Given that he worked on Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, Anthony Marinelli should know a thing or two about programming classic ‘80s synth patches. In a new video, he switches focus from the King of Pop to a famous synth part from another musical royal: the intro to Prince’s 1999.
Originally recorded using an Oberheim synth - there’s some debate as to which - Marinelli sets about recreating the 1999 intro using an OB-X. However, he suggests that any synth with two oscillators and pulse width modulation should be up to the job.
