The best synthesiser oriented bromance on RUclips. Please keep making more joint videos.
Absolutely!
Bromance is for me the first time to hear and it's a way better expression then "Bro" that's heavily used in certain scenes 🙏🏼✌🏼 It made me laugh 😂
Kool & The Gang knew exactly what they were doing when they made this very beautiful classic!! The synth and the solo was epic!
The dynamic duo sharing their vast knowledge - much enjoyed!
This channel is my church, this is where I come to receive my word.
Doctor Mix and Professor Marinelli laying down some mad knowledge and keeping us entertained!
I love Doctor Mix enthusiasm in showing us how to construct tracks. Mr Maranelli has taught me so, so very much on how to tune a synth for the sounds I need. Both are great to watch. You learn so much from these two. Great stuff 👍
Here's a fan of both of you. In the 80's I used to watch Bob Ross. not because I wanted to paint but because it was relaxing and nice, this is the 2024 version of that to me. I might try doing this with the Arturia version though 🤔
How can one not love these two guys?
Wow, if I had synth lessons from Anthony, I would really learn, he is a great teacher.
I've learned so much about synth programming from watching Anthony's channel. He's so good at explaining things.
When Doctor said "we don't have a 2500. Goodbye." I got an ad lol. Also good vid
Summer Madness always gives me joyful shivers. It’s just soo good.
Synth-Nörds Perfect Team!
It gives me goosebumps in just 1 second.
The single note use is weirdly organic but otherworldly.
Sound has been fundamental to create images, especially synths, they gave us the sound of sci-fi and the sound of the future, the sound of the machines.
Glad to see these cool freaks together
i can listen summer madness for hours. love Dr.Mix's reactions in every video! always been wondering about these space sounds were come from. take my like.
I knew it was an ARP, I'm getting familiar with these synth sounds. 😂
WTF???????????
I see two living legends on a screen thumbnail. Must click. Must play....
....This is going to be good!.... 🔥
The song has such a great groove no changes in the progression were necessary.
At 1:51, Anthony looks at the synth saying "Hey! I know exactly how to reproduce this sound". He then restrained the urge...
Awesome video!
Hey btw there’s an easier way to get those 5 octaves without touching the voltage processor slider. The 2600’s keyboard has 5 C’s. Just tune the oscillators so that the “keyboard C” plays the required note, and there you go. You can play it across 5 octaves. 😎
I sure love it when you guys get together and share so many things!
Gives me goose bumps every time I listen to that sound...even your recreation!!!
I friggin LOVE this! The Doctor and Master AnthonyM together recreating that Kool sound. 👏👍🏼 BRAVO BOYS
Last night I watched this video and I don't know when to sleep ? Those 2 dudes work so hard producing interesting content, that you have to work almost just as hard to keep up with them. They drench in devotion and passion for fashion 💯🙏🏼✌🏼
You are for me, the perfect team, love your works .
Less than 20 minutes but an absolute goldmine of useful practical information! Thanks guys!
Summer Madness it's a state of mind. Epocale!
I remember hearing this on an old tape my mate had. I asked him to play it and play it. What a tune. Never bored of this. Amazing. Thanks for doing this DOC and ANT.
❤ Thanks for this life changing!😊
You Two and music love🎉
Absolute MASTERPIECE ........both classic and futuristic....all instruments have amazing sounds....the mother of all chill out soul music.
Awesome passion. You guys really appreciate the creativity of the analogue design of sound.
Great video. You guys are amazing together!!!!
I love both of these guys so much. Please, please, please keep collabing. I was born too late to really experience the hardware synth era, but it's so interesting to see how these engineers created these crazy sounds.
A pleasure to watch videos like this one! 🎶 🎵 ❤
I am speechless! You guys are the synth dream team :) These two have inspired my synth GAS, but even better... have taught and inspired me to actually use the gear.
Before you can have an open mind, you must listen. This content is more valuable than anything a simple music teacher can provide. (Myself included)
First time summer madness listener, it’s in my playlist now. Thanks DM🙏
It's a classic. Check out "Winter Sadness" by the same group. It's got vocals and is lesser known, but it's nice in its own right.
Love you guys. Keep up the good work!!
I first heard this song in the radio in 1996 when I was 12, not knowing what it was called or who it's by. This is how wonderful the internet is!
Still can I not believe this masterpiece was recorded and released in 1974 - way ahead of its time!
Thanks for these amazing 17 minutes, Claudio!!
this was amazing, thanks both!!
Amazing analysis. I love that song and also how with one note of that amazing 2600 synth sound with the glissando is what made this song. And let's not forget the Rhodes sounds beautifully recorded and those wet guitars are just perfect. Great video!
Claudio, your passion is inspiring!!!! And Tony is the master of eloquence!
Love the conversation! Best synth content on the internet. Keep em coming!
Man, both them tracks yall covered had to be psychedelically induced creations back in the day 😅 they always sounded so surreal and eerie.
Keep ‘em coming! Anthony continues to be one of the few things worth watching…
Everytime i watch you inspire me to head into my synthlab, thank you
What a nice guy Antonelli is! Great video again Claudio!❤
Thoroughly enjoyable, such great content!
I love this synth tag team, masters at work ❤❤❤
Beautiful music you make us discover, thanks.
