MiMa feat. Van Halen - I'll Wait

"And now time for another great Van Halen keyboard song. A special thank goes to user Synthartist69 and his video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYeNj4... which instructed me on how to play that song.

A note on the bassline: it's different from the original one, but it's a mine choice.

The sound comes from The JP8000, which it's being played thru my good old Roland Juno 106, acting as MIDI controller.

Unfortunately my Juno is now suffering for dead voice chips, so it cannot sing in this video at that time.

The patch being used here it's the regular, used and abused 2-oscillators detuned sawtooth sound that you find in tons of songs out there. I've added some filter envelope in order to have a fast raising attack and slow decay, as you can hear in the synth line of the original song, and a little touch of resonance for making the sound a bit brighter.

Sorry for my not-the-best keyboard skills :-P. Any comment or criticism, while being constructive, it's really appreciated. Enjoy and thanks!"

MiMa feat. Liquido - Narcotic


"Here is my rendition of the famous tune from Liquido. I've done a simple all-keyboard arrangement, and I've found that my Roland JP8000 can do the original sound pretty close.

The JP8000 it's being played thru my good old Roland Juno 106, acting as MIDI controller (as done in my Jump! video with the Yamaha SY77 controlling the Korg N5).

Unfortunately my Juno is now suffering for dead voice chips, so it cannot sing in this video at that time.
For those which own the JP8000 out there, the sound it's obtained from a 2 osc patch made by a SuperSaw oscillator, with detune slider at 1/3 and mix slider to its maximum (OSC1), stacked on a regular saw oscillator transposed 1 octave down the first one (OSC2). Do a little detune to OSC2 to widen more the sound and balance the two oscillators in order to have the OSC1's volume a little bit higher than OSC2, and you've done the business.
