Robert Miles 'CHILDREN' - YAMAHA QY70

[@pasyensyatv9092]

. amazing soundsI cant believe,it all came thru that small sequencer. yamaha qy series

[@1980VINZ]

Holy shit…………….. I’m mind blown 🤯 You did such a good job and this little beast is unbelievable too… This is really cool I remember I was 16yo and was saying that this track will be unforgettable because even if the sound got old with years because electronic music evolving a lot (I was already making electronic music), the feeling of this song will stay very strong forever, at least to me… !! RIP Roberto Concina aka Robert Miles Big salut from France 🇫🇷 Vinz🙋‍♂️

[@cyborgjeff]

I totaly agree with you... I had 18 years when I heard that song. That song built the musician I am ! RIP Roberto.

[@netako]

And you're dang right, this song is a classic.

[@Razr29]

I had the QY100 when I was younger, it was like the best sketch pad for music, I pawned it because I was young and didn't know any better, boy what a mistake, seeing this makes me want it back, it's good to see people still using it.

[@mikeexits]

It's crazy how different MIDI-based electronic music gear looks now compared to (whenever this came out, it's surprisingly difficult to find a release date). My first groovebox is the Novation Circuit, and this QY70 looks like a handheld game console of some kind haha. It's clearly capable, but on just looking at something like that, my mind assumes it's like a toy. Strange how Volcas look less like toys, and yet are less capable than this.

[@edreynolds5434]

@@mikeexits 1997 was the release date. I got one of the last units from the original batch. Cost me £560 and I still use it today. In fact I bought a spare in beautiful condition for around £50 on Ebay a few years ago as I couldn't be without one. An incredible piece of kit even today in my opinion 22 years on! Prices of second hand units have unsurprisingly increased in recent times as a result of these demos, with averages prices over £100 now. Still a steal for MIDI lovers

[@6581punk]

Just bought one. Never owned one, but I've had DB50XG (threw it away, what an idiot), SW1000XG (gave to a work colleague), RM1x (sold, but I re-purchased and had to replace all the switches). The QY100 I bought looks to be in great shape, boxed and with manuals.

[@surfdigby]

@@6581punk I used to have a QY10. I liked it, but I have to admit, it limited compared to this.

[@sonomama82]

I was always amazed at people who pushed these things too their limits. Great work.

[@andyturner3056]

The QY70 is a beast of an instrument, even to this day. I totally love mine, and if it ever breaks I'll buy another. Still very easy to get hold of one. Yamaha totally got this one right, apart from the lack of backlit display 👌👍

[@simoncardie9371]

I've still got my QY100. I may have to dig it out as i never really looked at it properly. Excellent!

[@paulwood4142]

I was just looking about getting one so clicked on this to see what they can do and god damn! I mean this is one hell of an ad for Yamaha.

[@Madison-ut6bz]

I found out robert miles passed away the other day its a bit sad on of the first cd's my older brother gave me as a kid was a burned copy of "Dreamland" His music sounds like a whole 'nother universe yet to be explored God Bless

[@athaphian]

It almost sounds like the original might have been produced on one of these machines! Good job!

[@japoltube]

it was Yamaha QS 300- big brother of this one, with the same sounds

[@HoTeNaTV928]

You think this sounds like the original?! Nope that one ist closer kzbin.info/www/bejne/enuyi4KHnJ1-nsU

[@fender1000100]

@@japoltube Wow that's amazing.

[@glenesis]

Beautiful! That amazing verb is onboard? Holy cow! NowI have to dig around inside my QY20! Those Yamaha guys really killed it with the QY70.

[@6581punk]

Yamaha have always bundled a pretty decent FX unit ever since their workstation days, SY77 etc.

