Yes, you're right. There are much better devices that are suitable for looping. As a beginner I would run each track individually in a DAW. You can do this with any MIDI controller. you always stop before recording a new track. Mainly I just want to show easy versions of famous songs that everyone can try to play.
The fun part of this song is the odd chord changes, which DM does a lot, which isn't shown here. There's a half note drop from line one to line two of the verse. This is a good showing of how it's done though. It's harder than you make it look. I've done these for years (never bothered to record a video of one), but you may hear it and think, "Oh, that's a simple progression" or whatever. After their early stuff, DM got a lot more complex musically. Appreciate you sharing how it's done. I do most of it on a Kronos now, but it used to be a Jupiter-6 (still have it) and a Yamaha V50 of all things (also still have it).
and what's so bad if you make a simple version of it that everyone can practice? I think you can hear which title it is and know these are not the Backstreet Boys. but thank you for your detailed comment.
@@AndreasHerrmann-yc7yr Nothing. That's part of the beauty of synths. You can do simple chord progressions, but it can sonically be made into anything. Hell, a scale can sound interesting that way. Musically, if you are just on a piano, the progressions and changes become far more important to maintain the listener's interest, at least IMO.
Yes, the original bass is supposed to come from a Moog Model D in conjunction with an ARP2600. But I also read that the bass should come from a Roland system 700 modular.
Thank you! here are the vst' that I used: Drums - LINN DRUM Standart kit Bass - SPIRE factory sounds Bass 05 Brass - ROLAND JUPITER 8 PWM Brass Harp - ARTURIA DX7 Harp2 Synth Voice - ROLAND JV1080 Synvox Xylophone - ROLAND D50 Xylophone I hope i could help you.
Hello Chris! Thank you. No, these are not the original sounds. I just want to show you how to play it and what kind of sounds I used. There are many more tracks in the original song. Best regards
DM famously samples a LOT of their sounds, so it's never certain for sure where they came from. I did figure out how they did one though. Listen to the "snare" drum on World In My Eyes. Now make a spit sound through a straw and speed it up an octave or so. That's the "snare". (That's also how they get the reverse of it before the first verse. Same sound, an octave or so lower, reversed,) It's clever stuff. It's one of those things that when you hear it, you're like, "Why didn't I think of that?"
