As soon as he started with that talk box I was transported into a land of funky where the trees danced and sang and the ground was made of colors. There I hung out until morning with George Clinton and Bootsie Collins. Funkadelic.
I can smell the funk through my phone, my head didn’t stop bobbing the entire song. I remember seeing this video about 10 years ago and it still sounds just as good as it did then.
Listen to the bands magic beans or octave cat .SEE THEM LIVE WHEREVER YOU CAN. This funky music exists. You gotta ask the right wizards and take the right side quests ;) also the Floozies are amazing
I'm a Rock and Blues guitarist, and I'm not much into keyboards. . . or this style of music, but this guy's chops are so wicked I can't help but be impressed! I was just looking at various Talk Boxes and ended up here. Geez, this guy is fantastic!
It's been more than ten years since the first time I watched this video, and you are still the one who crosses my mind when I think of talkbox. And today I knew that you were a bass player through the comment on other video.
My god the real music is back. Kick it. I just can't sitt too this funky music. Goosebumps all over. We want more. Can you do a five minute jam sir. It's like God sent you down to let people dance and enjoy some great talkbox funk.
mixed opinion, i really like autotune, it was just over-used for a year or three, so people got fatigued. sort of like disco, disco can be cool, but it was everything 78 -81, people didnt want any more of it
@nujttabutta1 thanks man, I grew up in NY state but I'm on the west coast now in Portland. I bass bass, guitar, and some drums too, got a couple of groups here I'm playing with right now like Excellent Gentlemen and Tony Ozier and the Doo Doo Funk All Stars, doing talkbox on the road with Juno What?! and trying to stay busy with music. Glad you like it bro!
yo Swatkins! about three years ago, my tech teacher showed me ur grooves and it like proper inspired me to play funk synth, so basically, cheers dude!!
just letting you, my friend found this video, you are funky as all hell. excellent gentlemen are going to be played tonight on our radio show without a doubt.
@Gigler43 build your own patch with a saw wave form, open filter no resonance, little bit of portamento. For that vocal vibrato on the mod wheel, you want to set your lfo destination to pitch and source to the bottom left triangle wave. Adjust amount and rate so that when the mod wheel is all the way up it gives a gentle vibrato mimicking vocals. Put your pitch bend range at a whole step for guitar bends. Good luck
Finally some funky action music! Searching RUclips for exiting keyboard music I've found a lot of "knob twiddlers" letting the machine drone on and on as they constantly adjust their little knobs, never hitting any keys. You're creating actual MUSIC with your gear, congratulations!
mannn everytime bruh...your videos are soo funkin siiiiick. youre literally my HERO. your smooth old skool funky style on keys is literally what dreams are made of. the reason i still practice even when im not feelin it is cause i dream about sitting at my keyboard one day & bein able to do what u do...& hopefully sometime in this lifetime. im not giving up! lol 💖💖💖
Brother, I'm overflowing with thanks for your kindness. My talkbox patch is something I tweaked and modified out of one of the presets. Synced oscillators, saw wave, open filter frequency with low resonance, little bit of glide. The pitch wheel is a whole step bend and the mod wheel is a light vibrato for that vocal "Roger" sound.
for that vocal vibrato, you want to set your lfo destination to pitch and source to the bottom left triangle wave. Adjust amount and rate so that when the mod wheel is all the way up it gives a gentle vibrato mimicking vocals.
Same deal as I described above. Monophonic saw patch, open filter, light portamento. I've programmed an MS2000 before and it can DEFINITELY do a great talkbox patch.
I picked up the Banshee because it's the easiest talkbox to use in a gigging situation. No need for separate amplified power supply, and an easy foot-stomp bypass. I know the sound would be better if I used a higher end talkbox. Look for the Excellent Gentlemen CD next month.
Dope.. I use the Banshee with a Voyager... I can't wait to rip it like you do though.. We actually just moved to your hood in PDX!! Moogers unite - We are the Volt per Octaves !

I know I might be a little late, but do you need any medical attention sir?
@@Sposep xD
*Bootsy
this shit just cured my flu. bless you sir.
I just imagine Roger Troutman spinning in a circle, stopping abruptly, pointing his finger like a gun and saying..."Now that's some funky ass shit"
I don’t, because that’s the most cringe white boy imagined thing in the world.
@@elephantgrass631 oh I forgot white people can't listen to funk.
@@AN-jz3px No, only YOU can't listen to funk. White people can't dance.
I love how he finishes so nonchalant ... As if he didn't just out-funk the entire human race!
Thanks man! I've had the pleasure to share the stage with Bernie and I've recorded on tracks with Bootsy, too. Those guys are the originators!
Swatkins where you at...put an album together with cuts like this
I can smell the funk through my phone, my head didn’t stop bobbing the entire song. I remember seeing this video about 10 years ago and it still sounds just as good as it did then.
Same. I've watched this so many times over the years and it still gets me in the good places.
2008 and this still sounds more gangsta than the shit poppin in 2019 imo lol
And 2020
2008 and this shit still sounds more gangsta than the shit poppin in 2021 imo lol
For real !

