Ill never understand why so many people look down on Trance. Its really unique in that it is dancey and energetic but also has a strong emotional/atmospheric intensity to it. And a lot of the time does this without the help of lyrics.
because it expands your mind, cannot be made by big label engineers or their fake artists, puts you outside the normie consumer sphere, and exalts and reafirm your european identity, that is why. It was originally introduced (electronic music) as a gateway to make all europeans abuse drugs, but in reality it cause to expand consciousness and no hard drug abuse, it is now a problem to the globalist oligarchs. independent good music
Because trance has depth and emotion which people lack, that's why they like easy and simple songs because that's how they are themselves 😋 trance is a gift from the heavens♥️
You mention ‘nostalgic sounds’ a lot but there’s more here than just nostalgia. You can call the classic 80s synth powerhouses nostalgic and everyone can agree, but there was something about 90s gear that had a mysterious and futuristic vibe going on. Pair that with the fact that futurism was much more prominent in the 90s than it is now (people generally had a positive outlook on the future back then), and you get a deep magical feeling that other eras never matched. Digital production these days is so wide open and there’s some amazing stuff out there to discover, but nothing can match that 90s magic. The modern trance scene certainly lost it, and they are constantly digging up classics to rehash and remix, but don’t understand what made those classic to begin with. Instead we end up with over compressed, over limited, hissing white noise, ear fatigue, cookie cutter patterns, uninspired chords, and festival fodder sound. Or ‘underground’ Sean Tyas knockoffs devoid of soul and dynamics. All of this to say that I’m quite fond of your 90s video series, and felt some magic in your final product here. I’ve been improving my sound and composition for a while to bring this magic trance vibe I grew up with back. Then, you showed up with these videos and made it look easy. I know that it certainly isn’t! Really excited to see what else you make, and hoping that you one day help push trance back to what made it so special to begin with.
I cant believe I've found a producer uploading this particular style of music, and the next day after I discover the 90s trance video and sub, you drop another one focusing on the one synth in the video I wasn't aware of. Your work is excellent as well as the editing. I'm excited for what comes next.
Thanks again Jonas, My mind was beamed away to another trance state. I guess older synth small or big had their own character. I'm glad you can push that CS1x to its limits. "its' not the product, it's the user".
Wow, this track would definitely have been picked up by record companies had it been released in the late 90s. Sounds like something you'd find on Dream Dance
Your tracks are amazing and they make me feel like it's 1999 again, when I was 18 years old. The very clear explanations make it look like it's easy to do this kind of stuff, but certainly it isn't, you need a lot of talent and "know how" to achieve this level in music production. Congrats Jonas.
I just dusted my CS1x off a few weeks ago. Fell in love with it again... little blue '90s wonder. It was my first synth and still hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for bringing back into attention!
what I love about your music is that it sounds both nostalgic but timeless at the same time... feels like the times you're referring to but at the same time feels like something I would listen to now... absolutely great music.. I have all these soft synths and I'm trying to some up with good stuff like you but it feels I'm missing something that vibe sauce you put in... thank you for sharing.
Im not saying that the CS1x is a bad synth but in the hands of a guy like this its better then some much more loved synths can sound. I have a CS1x and a CS6x Love both these keyboards for different reasons. I really must get back to making music again. Thanks for the inspiration
I don't own a synth and I only have a rudimentary understanding of music theory. However, I've stumbled across this channel and I can't stop watching these videos. Thanks for bringing a huge smile to this middle-aged man who is closing his eyes and is imagining he is clubbing again in the 90s. The advantage this time is I don't have to deal with the comedown 😉
@@Estuera What a great way to put it. Music has a very special ability to do that. It can retrieve memories that were almost forgotten and the emotions tied to them.
Thanks for showing each part being played, I'm learning from trance guys on sonic academy, but they don't show the parts being played so clearly. Thanks, it's very easy to get lost over thinking this stuff when someone doesn't explain it as well as you do
In Trance we trust. I remember listening to trance when it first came out and I've loved it ever since. So many different types of trance and every one of them loved. Another killer video.
Started watching this channel because I saw the CS1x (first synth I ever bought!) took me a long time to really fall in love with it but I actually use it for a lot of art rock tracks, it's got a super distinct and nostalgic feeling that can set it apart from any synthesizer IF you program it correctly.
Please share some of the music you did with the CS1x. I know quite a lot of (old school) edm producers that used it but I never heard much music outside that genre featuring this synth. Curious if I would still recognize it immediately in that context.
It was my first synth as well! It came out with a companion sampler called the "Yamaha SU10". The small shelf on the right side of the CS1x is where the SU10 is supposed to sit.
Korg M1 was underestimated in the full potential of its synthesis programming. By combining its many DWGS analog waveforms with PCM or transient sampling, you can produce very interesting sounds or full-bodied frequency spectrum sounds that are just not possible with FM or analog synths alone. That's very similar to what D-50 does, except M1 is equipped with much better PCM. It's a pity people just tend to use factory preset than explore the possibility and have fun
Fully agree. A while back I did a video that was specifically about that. Going beyond the presets on the Korg M1: ua-cam.com/video/ZKdzu-LFR-I/v-deo.html
Nice track, definitely brings back the 90's feel. CS1X was my first synth. I don't think people understand, but for it's time it was an affordable synth and I think I paid 650.00 for it. It's amazing what you would get now for way less. Still it was a good first synth and it survived a lot of gigs.
You know I love this type of trance more about the melody and the groove, I will say though I listen to the more darker side of this trance like brainbug
my liking for late 90s/early 00's trance definitely stems from the RISE FM radio station in GTA III. Such a great selection of progressive house and trance. Love this sound! Pure euphoria
CS1x was my fist synthetic love - damn how much I used it and learned how to program it - here it was important to know how to dump sysx files to the synth to achieve even fatter sounds :D - Sold my piece in the early 00s and regret it to this day... :o
Ohh you made me buy a cs1x. Just picked it up a day ago and I am definitely not disappointed. I love that high end and bit of crunch when you open the filter and resonance. This synth has a huge sweet spot there ❤❤