Thanks to have Anthony with you, he has an open vision of art, like Rick Rubin and Alan Moore, a vision that Art can change the face of the world.
Thanks to you both, to all the "sonicstaters" , to bring all of us further together now.
Regards, respect.
Wooooooow! You guys did it 😄
Nice to see the german single cover from "Get down on it / Summer Madness", great sound exploration. ✌🏻+ ❤
Best! Stokage meets knowledge...perfect synthesis
This was great. Thanks gents.
brilliant sounds
Loved it! Thank you :D
you both are fabulous!
Everything Anthony says in this video proves why analog synths will always be better than digital ones. And he wasn't even trying to prove it. He just makes you reach to this conclusion by yourself. And that's why I consider him to be not only a true master of synthesis, but also a sonic philosopher.
Great video. I've been following it
You two are so good, together. Great video. Enjoyed every second.
To me the ARP 2600 patch has more bite than the original. Like Anthony said, it honks.
Best explanation ever on the sound difference between 2 and 3 oscillators.
🥵🥴 love it, thank you both!
Great you both. 👍🏻
Amazing!
I’ve benefited from this exploration mainly because I didn’t know before June 28, 20204 that this song was originally performed by Kool and the Gang. Like other commenters, it was the Rocky soundtrack that brought it to my attention. I probably thought it came from the mind of film score composer Bill Conti.
I also will tell you that my ear gave me that it was played on an ARP synthesizer, but I did not stop to consider that it might have been the 2500. My logic should have kicked in at the sound of the fifth octave. It might’ve been different if the 2500 had not been eclipsed as of 1975 by the 2600.
I love it when Marinelli makes that point about needing to run from the filter to the attenuator, or else the sound will constantly be on. That is a lesson I learned objectively when I got my own first Arp synthesizer in 2000, the Axxe Mk II. I cranked up the direct output before I figured out how to turn up the VCA output. It was comforting to know this is a feature at least during back to the 2600.
this was awesome
all my afro years of living i thought that song was from grover wash... jr. ... really from katg... great stuff anthony and dr.
This is priceless 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it!
This song is a herald of the arrival of the solstice. Once you hear this summer has arrived.
That was dope !
I enjoyed this! 🙂
I am the right age to have heard this the first time around and it is still amazing.
really cool man, so interesting
Very cool! I remember playing Summer Madness (mixed up a little with Bill Conti's Reflections) on an ARP Odyssey at a festival in Norway about 10 years ago... I think I used the keyboard octave switch to get the top octaves. Might even have started in the lower octave come to think about it.. those 70s keyboard lead sounds are so ingrained in me..
Очень интересное видео 👍♥🎹спасибо 👍♥🎶
The synth sounds that hit me in 1978 were those of Supermax featuring the legendary Kurt Hauenstein. They were artists from Austria and created a phenomenal and timeless album titled 'World of Today'. On the first track is a , big phat synth riff that you cannot, ever unhear. Also in track no. 3 'Reality' there is a square lead sound (surrounded by lush string pads) that plays solo melodies throughout the ballad that rip your heart out. I was just 6 yo at the time, and this album shaped my entire life. I was wondering DM, if you could do an analysis of the synth programming done there. And to anyone in the community reading this, I highly recommend you check out this record. I believe it is a world class hidden gem.
For me, it was the the trio of Wakeman,Wright and Emerson. that instilled my desire to play synths. There were of course many others like Stevie Wonder,Tangerine dream and Isao Tomita, just to name a few.😁🎶🎹🎶 Play On
Thanks so much 🙏🏽🛐
lovely
Fun AND Educational. 😍
When Kool Gang preformed this live they used a miniMOOG as far as I've seen. "ronald bell on keys"
EXTRODINARY!
That sound has so much core
Just banged 2 detuned sawtooths & some chorus & legato portamento on my Korg & got pretty much a bang-on sound!
If it's a 49-note keyboard what's to stop you transposing the oscillators down a minor 3rd so you can play the 5th note?
Loved kool and the gang ❤
So freaking cooool ❤️❤️✌️
Nice !!!!
And the 80s/90s generations mostly know it from:
Drums please!
Summer, summer, summertime 🌞
was about to say the same - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince is those who don’t know
It's funny how Mr Marinelli is responsible for some of these life changing sounds himself 😎
Also love the Will Smith / Fresh Prince “summertime” version of this part, with volume sliding :-)
You two complement each other like mozzarella and fungi. Tasty pizza, guys!
🔥 TUNE 🔥
Thanks so much for the syntherial moments!👏🏻👋🏼 Could you also analyse Magic Fly from SPACE one time?💙👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼👋🏼🧿
🔥
I would love to see you reacting to „Rah Band“ The Crunch & Beyond.
Such a special synth album.
This is why i write songs and sing, LOL. I love nerding out with these two but I just can't go there when I'm working on a song.
Brilliant Maestro Bros, how far ahead of time, sound and technology were the Legends who put that together for Kool and the Gang?
Some of those voltage adjustments froze my brain.
These have been interesting choices. They aren't super showy like you said but none the less are somehow more than the sum of their parts when in context.
Also interesting if this was 2500, most people assume it's 2600, Ive not found any elaboration on the recording.
