  • I co-founded a Cure tribute band about 15+ years ago called Fascination Street, based out of Seattle, WA. We loved playing The Cure's music and stayed together for about 8 years. I then moved on to my current band, Nite Wave (new wave 80's cover). I haven't played these Cure songs since then, but I want to share the patches and sounds I used as the keyboardist of the band (I'm mainly a bass player, but love keys too), and I thought it would be fun to play along with the Disintegration album since we did every song on it.
    I'll do one video per track. At the end of each song I'll play a snippet of the song with my patches only, so you can hear what they sounded like live on their own. I use a Korg Triton, and amazingly my old floppy still has all the sound mapping (Sequences, in Triton-speak).
    All credit to Robert Smith and the members of The Cure for crafting such an amazing song and album for the world, thank you guys!

    I'm playing in a band and for the organ intro I play "A DED EDED" But I play the String interlude I play the exact same thing. But this is still amazing. On my other channel, I also do keyboard covers.

    • @galtem
      @galtem  4 роки тому +1

      no worries. Well, sorry to say, the patches/sounds won't translate between the two. Just do what I did -- listen to what the sound sounds like and try to break down what instruments it sounds like -- strings, brass, bell, whatever. Then tweak as needed (either changing wav parameters or adding effects). good luck, and have fun with it :-)

      Aw darn thats a shame. Maybe Ill invest in the synth you use here one day, looks like a solid one.

      @@TrolladinPlays I love the Triton, but it's pretty old; I wouldn't start from scratch with it if I was just starting out. Laptops now can have tons of synths loaded and use a MIDI controller to play them -- I'd probably do that if starting over.

    1:00 what sounds are you using for the right hand? i think i am hearing Brightness? i also think most of the sounds of this keyboard are also available on Korg Kross.

    • @galtem
      @galtem  Рік тому +1

      Right hand is a combination of a bell and strings. Not sure about the Kross, I haven't researched new keyboards in ages.

    • @ShanMichaelEscasio
      @ShanMichaelEscasio Рік тому +1

      @@galtem well ok. So allow me to fill you in. Korg kross 1 is a model introduced like in 2013. There's even a Kross 2 now which was introduced in 2017 i think. The Kros 1 was sort of marketed as carrying sounds from Triton..or i think one of the 4 Bonus PCG files we get for free. So I was kinda familiar with some sounds you used in this song like the Sugarsmash or bBrightness, was it.
      And also, thanks for the info. I will redo my patch for this. I made one last night just to start practicing on.

    How did you set up your keyboard? I play mostly ? the guys want me to be mote dynamical on setting up the keyboard with layers and splitting. Do you have a video of this

    @johnmarkiewiczjr4227 Рік тому

    What time did you do for this I got a Casio and I can get the right side of my keyboard to sound perfect but my left side doesn’t sound how I want it too is there any way to keep one side how it is but the other side different

    • @galtem
      @galtem  Рік тому

      It's 100% dependent on your particular keyboard - it has to have the ability to split up the board into different sounds for different groups of keys. From what you are describing I'm assuming your whole keyboard is the same sound from low to high for whichever sound you pick. Most Casio's I've seen don't have the ability to split the board up into different sections, but maybe yours can -- you'll need to read your user manual to see if yours can do it. If it can't, then you 'll need a different keyboard that can, or a 2nd keyboard to put alongside.
