Make nostalgic 90s action movie intro music

[@Bibblebabbler]

80s and 90s soundtracks are the best music period. Nothing cheese just bottled nostalgia and emotions.

[@un_reveur]

This isn't a cheesy music. This music is awesome! I love it!

[@UncleFeedle]

Also has a 1990's shopping mall vibe to it. This kind of stuff was everywhere at the time.

[@Ancaja123]

The Korg M1 style sounds are imo the very best for period accurate 90s movie and tv sounds

[@Thought-Forms]

M1 and Wavestation are a killer combo for 90s film music

[@diegofugazi]

Nah this is crazy, it souds really really good. It would be great to see you make some dark fantasy / dungeon synth!!

[@footrocketco.3050]

Somebody get George Clanton on the phone! lol This synth is gorgeous

[@catsystemcorp]

Wouldn't be surprised if he already has one! Didn't he auction his old Korg m1's or other synths like two years ago?

[@tjn0110]

That 01R/W sounds incredible, you just can't get those tones from modern equipment.

[@Thought-Forms]

They just don't make them like this anymore sadly. I tried some of the newer Korg workstations and they don't do it for me, way too clinical and "real" - not a lot of playfulness or unique sonic character

[@ishmael2586]

​@@Thought-Forms agreed. Last korg i enjoyed was the triton. Nice for the era

[@jumpstar9000]

I miss my O1 very much. Still sounds amazing today.

[@scttcmpbll]

You had me at Point Break

[@Thought-Forms]

💪

[@orpheuscreativeco9236]

Just add some sax, stretch and slow it, and reverb it to hell ... Vaporwave baby!

[@aquanodemusic]

Man I'm glad that Korg now has many of their romplers in VST form but I feel like the 01/W has some extra great, rich sounds in it... either that or you EQ'd everything really well lol. Also that Midiverb sounds really nice!

[@Vingul]

I guess this doesn't exist as a VST then. Can you recommend some who do?

[@aquanodemusic]

​@@VingulSure! As Thought-Forms said at the end of the video, there is the Korg M1 VST (classic 80s sounds), the Korg Wavestation VST (90s) or my favourite, the Korg Triton VST (2000s). They all go on sale every couple of months too, also as a bundle together with all other Korg VSTs. Roland also offers their iconic synths (D-50 for 80s sounds or the JV-1080 for 90s sounds) as VSTs, but Roland's cloud subscription service is annoying IMO. I wish Yamaha would also offer VSTs of their motif series but they dont exist yet (hopefully in the future). Last but not least I can recommend for a free rompler the Nils K1v VST which is a recreation of a 80s rompler from Kawai 👍

[@Thought-Forms]

The FX boxes add a good bit to be fair - but it is an OUTSTANDING sounding machine out of the box as well! Let's hope they do the VST treatment at some point...

[@Vingul]

​@@aquanodemusic Thanks very much! At the moment, most VSTs are too "pricey" for me even when on sale, and when I do get less broke I'll probably focus on acquiring some pieces of hardware (a Digitakt and free VSTs is all I have at the moment). *But* anyway, I'll note this down, thanks again.

[@aquanodemusic]

@@Vingul Same, I totally get that! It took me a while to save for FL Studio and the plugins I wanted as well, but the Korg romplers are definitely worth it. Korg also offers demo versions of their VSTs you can try as long as you want the last time I checked. It is amazing how far you can get with free plugins though!

[@swifplaya]

....I used to breakout my action figures and reenact the movie scenes....when the credits started rolling. Great times and great video....as always

[@altrogeruvah]

I was born in the 80s, these intro sequences are the highlight of my life haha, thank you for this tutorial man!

[@InterfaceFuuls]

Thought-Forms back with another banger

[@kayhuang333]

Ayoooooooo, You did it great. months ago I tried to find some 90s movie OST tutorial like this and got nothing on youtube, all I can do is listen to em and pick similar sounds to re-create the music from 90s japan or hongkong movies I watched.

[@AndresFargoMusic]

Macroblank has to be a suscriber of your channel, Im calling it.

[@HugoArgentina]

You are an excellent explainer, with an excellent voice and presentation style

[@Muldvarp_]

Those drumsets as cheesy as they are are such a defining sound! Dope work as always

[@Thought-Forms]

💪 Truly! the drum programs on this thing are so incredibly big sounding

[@XenoTheProducer]

Such a smooth vibe mate 🔥 I love the sound of those rompler guitars!

[@Thought-Forms]

Thanks Xeno! Big fan of those guitars as well, the Trinity has some really solid ones too

[@gainesdominique]

This is beautiful.

[@ecclesoul]

The breakdown is amazing but what I REALLY wanted was a download link so I could play this on blast on my phone. 😀

[@Floralgamingdisplay]

Gotta second this! Do you upload the full tracks from these tutorials anywhere? I too would love to listen to them.

