How To Recreate Kraftwerk The Model

[@PierreVonStaines]

He’s a Doctor and he’s sounding good. He likes to wear lots of rings it’s understood.

[@Doctormix]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@EtsiJuuret]

His playing's hard to get, he jokes from time to time. He only takes a camera to blow your mind.

[@PierreVonStaines]

Doctor Mix That’s got to be worth recreating The Smurf by Tyrone Brunson?! Pretty please with a cherry on top Doctor Rings, you’re my favourite General Practitioner! 🥰

[@sisterzzbro4215]

@Doctor Mix Good job man! Can you one time recreate "Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme"? Man that would be so cool.

[@kushmoosh4171]

Next up: Kraftwerk - Autobahn 😎 (and please the entire 22 minutes 😂)

[@nilswegner2881]

Yes please do it!!!

[@benh.635]

[@plan9fromsyracuse]

My daughter loved the Kraftwerk breakdown--her favorite band and she is only 5. Big fan of your channel. Her request is the glorious synth theme from Knight Rider. One of her favorites as well.

[@Doctormix]

I’ll do that at some point :-) and thanks so much !!! So happy to hear that 😁🕺❤️

Kraftwerk inspired so many electronic artists............first record I ever bought was autobahn or at least got my mum to buy me when I was 5......then loved Tour de France from the film breakdance when electro and hip hop was big in 83 , seen kraftwerk live a few times in my life they are the electronic music masters

[@rafaelmdiaz11]

From one producer to another....Thank you for posting you are very talented and your happy personality puts color on the art.

[@lantilo6873]

How about a challenge? Try recreating Geigercounter and Radioactivity. Both a rythmic challenge and a melodic (considering the background choir). The melody itself should be pretty easy, but i’m curious how you would create the repeating bass synth.

[@TheRafaelRamos]

Kavinsky - Nightcall. That's a masterpiece.

[@dpchmod]

"Sie ist ein Model und sie sieht gut aus" ;) Amazing recreation as always. Would be great if you do something from Depeche? 😄

[@D7agol7nd7go]

Jan Hammer's Crocketts Theme would be a good track to recreate, there are a few parts to work on.

[@RetroPlus]

This is definitely one of my all time favourite songs, kraftwerk have always been one of my favourite bands. Thank you Dr mix!

[@martinfoster5163]

I just did a version on Garageband. Some I had to do by ear, some I did with sheet music. I got some sounds very similar and others I went my own direction with a lot more choral effects. I also sang and changed the words - sort of a parody - called "The tour guide". It's an homage to my brother who's birthday is tomorrow. He's the "tour guide" and a huge Kraftwerk fan. I posted previously that we saw Kraftwerk live. So it's a shared experience and I hope he likes it.

[@dwen1816]

I loved this video as much as all of the previous ones ❤ Could you possibly recreate something from Gary Numan's discography next?

[@Wonky4925]

Fucking get in!!!

[@DavidDeLuge]

Bloody awesome! You should so do the theme from Knight Rider.

[@eveslade666]

Knight Rider would be awesome :D

[@inprogress93]

I guess he confused the Knight Rider theme with the Miami Vice theme. There was no Simmons drum used in Knight Rider.

[@cleretfernandes5972]

That was my favourite ..I used play that track during my school days ..I used incorporate a Casio keybord with it and juno 60 ..back in the 80s

[@djwaynelive]

I like this! The process is fun to watch. I completed my own cover some while ago and seeing someone else have a stab at it is a lot of fun.

[@jiffzilla]

This brings back good memories, I used to do song recreations in my late teens/early 20's (Fruity Loops FTW!) and The Model was one of those songs trying to work out the different parts by playing the track over and over. Loved watching this video, thanks for bringing back those cool memories Doctor Mix! Awesome job!

[@bluebull399]

I remember similar times. I have about 20 home made remixes of The Model (all terrible). But I had so much fun doing them.

[@augmentedkeys5971]

How about something from Depeche Mode's Violator? Like "Halo" or "Policy of Truth." Probably hard since they most likely are using samples...

[@SleepSerenityRelaxation]

My vote would be for World in My Eyes. Me, you, and everybody who's ever seen a dog has redone Enjoy the Silence to death. Policy of Truth would be a interesting pick, though. Why not just do the whole album? 😄

[@CJWarlock]

When the cover sounds almost identical to the original... :D Pure sonic delight! Thanks for the 25m24s of immersion in it.

[@MonsieurC64]

Nice job ! One minor correction : they didn't have a mellotron, but they used an Orchestron, which was kind of a pro version of the Optigan. They used it on the Radio Activity, TEE, and Man Machine albums.

[@Doctormix]

You're 100% right!

[@n84434]

Yea, I was going to comment that it was the Vako Orchestron. I had one back about 11 years ago. Really cool instrument and even cooler knowing that Kraftwerk had one of the 500 or so that were made... they used discs with audio tracks recorded on them, like the Optical soundtrack on 16mm film

[@Kirurishii]

I filmed a bass guitar cover of this today and I emulated the decay of the bass synth by putting a (clean) sock under the strings at the bridge and using it as a mute!

[@mintlou]

Been waiting a while for this one to pop up. The Doctor has mixed my dream.

[@martinfoster5163]

Stellar work, sir! I had the good fortune to see Kraftwerk live in June 1981, I believe. It was shortly after Computerworld was released. My brother and I were huge fans and I owned all their albums. We rushed the stage and made it to front and centre. The concert was brilliant. We managed to participate in their "pocket calculator" number where they used portable devices, come to the front of the stage and they let the audience tap on their tiny keyboards. It's a treasured memory.

[@kasberge7164]

Great comment

[@303machine]

For Synthmaster 2 there are commercially available synth expansions under discounted price of many legendary synth and progressive rock artists sounds based on their legendary songs, including Krafterk and their song Das Model/The Model, by Nori Ubukata, Dawn of Electronic Music Vol3.

[@trollsplash5500]

I love this channel and the classic synth deconstructed songs. Unfortunately we are not all as skilled as the doctor and have issues recreating the synth sounds presented on this channel. I would like there to be a section at the end of each video where each sound created is auditioned clean on middle C Key , This way viewers can sample the sounds if they need too. I personally own a Roland W30 and would love to get these sounds into my synth.

[@1234doodle]

I love these kind of videos! Please do more of these, maybe with analog synths next time as well?

[@stevenreinke9924]

Just this i have discovered this band and you upload a video of them? Nice

[@emotionblur7214]

Excellent recreation :) One note: I think the "mellotron" might be an Orchestron (like mellotron, but using loops on discs instead of tapes), they had one and used it extensively (Radioactivity is the best example). I have its repro Audio Unit in IK Multimedia Sampletron, but sadly it seems like the disks they sampled were badly worn out, and pretty much unusable.

[@CrossCuntryFranco]

It is indeed the Orchestron, the same one used in _Radio-Activity_ and the other LPs (from _Trans Europa Express_ through to _Computerwelt/Computer World_ ); Side 2 is almost an Orchestron playground ("Das Model/The Model" and "Neonlicht/Neon Lights" being the ones that used it).

Sure this stunning track is originally from the stunning 1978 album Man Machine that features the stunning track We Are The Robots and others. The Model was finally released as a single with Computer Love as the B side very late 1981 and reached number 1 for a couple of weeks in January 1982. Yes awesome indeed.
