- In this video Anthony shares how to make any imaginable kick drum sound on his Tonus Arp 2600.
Anthony's musical touch as both composer and performer is connected with some of the most influential creative minds over the last 40 years. He’s composed and conducted original orchestral scores for over 80 feature films including Young Guns, Internal Affairs, The Man From Elysian Fields, 15 Minutes and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, been commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic for his symphonic work "In the Family Way", written over one thousand TV commercials in a myriad of musical styles, co-founded Levels Audio Post (LA's premiere post production facility) and performed and arranged on big-box-office films and influential hit records such as Michael Jackson's Thriller.
His extensive work as a young arranger, orchestrator and performer for Quincy Jones, Jack Nitzsche, Lamont Dozier, Arthur Rubenstein and Giorgio Moroder was vital in launching his own career. His early years pioneering modular analog synthesizers along with his wide-ranging music scholarship positioned Anthony at the center of the music technology revolution. He attended the University of Southern California School of Music as a piano and composition major.

It's evident that this master programmed so many patches in a "musical content" unlike the most of the other wannabee synth TH-camrs, i feel like i'm watching a 5 star michelin chef giving a tutorial about how to chop onions. Thanks for sharing.
That's exactly what you are seeing. Except it's the top chef that all of the other top Michelin chefs trained under.
Thing is he’s literally sitting there explaining every minute detail and nuance of the synthesizers frequencies to create those sounds. That is the sign of a true Grand Master.
These wanna be’s and rookies just play sounds and move sliders without really understanding the process but will talk as though they really know what they’re doing.
This man understands the science of sound design and how to precisely get what he needs out of a synthesizer. That’s the difference in skill level when you’re watching a seasoned veteran that isn’t just pushing sliders and twisting knobs but moving them for a specific reason.
I wish I could one day have such an ability but I myself am just a slider pusher.
It's not that hard to understand the whole circuit and the techincalities and frequencys in the 2600. Actually.
What Anthony has is ears and experience.
@@jae6220 Jesus relax. Plenty other youtubers understand sound design as well and can teach you how to make a kick from scratch.
@@beat-maker7361 sound designer that worked on Thriller the best selling album of all time > some random nobody TH-camr in their bedroom.
I mean THIS is the kind of person ANYONE should learn from. A proper legend of music. Not some 18 year old influencer. great work Anthony! You should make a workshop class. Id attend it!
BIG facts
There are 18 year olds out there making better music than you ever will 🙂
He forgot anthony himself was around 22 when he produced the beats for “thriller” 😃
I agree :)
There are a lot of really talented young people out there. But tbh can’t have the experience of this man. Not saying they don’t have any experience..some people are just naturally gifted and have the knack like natural born talent..so they got a head start to begin with, but when it comes to the wisdom of musical arrangement when you clearly started with the gift…I mean decades of musical wisdom you can’t beat it.. no pun haha😅
I don’t think even naturally gifted people can naturally know everything, I think there are certain things you can only learn by experimentation and working with music for a long time.
I was working on a synth drums bank with my Roland JU-06A last week, and today’s my birthday….. makes sense! Thank you Master of the Synths!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
His calm attitude shows he already did everything we can imagine. Thank you for the class, Boss.
Those were the cleanest kicks I’ve heard. You should make a sample pack of processed kicks mixed through all that gear you have. I would definitely buy it and have it in my top sample packs
the 2600.... bruh gimme all that stuff ill throw all my elektron set up into the garbage (apart my moog's )
*** seems modded too ....
*** and i do not talk about the garfield , pedals and synths behind his back ....
This channel is getting better and better. Many thanks maestro!
Another priceless tutorial by the master himself! Thanks, Anthony!
@anthonymarinelli...You're truly a walking treasure and wealth of infinite knowledge sir.
🙌🏾💎💡❤️
Literally ran through every kick drum sound ever on 1 synth in under 7 minutes.
Nice to see the ARP making kick sounds. Vince Clarke also used to create his own kicks with the System 700. You can get a more personal sound creating your own sounds rather than using stock library samples.
But also if you aren't tweaking and stacking your drum sounds from your sound libraries then what are you doing anyway
I would love for you do demo what that Sherman Filter II can do with drums (for the sake of those who haven't heard just how beautiful and complex it can be).
Wonderful tutorial! There's a good reason you were part of those successful albums. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Another master class from a legend many didnt even know about until this channel dropped on TH-cam. I would love to see how the bass was done on "Wanna Be Starting Something". Another killer groove on Thriller.
Okay so I’m seriously considering buying an ARP 2600 after watching your videos! Loving the sounds and flow of it! Thanks for sharing
Oh My Gosh! It doesn’t get any better than this. Priceless info 🤯
Great! That sounds like it could also be useful for amazing 808 bass sounds.
