Synthmania quick tip #18 - The ''Nowhere Land'' gated choir sequenced triplets

[@maestroscuro]

I absolutely love your tutorials! It's like a guided tour of the electronic world of the 80' and 90'!!! Keep it up!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@the3dom]

Nice. Honestly never heard for this tune. This choir 'thing' reminds me on The Age Of Love (Jam & Spoon mix)

[@thedoublek4816]

I don't know why, but the specific combination of that sampled choir sound and the gated pattern has something very special to me and triggers something deep inside. In the very beginning of the video, I've instantly got an xtc flashback for a few seconds. Btw, I was born in the 90s, so I didn't rave to the music of its time back then.

[@pascal67330]

Merci beaucoup pour toutes vos vidéos, nous les regardons avec grand plaisir ici en France et nous apprenons aussi beaucoup de choses, merci merci merci

[@JoriDiculous]

Gating is fun. Used it a lot in software (mostly 'trackers') on all kinds of instruments and vocals (samples). Might have been slightly overused in early 90's techno and trance, but still a fun trick to play around with.

[@pabloplato]

you've been doing so many tracks from my childhood!!! i love it! keep up the great work :)

[@alanip]

Excellent tips and demo, bought a DS201 because of you :) Lots of fun. Big thank you!

[@dutchmenneer3289]

I was a really big fan of this kind of dance music

[@Romper_Stomper]

For this I used always MIDI-Gates (MIDI Controller Number 7 --> Volume On/Off). 🙂

[@RaveyStabs]

Yep me too but never quite going to off (prevented clicks). Definately dont need this much outboard to do it!

[@heikkiwi]

Sometimes there were problems with Midi timing. (Midi channel was too busy providing all the note data and volume data etc..) I used a Yamaha TX81Z to give gate trigger to Yamaha 01V or 02R mixer's gate. By doing that I had better timing and possibility to adjust gate parameters like attack and release.

[@dayglo98]

Didnt even know the original but that sounds amazing !

[@itimmy101]

Legend b- Lost in love does the same concept!

[@Deznoites]

holy shit this sounds amazing! remaster please and thank you

[@chenguefer156]

Very interesting and good to know it. Never ending story reminds me of Limahl theme and of course Giorgio Moroder and in the same year, from Giorgio Moroder the song Love Kills (Freddie Mercury), both songs have some complex arpeggios, more notably in Love Kills it seems to be played two or three arpeggios at the same time (probably with Jupiter 8?), it would be nice if one day you could make a "dissecction" of that theme from Metropolis soundtrack. Thank you and have a nice weekend!.

[@Colaholiker]

*throws his hands up in the air* *goes berserk* Wooo-hooo!

[@synthtools]

Awesome !! Like in the good old times !!

[@bernyboss]

This channel is the best in the 🌎! Grazie Paolooooo 🎉🎉🎉

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@pizzagogo6151]

Hi Paolo if you ever felt like doing anymore Clubhouse could you please do the piano & organ part of Clubhouse- light my fire! Thats one of my favorite eurodance songs!

[@iMiamiChannel]

Can you reproduce modern talkings You're my heart, You're my Soul? Since they used a prophet5 and you have one as well.

[@samithmordraus20]

Love me some synthmania

[@doggerproductions]

Legend is thee arl pablo😊

[@paulcopping1659]

that was great thank you very much!!

[@tunnis7us]

great as usually :)

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Thanks for this really useful!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank *you for watching!

[@SpoonerUK]

Dear Mr Varaldo, thanks very much for this tip. I'd always wondered how this was done in the past, on so many house/rave/techno songs. Now I understand a little clearer how you get to the end result, but a couple of questions if I may. 1) How is the 909 connected to the Drawmer? Is it just the instrument (or main outs) into the gate, or is it the trigger out? Could you give a little more detail on how the 909 and the Korg are connected up? 2) Can a modern gate achieve the same result, such as a DBX 166XS ? Thanks!

[@mikosoft]

To be precise these are not triplets. These are staccato 16ths.

[@stefan1024]

If you play them sloppy enough, they are!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Yes, but how do you name the technique, "staccato 16ths"? No. The fourth note in the 16th pattern never plays in any of the beats. So it's a bit of a hack, but I think it's more accurately descriptive, that way.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Right! :-D

[@xp50player]

Any group of three notes does not make a triplet, lol. The choir sound is righteous though. I miss my 01/Wfd now.

