Oh yeah, lots of drummers used drum machines in interesting ways.

Yeah, it’s funny how synthesizers had a bad rap in the ‘70s.

My dad took me to see a Moog demonstration at a local music store in about ‘78. My dad loved all kinds of gee-whiz futurology stuff. He wasn’t a musician but I was.

The guy from Moog had a whole spiel about how people should keep an open mind because Moogs didn’t have a “sound” and that they could sound like anything: a violin or a flute (then he would demonstrate these sounds). Which is hilarious because Moogs never sold in great numbers because of their accuracy at mimicking other instruments; they’re popular specifically for the Moog sound.

I recall reading a story about very early rhythm machines that were made to accompany live musicians and I think there was talk of placing a tariff on such items with the proceeds going to support union musicians.

Ok thanks for the detailed reply! I will trial and error it to perfection!

Can you pls detail the exact method? I’d love to try it. Looks amazing!

I don’t know about elsewhere, but when you get a coke in a glass bottle in California, it’s Mexican coke and it has cane sugar instead of corn syrup and it’s much better.
