Chords for A Portrait Of Bill Laurance - Chapter 2: Too Many Keyboards

_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ Yeah, toys. _
_ You can never have too many keyboards, you know.
Like my _ dad would often say, you don't need another keyboard, you know.
But it's like every keyboard is like a, you know, it's another instrument.
It has a completely different role _ _ and it has a completely different voice.
So you've got to have all these sounds, you know, at your disposal.
Welcome _ _ _ _ _ _ to [Abm] the funhouse. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah.
_ _ So this is essentially _ all the gear I use to _ _ write with.
I feel like an important thing is having everything plugged in all the time. _ _
So [Gb] if you're ever hearing a specific [F] sound, you can jump to it straight [Bb] away. _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Ab] So down here we've got _ [Em] _ this amazing keyboard called a Roli [Ab] Seaboard.
And [A] it's this amazing thing [G] made out of rubber.
[C] _ _ _
It can sort of trigger [C] all kinds of different _ _ synthesizers through it.
But it [E] allows you to do pitch bend on the actual note.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And it also allows you to control the velocity as [Em] you play it.
So the harder you push, [F] the wider the [Em] envelope filter [G] opens. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I believe it to be the future of [Abm] keyboards.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ This thing is my MS-2000 that I kind of [E] use mostly for the vocoder stuff.
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
I'm not really a singer, but I kind of use _ the _ [Gb] vocoder as a _ _ means of getting vocal [Em] ideas down without having to actually use my real voice.
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
We've got the Moog Little Fatty, _ which is great for bass tones _ [F] or lead sounds.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
This is actually the patch I use on the [C] real one. _
Let's get a pad going [Fm] here. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Yeah, [Em] so this is a good sort of all-around.
It's a monophonic synth, but _ the bass tone you get out of it is really Moog-er.
The front runners for _ filling that full bass tone.
When you're putting it through a full PA, it's [Gb] all about Moog, really.
Let me give you an example.
So when we play _ _ _ [G] _
Money [Db] in the Desert.
