Boards of Canada - roygbiv - DAWless hardware only cover/recreation

- As requested, I think?
roygbiv by Scotland's finest duo since The Krankies, Boards of Canada - taken from their 1998 masterpiece 'Music Has The Right To Children'
BoC seem to be pretty secretive about all of their gear... I always think of them as the Wes Anderson of IDM - you can spot a WA film just from the look and feel, rather than knowing what camera, lens or film-stock it was shot on, and for me BoC is similarly about evoking a mood and feel rather than what gear was used... however if you're watching this you're probably a synth nerd, so speculate away!!
Huge, huge props to @Psilocy-ben for spotting the trill from the same 'lake' scene 👍👍
I find it unlikely they'd be using something as digital as a Nord or the R8, however a sampler is pretty much essential along with a copy of Sesame Street... I also don't have an SH-101 (or Behringer version) but have owned the Moog for years so it's doing the analogue monosynth duties. All sequenced either on the R8 or the MC50. One reason for doing it that way is the R8 has swing/shuffle, whereas the MC50 does not 🤓

Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for watching and engaging!
Hoping that these videos are vaguely useful/inspiring in some way... I've got a bit of a list coming together, but if there's something you want to see from the era covered, or a tutorial on a particular bit of kit I'm using, please shout below!
🎹😎✌
I'm actually learning quite a lot and I'm already seeing a bunch of stuff I can use for my own music. Are you planning on doing stuff from another era? I think some Oneohtrix Point Never tracks would be cool
Nil by Autechre would be an amazing cover :)
Thank you so much for making this! LEGENDARY.. LOVE IT 1 1 1 1
Why would you want to copy this heavily contrived music?

😂😂
thank you for this
That's a anal 2x.
Mmmm
@@belialdc834 you had to be there ;)
As a huge Boards fan, one thing I would want more than anything is for the boys to review this video on camera and give their reaction
😂😂 The internet might explode at that point...
even before social media you could barely get them to appear anywhere 😂
It wouldn't be BOC anymore if they had a stupid you tube channel or god forbid an Instagram account!
Or a BOC Twitter account? Can you imagine that?
All life would be sucked out of the universe, like an auto black hole or something.
Sorry for all the effort, nice video, but the end result has no BOC vibes whatsoever...
Nice to see the old s3000 little waveforms again, it makes me nostalgic
😂
This is quickly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel.
Thank you!!
^
very true
Same here! How about some B12 next?
it's incredible hearing all the little slices at the start and then slowly hearing the song come together.. when the swing gets enabled on the sequencer my face just lit up I was like "there it is". very very cool stuff
Thanks so much!
Hi
So good. I originally heard MHARTC in early 1999. My roommate at the time bought it on vinyl and he was at work one night, so I decided to give it a listen. I have no idea how he had heard of BOC, but it really did change my life and this is by far my favorite song. The fact that it’s so short just leaves you wanting more.
their intentions with having you want more are so deliberate its great
This was so awesome!
Please do "Everything You Do Is a Balloon" next
9:04 holy crap that gave me chills when it all came together
😎🤟
This was like magic to watch. Never knew the vocal sample was from Sesame Street, actually made me giggle a bit at how fitting it was. Thanks for making this!
Thanks for watching!
i love how you cheekily left the most overrepresented part for last,was thinking "but what about his take on the *bass* ???hes gonna do the bass now right??" after each completed part. great video
Thanks! Had to save the best bit until last... 😁😁
This is an amazing cover!! And it's really interesting to see your setup and how you put it together. I look forward to watching more.
Thanks! More on the way!!
When you hit the note at 8:40.... I was like "YES!"
😁👍
So good that “now playing” on my android phone recognised it as roygbiv
🙏 job done!
This is how you make great music. You maximize the equipment you have to it’s fullest potential so it becomes an extension of you and what you like.
@petetestube2904 use em if you got em
The Dr Mix vibrato clip had me in stitches. 🤣
The guy's a legend 😎🎹
Excellent work. Also demonstrates something essential about peak BoC: they had incredibly chords and melodies! It's funny how even with more electronic or experimental work, this basic component of music often remains...
Such a good point. Melodies in Melissa Juice, Iced Cooley are such good Melodies played on any instrument. It’s amazing how hard it can be to create a simple melody like boc does
Sitting here having just watched Alberto Balsam vid with my girl as our daily decompressor and then I was like "You know what would be fun, if we went and watched a ROYGBIV cover." Although I was aiming for the one I used to watch before I'd go torture the showroom at Sweetwater, I am so happy that I watched yours and was honestly blown away that it was uploaded today.
Thank you!!
Wow! Nice job. It all came together surprisingly well.
Thankyou!!
Your edits are hilarious and your ability to break down and demonstrate every element in easy to understand ways is honestly incredible
Thank you!!
Fascinating. So this is what it was like making electronic music back in the pre-DAW days
100% cassette tape and floppy disks!
16 megabytes on that beast! I started on the S1000 with 2 megabytes, and resonant filter!
No idea they used samples for the piano. Madness. Impressive.
Thanks!
One of my fav Boards of Canada songs. You nailed it Ben, well done! The Sub 37 sure does have nasty good bass.
It's a beast! 😎🤟

