- 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.

2:37 leaving this here to repeat :-)
I wish there was just this part somewhere
More like 2:36

2:42 When it ends with the low notes instead of the high notes it sounds soooo good
KORG M1 the holy grail of the 90s :)
Don't forget the mighty Krog Wavestation.
Early 90s: Korg M1
Late 90s: Korg Triton
@@pHiLKizer Yes!
@@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
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
NamxZero it’s not a hard melody to copy
charles thomas yeah lmao its just a few simple chords
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. 🥹 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Thevamp1reking masterful to create tho
She wakes up early every morning just to do her hair now, cause she cares y’all! Brings me right back to the dance floor...1991
I'd love to see you break down more early 90s house tracks
2:37 absolutely bangers!
🔥
I could listen this riff for years.
same
You nailed it. A lot of videos get this wrong! Great work.
This is the most accurate tutorial on TH-cam.
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!
Thank *you for watching! I'm about to post another quick tip with the organ part for Haddaway's "What Is Love", similar era -
YES!! This is one of my all time favorite organ patterns 🎉💖
Wow... mine too...!!!
I love hearing that main organ sound to this day. Incredibly smooth.
OMG I have been trying to decode this by ear for 25 years. It makes little sense from a classical point of view, but with the breakdown it made much more sense. Except that diminished Csharp with a natural C ??? Thank you :)
Thank *you for watching! That jazzy chords I'm not sure is C sharp. I think it's more like a C like I wrote in the chord names - or the relative A - chord, that plays right bere rightfully resolving back in the D min the song is in. Basically, I think the C# is the extra note in the chord, not the tonic, and the basic tonic is C (or A) instead of the other way around. But as you know, there are so many ways of interpreting chords in music theory. It's all good... if it sounds good.
The C# is an extension that adds extra tension to the C7 chord
In jazz you have complex chords that have one chord in upper part, and other in lower (bass)... that chord is g minor diminished 7 chord (g minor flat 5 and minor 7), but you can put in bass A or C to make it A dominant flat 9 or C dominant flat 9...try to listen that chord like combination of 2 chords, gb5b7 is naturally resolving into F major or parallel d minor from subdominat side, and A dominant or C dominant resolves into d minor or F major from dominant side...so you combine dominant and subdominant chord into one
It's a Db actually, making it a C7b9 chord -> it's a ii/V in F, going back to Dm ^^
I liked the little story you gave about you remembering the song being played a lot while you were in Europe. I love how we'll always have one specific memory to each song we'll listen to in our lives.
The complete breakdown of the song, the patch, the keys ... Pure genius! - How could I not like, sub and share!
I miss my M1. I used to love the piano so much. I should have never sold it.
Get the korg legacy VST version! Worth every cent.
Funny to see you playing this style of music as you mostly play 80's Ital disco...... sounds great!
synthartist69 Hes a multi genre badboy beleive !!!!!
He's a badass.. I have been following him before TH-cam!
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 th-cam.com/video/64BnVhW6aVs/w-d-xo.html House th-cam.com/video/PZkQmbGtej0/w-d-xo.html Deep House th-cam.com/video/aRMFaN3r9vc/w-d-xo.html Dream Pop th-cam.com/video/ciIGgQiVHU8/w-d-xo.html Shoegaze th-cam.com/video/d_2pyofshWY/w-d-xo.html Jazzy organ th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=hfSa4XYfuis New Age th-cam.com/video/zZ2_7VHZNnk/w-d-xo.html Electro House th-cam.com/video/C-k9ivu7gzw/w-d-xo.html Lounge/Space Age th-cam.com/video/mzEelmMzktg/w-d-xo.html '70s electronic th-cam.com/video/ywXTy15dwbA/w-d-xo.html Ambient th-cam.com/video/pFcsgX44ack/w-d-xo.html '80s Funk th-cam.com/video/zABzTg4MGCQ/w-d-xo.html and a lot more.... by going into the history of videos. Thanks again!
А когда будет тема евроденса 1990-х?
I didn't know the M1 had the sound. This is a very accurate chord tutorial on this progression.
Some other video tutorials on TH-cam 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!
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.
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
Me listening the beginning of the video with earphones:
Why is it s p i n i n g
You don’t know how happy I am to have come across this video! Can’t thank you enough for sharing ❤️🎼❤️👊🏽
yes definitely agree with SynthMania i also remember this song playing at clubs a lot in australia in the 90s
HOLY SHIT! When he first played that thing I was stunned speechless, all the reverb and bass in every keystroke, such a rich sound!
This is my first time, watching this.. I can't believe I was able to play this by ear, when i first heard it..
This is my jam! Thanks for the breakdown. Odd choice of lyrical content for a club hit but it still bangs to this day!
I used to mess around on the korg M1 when I was a kid back in the 90s as we had them at school.
Yes it done! Everywhere in Italy disc was spin round. When I was a kid can felt jazzy taste but can't appreciate disco groove also for low quality hi fi stuffs spread out. Today I consider this very cool jazzy house hit, deliciuos and a little bit mysterius chord sequence, the Em7 create unexpected tension breaking out monotony. About sound design turn off effects was a right move producer's intuition that's made aseptic sound opposite reverberated drum pattern
This was the most educational video I have ever experienced.....I LOVE THAT SONG
Thank you very much
Dude showing us what chords to play....Me glancing at my monophonic keyboard with a tear slowly rolling down my cheek...😄
I just picked one up for $20 on FB, shit you not.
2:36 I never knew I needed this so frickin much omg
I’ve been looking for a KORG M1 for a while and in my search I came across a KORG 01/Wfd and it’s fantastic. It has all the sounds from the M1 plus many more and I love it.