[@meg4201]

In the original it sounds like the final note in the gate sequence is open (keeps playing), while in your version it's staccato.

[@scorinth]

Ribbity Rabbity I would chalk that up to a difference in the gate settings closing the gate earlier or later in the hi-hat "tail".

[@punlovincriminal5564]

Hello there. Love your work, keep it up!!. I was wandering if you think there is any noticeable differences between the juno 6 and the juno 60?. I only ask because I have a juno 6 but was thinking of changing to a 60.

[@RonnieAugeri]

The only difference is the high pass filter of the 60 is notched while the 6 is a continuous fader. The 60 obviously has patch memory as well. Sound wise they are identical so I would opt for the 60 as this synth has a vast pallet of sounds and it's nice to save them.

[@RonnieAugeri]

Plus the 60 has the dcb built into it so you can adapt it to midi.

[@KarimLeMec]

I ever thought it was taken from a Korg M1 instead an 01/W .. ( I own both :) )

[@pekkagronfors7304]

Nice but a bit unclear. How are the gate connected? Is the sound coming from the synth through the gate??? Or from the synth alone??

[@JoriDiculous]

The gate is "opening" and "closing" the sound from the synth, the rhythm triggered by the 909.

[@Zeisslermusic]

Wow cool

[@MrPiratebrain]

Nice I loved that video

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you!

[@evgenycostygin9333]

Hi, Paolo! Please tell me, how is this hard distinctive sound of the bass drum "Eurodance" a La La bouch, ice MC, Masterboy and others?

[@DuckTronic]

On the Sample CD "Dance Mega Drums" from Best Service you can find "BASSDRUM096". For me it sounds exactly like "La Bouche - Sweet Dreams" or "Charly L. & Mental T. - Wonderful Days". And it is close to Masterboy, but not exactly.

[@billykatsoulakis8258]

Hey I've subscribed to your channel and watched most of your videos.. I've been a dj since the late 80's and im looking to start making music... What equipment do u suggest I start off with ? Thank you again in advance..

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Hi, Billy, since you have a DJ background, I'd suggest Ableton Live or Image Line FL Studio. Those two DAWs are widely used in modern electronic / DJ music. Then, all you need is a 2-channel USB audio interface, a couple of studio monitors (and/or good quality mix / reference headphones), a couple of cables to connect the audio interface to the monitors, and a modern USB & MIDI 61-key keyboard controller (better if it has control knobs and MPC-style drum pads). And you might want to add a sustain pedal to the keyboard as well.

[@billykatsoulakis8258]

SynthMania Thank you... So I'll keep you posted But so far I own Ableton Live 9 with push and I've been drooling over your synths because I love that old school sound... Know what I mean? Anyhow thank you again for the advice And keep up with these great videos....

[@OdedManor]

1:17 should be Eb, not Bb

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Yes, I noticed after I uploaded it, I'll correct

[@elephantricity]

sounds like the never ending story song.

[@lesterrr12312]

..because it is!))

[@bepowerification]

well.. he mentions it 35 seconds into the video. ADHD? ;)

[@SeverityOne]

It's called "Flug auf dem Glücksdrachen". Yes, I have the original soundtrack on CD. Klaus Doldinger is a seriously good composer. Maybe another idea for Paolo, of his quick tips: "Das Boot" (Titles).

[@asdifasi]

Paolo please make a tutorial of connecting the drum machine the gate and thesynth together

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Already done kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6eteZ-oqaihaKc

[@becatti2001]

Never ending story sound?

[@8670pablo]

como se llama la music's del final

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

"The Rose" - by Bette Midler

[@lotharmusic3018]

senza canzone!

[@Wazoox]

Hum, not a B flat, actually that's an E flat major chord you're playing! F, C, Gm, Eb!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

A guy below already pointed it out. Read the other people's comments before posting, please. Tiredness, I did notice after uploading, I'll fix

[@OIPARADIES]

Could you please show us how to make "old school" 90s Techno like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKjMkmOnpLBjqcU or kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2LIpIRrrNagl6s or kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2GnhaGqnc6nntE I absolutely love this type of (mostly german) oldschool Techno.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Sure- I'll put it on the to-do list

[@OIPARADIES]

Best Man ! ;-)