this is the type of shit i've always wanted. people showing the process of transforming the samples
8:25 once that low pass filter hit, the bass was sounding like the first note in Jake Chudnow's song "Flan" (The Vsauce outro music)
👍👍 There a lot to be said for a pwm wave through a low pass filter!
Amazing cover, you have an amazing talent for these recreations. That bass sound is spot on - over-the-top PWM tamed by a filter - going to be playing with that sound non-stop now.
the divide-down Roland sub osc is the clincher. There's no faking it.
Seriously brilliant work on this classic !
🙏 Thank you!
the synth that only appears once is my favourite... just a little guy
🙏🙏🙏 And yet without it, you'd feel something was missing...
Amazing! Really love this channel, and the touches of humour you put in the video.
When I saw Dr. Mix I literally thought “Well now the only thing this video is missing is Nick Batt” and lo and behold two seconds later he appeared before me.
😁 He is the omnipresent PWM overlord after all....
Dude Thank You! i ve been rewatching the aphex videos on repeat and now you come through with one of my all time favorite bands from one of my favorite albums!
I like it, really gives a good breakdown of everything going on
Thanks!!
I have resisted watching samples of boc vids, but I enjoy your hardware vids. I was surprised by it, well done man and thanks. I'm impressed by the sampling work. You keep doing my favourite songs! cheers!
You manage to capture the thrill of the whole thing coming together so well.
What an incredible and faithful recreation! So impressive!
These videos are just ace! All my favourite tracks built from scratch. Kudos!
Mind blown
Thanks 🙏
Really nice breakdown. I like how you edited it as well!
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you.
absoultly love your doing this stuff keep it up!!
Sick vid and sounds great too! The only thing that really stuck out to me was the length of the "lake" flute sample fading out too quickly but other than that its pretty much perfect 😀
🙏🙏 Thanks!
Wow, so cool to watch the breakdown of such an amazing song. That’s a lot of work. Truly shows the genius of BoC. Nice work here!!
Thanks!
Really cool video, as a novice in music production I had no idea that much work went into making that sound on roygbiv! You recreated it amazingly well, thanks for showing us all your equipment
Great idea and implementation, I have been looking for remakes of boards of canada for several years! Thanks for it)
Awesome work. Extra props for using the old and trusty R8. You nailed the sound of the song. Now looking forward to see more of your videos. Greetings from Spain!!!
R8 is badass!!!! I’d take a TR8s over it, but the R8 is still an amazing drum machine.
So amazing. Well done and thanks for sharing.
So cool dude
Thank you! 💪😎
Wow that was great! I appreciate your demonstration of how the sounds were shaped. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much!
Thanks So much Dr. MIX for this Brillant Solo Synth ;) ! ! !
Really Good Work Guys * Thanks for this and the Legendary BoC
😂😂
Unbelievable stuff! Could only dream at having the talent to do this!
Incredible!!! Loved every second. 🙏🏻♥️
This was straight lit. Super impressive
This is absolutely amazing
Love this channel. Keep it up brother 💯
Thanks for making these amazing demonstration videos! I love what you do! It's really impressive to see these compositions come alive on hardware and intuition alone. You have skills! 'so cool! God bless you.👍
Thank you very much!

Genius!! This is awesome!
Thank you!
Awesome job! Super cool. Thanks for the shoutout regarding finding the trill sample
Incredible detective work!

Thank you!
Amazing work!! 👏👏👏Thanks so much! Now I know why early BOC really puts one in that phantasmagorical childhood headspace - Sesame Street 😂
Very well done! I wish I had that many patient... ;-) and the skills !

Thank you so much!
Fantastic! So well done man. Congrats!

Welcome!!!
This is amazing. Thx
Thank you!
the build up to the biggest goofiest cheesiest smile by the end was worth all 11 minutes
🙏🙏 Thank you!
This is damn near god tier level work. Well done!
ayo what the hell for some reasons i assumed this was an older channel i just stumbled upon. then i check out for more content and there’s only 4 videos posted?! cmon keep it up, this is amazingly educational and so much fun!
😁😁 tbf I set the channel up last year so I had somewhere to post random synth jams, and now the covers seem to be taking on a life of their own...
that was amazing!!
Stellar work.
😎👍 Thankyou!
Another awesome cover, can’t wait to see what is next. The piano sound at the start is really good, I always thought it was something BoC played themselves rather than a sample, although it could very much be, wonder if anyone knows what it is.
Aquarius Hardware would be awesome!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Another absolutely fantastic video man! Not sure if you are a FSOL fan but would love to hear your take on some cuts from the ISDN album. Pure sampling masters!
♥ FSOL - definitely on the list...!
FSOL unreal. Lifeforms poured out my speakers in 1997 when I was battered on acid
