- Played live using only registrations and multi pads, no prerecording. Hope you enjoy the performance! In the key of Lockdown...
Thank you so much for the warm and friendly comments, keep them coming!
If you’re trying to play this and are lucky enough to have a keyboard with registrations and multi pads, you may wish to consider the following tips:
Spend time listening to the source. Annotate the sheet music with notes on the sound, riffs, repeated musical themes so you know what to put in to the multi pads and spend time listening to the soundstage - which sounds are from the left, centre and right?
When building your registrations, save regularly . Build as much automation in as you can - when you save a registration with sync start on or a fill-in engaged, or even a change from one variation to another for example , the registration remembers that and can save you time when playing.
Finally, practice makes perfect. Not only the playing but learning the muscle memory of what to press and when - it’s all part of the performance.
Thanks again and keep playing!
Magnificent! I just re-watched this 1 year later and I am still amazed as to how you managed to put this piece all together! I have heard other covers but this one is far more superior. It's not an easy piece to replicate, but you did it so well. Well done!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope it provides inspiration for others :)
I cant stop watching this! Its absolutely incredible! All the switching and not a single mistake... Bravo Indeed :)
Wow! That was tough, great work!!
This is incredible, utterly amazing! You’re very talented. I’ve just started playing again after 40 + years. Im hoping to play this eventually. Thank you for sharing your talent. It’s very inspiring. Jeff Wayne’s War of the worlds musical is my all time favourite.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so glad to hear you're getting back into the "swing" of it! The original double album was my first record! Keep practising, and enjoy your achievements!
Well done...... I enjoyed listening and watching this video, Greetings, from Adriaan ( Tyros 3 player)
Thank you Adriaan for your kind words. We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing .
Great work plating and arranging all of this
Just came across this , I own a tyros 5. Wish I could play it like that ….. amazing ,well done..👏👏
Another brilliant rendition from you. Many thanks!
Heyy! I found this a couple weeks back, and I really love it. You’re like a single man orchestra. I have an electric keyboard, and I really want to play this like you did. Do you happen to have the sheet music for it? It would be a lot easier for me if I was able to follow the sheet music instead of following where you put your fingers. Thanks!
Very impressed with this switching on the fly.
Amazing! Well done! You have put a lot of work into this and the sound is superb, short of watching the real live Jeff Wayne live orchestra. Very entertaining. Thank you.
If anyone told this man they had no skill they would be dead wrong. Absolutely amazing!!!! I love this cover! Is it okay if I could use it?
It sounds amazing. It seems you put a lot of work arranging styles, multi-pads, registrations etc. It is wonderful to hear it. Well done and I look forward to hear more of the songs you play.
This deserves 100K views.
Wow absolutely amazing im blown away with that splendid job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Bravo Sir! Thats was Excellent - Love It!! :)
Fantastic mate, really enjoyed you playing. 👏👏👏👏
Wow seriously nice work! And all live too, well done :)
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, there's no MIDI file used, it's all using preset accompaniments. I simply set up the registrations and played in my own 8 multi pads. Oh, and practiced a bit...
Very technical great job 👍🏻
raaagh i wanna learn this
Hi and thank you for your performance. For my musical study I am looking for styles or a way to create this performance. Do you have some advise or information where to get a style for this song? What you created is just what I am looking for to create.
Hi, thank you for your kind words! I hope you are well. The album was released in the late 70s in the disco era so depending on what instrument you’re using find the disco rhythms. Pare down the backing, mark on the sheet music where the sound changes will be and program in advance everything you can’t do live. Listen to the source material over and over and over again, but put your own spin on it too. Most of all, enjoy experimenting and have fun playing! Wishing you joy and happiness with music x
That is brilliant! Well put together….
Hi Alex, thank you for your kind words, keep meaning to look at other tracks on the albums... watch this space!
Incredible. Well-done!
AMAZING!!!!!
How did you get with multipad sounds wotw
Nice , Tutorial pls
Hi, quick tutorial: get the sheet music, take notes on it by listening over and over, where the strings need to come in, what sounds to use; ie brass, elec guitar, synth etc. Be familiar with each section and find disco rhythms suitable, reduce the number of accompaniment instruments if you can and if you have "multi-pads" use them - you can see where I trigger them on the video. I have 8 (two banks of 4) and each registration can remember which bank so you can easily switch between multi pad banks. Set up your registrations and... practice. Practice. Practice. Good luck and let me know how you get on!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤟
The jealousy that is ripping out of me right now is unreal!! I could never do this 😢 just wow
Absolutely brilliant. Did you make up the multi pads yourself as i can't seem to find any like them anywhere. thanks
Hi Robert thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, there are two banks of multi pads and I played them in . They’re a very powerful tool to add extra layers to a performance and I often just create my own - on the Toccata video I use one for the synth arpeggio and had to play it in at quarter speed . Might take a little while to get them how you want them but so worthwhile!
Awesome stuff. Where can I purchase this registration for my Tyros 5?
Excellent work, learning this on genos, I think I may have some of those voices. Pads?
Hello and thank you for your kindness in leaving a comment. There are two banks of Multi-Pads, so 8 in total. I listened for the recurring themes and where there were counter melodies I used a Multi-Pad for one and played the other live. Keep playing and good luck!
