable for bass synth sounds as there's much less chance of some MIDI note being left on for half a song... I've never used the GP-10, but videos suggest it should work. I have gone down the MIDI rabbit hole with various hardware and software, though.

Well, they were some very groovy sounds. Me very likely. I've been thinking recently about getting a bass, and now I know that a bass can sound Moog-y I have an extra reason to get one.

+1 for a bassface tutorial with this guy

Is that one of those medium-scale Japanese Jazz basses?

Between Janek's bass stuff and the modular synth stuff on this channel, I have enough GAS to last a lifetime, basically.

Oh fuck yeah Janek is the dopest
