Forensic Files Style Tension Music - Forensic Findings
This is an original piece I wrote in the style of the Forensic Files Theme Called, "Forensic Findings". A tip of the cap so to speak. This is one of my favorite genres to compose as it's dark and moody. I mostly used guitar and synths with a bit of percussion sprinkled in. Hope you enjoy!

Just got a brand new Oberheim TEO-5 in and thought I'd do another unboxing and preset playthrough video. I know these types of videos are very helpful in making purchase decisions so hopefully it'll help some of you! My thoughts: This thing sounds huge, raw and organic! You can modulate yourself into oblivion if you want, sequencer is very powerful and the raw tone speaks for itself. I highly r...
Splatterhouse 2 - Foul River Music Cover
Переглядів 1343 місяці тому
Here's my cover of Milky Eiko's Foul River track from one of my favorite horror games of all time; Splatterhouse 2. I had a lot of fun with this one and tried to stay pretty close to the original but also took a few liberties to keep things fresh. There are no sounds used from the original theme here(aside from the mask laugh at the beginning). This is a completely new rendition. Hope you enjoy...

Amazing cover. 🔥 Your dog made it 11/10. ♥
Haha thanks so much, man!🙏 He definitely came in clutch😎

Haha for sure😅

Can I ask why you carved out on the upper section of the neck?? Why not the whole neck

Excellent work man. I would solve crimes to this for sure. 😬
@@sonicneutronic Haha thank you! Hopefully you won’t need to but if so, I’ll send you some tracks😜
Totally awesome brother
Thanks Samurai! Glad you dig it🙏
This movie scared me to death. I remember having dreams about the guy that got loose in the courtyard in my bedroom. Truly a haunting nightmare. I have only seen this movie a few times due to still being terrified of it.
Haha definitely doesn’t sound like a fun nightmare😝. Think it’s about time for another watch though
it's more like 14 years later after conservatives took over the Westminster
Én örülök annak ha te örülsz ! Kérlek csinálj videót nagy (88 or61 key) MIDI billentyüvel ha lehet. Köszi Szia.
Okay
@@axelmaldini4218 👍
as the Chinese monks say: fuck yeah 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Haha thank you!🙏🤘
Mine was factory sealed and still had the bag taped. Yours sounds fine, but somebody else definitely opened it up and repacked it.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that it was an open box(same day return). I usually wouldn’t do that but otherwise I would’ve had to wait another month or so, so I gave it a try and all was well🙌
Man, thanks so much for posting this. I had Minitaur a few years ago that I ended up selling (although I loved it!) just because I could not for the life of me figure out how to getting it working consistently with Reaper in Windows. In the end I just went back to plugins. But I've recently switched to a Mac mini setup and I was considering trying the Minitaur again, you just convinced me!
@@TheGuitarDudeSteve Awesome!!! Love hearing that. Glad you found it useful! If it helps you further, I do film scoring and almost exclusively use my hardware synths over software ‘cause of how seemless it all is to record them
Great 🔥
@@aniket327 Thank you🙏
amazing
@@carlosfarfan9688 Thanks so much man!🙏
Best advice yet.. exactly what I'm going to do.. thank you
@@nosa_J Best course of action really. Glad I could be of service!
The low split feature was previously introduced on the Sequential Take-5. 😎 Which makes sense as to why it would appear in the TEO-5 as they share much the same chassis.
100%! I remembered the T5 right after I put the video up😝. Is that the only other synth to have that feature though? So currently just the T5 and TEO5?
@@riffsthatrule I posed the question of a split transpose to ChatGPT. It suggested the Korg mono/poly, DX7, Juno 106, Jupiter 8, and some Nord Stages. I can’t verify if those were correct though. (I’m away from my 106, and no direct experience with the others)
That’s cool if that’s accurate! I was under the impression that it was just the T5 and TEO. Would love to know if your 106 has it when you get a chance to check!
@@ytJnC I‘m pretty sure that this is not true. The Junos and Jupiters have habe 5-octave keyboards and thus don‘t need this feature. Of course you can make two different patches on the JP-8 and the Nords and transpose them by one or more octaves. But what Sequential introduced is a split within one and the same patch!
Very cool!
@@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen Thanks man! Definitely a handy feature
what the🔥
Haha thank you!🙏
Dude this is awesome !!!!!

