I always figured J Dilla'a smooth, subby low pass filter bass sound came from his Minimoog or one of the other many synths in is arsenal (E-Mu PK-6, MicroKORG, Electribe ESX-1...etc), but when I heard Questlove on Open Mike Eagle's podcast WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS telling the story of the time Jay Dee showed him...my mind was blown. I highly recommend listening to that podcast, especially if you want to hear some Dilla stories coz Questlove is like a walking almanac of that era of his life.
Here's some links to where you can find the s04e10 ("Things Fall Apart") of the WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS podcast, every season of this podcast is fkn amazing:

Fun fact, feedback from an amplifier is essentially the same thing as an analog oscillator. The impulses created from the voice coil or pickup coils run through a feedback loop in the same way a synths oscillator would for what’s called an opamp. Then eventually since the sound is looping with a super short delay the resonance or quality factor (q) naturally creates a pure sine wave. Although it gets too loud to listen to 🤣

@flywittzbeats4008 please do, keen! You’ve got me thinking what I could do differently, like throw a guitar pedal or something in the chain after the turntable, like how a guitar’s feedback thru an amp can have a different tone with pedal etc…
@PurpleBled 16 күн бұрын
This is fascinating
@flywittzbeats4008 16 күн бұрын
@@Nonjuror that’s a great idea! I feel like the cool thing about making a feedback oscillator is that there is that period of time you have to really get creative while the quality factor of the filter is gaining energy and turning the signal into a sine wave. Which was why you had to cut out some higher frequency content there. This is where a vco with an opamp differs because that kind creates the final wave form almost instantly. I honestly looked for this video last night and couldn’t find it I really hope they didn’t take it down. It was a college professor that filmed an intro to electronics video but I found it while trying to learn about VCO’s a while ago. But Moritz Klein and Audiophool have amazing channels on these subjects also!