[@Thought-Forms]

Haha, I will typically put up Bitwig project files on my Patreon - but didn't on this one because it's all audio bounced down - not much use without the MID, imo. And I don't tend to flesh out an ENTIRE song - I'll kind of get a core idea / loop, a little bit around it, do a dirty little bedroom master and get that out. That can change though if folks want full tunes to bump in their Porsche 968

[@Floralgamingdisplay]

@@Thought-Forms I definitely wouldn't say no to that lol. Although it's a fair bit more work to make them full tracks. Something like this that's soundtrack/score inspired those songs are usually only a few minutes long anyway. But for most other things, even if you just bounced out something that was the core ideas/loop but in however long you'd made it so we could listen to the layers and progression as you made them would be cool. Love the videos either way man, keep up the great work!

[@a.p.9674]

Fantastic! Thank you for the video!

[@tylergates4075]

Wish they still made rackable romplers. A modern box with individual outputs, better UI and less menu diving

[@Thought-Forms]

the last rack mount rompler was probably the roland integra around 2010 i believe. would be so killer if someone released SOMETHING modern in a similar format

[@tylergates4075]

@Thought-Forms I have a racked yamaha motif ES . The menu diving can be annoying , but love having access motif sounds that takes up no brain power in my daw. & It's got 4 individual outputs

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Absolutely love this. You are such an inspiration. I'll certainly try my hand at this type of track when I'm back in the studio.

[@VirtualModular]

Excellent as always. All these different styles, but every one gets a bell tree 😉

[@ChristopherGun]

we driving through ocean drive at night with the top down to this

[@LawrenceAaronLuther]

it remind me of the music in my skycorp VHS tapes

[@lucid484]

This ain't cheasy! Add some vocals and you have some sick new The Midnight track...

[@Vingul]

Add some vocals and it would probably become cheesy, lol. But I agree, this sounds very good.

[@un_reveur]

The Midnight guys are awesome!!! Their music is incredibly beautiful 💞

[@charthers8903]

Could never get a 01R/W but I do have a JV-2080 on the way so hopefully I can get some 90s goodness out of it

[@Thought-Forms]

You're solid with the 2080, will get you there as well. Grats on the pickup! Those are a great deal right now for the price

[@AJ_Reynolds]

I just got a 2080 too. It’s definitely got 90s goodness.

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Listening to the Point Break soundtrack now and it’s ironic that you used it as an example as the soundtrack itself was done by ambient composer/trumpet player Mark Isham who did ambient scores for films like The Hitcher (horror) and The Beast (War). Even around this time he was still using analog gear...which he still uses. He played Moog Fest some years back. The gear he was using in the 80s and possibly 90s. Prophet 2000 Sampler. Prophet 5. ARP 2600. Oberheim SEM 4 Voice. Moog Model 15. EMU SP12 Drum Machine. And of course his trumpet played through massive Reverb and delay effects.

[@Screenbience]

Great music and tutorial ❤

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Pure sonic bliss

[@adziak]

Korg M1 is definitely a great alternative for those who can't afford or find an analog rampler.

[@joshtomlinson8169]

this is the best music channel on youtube - you are so spot on with a real niche, the sounds of these 90s romplers does something so good to my soul!!! listened to the free willy OST the other day, check it out for some great 90s synth runs and compositions! any recommendations for albums you like with these sounds in a more singer songwriter context?

[@Thought-Forms]

thanks josh! still remember the will you be there music video vividly. so cheesy and good lol. think a lot of late 90s michael jackson stuff had similar sounds. paul hardcastle is great

[@beverly9486]

I love this! I have 2 requests. Show us how to make Paul Hertzog type music that he did for Jean Claude Van Damme(bloodsport/kickboxer). And show us how to make Jan Hammer type music like preferably Cocaine Cowboys or Miami Vice type

[@Thought-Forms]

Thanks! Love the suggestions. I'll do some investigation

[@FoxerTails]

Now it just needs some live drums and electric guitar and it'd be perfect.

Has Korg released a VSTi version of the Korg 01R/W..? If not, they're missing a trick. I have the Triton Studio and Triton Extreme, the M1, and the Wavestation. Come on, Korg!

[@Thought-Forms]

Not yet! I do think they'll eventually get to it with the Korg Collection....just a matter of time

[@ishmael2586]

What's the difference between Triton & extreme?

[@rjbush7955]

Not to offend but this track reminds me of on-hold music when you were in a 90s call queue.

[@VirtualModular]

Harsh. I don't think hold music has improved since the 90s!

[@Thought-Forms]

None taken, in fact, that's a compliment in my eyes 😂

[@tziirkq]

I have a question, is the reverb on the drums baked into the audio? Or can a fella turn it off? I know in some ROMplers it was treated like a mixable effect.

[@Thought-Forms]

In this instance, both. You can typically tweak fx send amounts on romplers

[@FredF78]

The same airy sound was common for the technical errors from tv broadcasting or simply the clock showing when the last show was over for the night. Andy Clarke did a lot of it for BBC I think... Edit: Not Andy but some other composer called Murray Monroe. Classic sound almost your theme in your video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGtnZyij615q7s

[@desktorp]

Seinfeld Porno Bass

[@Thought-Forms]

one of the all time greatest sounds

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

The snare has an incorrect bitcrush effect. The 90s did not sound like that 😊👌most was high quality then and did not have such obvious aliasing crunch.

[@ilearncode7365]

Why isnthe 01/w the single synth that has never been made into a VST?!? It has the best dyno EP ever

[@Thought-Forms]

the ep's on it are killer. one day korg will listen to the people!
