Hans Zimmer - Lisan al Gaib (Dune 2 Soundtrack) | Synthesizer & Guitar Cover Karel Smit 2024-04-25 | New gear post! This is the first clip where I use the Elektron Analog Rytm Mk2. Pretty daunting drum machine and nowhere near understanding all its features, but it's fun to use and love the sound sculpting options.I've also bought the DIVA synthesizer plugin a while back. All the synthesizers in this clip are created with that plugin. Very amazing sounds and made me wonder why I bought all my hardware haha.And lastly I've bought the Akai Midimix to have a bit of extra control for whatever I apply to it's knobs and faders. Now I've loaded 4 Drum Loops on the first four tracks. The last four tracks are used to add extra Arpeggio's and Pads. All synths are controlled by the Keystep Pro.Check out my other movie/series soundtrack covers here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_lQdEfPDpIwav9TDCowIlH5--d4e3udG&si=ADrl7Q0E7YGluq9LI also make original music:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_lQdEfPDpIxwOVSj-spM7CJJoFH9YWxR&si=hb7-xzcr2Fa94Nd4

Amazing what a versatile musician he is.This is by far the most popular song of the Oppenheimer soundtrack and rightly so I would say. Transcribing and setting everything up in midi was kind of hellish, considering the 21 tempo changes in the song. I sort of gave up back in August but decided to finish it anyway and happy with the result!Some notes on the set-up:I've routed midi tracks to the keystep pro to control my analogue synths, besides also adding a lot of soft synths form the Massive plugin. This was my first dive into the Massive library and I have to say it's amazing! As far as soft synths go, I can imagine you wouldn't need anything else.- Main melody/Counter Melody: Prophet Rev2 Preset Double Impact (F2P72) with some tweaks + Herby & Bender Massive Preset in 2 different octaves- High bells (violin plucks in the original): Bellclarinet Massive Preset- Bass: Mother32 + Analogue Classique 2 Massive Preset- Chord stabs: Call In The Air Massive Preset- Low chord stabs final part: Elevator Massive Preset- High violins final part: Drifter + Splendor Massive Preset- Lead: Korg Minilogue xd Vreeuw preset with some tweaks + Minibrute 2s + 4 different Massive Presets that are added gradually: Square Crisp, Square Crisp octave higher, Widen, Bursted Flute

Karel Smit - Floating (Official Music Video) Karel Smit 2023-06-30 | In the past few weeks I've been trying to improve my mastering skills and I got into txt2img creation using stable diffusion. The coming months, I'm hoping to combine those two things to revisit some old jams, add some bells and whistles, master the tracks and create videoclips. This is the first track I've done this with.The earliest version of this concept was actually one of my first clips on this channel which I posted more than three years ago, you can check that one out here:youtube.com/watch?v=jrWqGXdgtmY&t=1sHalf a year later, I revisited this concept and added a lot of synths and an extra guitar. You can find that one here: youtube.com/watch?v=NWKRiyrkO1cSince then, sadly I lost the individual stems of this track, so I wasn't able to add a lot of new things, without disturbing the mix, so this release is mainly a remaster with some extra background drums, percussion and ambient sounds. Regardless, I'm quite happy with how it turned out in the end.The video is created using a local version of stable diffusion with the deforum extension. Installing and solving errors was a pain in the ass, but eventually I managed to get it working. For interested Mac users, a guide can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=Jh-clc4jEvk&list=PL_lQdEfPDpIw9tc5B0x_VIQTYuYktDOnF&index=8And for some information on deforum settings this video helped me:youtube.com/watch?v=bicPayZDI60&list=PL_lQdEfPDpIw9tc5B0x_VIQTYuYktDOnF&index=7In this clip, I wanted to create a watercolor version of a shifting landscape which went from nature landscapes to a biopunk city and back to nature landscapes. Still very new to optimizing prompts and camera movements, so I get a lot of unexpected results, but it's great fun to come up with words describing the image I see in my head. Definitely recommend trying it out!
M83 - Solitude (Felsmann + Tiley Reinterpretation) | Full Cover Karel Smit 2023-03-19 | Coverception doing a cover on a reinterpretation. Had a lot of fun recreating this, especially with the vocals. The vocals are basically three separate takes which I copied and down-/uptuned an octave and a fifth with the formant all the way down. Creates sort of a vocoder effect, even more so with generous amounts of autotune.Rest of the Set-up:Keystep Pro controls- Track 1 main chords: Prophet Rev2 (F1P1 LosVangelis2041 with lots of tweaks, most important one putting an LFO on the Env Amount of the Low-Pass Filter)- Track 2 Bass: Minibrute 2s. Found a nice sweetspot with the ADSR envelope on the FM for the swelling bass- Track 3 Lead: Korg Minilogue xd: stock patch with a Saw, a Sine and a Square on top of one another with some distortion- Track 4 ambient bleeps: Moog Mother-32Moog DFAM is midisync'ed to the keystep and does the pounding drums.#synthesizer #M83 #Solitude

Shut Up X Milkshake (Black Eyed Peas / Kelis Mashup) Karel Smit 2022-10-12 | I'll probably get into some copyright trouble, but man this was fun to do!I recently discovered www.songtostems.com, which extracts vocals, bass, drum, other and a full instrumental from tracks. I remember checking one of those sites years back and it didn't work at all, but now I think the results are so amazing!I thought about making this mashup, because whenever I hear the intro of 'Shut Up', in my head it is followed by the milkshake verse. I finally fixed that for myself :) The start of both verses line up so perfectly in my opinion. It helped that they turned out to have the exact same BPM, and tonally they were only a half step apart.The milkshake background was created using an AI image generation program, which creates images based on text imput. It's called MidJourney, also definitely worth checking out!#kelis #blackeyedpeas #mashup

Blue Bossa In Space Karel Smit 2022-07-21 | I love this jazz standard and I have been playing it for years on guitar. I wanted to create some rendition of it.

