Jazzman?

Jazzman?

2009-07-04 by john barrick

I figure there's probably more synths owned on this list than there are 
trons, and I was wondering if someone might know what synth was used on 
Carole King's Jazzman.  It comes in on the second half of the second 
verse, around 2:08 and sounds like it has a bit of gliss going on.  I'm 
guessing that this wouldn't be terribly hard patch to work up, but I was 
just wondering if anyone knew what was used.

It just sounds like a typical minimoog patch. Easy to get with any dual oscillator mono synth. Thanks for reminding me about this one. You made me pull out my Wrap Around Joy LP. Good stuff.

Thanks, Dan.  I figured it probably was a mini, but not having played 
one - well, you know.  Like I said, I'm fairly certain I could dial it 
in without too much trouble.Yeah, King was an incredible pop songwriter 
who all too often seems forgotten these days.