Thank you for your tutorials 🎹
Phil Grainger what sound is this on the Korg 01-w ??
@@joseovelasquez6264 Prog B-71 or B-72 if I recall correctly. It's exactely this sound as found in the M1.
I'm surprised that he didn't had a copyright strike, this is very accurate!
It does have a copyright claim. Since fair use, it shares the ad revenues.
Great patern. One of my favourite dance themes. You make It so easy.
Thank you for watching!
That's great playing man ! Sounds like the original song. Crystal Waters would be proud! Now, add the beat, and the bass line.
You are a wonderful sayer and player and tomorrow I become my first Roland S550 since 12 years. I know, you know it very well - I also. Tears... Thanks for your work from germany!
Have fun!
Thanks Paolo. That organ line was made for that Korg sound. Great tutorial once again and would be happy to see more step by step lick & sound videos like this!
Thank *you for watching!
Just headbangin my head watching the whole video🔥
I love this song! And love Crystal Waters!!
J'adore ...my favorite track on dancefloor when I was dj
Yes ! This is alot easier, because you show and you say the keys pressed. Going to practice this now on my Yamaha PSR-530 Portatone.
Those 3 keyboards you mentioned pretty much covered the charts for a good few years back then.
I watch a lot of tutorials and this is head and shoulders above all of them, thankyou Paolo and keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thank you!
thanks really benefitting from the very basic explanations,and details on your playing techniques ,thanks!
One of my favourite tracks from back in the day. . Thanks
Jazzy one, miss some more like this.
very nice and of all the video the only one with the right chords i hate when people symplify the chords ...
I remember well that background tune in the beginning of the 90's disco songs, good sound
juan manuel rodriguez it wasn’t 90s disco it was house music
That was good - I never could figure out the Emin7 chord. What makes this song very special after that pattern is that lately bass which gives it a certain drive and its notes are quite akward, might be useful to add them too in a tutorial along with the drum machine which I suspect might be a 909
Torben, yes, I plan to do a full rendition of the whole song at some point. Yes, TR-909 (probably sampled in a sampler) and a few other bits and pieces, a loop from the era, and bass. I have all that stuff on my original sample CDs and will do a video on it
Old skool pumping and thumping..bliss 😎
That poppy green is so beautiful
Great vid! You’d actually call that chord a C7b9. Sounds like it’s a diminished chord when you say it like that! Thanks for this
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 .
Belo tutorial. M1, the most iconic workstation ever! Valeu, brazuca! Teu sotaque não nega. Rs. Abs.
Ele é italiano
Mas o m1 de fato é uma puta máquina e não é tão ultrapassado assim, apesar de 31 anos de lançamento.
@@torybrasileiro3026 Será que ele não é brasileiro/italiano? Anyway, o cara é phoda, assim como o M1. hehe. Abs.
One of the best tutorials of this song that I've come across, really easy to follow! Thank you so much!:)
Glad it was helpful!
It's great your KORG M1.
Great tutorial :-)
By watching it I just realized a couple of errors I did in my video of this song...
Very very good 👍👍
I waited till the end for the 909 to drop in!!! Great work!
the voiceleading makes me drool it's so good
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. 🎹 🎵
Thank you very mach! I van it now playing!
Great video, thank you so much for breaking it down!!!
I made a version of this on my Korg M01 (Nintendo DSi)
Thank you so much for sharing these chords !!! I love this tune since it came out. It-s such a pleasure to play it on my keyboard !! Thank you so much !!
Classic House-eurobeat song
Having just listened to the track on Crystal Waters' Vevo TH-cam channel for reference, I'd say you're pretty spot on. I think they add just a little reverb to it once the rest of the accompaniment comes in though I could be mistaken. I may try programming this in Fruity later just for fun...
I thought I heard a few songs out there with the same synth. I like how you taught how to play this song. I always wondered how it was played. At one time I thought it was a loop that just kept on playing over and over. Now I see how they did that. This was a nice tutorial, but you made me want to listen to the song now. I will visit your site soon. Have a great day.
Thank you. Having fun learning this with my son. 👍
Great to hear!
Buddy i gotta say you truly have those notes down pat! The exact same sound!
Jerome, thank you, I hope they are! ;^)
Logically after this you watch and listen Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I really appreciate you breaking it down the way you did. All the best!!!
Thank you!
Holly Cow!
Grazie!!!!!
Love your tutorials!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!
on point as always, wanted to learn this for years, many thanks.
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.
Your amazing man ! Love how easy you make this look !
Removing the effects .. Unintentional ASMR 👍😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH learned it in 5 mins with your help I'm so stoked.
1991!!! I can feel you in 1991 enjoying this.
Thank you for the tutorial! There was some things I got wrong when learning this myself and you've cleared it up!
Awesome, great demo!
Excellent tutorial, and excellent keyboard.
Thank you!
Ecxellent video. Thanks, man.
My pleasure!
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.
So cool!
Ah, an old mystery finally solved. Thanks a lot!
Love your videos man.
wow , this is reaL acoustic science , love it 🥰
Thanks for listening
Fantastic
Thanks so much for this...had M1 in 1992
I first thought that they did have computer based MIDI sequencers with copy&paste back then, but you really can do this with any equipment.
omg this video is so awesome
👍👍👍it sounds exactly as i want
i love your videos, they really motivate me to do more music and learn how to play a keyboard :-) !
Thank you! I'm happy if I can be of help
This is great! Thank you chief.
You're very welcome, boss!
thanks a lot you kind sir, this is amazing
So nice of you
Love these videos, you're a great host!
