The Show Must Go On (Queen) Keyboard Synth part - Korg Kronos 

Thanks, go ahead, it's not hard to play.

It's a great song and quite easy to play, basically its Bm G Em F# Em Edim but with each chord you vary it slightly (there's a kind of riff that it follows), it transposes up a whole tone and then you play Em and you are back to the Bm, in the middle there is a bridge F G Em Am Am/G F G Em Am Edim Dsus4 ``````` D then it goes back to the Bm riff. Hope that helps

Was your band called Stryper?

Had my polish friend Adrian Craig translate this one to me... dzięki!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I programmed it myself. I used strings + brass trying to match the korg M1 combi Queen originally used. There is more info about this in another question in this video.

@@LaziestKeys Thanks so much, I will check that out. I just want to saw you really got it 100%, it sounds spot on. Well done !

@@ShanesQueenSite thanks! If I remember right the combi I'm the M1 is orchestra 1. I used a little bit of drive/distortion also to make the strings and brass a little more lo-fi and organic.

Thanks, I was not playing to a metronome, it was the timing it felt like for me at that moment 😁

@@LaziestKeys Yes...surely it's a demostration that you have played correctly...the beat is not important, thanks man...have you good day...Great Band was their ...''The Queen...

@@LaziestKeys i have many Keyboards from GEM ''62' models, Korg M1,01WFD,T3,Wavestation,I4S,M50,Kronos X61 and last Nautilus,(one day i looking M3 and Krome) greatest Keyboards...

I got them from a video like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rSvpdej2OlA.html

I chopped them from a multi track I found here in RU-vid. Search for "the show must go on isolated" or "multitrack". Use some tool to download the audio from RU-vid, edit it and import in your keyboard.

Thanks! They used a Korg M1 and it seems the preset 'orchestra' was used. It is a mix of strings and brass with a bit of distortion. I treid to reacreate that preset. I loaded it in korg m1 vst and analised which sounds were part of the combi and searched for similar waveforms in the kronos. And the vocal samples were taken from a multitrack I found online.

I believe they used the Yamaha DX7

korg m1 I believee

@@benpayne7426 they certainly used DX7 when playing live

I found an isolated vocal track here in RU-vid and sampled it.

@@LaziestKeys MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR. SALUDOS Y ANIMO DESDE VALENCIA (SPAIN)

@@FurioXavi hola!! Yo soy de Valencia, también estoy buscando ese mismo sonido para mi Korg krome soy nuevo en esto de los samples me podrías ayudar?? Te lo agradecería muchísimo

Os timbres eu programei combinando sons que vem no Kronos. As vozes eu peguei de um multitrack do Queen com as vozes separadas que achei aqui mesmo no RU-vid e sampleei para dentro do Kronos para poder disparar na hora certa.

Thanks, I didn't understand what you meant by "yamaha number to name".

Thank you!

I love your smile at the end of it, cheers.@@LaziestKeys

I would try layering a strings sound with a fast attack and a brass section sound (not a very bright one, a brass orchestra or something like that) but leave the brass way lower than the strings and keep them playing together sounding the same octaves. That would get you a bit close.

@@LaziestKeys grazie,provero' cosi

Unfortunately I don't have a score. I got it by ear. The sounds are basically M1 strings + brass, a M1 combi called orchestra or something like that which I have recreated in Kronos.

​@@LaziestKeys OK! Thanks A Lot!

I layered some hard strings sound (search for m1 like strings or even gm strings) with a brass sounds. The original recording was done with a korg m1 so I am pretty sure you can find sounds that will work in your synth as these are quite rough string and brass samples. Not refined. But sound awesome together.

I nerd tour help if he manager yo ver that sound out for the Korg krome i could pay him for it

@@LaziestKeys The original was done with a Yamaha Dx7

@@dagbakka9995 thats not what I have read. Where did you find this info? I got mine from here culture.fandom.com/wiki/The_Show_Must_Go_On_(Queen_song) and here bobbyblues.recup.ch/korg_m1/m1_examples.html

@@LaziestKeys I assume it's a DX7 because that was the keyboard they mostly used live. I could be wrong

No, I learnt it from ear.

The first one, mk1 88.

No, kronos 88 first generation. But all of them are able to load the same sounds

If you watch my hands you can figure it out, I guess...

You are right! That's how I wrote it in my notes but played wrong in the video. Thanks for noticing :)

@@LaziestKeys no problem man! Nice job! And thanks for sharing the video! :)

Non stavo ascoltando la canzone originale quando l'ho registrata.
