Oh man I’ve been searching for these vids every now and then hoping they’d come back online. Definitely in the top 1% of synth videos on TH-cam in terms of quality and performance.
Shouldn't this video have hundreds of thousands (millions?) of views? THIS IS BONKERS. I have so many questions. Are all the non-drum sounds from the MS20? Did he create a bespoke MIDI map of this entire song? The timing, pitch, bend, components are so scarily accurate I almost believe he has access to a RDJ hard drive or something. Otherwise, his ear and transposition capabilities are the best I've seen. This is a masterpiece. Love the subtle glitching of the video content, too. Can't say enough good things. This is probably my favorite AT song and to say this is doing it justice is the understatement of this young century.
I enjoyed this very much too, and the main synth lines are programmed damn well, but it's not impossible. drop the song in your DAW. start playing on a keyboard until you figure out the scale and chords he's using. some daws will even do this for you. drums are likely largely from the ms20, with some samples (like the snare in the beginning). but its all multitracked. the ms20 only has one voice and can not simultaneously play all these sound. it can play the baseline, a melody, a drum noise, but not all of them at once. it is being recorded several times over into a computer. the video has very little to do with the actual process of creating these sounds.
you gotta do a breakdown of how you did this. so impressive. DC coupled audio interface to send korg voltage range cv? did you record drums onto a hardware sampler or use an audio interface and a computer? was the midi for the chords and lead synths lines already out there or did you use your ear?
this took dozens of takes. he made drum sounds one by one, recorded them into his computer and then had his computer play back those samples. the synth/lead parts would also be done one by one as well in short takes as he would have had to manually modulate or use cv to modulate everything because the ms20 mini (the synth being used) has super basic midi functionality. I don't think it accepts velocity even. the midi just does what cv and gate would do -- pitch value and note on/off.
@@neonblack211 notes are most likely midi but none of the front panel control is addressable through midi, ms20 mini doesn't even have pitch bend or velocity over midi... my guess is he has a DC coupled audio interface and he was sending cv to automate all the synth lines. I can't imagine doing all those quick filter adjustments and pitch bends by hand. would be super interested for the OP to hop in and educate us.
Well done. I'm always impressed/puzzled by someone who can detect vey subtle/complex stuff but just...the fact that you're doing a cover is an odd choice.
The outstanding amount of time this must have taken shows that šonobi is almost as crazy as AFX himself. People underrate how much effort some electronic musicians put into making each sound. You'd think it'd've gotten better with the way the 'net has opened up how it works, but instead you see all these quick hack producer vids that can make things fast to hit a lowest common denominator. tl;dr? This is the real shizz right here.

masterpiece example of studying Aphex Twin's music. Hat's down the best recreation of this gem!

Indeed, Can't understand how you can figure out all the notes from different instruments in 1 large track like this. It is just so insanely good!
Unbelievably talented !!!!!!
❤ my MS20 !!!

Loved all your Richard recreations, sadly you are not doing them any more
absolutely gorgeous
Back here just to listen to this masterpiece again, you're insane.

duckig amazing!!
Ur so slay for this
NO WAY!!!!
Tasty
Fucking insane
Amazing - where any of these riffs being modulated by MIDI or just as the panel displays (when not physically knob twiddling)?

@@Rainersherwood my bad im not that familair with the ms20
FUCK YEAH
0:16 - 0:32 gulp..
This version of the track is better than the original, imho.
I believe he used an old piano/piano sample for the lead in the first break. But regardless love ur remake.
se tem asuka, tem like 👍
please reuploud velokitty's cover on squarepusher
How.
Dude you deserve way more subscribers than this.
Patch notes for rubbery synth? lol
very cool, gonna try this on my ms20! Also, ID on that figure?

@@neonblack211 yes i know but what brand?
@@idc_aqw oh
ms20 is such a wide synth
ja pierdole
