This is definitely the most spot on cover on CZcams. It sounds exactly like the real song.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! It was a fun challenge, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome cover. You nailed the tones too! Impressive!
Well done Christian!! Nailed it......... Note for note!!!
Thanks man! Always wanted to play this one since a child. I’m glad the guys suggested it. Finally forced me to learn it
Nicely done sir ! This is how a tutorial should be. Thank you so much !
I had a go at this for the first time last night, got pretty far with most of it. The rough spots are really concerning sound switching, and a few really fast parts. Thanks man you helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
This is great , it helped me learn this again as I learned this as a kid (with a tape player lol) and now was able to again. However, I noticed this is from the new version and its much slower. I liked the old LP faster version myself.
Correct, as we all played the song parts during Covid away from each other, we picked a current modern live version from 2019 to play along with for timing to sync up. czcams.com/video/srHPx2ZUI2s/video.html This video was the original project that spawned the keyboard tutorial after we isolated the keyboard video Christian sent us.
Totally nailed it!!! Amazing job!!!
This is fantastic! I have always wanted to learn how to play this on the keys! Thanks for posting this
Amazing! Wish I had your skill!

Thanks man! Hope this helps.
NICE 👍 TIME TO GO PRACTICE 😉🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
OMG. Why do you only have 79 likes?!!! Well, 80 now!😃
Super great. .. I have an OBX emulator, but I cannot find any help with how to set it up for this into. I am amazed that there aren't more instructions / maps / whatever out there for getting this sound. Sure would like to see how to set the sound
OBX emulator- I’m jealous!
All in all, it’s a pretty easy synth sound to get close enough to. This is what I did here, maybe it will give you a place to start:
First off, set the performance mode to MONOPHONIC. It won’t sound right if it’s in polyphonic mode. Start with a straight sawtooth wave from your oscillator(s). Set the cut-off frequency close if not to fully 100%. (It’s a bright timbre).
For envelope, take just a bit off the attack off by setting attack to maybe 5%, but play with attack until it sounds right. 0% Decay, Sustain 100%, and just a hint maybe 5% release.
Most important is to get the portamento right- just a hint to get that glide effect.
That’ s pretty much it. Hope it helps and thanks for watching!
@@cjheaford Thanks.. I just have my mac hooked up with Mainstage and the Sonic Projects OP-X PRO-II. But... i think setting that thing up is still over my head. :)
I’m your 1000th viewer
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
You know it is nice following along, but it would be great if these youtube players would list the model of the keyboard and the settings for the sounds. Being a live player doing covers, the hardest part is finding the close sounds for the songs.
Narf Sounds...
Thanks for watching!
There are only two sounds I used when I Played this in this video....
1) Factory preset organ that came with my Roland Keyboard.
2)) The synth patch I made from scratch and programmed it myself, so there is no information to give you other than learn how to program a synth.
Here are some MAJOR tips if you are just learning to program:
Oscillators: Set Cutoff frequency quite high. Lessen the resonance. This patch doesn't need high resonance.
Then as far as Envelope: knock back attack a little. It was about #3 on my keyboard. Set mode to MONOPHONIC DeYoung never plays chords on the synth in this song. It's only ever one note at a time (this is important). Give the monophonic tone a bit of portamento. This creates the glide from note-to-note instead of abrupt steps.
That's everything I did and everything I can explain without a Masterclass in music synthesis.
dude, pls play Grand Illusion
I can do it for you, but it’s hard to put this band together. We all recorded our parts to a click track long distance during Covid. I doubt I could get them to record a whole song again now that they are back playing live. Would you want just the keyboard part to Grand Illusion or the whole cover band?
What is the instrument or sound used for the keyboard or synthesizer?
Dennis DeYoung used a layered (multi-tracked back then) regular Organ and Sawtooth synth patch during the verses, so that’s what I did here too. The organ on my keyboard is a factory preset with no alteration, and the Synth patch I made from scratch to try to match the original as closely as possible. The synth patch for the monophonic solo sections I created using a basic sawtooth waveform, backed off the attack slightly, and added a tiny bit of portamento. Portamento is the “sliding” from note to note rather than jumping in steps.
