Synthmania quick tip #16 - Crystal Waters' ''Gypsy Woman'' organ pattern

Showing the organ line of a wonderful House tune from my youth - Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman". I see myself as a bit of "synthesizer historian" and over the years I compile lists when I recognize certain sounds in songs. Here's a very partial list of how popular this patch was with the House music of the era, and beyond:
Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman
Datura - Mystic Motion
Livin Joy - Don't stop Movin'
Robin S "Show Me Love"
Playahitty - The Summer Is Magic [Remix]
Cappella - I Need Your Love
Tanya Louise - Deep In You
T-Spoon - Rockstar
Alex Party - Read My Lips
Hysteric Ego - Want Love
Whigfield - Gimmie Gimmie
George Morel ft. Heather Wildman - Let´s Groove
Kuva feat. Beverli Skeete - Isn't It Time
Alex Party: "Alex Party (Saturday Night Party)" Also CZ organ
Double You - Please Don't Go cover
49ers - Touch me (also 909 and sampled vocals)
Jaydee - Plastic Dreams
and a lot, a lot more songs used the M1 organ sound.

[@NamxZero]

It sounds just like the song the sheer amount of detail you picked up on and executed in order to replicate the sound is just incredible, and I've learned so much from this video alone wow

[@Thevamp1reking]

NamxZero it’s not a hard melody to copy

[@seezy4]

charles thomas yeah lmao its just a few simple chords

[@superE1113z]

The cool part about all this is that the piano and organ sounds of Gypsy Woman are actually factory preset sound patches on the synthesizer he’s using: the great Korg M1. Got one for Christmas a couple months ago, I’m still crying. 🥹 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lighterwaves5659]

2:42 When it ends with the low notes instead of the high notes it sounds soooo good

[@LokoTheChannel]

KORG M1 the holy grail of the 90s :)

[@djdigital3806]

Don't forget the mighty Krog Wavestation.

[@pHiLKizer]

Early 90s: Korg M1 Late 90s: Korg Triton

[@LokoTheChannel]

@@pHiLKizer Yes!

[@paolosisi7487]

@@pHiLKizer Triton is the last upgrade of a milestone, the Trinity. In 90's another big synth is the T3, basically a upgrade of M1. To be right: M1 -> T3, Trinity -> Triton. Just the Z1 was the "ugly duckly" of late 90's synths, strange but extremely powerful

[@lowfirepierce]

I'd love to see you break down more early 90s house tracks

You nailed it. A lot of videos get this wrong! Great work.

This is the most accurate tutorial on KZbin.

[@Aardcore]

My daughter is gonna freak out when she hears me playing this now that this video has taught me how. She loves this song and sings it every day just before dropping her off to school. Thank you so much, SynthMania!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank *you for watching! I'm about to post another quick tip with the organ part for Haddaway's "What Is Love", similar era -

[@alwayscurious413]

Truly wonderful - whoever came up with those chords is a genius. Super tutorial.

[@deckofcards87]

I love hearing that main organ sound to this day. Incredibly smooth.

[@comixdiscomix]

YES!! This is one of my all time favorite organ patterns 🎉💖

[@MrDanoman812]

Wow... mine too...!!!

[@synthartist69]

Funny to see you playing this style of music as you mostly play 80's Ital disco...... sounds great!

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

synthartist69 Hes a multi genre badboy beleive !!!!!

[@synthartist69]

He's a badass.. I have been following him before KZbin!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Hi, synthartist69, thank you, I actually play and enjoy a lot of music genres, not mostly Italo Disco! :-) I'm Italian, and that's perhaps I am associated with Italo Disco, but that's just one genre that I like, because I grew up with it in Italy. A few examples of the many other genres I do: Punk kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWln4mejJuUjNU House kzbin.info/www/bejne/hovOgqCYfNmYoJI Deep House kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4Owd5SEaNdsrMU Dream Pop kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZqseJqHnrt7i5o Shoegaze kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpCVoaylm9ibjbs Jazzy organ kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=hfSa4XYfuis New Age kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIuVkGqMfb-BpM0 Electro House kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7OapysqpyasNk Lounge/Space Age kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6uolp-jgt-eqsk '70s electronic kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6i7haxnasmqmKM Ambient kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnfGpJqOaZmUmc0 '80s Funk kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHKlq4edabJ6ebM and a lot more.... by going into the history of videos.

А когда будет тема евроденса 1990-х?

[@OmarGarcia-zx2yl]

Me listening the beginning of the video with earphones: Why is it s p i n i n g

[@steo.c]

Thanks for this. That C7 dim9 (jazzy) chord which has the C# in it is wrong in so many other tutorials, and the C# is either a C or D in those. I knew C# sounded correct and in this video it's extremely clear that it is. Nicely explained also. I was also trying to understand how that could make sense from a theoretical point of view, but I guess it just passes through from D, C# (accidental) then C, and it seems to just resolve itself back to D minor. It's a really cool chord in the context and works so well.

[@osella77]

Great patern. One of my favourite dance themes. You make It so easy.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you for watching!

[@shephrd]

Some other video tutorials on KZbin missed a few notes or got some notes wrong from this track or didn't have exactly the right patch with the right edits. This dude got everything 100% correct!

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

I didn't know the M1 had the sound. This is a very accurate chord tutorial on this progression.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you very much

[@stigonutube]

yes definitely agree with SynthMania i also remember this song playing at clubs a lot in australia in the 90s

[@mikeanthony718]

This is my first time, watching this.. I can't believe I was able to play this by ear, when i first heard it..

[@JigglyRuff]

I used to mess around on the korg M1 when I was a kid back in the 90s as we had them at school.

[@TransistorBased]

After selling my M1, I got the VST and it's amazing. I sampled the organ dry into my Fantom so I could play this. Then I just add chorus/reverb to approximate the original. It does a great job of filling that hole in my sound capabilities

[@motocatz87]

I love this song! And love Crystal Waters!!

Thank You so much for this tutorial, just going off of ear I thought I'd never figure out what seems to sound like a CRAZZZZY pattern. However after watching this vid I realized I was very familiar with all of those chords. A little bit of an odd voicing on a couple chords, but even still I was familiar with all of them. I really do appreciate you taking the time to post.this. I know I would never.be.able to learn it just from listening to it. You saved me so much time with.this lesson..TY again. 🎹 🎵

I'm wondering how they even came up with this chord progression. I can only assume talented people who "know" what they're doing and just kind of "experimenting" on the keyboard.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Absolutly brilliant , myself and a freind who you actually may know from uk , Owen (Hattrixx) had a lot debate about this a few years ago. Top marks on this vid .

Thank you! I'm happy if I can be of help

[@PastTime777]

I still have a Korg 01W/FD and a Hammond XK-2 that is my main gigging rig, in perfect condition. Amazing to see the patterns broken down and the patches used. The organ patches on the O1W and other synths can sound "electronic" compared to the Hammond, but they are good. You also have to take into account the effects processing and mixing. For example, on my Hammond XK-2, I now run it through a Neo Ventilator 2 which gives it a great Leslie sound.
