This is masterpiece. Music from the angels... thanks Martin Hannett

[@deusvmachina]

Absolutely love this. Synth covers are so underrated.

Aww thankyou appreciated

So good Mr. Cook! Tears rolling down!!!

Where have they been? Classic!!!!

[@blown22]

By far, the absolute best cover of one of my favorite JD songs. Well done, mate!

[@TheArpomni2]

Wow thankyou , made my day , I did another one last night

Beautiful work

This is shockingly good !!! I am so glad I found your channel and a fellow joy division fan. I have always dreamed of doing my own JD cover band

[@TheArpomni2]

Bless you so nice to have you on board, saw JD twice, Leeds was unreal, I came out shocked, but Newcastle City Hall was not so good, you will hate me as I hate myself for it, but was meant to be at Birmingham Gig, got there and ended up going to a Clint Eastwood convention instead, aarrrrrhhhh my mates to blame, he was huge CE fanatic, even acted like him lol

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

What is the other keyboard on top of Nord?

[@TheArpomni2]

@@Fallingoverbackwards it's a Korg micro x but I'm playing real Mellotron 8 Choir through it via Midi from Nord Mellotron samples, just going to do a vid just for you as a JD fan, warning I'm a bit pissed lol

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

Chris-Cook I love it

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

Chris-Cook that would be fantastic

[@benrideout4771]

I keep coming back to this video. It's amazing and makes me want to get a similar synth setup.

[@TheArpomni2]

Aww thank you, hope you get a good set up, if you search through my vids I do a tutorial how to play decades on a actual ARP Omni 2, same as JD used live and in studio

[@benrideout4771]

@@TheArpomni2 I've seen your rendition and I'm going to try and learn from it, sadly a real ARP is out of my price range but there are some good software recreations that use samples so I hope it's fairly close!

[@TheArpomni2]

@@benrideout4771 I find the Nord electro has best sample, it's titled as Quadra strings, but it's actually Omni, as the Omni string boards are in the Quadra,

[@benrideout4771]

@@TheArpomni2 that sounds amazing, I just need to find a way to do the choral voices in that song too.

[@TheArpomni2]

@@benrideout4771 I've done a vid tonight if your interested, got my ARP Omni out of storage to give a Nord sample vs Omni, obviously real Omni wins, it's Analogue compared to digital sample, but it's bloody good sample, I'm sure you will agree and at end of day you loved my digital versions, but wait till you see real thing lol, I get bored I'm nearly 60 so I'd be glad of any requests from you on the Omni and JD

[@diesekaltewelt807]

Great work. Pretty intense lol

[@TheArpomni2]

Lol thankyou , im playing it like they did live at Birmingham over the Closer version , but still kind of works

[@prillewitz]

Recently I have a new headphone, you started talking at the beginning of the video and I thought there was someone behind me. (The ghost of Ian). Scared myself to bits! 😊

[@TheArpomni2]

Lol sorry about that

[@CevirilerleYasiyorum]

Peter Stegman ohh i’m not the only one hahahahah

[@struckdown5533]

sounds great chris, i remember your decades tutorial video was the first of yours i ever saw

[@TheArpomni2]

Cheers mate , the Nord Electro is great keyboard/synth , got the Arp Omni strings sampled on it , you can have any old keyboard sampled on it , espwcially from the free library , theres nearly every old Analogue synth there , all free ,

[@brandocervera3854]

so simple yet so beautiful

Your so right mate

Brilliant stuff. Love this. Keep it up please!

Thankyou appreciated

[@matthewelson8022]

Congratulations 10/10 - that is not easy to play 👏🏼

[@TheArpomni2]

Thankyou, as a novice I've always had to work JD out, as there's no Tabs or sheet music for JD,

I'm trying to reproduce this on my midi controller and I'm lost haha. Love your video 🔥

[@TheArpomni2]

Thank you, never realy used midi much,

[@edcollins9377]

are you sure they used a mellotron. I thought it might have been the Omni through the Marshall Time Modulator. I can run my Omni through a Polymmog Resonator and get Mellotron like sounds or better yet, I made a module of the Roland VP330 Human Voice Filter and if you put the Omni Strings through it it sounds like a mellotron.

[@TheArpomni2]

I'm very sure now they didn't use the Mellotron, Bernard says it was through the mtm and a ten band graphic, I've tried it through the graphic and got the choir effect, but not like Hannett, but he did record that choir part through a microphone set up in the Pool room ambience via the monitor speakers, hence that distant industrial choir sound, I'll guess we will never know, SynthMania on here has got himself a mtm and he's even struggling getting the Decades, eternal choir with it, Hannett obviously a genius

[@edcollins9377]

I didn't know you had a mellotron, I've watched most of your videos and don't remember it.

[@edcollins9377]

Joy Division is not the same unless it is played on the ARP, but you did as good of job as one could do without the original keybds.

[@TheArpomni2]

Cheers, I know what you mean, bit of a coincidence as I've another KZbinr who has took interest in me doing it on ARP, so I've got my Omni out of storage and set it up to do him some requests on it, think I'll keep it out permantly, only seems right doesn't it, no good sat in loft,

[@benrideout4771]

Hello Chris, finally got a keyboard on order so I'll be trying this out in a few weeks when my PC is up and running. Really looking forward to it to say the least. Saw you tagged me in a post on Facebook but couldn't view it and can't find it now - what was it?

[@TheArpomni2]

Ooh what keyboard you ordered so I can have a nosey? You could always go the vst route, and just have a Midi controller keyboard, I've tried it, but it's not my thing waiting for laptop to fire up etc, like to just turn my keyboards on and go, can't remember vid I did, I tend to do them pissed and Saturday morning I'm like, wtf is that I've done, immediate delete lol