[@lacevvood4154]

yamaha should release a new one based on the reface dx engine plus some drums

[@Zeal808]

That would be rad

[@TanDubz]

A new groovebox sampler that would kill MPC and Roland. Yamaha have always been innovative, generous in the capabilities left to the user's imagination to exploit and always offering something unique. I would imagine a groovebox sampler sequencer with 3 effects blocks like on an A5k midi in, out, through, audio interface, controller surface with hands on eq and 3 Aux sends with multiple ins and outs and on-board recording like on the new Tascam Model / Zoom Live Series. If they can add some sounds of the Montage and allow for sampling import with 16 midi channels mute/solo allowing automation I would pay for the price they're asking!

[@Havanacuba1985]

That would be totally awesome

[@fender1000100]

What they should do is put the op six sounds and drum kits in a box with the QY70s sequencing and effects. I would buy it immediately.

[@AQAMARINA]

what a nice way to revisit a classic

[@romeomartini6779]

thank you Roberto Concina alias Rert Miles (Fleurier, 3 novembre 1969 - Ibiza, 9 maggio 2017)

[@CO5MA]

Fleurier, in Switzerland.

[@tootallnick8176]

That little YAMAHA can do all of that? That's Crazy!

[@connelangusrice3635]

Finally, someone who's got the piano part correct.

[@JanMichalSzulew]

Not really :)

[@craigsurette3438]

Oh dayum, this is amazing work ! You are a masochist, for doing this with the QY70.....

[@insidestraight4659]

Amazing work, had no idea these little machines sounded this good, damn!!

[@Supernumerary]

I have a QY70 and totally recognize these sounds! These are QY70 sounds! This is a masterpiece!

[@franklucas9313]

fantastic job getting that complete song in there wow!

[@fernandohuarhuacheberrocal8026]

excelente

[@ten991]

Sensational! Very musical! Really great mood, somewhat nostalgic, I like it very much. You are a very gifted musician. Thanks for your nice music, the instrumental polyphony in the background (sequencer) and the colours merging in the big reverb, all this is enthralling. Best greetings from Central Europe :-)

[@0e0]

i made a really good children cover with the yamaha cs1x in the 90s. this one you did here sounds great!

[@gustavoleiva6823]

Brillante interpretación, solo Robert Miles la hubiera podido interpretar. Thank you!!

[@6581punk]

I had this MIDI file years ago, played it with my DB50XG and then later the SW1000XG. Was awesome.

[@acemcjack]

I still have the MIDI file. Used to play it on my Yamaha SW60XG card. :)

[@bwest6275]

Beautiful. RIP Robert 😥

[@MarshalArnold]

Top job, if it wasn't for the drums I'd say this sounds damn near just like the original. Awesome work!

[@starlost1801]

Excellent Work

[@blackdesert]

Amazing control over your machine! excellent!!

[@khawk2012]

Awesome. I bought a QY20 when it first came out. Bought another 20 years later and both I think burned out when I plugged them to a casio.. 😪

[@scheichi2000]

Please, more QY-70 Videos!

[@TijuanaBorderJumper]

Can you imagine if a great composer like J S Bach could do with that little machine. This is quite impressive.

[@konnykontant]

He'd run out of polyphony rather quick and yell "Scheisse!!! Zhe low polyphony iz holding me Bach!" He'd Throw his wig on the floor stomping it for a minute, fix his attire and storm out of the room like a diva. I mean, that's how I picture it.

[@firstandlast4415]

Bach was familiar with Stylophone and composed a limited number of variations however eat fish on a Friday so therefore he couldn't attend his beans and eat fluff instead.

[@anilmacwan]

We have many composers today that are as good as JS Bach.

[@Ney-Music]

MARAVILLOSO el mejor cover que he escuchado

[@nurnachman]

good job!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@xcryosonx]

Beautiful masterpiece.. Can;t believe you did it on here! :D

[@ursimon]

lovely sound, amazing skill

[@flamethrower82]

I ran this through Shazam, and that is a PERFECT replica of the track!!!! Now I want the synth!!

[@AJC19811]

Not a synth it’s midi sequencer

[@UKViking]

Andrew Crump well actually it’s both. It has general midi sounds

[@DJKnyazevich]

Я не на шутку поражён. Какое звучание!!!

