What synth and how was used on the bass of Just an Illusion - Imagination

 

At your risk.

This information comes directly from the blog of  producer Tony Swain:

Hi Frankie

There has been much speculation about this subject but as I also played and recorded the bass lines it is time to put the record straight!

The Bass was played using an early Roland SH1000 made in the late 70's This was originally designed to sit on top of a Hammond organ so it looked like one! This was a monophonic synth but would play two octaves at once so using a combination
of square and sine waves an octave apart combined with a lot of wrestling with a portamento switch to get the slides this is how the bass lines were done. No sequencer was used at all on the bass lines just a lot of sweat and keeping time which was helped by me also being a drummer! The synth was recorded through a Boss chorus guitar pedal (blue type) and then compressed a lot through a studio DBX160 a really great vintage compressor.The bass was very high in the mix but cut through because of the compression and the split octaves. Just an illusion bass was the best of two different lines recorded over two days on Analogue 24tk before digital came in.
I hope this finally answers the question.
Best
Tony

Hand Making Cocoa Powder

Update on the Pleiades Meal

At your risk. This is not a medical or nutritionist advice.

Instead of cocoa powder , using vanilla powder (very expensive but not much is needed.

So the meal is crushed oat flakes, 

adding water,

adding a spoonful  of wholegrain tahini,

adding less than a spoonful of vanilla,

adding pieces from one royal date.

It is very tasty, nutritional, and very simple and quick to make.

It takes about 2 minutes to be prepared.
