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

Leave your comments on how you play it! This is how I do it.

[@daverose9987]

Dude! You nailed it! I am a lead singer in an 80s Rock Band and you got me wanting to learn how to play this! Lol. Awesome!

[@LaziestKeys]

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

[@ShanesQueenSite]

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?

That's a amazing electic keyboard

Parabéns e obrigado por demonstrar, pra quem está aprendendo, como eu, ajuda muito ver como os tecladistas organizam e tocam tantas partes e timbres diferentes na mesma música, incluindo os samples. Dentro das possibilidades do meu instrumento, já me ajudou a ter muitas ideias.

Hello. Great sound. Can I ask You to tell us exactly which two sounds you edited and what theme you used for the layer. I have a Yamaha PSR EW 425, pleeease help me choose two sounds, I really want to play like You, I will be very grateful

[@ShanesQueenSite]

Nicely Done - Can I ask did you program the Strings Patch yourself on the Kronos or was it one of the Narfsounds et al type patches? I have the Kronos 2 and I'm in the process of creating some Queen patches from scratch.

[@LaziestKeys]

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.

[@ShanesQueenSite]

@@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 !

[@LaziestKeys]

@@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.

[@peacelove7162]

sounds great,do you know what synth they used on the original track?

[@LaziestKeys]

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.

[@benpayne7426]

I believe they used the Yamaha DX7

[@danielkisielewski7612]

korg m1 I believee

[@MrJonnyharry]

@@benpayne7426 they certainly used DX7 when playing live

I found an isolated vocal track here in KZbin and sampled it.

@@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

[@igorpivomar5188]

Como você consegue esse efeitos?? É do próprio kronos ou vc os coloca dentro dele

[@LaziestKeys]

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 KZbin e sampleei para dentro do Kronos para poder disparar na hora certa.

[@FernandoLopez-le6pd]

Donde conseguiste los samples? Where did You got the samples? Can You bring me them? Podrías pasármelo?

[@LaziestKeys]

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

[@danielkisielewski7612]

I cheet and transpose my keyboard

[@Patrick-kd7ml]

hi, I can't find the vocal choirs separately, they are mixed with the lead vocal. www.piotreqrmx.com/multitracks.html could you please tell me where you got the voices track by track (lead separately vs chorus to set on my keyboard like you) thx.

[@LaziestKeys]

I got them from a video like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qITZoZebn5eCoqM

Wow amazing rendition of a classic, I emulate this on my Roland XP-50 using the vintage SR-JV80-04 expansion card patch number XP:024 it is good but not as good as yours, cheers from New Zealand.

[@johnhughes4839]

What strings u use and can I find them on my korg krome

[@LaziestKeys]

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.

[@AdrianGonzalez1987]

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

[@dagbakka9995]

@@LaziestKeys The original was done with a Yamaha Dx7

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

[@uplnejvypatlanec1692]

I would appreciate chords, it's difficult to take them over

[@rob_condor3144]

E' possibile riprodurre questo suono (the show must go on) con una yamaha psr ew 425 grazie

[@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.

[@rob_condor3144]

@@LaziestKeys grazie,provero' cosi

[@user-by5wu8iy5r]

Do you have a score for timbres?

[@LaziestKeys]

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.

[@user-by5wu8iy5r]

​@@LaziestKeys OK! Thanks A Lot!

[@supremeking_05]

what Korg Kronos is that?

The first one, mk1 88.

do you have sheet music??

No, I learnt it from ear.

It’s Korg Kronos LS ?

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

how to play this song?
