How many times have I listened to this song and I never knew there were all these Moog lines on it! I had to listen again, and sure enough, there they are (plus a lot of other thing I never noticed... is that a guitar through a Leslie?). The filter slowly opening up is another great sonic detail.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was making this video (about how many times I've heard this song but never realized what was hiding under the covers). I'm not sure about the guitar through a Leslie but I would believe anything. These guys experimented with EVERYTHING in 1969. You should read the Wikipedia on it - it's very interesting. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much for putting this together!! I plan on recording a video of this song with my latest project - I will report back with these patches in use! So happy to support a great channel
Cool! Thanks for your comment. They are available now here: www.patreon.com/posts/beatles-here-sun-67951848? and here: www.mykeystomusic.com/courses/master-the-nord-stage-3
This sounds so accurate. I was wondering if you could do a video like this for Maxwells silver hammer because I’m pretty sure that song uses a moog. Thanks!
@FctHvn Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't heard the song Maxwells in forever, so it was a nice trip down memory lane listening to it just now. And like here comes the sun, I was surprised to hear how many different synth sounds are also used. And I believe you are correct; it also sounds like a Moog to my ears. At this time, however, I don't plan to do a video for Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but it's another prime example of the Beatles experimenting with the synth in a tasteful way.
Well done! Timely too. I’m an NS3 owner/player. A periodic gig is playing and charting for concerts featuring George Harrison’s music. Query: Have you separated tracks to reference or, like me, have you been using your ears and an app like Transcribe!?
Hello @Jean-Pierre Garau Thanks for your comment and question. It's nice to meet someone who is so well-versed with George Harrison's music. Truth be told, making these sounds was made a touch easier as there was a video that already had the synth parts isolated here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NAiNvG-JXsg.html But in most other cases, I have to just use my ears to pick out sounds and recreate them on the NS3 and NW2. For learning how to play music, I also use an App on the Mac called "Capo" which can slow music down to 1/4 speed for those very quick and tricky passages one needs to learn from time to time (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hKn_ovlw4nI.html). So to sum up your question, yes, 90% of the time I use the original music and my ears to make the sounds and analyze the performance for playback. Oh, of course, I will also invest in the sheet music as needed depending on the song. I also have a "Chordify" account for learning chords or to have as a reference when I'm playing along with something. There are a LOT more tools for musicians these days than there were in 1985 when I first started playing electronic keyboards in a group. I'm sure you understand this yourself - so many changes over the years (mostly for the better).
Hello again @Jean-Pierre Garau I understand you do charting for concerts featuring George Harrison's music. Well, wanted to make sure you saw my latest George Harrison video here since you are surely a big fan of George's music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JAJv36GxlG4.html
Hello @Lauri Hirsto Great request! Luckily, this one is already discoverable here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KUh48N1zv8A.html and made commercially available here in this song pack: www.synthcloud.net/products/fpl001-25-sounds-making-history-vol-1-nord-stage-3?_pos=1&_sid=83ec20bb0&_ss=r (FYI Neither of these links/ resources were created by me). Hope that helps get you started!