Another great track! It's great to see the process (both technical and creative) used to produce this style of music. One can appreciate the mastery behind the work when "play around with it" usually means insert the magic to make the difference between generic and memorable. Once again thank you for this!
Even if there is a lot of Cubase processing, you made me realize my CS1x deserves actually more love than it currently has... PS : You are very good at "just a matter of building a track" BTW ☺️
Holy shit dude you know how to make 90s bangers!!😂 I have this keyboard and although it's old I love it. It's great for creating dance music and that's what I heard but I didn't know what was possible until now!! 😂👍👍 Damn dude I want more tracks! That processed arpeggiator track was nuts! It's was the exact sound I have been looking for!
Geweldig! Ik ben blij dat youtube mij naar u heeft doorgewezen! Zelf ben ik aan het experimenten met "moderne" elektronische muziek, maar die 90's tunes zijn meer pakkend vind ik... Peace vanuit België!
Wow thats a very fantastic 90s trance track, something which im trying to come up myself. This sounds pretty much like the tracks we have from these days, i love it. you also captured that mysterious atmosphere, which we had back in the days. Im still trying to remake Push - The Legacy (Club Mix) - that bassline and and Pluck lead really put me always a smile in the face. With modern synths (soft) they is very hard :/ Thanks for the motivation and inspiration \o/ Looking forward to future videos.
Great video. Kudos for showing how much you can get from a single and clearly underrated instrument like this. I'm fascinated with the millennial era in dance music and the production methods of the times.
This is epic, absolutely epic. I would buy this on vinyl. This needs released. I demand it lol. Truthfully, you have nailed what is missing from today's trance music scene.
Awesome vid! Always like the folk that give these CS1x' some proper and much deserved love! Roland sure had a Godlike status back in those days. But I like my Yamaha's just as much! CS1x, CS2x and later AN1x that overpowers the JP-8000 on pretty much every aspect but didn't win the popularity contest. I still have them all, working perfectly where the JP died on me too soon. So yeah, Yamaha for the win! And although I'm collecting 90's and 00's synths for the fun of it, playing on them for hours at the time for years now, I've never managed to actually produced a track. And then I find your channel, and showing me it just isn't all that dificult. All I need to do it change a mindset, and focus on that instead of loosing myself running thru the mazes of synthesis finding pretty sounds all the time which turn collecting the sounds for a track in half an hour to continuously tweaking knobs from 16:00 till 5:30 on a workingday. Keep em coming! Greetz, Kryss
Your videos are just the best. Easy to follow, very to the point and they prove that you can achieve quite a lot with quite little. Thanks for making these. :)
Recently got into ''electronic'' music and synthesizers, got a cs1x 2nd hand for a great price. Seen so much hate about it online. No idea why, from everything i looked into (and my literally brand new to this knowledge of about 1 month) - it seems like the golden ticket to getting into learning synths (i looked into a ton before i found this for such a good price.) This was incredible man. :). Had no idea it could make something like this! Nice one!
Dude! Another winner! I loved that track, although I love ALL your tracks! I need to get me one of those CS1x's!! lol Its amazing what you can do with just one synth and some talent. Keep'm coming!
SUPERB - this takes me back to all night raves bashing the sounds! I only have an SH201 now. I had to get rid of my 'BIG' synths due to ack of space (Korg M3 and Roland Fantom X6)
와우~ cs1x을 이렇게 잘 사용하는 사람을 보다니 놀랍네요 나는 2001년에 cs1x을 구입했는데 2년정도 사용하다가 팔았습니다. 왜냐하면 악기의 능력을 낮게 평가했기 때문입니다. 하지만 역시 중요한것은 악기보다 사용자네요. 당신은 cs1x의 잠재력을 최대까지 끌어올렸습니다. 또한 당신이 만든것은 정확히 90년대 trance music scene을 연상하게 해줍니다. 나는 cs1x을 판매한지 오래됐지만 아직도 가끔 그립습니다. 그것은 cs1x이 무척 독특한 악기였다는 증거일지도 모릅니다.
5:00 that beat alone can easily be the basis for a more subdued techno/techno-trance of the era, just add some minimalistic atmospheric pad and it's... mmm... delicious!
Yep :) This is a bit of a side track video but in the 'official' (if there is such a thing') 'music like we're back in the 90's' series I'm planning to do an early 90's trance episode as well that probably will be more focused on the chill and hypnotic parts of the genre when it was still just starting.
You earned a sub with this video. First synthesizer I ever bought (back then for 1100 DM - Deutsche Mark) but I never really went deep into it. I was mostly using the presets and doing fun stuff like turning the Arp on for drums to create wicked techno drum loops while pressing 4 keys down lol. Thanks for refreshing my brain how good this thing actually is!
When I need a time-travel, I either watch a "Doctor Who" episode or one of your 90's vids! Btw. love this! Totally loved the trance of the 90's and the Epic sound of 2000-2001, and this is totally like the tunes of that time. I'm sure Tiesto, Ferry and Armin would have played that back then!
On my lunch at work checking out some of your videos and this one lept out at me! That old 90s trance sound is amazing I've always loved it and it's hard to replicate with only VST's and no room for any hardware. I've been making a lot of piano trancey style dnb tunes of late so I've combined two of my fave genres together.
Great rtrack buddy. I had a CS 6X back in the day and I would consider it to be one of the best synths for trance music. However, I don't miss having to record MIDI and then do a real time striping of tracks into Cubase. I much prefer VST's, they offer all the sound of the old gear, plus better options and they are immediately there with total recall. We are completely spolied with today's technology. Keep making these videos, they are great for nostalgia purposes.
Very good knowing where the trance sounds came from, very well explained, this fresh air is needed on UA-cam and not always the same, I get goose bumps when listening to the true sounds of trance and Progressive, good channel congratulations !! Let's see if you can emulate or see how Svenson & Gielen's songs were achieved, especially by svenson like acceleration, let me take your a triple, bocaccio-angels (svenson remix) .. etc greetings from Spain @stuera
Thanks, I've pulled out my old CS1x from the garage and play around with it. I bought both the MC-303 and CS1x back in the day. I regret selling the MC-303 and never was able to sell the CS1x.
The break in the full song really reminds me of Xpander by Sasha (which of course means it reminds me of Little Bullet by Spooky). Which, I guess, means that you totally hit your mark.
Very Cool! Love it! :) The CS1x & CS2x where the first synths i bought. Still own them, really need to clean them LOL If i remember correctly there where some nice sysex banks for it.
Jonas, you are so talented. There is so much 90s spirit in this track. I have a remark for you, I think the bassline is less dominating in the hole track, make it more fatter. That's not negative, that' s only the "taste" of my ears.
On my systems here it seems to be fine but I also didn't really want to make it too big and overpowering so it depends on what you're expecting. It wasn't meant to be as heavy as some of the hard trance oriented tracks of those days.
@@Estuera Ah okay! That's only my individual taste. I have here my KRK rokit RP 6 pairs and the older Roland DM-2100 2.1. No, no it doesn't need the level of hard trance, Jonas! I don't like any hard style types of EDM.

