    I've reconstructed Blue Monday about 10 times over the years since 1990 or so, and I have to say this was very impressive. I didn't know that was a Kraftwerk sample!

    • @MrBeen992
      @MrBeen992 8 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      you have "reconstructed" BM for 25 years and you didn't know of the Kraftwerk sample ? ...

    • @mmoncur
      @mmoncur 8 ปีที่แล้ว +60

      I was going to say "well, the internet didn't exist back then so I couldn't easily look it up," but I owned the Kraftwerk album so I really have no excuse.

    • @MrBeen992
      @MrBeen992 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      mmoncur lol, ok. Look for the story of Blue Monday in YT. There you will find many other interesting facts.

      The original sound that Kraftwerk used is from a 60's Mellotron - it's the choir sample...

    • @Dreskiff23
      @Dreskiff23 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      It's actually the vako orchestron not a mellotron

  • @Johngaltsghost
    @Johngaltsghost 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very well done. It may be more accurate to say BM was a link from New Wave/eurodisco to late 80s dance music or maybe techno. However, actual Chicago house music was already underway when this tune was released. Perhaps that influenced them. Definitely not the other way around though.

    @narcoticstate2127 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There's something not quite right about the brass - on the record I think they might have used a delay to create a kind of slapback staccato effect that's missing here... and there's a dirty synth bass part that accompanies the brass that he missed out - otherwise really cool to see it broken down like that... especially impressed that he solved the riddle of the little sequencer mistake...

    Great tutorial! Where can you find the synth clav sample. I've been trying to reconstruct it, also adding some LFO modulation of the frequency cutoff in the filter, but I constructed the sample from scratch using 2 oscillators (1st being a pulse, 2nd being a square that is slightly detuned), with a little FM modulation of the 2nd oscillator by the 1st. I also added a little reverb and flanger in the effects. However, the preset used in this tutorial is closer to the original. I wonder if it is available somewhere.