[@ambema1]

Super!! Sounds awesome ❤

[@op-1g.s]

The good 90s stuff. Dope presentation. 👍🏽

[@wdsyalyn]

very impressive. this thing looks like an underatted piece of gear history

[@stationofdreams8242]

Watching you perform this gives you the credibility you need unlike the person who made his version on MC 303 who only shows a picture of the machine but doesn't show us him making the song. It's okay for people to say they don't make fakes but unless you show us like you have on this one, then its always difficult to believe somebody when they make a song that sounds so like the original. Well done :)

[@XHALE303]

I know the MC303 version, & all sounds came for shure from the MC just not from its sequencer But u act like this vid wasnt edited/playbacked, not saying its fake, but it proves nothing :)

[@kh884488]

I've got a QY-100 - if they could allow for saving MIDI files on an SD card, make the keyboard touch sensitive and modrenize some of the sounds, I'd get the updated model. On the Qy-100, about 30% of the sounds are good, 30% are OK and about 40% are terrible -- mainly the sound effects. Overall though, it's a great, portable studio.

[@KUPPSKAGNEY]

Brilliant. Wish I still had mine.

[@hanomagallrad9597]

nice one! subscribed!

[@AlfonxB]

Awesome! You have done an excellent job 👌 My brother just bought one. I am really excited to hear some stuff now 🔊🎶☺️

Thanks a lot!

[@laurentparnel9966]

Très beau travail, on dirait l original, dommage qu il n y ait pas d autres vidéos...

[@alecuratolo]

WOWOOOO congratulations mate...very close to the original one.....

[@chent]

Awesome! That sound realy good.

[@armandomojitomoriciperez7357]

Bestial!!! Presque aucune difference avec l original...trop fort

[@dreikelvin]

there is no way you can play these tremolo notes on a QY70 like at 6:07. you still make a great finger model!

[@datadonascimento]

i hear no tremolo.. only an arpeggio

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

Simply perfect! Good job!

[@Projacked1]

woah, that is really good.

How long did it take you to put that all together? Great accomplishment in any case, but I'm curious.

[@geloumaineimis2340]

you are a master! nice tune

[@WaterfallEnthusiast43]

are you serious I need one these. this is so sick

[@williamkindred1441]

Ben you can use a midi controller with the qy 70

[@gameon2000]

Yes, I recorded the whole album with it, while lying in the hospital in 2003. This little thing is that good!

[@stationofdreams1241]

Impressive production. well done.

[@SamplingPercussion]

Robert Miles used a Korg 01/W and Roland JD800 for the real version. No way this came out of that little Yamaha QY. I'm not buying it.

[@japoltube]

and I've heard it was Yamaha QS 300 , which has the same sound engine

[@joorchampi3346]

Robert used a kurzweil k 2000.........

[@anmitsustereo]

Nice control !! QY70.

[@natto0021]

anmitsustereo Thanks!!

[@Jesiahjesiah]

incredible work! can the qy70 import projects? because this would be so fun to see how the full song was tracked out... might have to dig up my ol' unit 😅

Really? I have one too and I never used it again after trying to program 10%of a track.

You could play me this or the original and i'd be happy either way

[@MrFedy1996]

How have you recorded the "variations of cut off" at 2:28? I also have a qy70 but it doesn't seem to let me record the various changing effects

[@roseclouds]

Sounds really nice! Are these sounds all built in on the QY70?

[@natto0021]

YES, of course !

[@roseclouds]

@@natto0021 Awesome!!! Sounds great-Love this tune and a great recreation on your part :)

[@B1SCOOP]

Is this better suited as a groovebox, or master sequencer for live rig?

[@LiquidAge]

Fucking awesome man

Are all these sounds coming out of this machine?

Nathan Coleman yes

[@MasleyVystupoe]

No

ofc yes, yamaha 16bit state of the art XG sound engine !!!

Thought it sounded exactly like the record until the drums/bass kicked in. Song isn't my cuppa but great job though.