another great cover, you nailed it
@@SynthAddict Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I may need to cover more from this movie too. Such a great score!🎃
awesome cover man, huge Romero and Creepshow fan - my covers of horror themes are never this good 🙂 I shared a few 2 years ago - mostly once box jam challenges as well
@@SynthAddict Thanks a ton man! Same, love Romero’s work! I’ll definitely look for those covers on your channel🙂
@@riffsthatrule thanks man, I do a lot of original music jams and tech demos, but you can search for "cover" with my name 🙂 you ever go to Living Dead Weekend near Pittsburgh? it's a blast
I got mine on order and should have it in a few days. 🙏
@@Truth1nNature Awesome! I’m pumped for you haha. You’re gonna love it. Everything about it is great🔥
Ah! I didnt know you could change the split point like that! that's awesome. Thank you for this! I'm loving mine! Had a T5 before and this one hits all the marks for me more.
@@takeasnapshot Of course! Glad I could help. It’s also recallable when you save patches too! Same, I’m loving this thing! Sounds great and super easy and intuitive to use. Enjoy yours and more videos to come on this bad boy!
Does the setting save with the patch memory?
Yep! Seems they thought of everything with this little beast. Super handy
Such a great feature! Thanks for keeping it simple! Feel free to add more 'how to's' for this awesome synth! 🤘🤘
@@LAZ-org For sure! I’m glad you enjoyed it and definitely more to come with this beast🎹🤘
Every 49 key and smaller keyboard should have that feature, I love it
@@BRAPO 100% agree! So handy and easy to use. To be honest, I thought about hooking up one of my bigger boards to it but there’s no need now with how handy that feature is🔥
gain staging for this and take 5 kills the quality of the rest of the synth, as much as I want to like it this is off for me as a Oberheim sound
what is wrong with the gain staging for you? care to explain?
@@kujumz when oscillators pushed not very careful you can can have a unmusical sound, hard to explain, I tell you what I felt, I got Take 5 for 2 years and I was not happy with it as much as I tried, the synths are great in general, the digital part with the modulation is perfect, the filters are great also but the core sound has something that not makes me happy, and I feel the same with this one from the demos, and I had a lot of synths in 20 years when I start making music. Of course is personal impression, I saw on forms there people that feels like me but indeed to that many like the rest that likes them
@@plutostube I believe you I just wish you could actually explain it
I hear you. To each their own. I feel the opposite. The raw tone of this thing is awesome and I find it near impossible to make it sound bad. Super easy and intuitive to use all of its features as well
@@plutostube that's not how gain staging works, it's to do with the amount of voices you have and how you spread that over the frequency spectrum, a perfect example is the Polybrute 6 vs the 12, the 12 has less gain staging than the 6 due to 6 more voices, which means when you play lower registers on the PB6, they will sound better than the PB12. The Fletcher Munson curve has a lot to do with how gain staging works too, especially when frequencies are involved.
🙌🔥🤘
🙏🙌🤘
I am shocked. SHOCKED. That you don't have full sleeve tattoos. C'mon man, don't you want to BeLikeEveryoneElse™ Only shocked slightly more by the utility of this split feature. Honestly thought it would be a bit of a gimmick at first, but with the limited keyboard I could actually see myself using it. Especially if it's this easy to punch in. Nice!
Haha yeah, what everyone else does, I typically do the opposite. For sure! It’s actually extremely useful with the limited key range. Love how quick and easy it is to dial in. They nailed it with that feature
Check it! Also, knowing you, I am certain you use the split with the highest C only on the top layer 😂
