Say Hello To My Little Band

To access and study the MIDI from this VST-ONLY track, check out the MIDI Study pack for this piece, which comes with MIDI (and Cubase Files--bonus if you're a Cubase user), reference audio, and a multi-page PDF for guided composition and orchestration instruction and assignments. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/midi-study-pack-1-commanding-the-fleet

I wrote this adventurous track as a demo for Musical Sampling's debut sample library, "Soaring Strings," which has won a spot in my template due to it's ease of use, solid sound, and the most fluid, agile legatos I've ever used. Programming and performing with this library is remarkably easy--there are a few spots in this track where the melody line remains almost untouched since my first pass at inputting it via keyboard and modwheel. With a ridiculously low retail price of $249 (and an introductory price of $199) this library demands a look: http://www.musicalsampling.com/soaring-strings/

Also used in this piece:

Berlin Woodwinds Main and Ex B
Berlin Percussion
Metropolis Ark 1 (choirs + brass)
Cinebrass Core 
CinePerc Core (timpani)
Hollywood Brass (6horns legato)
Spitfire Harp

Demo example for Yamaha Reface DX highlighting voice "Numana."  Excerpt of classic 80's synth pop/rock track "Are Friends Electric" by Gary Numan.  All sounds including drums created by 100% Reface DX, recorded direct into Garageband.  Only added effect/processing in Garageband is some master reverb.

Uses the following seven Reface DX voices:
Numana, Bright Midrange Bass, Grungitar, Harmo Square Lead, Electro Beats 11, Snare 18 TF, and Rhythm Box Cymbal 11. 

PS -- after listening on headphones, it might be a little heavy on the low end...

Behind the synth showcases the people bringing you Yamaha synthesizers. In this episode Blake and Nate chat with Gary Luenberger. Gary is a musician and keyboardist who is a legend in the world of FM Synthesis. Along with David Bristow, Gary created the preset sounds for the DX7. He worked as a sound designer for many artists during the 80s and shares some great stories from that time. 

“Yamaha contacted me and said ‘There’s a man in your area, his name is Dr. John Chowning and he’s at Stanford University at a place called CCRMA and he’s doing something called FM’ and I said 'What is FM?'. So I went down to CCRMA and we just sat down with something called the GS-1”. 

Check out this story and more during our chat with Gary Luenberger.
