- I heard about this song just recently due to an interview with Thundercat about his favorite basslines. He named this one pretty fast and i was instantly hooked by the arrangement which feels kind of like a dialogue between Keyboard Bass and Keyboard Synthie. The transcription was not that hard but to play these staccato bass lines 100% tight through the whole song is on another level of difficulty ... Have fun with the transcription!

Von diesem Song habe ich erst vor kurzem durch ein Interview mit Thundercat erfahren. Thema waren seine ‚Favorite Bass Lines‘ und ziemlich am Anfang nannte er You are in my system von The System aus dem Jahr 1983. Der Großteil des Songs besteht eigentlich nur aus einem Dialog zwischen Moog Bass und Keyboard Synthie. Hinzu kommt ein 40-Sekunden Intro, eine krude Bridge in 3/4 und harter 80ies Electro Flair. Ich hab es direkt gefeiert.
Die Transkription ging recht fix aber diese Stakkato 16tel Bässe mit großen Intervallsprüngen sind nicht einfach zu spielen wenn das Timing immer genau auf den Punkt sein soll. Heutzutage würde man das eher sloppy mit Midi einspielen und dann quantisieren, fertig, aber dann wäre man in einer Live Situation ja verloren! Also habe ich es recht lange geübt … ;-)
Monster of a bassline
David Frank , great keyboard player & arranger ! Groundbreaking synths in th 80's and early 90's
Impressive..most impressive. I always understood that this tune was achieved by layering...yet it is fascinating to see the backbone of this piece. Your technique is flawless. Music is a language,no doubt...and you speak it fluently. thanks for the overview....very nice.
Thanks Edward, you're right with the layering. In the end i combined several motifs to achieve one consistent 'bassline'.
David Frank IS a Boss! My fav Synth-Funk band Ever Ever EVER! Still bump them regularly & Mic's lyrics & vocals are unmatched. #MUSIC
Rob u nailed this Thank You
I saw that Thundercat video recently too! It brought back memories of this awesome song and now you've done the same. Good job with this transcription; you consolidate the bass line beautifully.
Thanks so much for this - its a fantastic performance and transcription. Your live playing timing accuracy is awesome!
Thank you for this transcription. No need to apologize your staccato. The studio version was sequenced and quantized. However, David Frank does play the bass line live and is a beast on an entirely different level
Hello, what did David Frank say about it, was it sequenced and quantized?
Thank you - very tight and precise.
Very nice job 👍🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿
Oh mein Gott, einer meiner Lieblingstitel aus den 80-ern...für mich als Bass-Opa sehr erfrischend. DANKE DIR !!!
hi you are great on the key board
God tier bassline.
The System were on fire back in the day. Don't disturb this groove is one of my all time favourite tracks. Glad you're getting to feel it. You listening to Jeff Lorber? You might like him.
This has always been one of my favorites of all time. Great to see the actual transcription of it
Great!!!!
ty for posting this!!!!!
Nice ❤️
Very nice. Thanks for the notation. Now I can learn this on my bass guitar!
Nice.
What oscillators? square wave. What's the configuration?
Spot on !!!
Wow
Well done
Hot
Is there a way u can send the midi file to the bass line , id pay,
nice !! i think there's actually two takes for the C/F Eb part ... but you're reduction sounds great ! thanks :)
Yeah you are totally right, it's more of a dialogue between the bass synth and a more midrange/upperrange synth. I dont know, if its possible to play both parts together, at least not for me, so i tried to combine both in one bass part.
Always have been obsessed with this riff, now I got my own key board I might try here
Nailed it👍🍺
So good!
Perfection.
I NEED THAT KEYBOARD
The chorus is difficult. I had always thought he used sequencers for everything.
hey sehr sehr geil! hab den Song durch die Playlist von Drall Freeman entdeckt.. Verrät du mir deine Einstellung am Little Patty? hab den nämlich auch.. ;-)
Hey Korbinian, puh wenn ich das wüsste, ich habe auf jedenfall auch die Library von Darryl und habe einen seiner Sounds als Ausgangsbasis genommen.
Plot twist! We are watching him play Rock Band 2024 beta test on hard mode!