Hahahah just for maximum rooves!😂
@@riffsthatrule lol check it
😂
You are the greatest instructor! Subbed
Thanks so much man! Much appreciated🙏
That Freddy is sweet...
@@crash921 Thanks man! Love that thing haha
🤘🤘🤘
@@s.f.b.s 🙏🙌🤘
I have a OB6 but may still pick up a TEO-5 to mess with and also to take on the go. I like horror score type stuff so having that extra modulation could be fun. I have a Pro3SE too so maybe a bit too much SEM but damn.... Can't deny, it's still temping.
@@embodie_breaks7089 Haha yeah, that might be a bit overkill but this thing also has its own vibe and character too. Taking it on the go would be a huge bonus too. Only a few keys shy of the OB6 too. That’s awesome! Horror scores are my favorite
Did you really check yoself before doing all that, though lol
@@MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello Luckily I did this time, otherwise I would’ve wrecked myself lol
@@riffsthatrule lol but you put the Prophet on top of that wobbly table... check it lol
@MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello It was the power of two wobbly tables put together that did the trick! Check it😂
@@riffsthatrule lol fo real yo
Hopefully this fixes any further issues!
@@sonicneutronic Thanks man! That was a super fun process😂
What speakers do you have hooked up to it? Or can you use headphones on it as well?
@@MythicDragoness10 I have it hooked up to Adam speakers but it does come with a headphone jack as well
@@riffsthatrule Good to know, thank you!
sounds great
@@NicolasMelis Thanks man! It’s a great sounding synth and I’ve been havin’ a ton of fun exploring it. Your channel is awesome by the way, just subbed!
@@riffsthatrule thanks! appreciated it! subbed on yours when i saw the teo and the prophet :)
@@NicolasMelis Haha thank you! Man, I love the Prophet 5. I just had to put a new main board in it actually. Have a video on that coming tomorrow 🙂
Great demo! That beast has the presence! Very musical too..
@@jonv2911 Thanks man!🙏 Definitely, that SEM filter ruuuuules! It’s also surprisingly beefy when it wants to be too 🥩
Good morning, Could you specify if you bought this synth or if it is a loan to make this video? And if you bought it, could you specify when and where? We are a lot to have ordered this synth and we still do not have a manufacturer's shipping time as for our delivery. Your answers could help us situate us. Thank you very much in advance, nice video!
I bought it through Guitar Center since I teach there. I ordered it a few weeks ago but as far as I know, they should start shipping mid to late September. Thank you!🙏
@@riffsthatrule THANKS. I'm a French musician and I ordered mine at the end of May. Still impossible to know when it will be delivered! I can't wait. Your video helps me wait.🤩
@@vincet9419 For sure! Guitar Center’s system says they’ll ship mid to late September so that is my best guess. That’s a long time to wait and I know how tough it can be haha. You’re gonna love it though! Thanks again and I hope yours comes sooner than later!
Did you get it from Sweetwater? I ordered mine June 1st and am still waiting 😢
No, I ordered mine with Guitar Center since I teach there and get a discount. That’s a bummer! I know how tough it is to wait. As far as I know, they should be shipping mid to late September
I called last week and he told me I would get it before the end of the month… I guess we’ll see 🤷♂️
@mynameisdylan720 Nice! Hopefully that’s accurate and it comes sooner than later
I ordered on July 30th and it arrives early next week. I bought from Perfect Circuit though.
@@jasondbaker Nice! Yeah, seems like they’re all gonna start shipping over the next few weeks or so
Just stumbled upon your vid. What a riff-a-palooza. This is one of my favorite megadeath songs and definitely an underrated heavy and deep cut! You do it justice!
@@TheFinerPrint I completely agree! This song doesn’t get enough love. Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it🙏
Thanks for adding to the GAS!! 🔥
