  • 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.

      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. 🥹 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    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 :)

    • @SynthManiaDotCom
      @SynthManiaDotCom  Před 6 lety +18

      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.

    • @unclebob1o1
      @unclebob1o1 Před 6 lety +4

      The C# is an extension that adds extra tension to the C7 chord

    • @Tomica031
      @Tomica031 Před 3 lety +5

      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

    • @DiegoCaponera
      @DiegoCaponera Před 2 lety +9

    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.
