"That's not just nostalgia, that's emotion that's been encoded into the music" Right, that's it, I'm calling it. I think you should rename your channel 'Owen The Genius'
Daisy Dee OMG! Listening to an old skool rave set earlier, hearing the other synth melody, thinking "whoa, I forgot about this tune"... jumped to shazam, Somebody Real, jumped to youtube, boom drops straight in with that Piano. "That's the piano from Owens Propa Pianos, the BEST ONE!" Pure mad moment. Pure euphoria! Unbelievable!!!
this is one of the best music tutorials ive ever seen. i hate pretty much all tutorials esp when they have to do with chords, music theory, but this one is just simple to digest and well made, nice work man
the way you explain the progressive notes makes so much difference. it takes away the flatness and adds depth. many of these tracks were produced with stereo effects in place and it has a nostalgic feel every time. great content
Lets have a go at this Baby D,Let Me Be Your Fantasy Jimi Polo,Better Days Shades Of Rhythm,Sound Of Eden Bit Machine,Somebody Real Elevation,Can You Feel It Hyper Go Go,High / Rhythm Is Rhythm,Strings Of Life Awesome 3,Dont Go Asha,JJ Tribute :D
AMAZING! I think I can crown you the winner, but I have to say there's no Strings Of Life in there (Hyper Go Go - High is obviously inspired by Rhythm Is Rhythm!). Also, while Asha's JJ Tribute is the original source of the final piano, that one was a trick question because I actually emulated the track that samples it instead... I'm sure you know exactly which one I mean! ;)
The 2nd piano although was used in Jimi Polo's Better Days, it was originally 40 Miles - Congress. There's a vocal version and non-vocal version of that.

Only just had my attention drawn to this channel but subbed - great stuff. I remember a lot of these tunes from the first time round.. Almost 30 years.. :D
Mate where has the piano roll gone? I loved your Prodigy vid as it taught me as well as the understanding behind it, hope you can add it back again as it would make me so happy to learn these riffs 🙂👌🏼
This is some real premium stuff. Knowledge that I really personally needed to know. Thanks Owen really fucking glad I found your videos mate. You have opened my mind to start making some old school classic stuff. Cheers 👍

Great channel. Very informative content. Any chance you could do a vid on how stompy happy hardcore drums were made or the off beat stabs? I know 99% of them just sampled the Hoover from charley but there were a lot of variations and I can't figure out how they were done. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming!
I don't think 99% of them sampled the hoover from Charly. Probably more tracks sampled the Mentasm hoover, but there were lots of great stabs. You've got me thinking now... Might do a stabby video!
Wow, a lot of my all time favourites there, including my number 1 all time favourite Baby D. Would you be willing to share the Midi files for these please?
Hi Owen, Great video. Request - Any chance you could change from velocity to pitch in the key editor for future videos? Would be great to watch. Especially for Cubase users who have the key colours burnt in their brain. Cheers!
None of them are the Korg M1, though the last one is something very similar. There's loads of other classic lo-fi pianos, as you see! JV-1080, JD-800, SQ-80, SY-85, U-220, JX-1, D-50, Proteus/1, and on and on

90s were the best times! ❤
Breaking out the Roland U110 tonight for this one, let's go! Thanks for dropping more wisdom, Owen!
this is one of the best music tutorials ive ever seen. i hate pretty much all tutorials esp when they have to do with chords, music theory, but this one is just simple to digest and well made, nice work man
Thank you. I'm not a big fan of tutorials either. Maybe that's why?
This was very informative, but what struck me straight away was how emotionally expressive you are.
the way you explain the progressive notes makes so much difference. it takes away the flatness and adds depth. many of these tracks were produced with stereo effects in place and it has a nostalgic feel every time. great content
Very good! Helps me better understand how those piano chords work than any other video with its clear examples and explanations
Let Me Be your Fantasy was actually playing on the radio when I clicked on this vid!
My favourite UA-cam video ever!!! Owen you’re amazing!!! 🙏
You're right abt the emotion stuff 2 grew up with acid house, hardcore, techno, jungle music nowadays lost that early vibe it's all 2 commercial now

Dude I love your video's, you've helped inspire me to get retrolouge when I get paid.
Aye mate you're good, you really no you're tunes and styles I like the way you explain it all 2 keep up the good work fella
This is a bloody fantastic video! Going to try and apply these techniques in my music, big up!

I would like to buy this pack if it's ever available again :O

Subbed. The greatest video of all time.
Bl00dy brilliant
You are a legend.
A true talent
Big Up Owen! Great work keep it up!
Very nice tutorial!
Fantastic explanation. Thanks very much!

Unbelievable
you are the best!!

amazing fun!
Wow, a lot of my all time favourites there, including my number 1 all time favourite Baby D. Would you be willing to share the Midi files for these please?
I can't do that
More like this please!
thankyou rave morpheus :)
Haha..... I didn't even offer anyone any pills
@@OwenTheGeek maybe an opportunity lost :)
Hi Owen, Great video. Request - Any chance you could change from velocity to pitch in the key editor for future videos? Would be great to watch. Especially for Cubase users who have the key colours burnt in their brain. Cheers!
Ahhh man. That colour/note thing mucks with my head as I'm synaesthetic. I'd rather everything be black and white like in the old days.
@@OwenTheGeek Ah fair play mate! :)
Awesome videos Owen, Subbed!
What is the song at seven Minutes I have heard it before and do not remember thank you
Great Video enjoyed it :)
6:30 was definitly Sy & Unknown Sudden Impact lol. Thought id skip the easier ones.
Adamski A. Guess again they nicked that from Bit machine, something real

That's right, @@ChrisW_Essex
I just need to grow 8 more fingers to actually play this outside of a computer.
Hello Owen, i'm glad i found this video in reddit. Btw, can you recommend more material to study about this topic?
Only my channel... that's why I'm doing it.
Great video. Classics these. JJ Tribute at the end is way too fast though. Yours is around 148bpm and the original is around 130-131 bpm.
Cos I deliberately modelled mine on one of the tracks that samples it :o)
@@OwenTheGeek Ahh I see. You Got Me - Liquid Crystal?
@@OwenTheGeek Sharky - Gravy Beatz 👌
Wanted to contact you, do you provide training?
Hello. I don't do it often, but if you're serious you can learn more here: www.owenthegeek.com/apply
How many of these are the Korg M1 piano? And what are some other classic lo-fi pianos?
None of them are the Korg M1, though the last one is something very similar. There's loads of other classic lo-fi pianos, as you see! JV-1080, JD-800, SQ-80, SY-85, U-220, JX-1, D-50, Proteus/1, and on and on
Can you send me the midi files for these please?