Listen to the bands magic beans or octave cat .SEE THEM LIVE WHEREVER YOU CAN. This funky music exists. You gotta ask the right wizards and take the right side quests ;) also the Floozies are amazing
that trick at 1:30 kills me every time sooooo funky and good
I remember this video every few months and come back to it to make me smile, thank you Swatkins.🙂
12 years later and this still slaps
I'm a Rock and Blues guitarist, and I'm not much into keyboards. . . or this style of music, but this guy's chops are so wicked I can't help but be impressed!
I was just looking at various Talk Boxes and ended up here. Geez, this guy is fantastic!
This is the best talkbox video
Man, I could listen to this for days...
this white dude must have grown up in my hood in DA hood . his funk is proof we are all the same !!!!!!!!!!!
It's been more than ten years since the first time I watched this video, and you are still the one who crosses my mind when I think of talkbox. And today I knew that you were a bass player through the comment on other video.
13 years later still funky freaking greatness
Roger Troutman just smiled at you playing, bro. HS
man thank u wow 🤩
Yup, bass was done on the Moog LP, drums sequenced in Ableton Live, guitar and Rhodes tracked live right into the program.
That was so funkin’ good!
The fact that tis hit in 2008 is so epic...I can not even begin to explain...
I had no idea what RUclips was, but I bought a talkbox and started to get good at it and wanted to share that joy with the world.
PLEASEEEE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY
'Ole Stevie Wonder would be proud.
Sony Kroket
Wait till he sees this
Roger, and prince too... Sticky wet funk... Funk is alive!😎😉
You funk those keys like a god
Says a Saxa-ma-fome rockin Clinton entering stage left
This is by far my favorite talkbox video hands down. So good!!
You know if Rodger from Zapp ever got sick you could fill in for him... good job
+Bob Vicars I dont think he has to worry about getting sick anymore
That's right hey did die. Gun shot I believe..That's a shame

You really can’t judge a book buy it’s cover!!!!! This brother here is All Good!!!!! All Love!!!!!
My god the real music is back. Kick it. I just can't sitt too this funky music. Goosebumps all over. We want more. Can you do a five minute jam sir. It's like God sent you down to let people dance and enjoy some great talkbox funk.
Been coming back to this clip for years, just started playing drums and I use this video to hype myself up for when I'll be able to shred someday :)
been checking this video periodically for 5 years and i still cant handle the funk
That's that well-done, but still extra rare FUNK
Dang thats some funk that'll get the pets in my house dancing.
Now that's how you play a Moog synth.
I want to see more about the talkbox! This was awesome, very late 80s/early 90s!
Man you're so awesome that you still reply to comments on a video that's like 9 years old. Good to know you're still around!
VSafaryan 🤗
Roger and Zapp baby! Yes!! This is giving me Zapp funk. Very talented
12 years and still love this video
Again here, 12 years later :') best moog video ever
And now it’s 13 ✌️😎

I love me some Steveland!
After watching this numerous times and watching the original, my personal opinion? I like this much much better! Cool as!
I wasn't expecting this level of funkyness holy shiiiit

Just can't stop listening your version... This is F***ING Groovy !! Lov It!
Wow, you have some serious talent. Damn look at those fingers go! I wish I could do that :D Great job!
Finally some funky action music! Searching RUclips for exiting keyboard music I've found a lot of "knob twiddlers" letting the machine drone on and on as they constantly adjust their little knobs, never hitting any keys. You're creating actual MUSIC with your gear, congratulations!
Piano is my favorite instrument. In all it's forms. It is the most versatile.

I can't handle this funk!!!! More please.
Sounds sick man! The bassline sounds like something from a megadrive game though haha. Pure funk expression in the lead though I'm all over it...

man you were born to do this, seriously
I love the tone you got on Get Down Baby. It's my fav talkbox song!
Foking awesome! I love the talkbox. Wish I could get one.
man i never knew how good this was for your... soul..
Thank you Chive, for bringing me here
Yo!!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!! It's about time that some1 should bring back that g-funk sound 4real!
Same deal as I described above.
Monophonic saw patch, open filter, light portamento.
I've programmed an MS2000 before and it can DEFINITELY do a great talkbox patch.
simply beautiful
This man is damn legit for a lot of reasons- You can now see him with Allen Stone !
My RHTBF!! Love it, LOVE IT!!
Talkbox is so cool!!!
Holy Roger Troutman, Batman! Very badass my man.
TRAUTMAN LIVES.. kind of. hehe but those keyboard runs were tight.
Great Talkbox Demonstration! Took a bit to find a good one!
the problem is that this was 8 years ago so i can only imagine how sick his new shit is. 😩😩😩😩😩
Any ear buds/earphones plugged into a noisy radio blasting out FM hiss or AM buzz then put between lips will work as a talk box also
Love this. Just listened to it for the hundredth time im guessing. still slaps and always will. rock on brother thanks for making awesome music!!
Absolutely tearin it up! Please make more videos
Amazing sound
I picked up the Banshee because it's the easiest talkbox to use in a gigging situation. No need for separate amplified power supply, and an easy foot-stomp bypass.
I know the sound would be better if I used a higher end talkbox.
Look for the Excellent Gentlemen CD next month.
This is most excellent
Dope.. I use the Banshee with a Voyager... I can't wait to rip it like you do though.. We actually just moved to your hood in PDX!! Moogers unite - We are the Volt per Octaves !
tooo gooooood man , loved it loved it loved it !!!!!!! can u pls tell me , is this song played in a scale ? or more than one ? can name it/them ?
Man... i still dig on this video so hard haha!!! So good bro
All I gotta say is: more, please!
this guy snuck up one me, i honestly was NOT expecting this to be this good! i only came here out of sheer coincidence
holy shit this is awesome! linked from the rhodes forum. absolutely stunning!
@fooloof The bass is from the Moog, I recorded it in a previous pass along with the drums, guitar, and rhodes.
The Akai board quickly became the centerpiece in my little studio setup, thanks for giving me a good deal on it!
Please produce tracks like this, I will buy them.
Your an inspiration brother
So much funk. I love it
how do I say that was awesome and sound really clever
That was great man! Talkboxes are cool and they crack me up. They got a funny sound to it!
