Video clip of my Mk II suitcase & minimoog

I just took delivery of my new Moog voyager, and decided to do a short clip alongside my trusty Rhodes.  The Rhodes/Moog combo is tough to beat!

Yeah I did new tolex/grille cloth last year, and recently hit the lid with some new paint.

Hi Carver,

Thanks for the reply on my topic.

I started to work with music software 2 weeks ago, borrowed a MIDI keyboard from a friend, and I'm in love with a Moog VST (Minimonsta, not the real thing, of course, but very, very good). Loved your video, your Rhodes tone reminds me a bit of Jamiroquai and Bob James, very nice. What's your recording setup?

[Dan Belcher]

Damn. That's awesome. Great playing, great Rhodes tone, funky Moog sounds. Love it!

Thanks for the kind words...I'm glad you guys dig it.  

The melody that repeats throughout is from a tune on a solo project I'm releasing later this year (pardon the shameless plug!).  So keep an eye out for it.

Miguel:  I love your tone/playing.  I'd really like to hear a bit more.

I've tried to keep my setup simple, as outboard gear tends to vary quite a bit from session to session.  Right now, I'm running it in stereo out of a Speakeasy power unit, into my pedalboard, which has my go-to effects (Chorus, Phase, delay, OD, and reverb). I also run a Wampler compressor at its lowest setting at the beginning of the chain.  Form there, it goes straight into protools with a small amount of Eq. and thats it.  For this video, I also had a crybaby in the effects loop, but only engaged it when I wanted the wah.  99% of the tone is in the voicing/setup, which for me is a never-ending search.  Right now, I'm going for a more fundamental tone, with lots of attack and minimal "bell" tone.
