In this video I demonstrate how the bass sound on “Billie Jean” from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album is actually 4 different instruments playing at the same time. I’ll show you how I programmed 3 different synthesizer instruments for the album (originally performed by Greg Phillinganes) and the 4th instrument (electric bass guitar originally performed by Luis Johnson) is demonstrated by Ernest Tibbs.
In this series Anthony breaks down some of the most icons synthesizer patches that he programmed for Michael Jackson’s Thriller
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.

I started making Detroit inspired Techno in 1990 when I was a kid living in Scotland. At the time the tuning on old non-DCO analog synths could be kinda terrible. What I'd do is have my Atari play my sequenced midi parts on a DX-21, and since the DX is digital, the tuning is 100% accurate. I'd then set the channel on my analog synths midi to cv converters to the same channel as the DX. This was the quickest way to accurately tune analog synths like a temperamental Roland SH-101 etc by ear. If you had a weird patch on an analog synth with no patch memory, it's kind of a pain to tune the synth properly, using say a Boss chromatic tuner with a signal sent from your desk. By using the DX as a tuning calibration tool, you then realise that the combined sound of the FM and Analog Bass sounds awesome, so you just stick with it. I still think Digital is the best for low bass sounds, because you want that rock solid tuning while the more drifty analog floats on top. I also think the grittier nature of 4-op synths like the DX-100/21 or phase distortion Casio CZ synths gIves the bass a more punchy, aggressive Punk vibe, say compared with a late model DX-7 which sounds a lot more sophisticated.

@@DaveyMulholland Synthesizer players often do this kind of layering, and adding in a P-Bass style bass underneath a synth bassline is a conventional way to fill out the bottom end. Gary Numan was already doing this on Pleasure Principal by this time, but I'm sure it was done by others, probably Post-Punk bands in Manchester in the late 70s, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it as far back as the early 70s or late 60s.

Nowadays, anyone with a DAW doing a cover of Billie Jean would just put a Moog plug in and call it a day. And that's probably why the sound on those classic records can't be matched. So many components. And this is just the source, then came the recording chain, the mastering...so much talent involved.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis layered synths for the bassline of Janet Jackson’s What have you done for me lately.

It might've been layered, but the main element was a patch called "Lately" on the Yamaha TX81Z that came out around '86 or '87.

I’ve gotta say, it blows my mind how many perfectly blended layers went into this. It makes perfect sense now you explain it - and is at its heart such a simple concept, but definitely not something a beginner producer might realise. You can essentially layer as much of the same note on top of itself as you like, as long as each layer has a different timbre.

Yeah, it's fascinating how many layers there are. I became aware of the Synclavier thanks to this album, and I could hear the FM tones in there, but had no idea it was layered with a real electric bass, a moog and a separate modular synth. Really fascinating stuff, when it comes to synth layers I mostly just recognize the standard DX7+D50 combo that was all over late 80s music.

MJ's B-line was borrowed/stolen, albeit slowed down, from the intro synth riff to Donna Summer' a "State Of Independence". That was a cover of Jon & Vangelis '81 single. Donna's' 82 version was produced by Quincy Jones and features MJ (and an all-star choir) on backing vocals. Give it a listen!
