1:17 When I saw Blade Runner in theatrical release it movved me. The music was ethereal. But no one else saw it. It was as if I knew about this secret world that no one else knew about.

I can imagine. I was a big fan of Harrison Ford, but my parents wouldn't let me see it because of the R rating. When I did see it, I think it went over my head. I also was never able to see it on the big screen, where it was meant to be experienced.

Many thanks for your comments! It is a Hammond 1957 C3. As you may know, the C3 and B3 have the same guts and console; the only difference is the style of the wooden cabinet. In my case, my heros (e.g., Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Walsh, Jon Lord, etc.) played the C3, and so I prefer the look of it.

@@jonathanbobo722 That's a good question! I've enjoyed this track many times over the years. Ennio Morricone used such unusual instrumentation. I think he did a lot with mallet percussion (e.g., vibraphone, etc.). The high part that comes in at 1:42 sounds like it could be bells/glockenspiel. I read somewhere that he used a Hammond X-66 organ, which was in production when this was recorded. It's hard to know. Some of my first covers were by Ennio Morricone, and I would have been happy to do more... But they don't seem to get much attention. I like doing big orchestral film scores on my keyboards, but I think fans of that music want to hear it done with orchestral instruments.

Приветствую. Оригинальный инструмент, который использовал Вангелис, был слегка модифицированным электропианино Fender Rhodes. Нижний инструмент, который я использую, - это Yamaha Montage 8. Я использую один из его более теплых звуков Fender Rhodes, который имеет менее перкуссионную атаку. Я также отредактировал его так, чтобы он сохранялся без необходимости в педали сустейна. Для баса с левой стороны я использую бас-гитару в стиле CS-80, доступную на Montage. Хотя может возникнуть языковой барьер, я говорю и демонстрирую свои звуки в моих видеороликах «Создание кавера».

@TaurusTarkus
@TaurusTarkus Ай бұрын
Congratulations on the superb Moog One! There is a lot to love there, including my favorite Fatar keybed. It may depend a bit which CS-80 sound you are going for. I'm going to assume that you have watched my "Making of a Cover" videos- if not, they would be helpful. I talk about the Blade Runner Blues lead in my recent one and the Blade Runner Brass sound in the third one. I haven't spent a lot of time with the Moog One, and so I can't say exactly how the filter section is set up. Your State Variable Filter should be closer to a CS-80 than the Moog Ladder Filter. However, if you can select 2-pole only on the Ladder, then it may work better. (The CS-80 is closer to a 2-pole than a normal 4-pole Ladder filter.) If possible, I think the ideal would be to use two of the layers most of the time (to simulate the two layers of the CS), with each layer using two 2-pole State Variable Filters- the first for high pass and the second for low pass. You could then use that third layer for getting something like the CS-80 Sine Wave, which you could then blend in with greater volume, like I talk about in Making of a Cover 4.

Really beautiful! Regarding synthesizer equipment, maybe you could provide me with some advice: currently I use a Roland Lx706 digital piano coupled with a Roland Integra7. Now, the Integra7 revealed itself as quite a disappointment for my particular needs since I play classical music (especially J. S. Bach) with enhanced sounds (you can get a quick idea by checking some pieces on my own KZbin channel). Although I love the kind of typical "synthesizer" sounds you employ here in this case, I can't use patches that take too much time to build up and/or fade away. Secondly, I would like to employ more first-class sounds that imitate the classical orchestra. Roland brags about their "super natural" patches of solo string and woodwind instruments, but you can't use them for simultaneous voices like Bach. On the other hand, Roland's string sections of the orchestra are just bad. The same goes for their human "voices". There is another important restriction regarding my playing: it is always "live". That's why I can't use those splendid (!) patches "NotePerformer" provides. And finally, my current master keyboard is very touch-sensitive and I wouldn't want to miss that. Since I always play and record with earphones, maybe you know some alternative brand and/or models which I could buy in the future. So, if you have some idea for additional equipment suitable for my situation, your advice would be very much appreciated.
