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.
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.
I believe I've spent enough time to understand the MS20 so I'm finding it very hard to believe all of these sounds were made with the native EGs and LFO. The only way I could see this being possible without external modulation is by recording things at half the speed and speeding them up within a DAW. However you did it, the final product is extremely impressive with surgical precision.
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.
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.
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.

Loved all your Richard recreations, sadly you are not doing them any more
The Ultimate Example of Proving that the MS20 mini is an Amazing Sounding Synth ❤❤❤🎉😊😊

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 !!!

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

You've got so many machines asuka
3:53 always gives me a goosebumps

Damn, good job!
Back here just to listen to this masterpiece again, you're insane.
Really really great cover!
u just gotta love some aphex acid
3:27 this section sounds amazing!
Самое то для Нового года и Рождества
absolutely gorgeous
This an amazing cover holy crap!
Dude this is MASSIVE
This is incredible 👏🔥

Hell yeah dude, nice job!
This is great
HOLY S@/T !!!! A F#@KING MASTERPIECE !!!! 🤯🤯😯😲😯😲😋🤤😛👍
Well done, Sir 😎 Level Master 👍 Greetings from Skynet robo boys 🤖
coooooooooooooooool
Really nice!
Ur so slay for this
very slay!!
Bonkers. So good.
Amazing!
Sick as frick
Coool
Fucking insane
Great cover!
This version of the track is better than the original, imho.
NO WAY!!!!
very very cool
duckig amazing!!
these are my fav covers . aaaaaaAAAArghet'S HAVE SOME AFX ACID
Tasty
Crazy 👏
Sublime sir
cool
Good work.
FUCK YEAH
se tem asuka, tem like 👍
epic
Come back man!!
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
I believe he used an old piano/piano sample for the lead in the first break. But regardless love ur remake.
0:16 - 0:32 gulp..
Dude you deserve way more subscribers than this.
How.
please reuploud velokitty's cover on squarepusher
very cool, gonna try this on my ms20! Also, ID on that figure?

@@neonblack211 yes i know but what brand?
@@idc_aqw oh
Patch notes for rubbery synth? lol

ms20 is such a wide synth