I have been taking a digital sound synthesis class at my college and your channel has been a huge help understanding the practical applications and practices on hardware. I use VCV Rack for everything I do right now, but I would love a classic analog synth at some point.
Wow. You have just totally deconstructed not just electronic drums but also what makes a real drum sound. The minute you added white noise it went from electronic to real. Incredible. Watching the whole thing again now...
Wow as you changed the tone of the kick it sounded like various techno and house albums I've heard over the years. I wish I had that setup
I've learned more about synths in one 6:30 video than any other resources out there! So glad I cam across and subscribed to Anthony's channel - absolute gold.
you're not really looking are you?
@@SynderNOfficial well…if you can find a better teacher than the man that programmed the synths on the greatest album in music history let me know.
Thank you Anthony! - John
I learn something new on every one of these videos. Thank you so much Maestro Anthony!
I am currently programming an Analog Drum patch on the Empress Zoia, and this was super helpful. 👌
Thank you very much for inspiring us. Showing this on a semi modular synth shows the „how“ and makes it easy to replicate your approach on many different systems. 👍
❤ from Burundi 🇧🇮. You're amazing 👏
That’s great! 👍 I often miss or helpless searching for good Tom Sounds…. I’ve got a Moog 15 on my iPad. Now I’m satisfied!🎉
This is amazing - thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Always love watching your videos. You’re a legend. So informative. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Anthony for giving us access to your knowledge, this channel is the best I’ve watched, pure gold !!
i will definitely be sticking around i love seeing all these tips and stuff.
omggggggg your channel is amazing. Anthony, you are such a blessing to us!! Thank you for gifting us with your knowledge!
That was awesome! Mind-blowingly amazing! Thanks for sharing this
Sir, you are amazing. Thank you for passing on your great knowledge. 🙏🙏
Thanks, Anthony! Great tips for both beginners and experienced musicians.
Congratulations on your knowledge! Fantastic demonstration!
I am SO glad I found you, really loving your content. THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom w/ us!
Thankful for your channel. We need more videos like this that show real synthesis!
Yoooo, That was a great example. Thank you. 💯
excellent and super clear explanation, thanks! so many great kick sounds in this video
you are amazing., thank you Anthony!
I was looking for a resource on creating drum sounds on the 2600 months ago. Thank you for this and explaining the theory behind how to construct the sound. The amount of flexibility that you have when doing it this way is jaw dropping.
a legend sharing knowledge. thanks Anthony
Masterful, thank you!
Simply amazing.
So helpful! Thanks for this.
So many excellent videos multiple times per week! 👍
I'm incredibly thankful for your guide to Kicks here. I'm trying to design a way to make kicks through synthesis within my DAW and a lot of people just push specific software to make basic kicks. What I want to do Is edit these core values on the fly with automation within the DAW and this was the deep knowledge that I needed to get me on designing it. Thank you.
Those earth quaking low frequencies from the 2600 still are true balm for the ears.
anthony you are a living legend and a real goldmine for us
in late 90's i used to make the same with cs5 .the chain was cs5 ,alesis 3630 compressor and the akai s900 sampler.i tried last week the same with beri ms1 with very good results. god bless
I could hear that car kick on my phone. Good stuff thanks.
Excellent! Thanks for the clarity. Subbed
I use hardware synths and already know how to synthesize drum sounds, but this quick demo was right up my alley, especially in terms of concise communication to someone who isn't a beginner. I've been doing this to create samples with all of my synths lately and it's super fun. It has shown me how some synths are harder to get certain drum sounds on. After watching this I think I'm going to revisit the Arp Odyssey! Thanks again.
It also helps if your synths envelope generator is not sluggish in the attack. Preferably an envelope generator with an exponential slope and not linear (meaning the attack will initially raise much quicker). FM and ring modulation can also be beneficial for drums sounds in general (more for the sounds with more high frequency content in them).
Break it down to the core. Going to go experiment with patching this on my microfreak. Ty for the vid
Great video! When making kicks on 2600 style synths I'm generally running the kick into the pre-amp prior to the output mixer for extra saturation. Audio-rate mod of the filter can add some spice to these type of sounds as well.
great stuff! More on designing house kicks please!
Its insane how many of you come here like vultures, consume the knowledge and not even like the mans video. Keep it up Anthony!!! I like before i even watch and your channel is an everyday for me. I dont watch tv and barely stream anything. 🧡🧡🧡🙏🙏🙏🫡🫡🫡🖖🏾 Ive also started digging into my 2600 since discovering your channel. Its a beast to say the least.
Sick. Now I want a 2600 more than ever. I know any synth can do it but it looks like so much fun on the Arp.