Mestis - Sedosa | Karel Smit Guitar Cover Karel Smit 2022-05-07 | Javier Reyes makes such beautiful compositions and really utilises the entirety of the 8-string. Such a beautiful instrument when used this way, although I feel like a rookie everytime I try an 8 string song again.Check out his own playthrough here: youtube.com/watch?v=zO4-etCKdm4Guitar sounds come from the Archetype Tim Henson plugin by neural DSP. For the solo part I used his multivoicer effect, set to a higher 3rd and 10th.Check out my other guitar covers:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_lQdEfPDpIzJCXtRQpd-I4Ip166pShtO#Javierreyes #8string #fingerstyle

Rhythmic Chords & Glitchy Drums w/ Prophet Rev2 and Arturia Drumbrute Impact Karel Smit 2022-04-05 | I recently stumbled on this nice tutorial, which was the foundation of the sound you hear: youtube.com/watch?v=CctYmE4-Oyw&t=1119sIts main characteristic is a LFO 1 on the Cutoff and LFO 2 on the frequency of LFO 1 to get rhytmic chords variations, creating a sound similar to the song Recovery by Rival Consoles for example. The bitimbral capabilities made it possible to stack another chord layer on top of it, working as a sort of pad sound.For the glitch effects on the drums I used the Shaperbox 2 plugin in Ableton Live 10, specifically a lot of time stretching and warping, and some automation on filter, pan and noise. Awesome plugin. Andrew Huang made a nice tutorial about it.#Rev2 #keysteppro #electronicmusic

Welcome to the Sequential Prophet Rev2! Karel Smit 2021-12-08 | I've been watching videos on this beauty of a synthesizer for some months and finally decided to pull the trigger on buying it. The clip is the result of the first night of fiddling with a simple arpeggio. Barely scratched the surface of it's capabilities, but I can say I'm already in love with the mod matrix and LFO capabilities. The interface to me feels very natural. Didn't even look at the manual yet (but I should!). Looking forward to exploring this beast further!Recorded in Ableton Live 10. Besides some compression and limiting, no effects were added in Ableton. Drums come from the Moog DFAM.#Davesmith #prophet #rev2

November w/Minibrute 2s, Drumbrute Impact, Minilogue xd, DFAM, Mother-32, Subharmonicon Karel Smit 2021-11-03 | This jam started out with me trying to make brassy sounds on the Minibrute 2s. Not really how it turned out in the end, but I definitely like messing with the ADSR over the filter.I've been trying to make the drums a bit more dynamic. I connected two LFO's from the minibrute to the Noise level and VCF mod of the DFAM, so every sequence is a bit different. The Drumbrute Impact had a 28 step sequence, so it evolves a bit over time as well. Happy with how that turned out.All audio is routed through the Machine MK3 for live effects. Makes mixing afterwards fairly impossible, but it was fun to do! Could use some extra hands though from time to time.Set-upArturia Keystep Pro sequences:-Track 1 Moog Mother-32: arpeggio-Track 2 Arturia Minibrute 2s: Bass-Track 3 Korg Minilogue xd: pad (Preset 058 'Nowhere pad' with some minor tweaks)Clock sync'd:-Moog DFAM: kick, glitch-Arturia Drumbrute Impact: kick 2, snare, clap, crash, hi hats-Moog Subharmonicon: chord stabsRecorded, mixed and effects added in Ableton live 10.Check out my other synth jams: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_lQdEfPDpIwSD054wJKrpcYGAip5XcEK#keysteppro #electronic #arturia

Techno Jam w/ Moog DFAM, Mother-32 & Subharmonicon Karel Smit 2021-08-05 | I started this jam with the 'Welcome to the Freq Zone' patch for DFAM and Mother-32. Made some tweaks here and there and added a sequence on the Subharmonicon. For those interested, you can find the patch sheet here: back.moogmusic.com/sites/default/files/2021-03/MSS1_Welcome%20to%20the%20Freq%20Zone.pdf#analoguesynthesizer #semimodular #patch
Ambient Jam with DFAM, Subharmonicon, Mother-32, Minilogue xd, Minibrute, Microfreak, Maschine MK3 Karel Smit 2021-07-21 | It was time for a big jam again! I was noodling on the guitar with the natural harmonics and thought it could be a nice theme for a synth jam.Set-up:Keystep Pro:Track 2 Minibrute 2s: basslineTrack 3 Minilogue xd: Arpeggio 2Track 4 Microfreak: Arpeggio 1DFAM, Mother-32 and Subharmonicon are clock synced to the Keystep pro and form a (pretty expensive' drum kit.DFAM is used as a kick, still amazed everytime by what comes out of that machineMother-32 is used for noise/hi-hatish sounds. Velocity of the DFMA is patched to the VCA CV to give it more of a rhytmic effect.I used the Subharmonicon for a second kick sound by turning the resonance all the way up and the Cut-off around 9 O'clock. Gives a cool effect!I used the Maschine MK3 as a VST plug-in on the guitartrack for live control over the effects.Guitar loop created with the loop automation tool in AbletonRecorded and Mixed in Ableton Live 10#Moog #Keysteppro #Arturia