Great video, thanks :) I believe all the kick drums on Depeche Mode´s Speak and spell album was made with Daniel Miller´s ARP2600.
Can't wait!
Great content master Anthony
Great content! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing. Your videos are amazing.
that 808 was mad
So sick, he broke it down perfectly
Excellent, cheers! 👍👍👍
Love these - keep it up!!!!
Thanks again man, this is great, thanks for the knowledge 👍
Thanks a lot for the vid Tonysan!
proper legend. thanks for sharing!
beautiful video as always there really were alot of flavors here
Esto es oro puro, gracias amigo saludos desde la tierra del taco 🌮 México 🇲🇽❤️!!!
Thank for sharing Master ❤🇧🇷
Great stuff. Thank you very much.
Bro, you are literally Jackson instrumentation 🤣 SICK!!! 🔥
Other synth TH-camrs (salesmen) just sad compared to Anthony. Gotta come to this channel for the real knowledge. But who wants that anyway? People just want to be sold the dream. I hope he can grow his channel for the enthusiasts. 🇮🇹♥️
Thanks for all these videos you've been uploading! 🙏🏼 I'd love to see you recreate some of Dr. Dre's g funk lead sounds sometime if possible.
Yeah it will be nice
this guy did it on a Moog Grandmother, may be enough v=_oiIwEWEFcs
very cool tutorial!
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Bleeding cool factor 😎
Whaou Snd Design!🎶💯🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love you so much you are a blessing❤ 💯💯💯🎙️🎼🎶🔥🔥🔥
what a legend
que buenos videos, no se hablar y escribir ingles pero lo entiendo a la perfeccion, muchas gracias por tus videos!!!!
Sharing is caring! Thank you so much
This technique can be applied to things in Ableton or even to samples on something like Digitakt; its really about applying the envelope to a sound source.
For Ableton, consider doing exactly this same technique with a raw square or triangle with an envelope.
I'm mostly using a Moog DFAM but this also still applies to add even more crazy to it.
Thank you for all the tips! I love Tremmor2 on VCV rack 2, maybe a little tip demo for hihats in the future would also be great! Cheers !
Very good video. I was wondering if you could explain in deep the modulation on synths? Like AM, FM, Ring modulation, etc. Thank you 🙏🏻
Update: I tried it on my JU-06a (which unfortunately doesn’t have triangle or sine, so let’s sub-square it!), with the noise trick… oh my god it WORKS!!!! Thanks again!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The other problem was that this synth doesn’t modulate the pitch with the envelope, so I tricked it by using a sawtooth wave on the LFO modulating the pitch, it does the trick (as limited as it is, you gotta set the release of the sound to match the end of the descending saw LFO but anyway.) thanks again!!!
Ive been experimenting like this and was quite pleased with myself when I got a low conga pitched an octave down then pitch bent down quickly after the initial attack on my RX7 to get a kick drum that’s punchier than the actual kick sounds so it almost sounds like an 909
Great video! I’d love to see a video of some custom patches or go-to sounds from that Jupiter behind you !
Legend
This is great! Gonna try it on my ARP2600 tonight! I remember Giorgio Moroder saying he couldn't get a good kick drum from his Moog/ARP when making I Feel Love so he used a real drummer for that back in the day... so it's somewhat surprising how quick you were able to dial it in! Nice job... love it. Would also be interesting to hear how you go about snares...
This man is a synth wizard
awesome!! I was wondering if you could do some snarky puppy synth sounds? I personally love the synth lead in "thing of gold" Great content man!
What i love about modern software is that you can zoom in on the wave file and just normalise the attack of the kickdrum however you'd like, no need for compression or limiting or transient designers, when you can control it yourself exactly how you want! The impact of a kickdrum is very important, and the duration of the highend energy aswell! Bad Kicksamples tend to have less highend duration. Cause that's what cuts tru the mix in the end "the noise" on the top of the oumph. You need at least 15milliseconds of noise highend layered into your lowend sample. If we are talking a modern kickdrum sound, that is!
Experimenting with sharp high-hat sounds, or long reverb tails or equed white-noise reverb tails is a good place to start, and using a spectrum analyzer is a must to study the curve of good samples! It's actually quite funny creating your own kicksamples from scratch once you start doing it. I was obsessed some years ago! VST BazzISM is greate for that lowend fundamental!
When you listen at the set of drum samples available in Ableton, you can definitely tell that some where generated by this method. This method is pretty cool, because you can customize your drums to your style of music =)
I did play it back on some big speakers. I can hear it.
Now I want to create m own Kick with my analog synth instead of using the one from my drum machine. Thanks for this video!
thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills, sonic kung fu teacher 🙏🏽
Daniel miller used the 2600 for kick on the 1st depeche mode album, such a great sound