Amen to that bro!
Couldn’t agree more! 🙏
This comment gave me shivers.... fully agree! I miss this old trance music...
Better than most trance you would hear today. Loving the 90s trance series of videos! Keep er lit
late 90's early 2000 (generation 2) trance sounds the best for me

This track could be source of zillions of remixes!

Back in 1997, when I was 17 years old, I dropped out of college and got a job to save up pay for my CS1x. I still don't regret that decision 😁
my liking for late 90s/early 00's trance definitely stems from the RISE FM radio station in GTA III. Such a great selection of progressive house and trance. Love this sound! Pure euphoria
that game is also what introduced me to drum n bass with the MSX FM station. They really went off with DJ Timecode and MC Codebreaker
@@lavenderllamamusic check msx 98 from liberty City stories ;)
@@lavenderllamamusic oh, and an annother great set from GTA is Deadmaus/bsod radio from Chinatown wars.
Just dusted my Cs1X off with a new midi to usb cable. Can't wait to use it again!
Great work! You put a lot of effort into that track. Yamaha had a good run in the 90s, the stuff they built was really interesting and innovative.
VERY good work! Likes Mauro Picotto in the 90!
So You are the proof that is possible to make good trance today 🤩 maybe any 90s style hard trance?
I love the MIDI module in it its a nice bonus and i love the Final Fanrasy MIDIS for it

do you where to find tutorials , I have read the manual many times ins 20 years find it uselesss for mor advanced programing.

나는 2001년에 cs1x을 구입했는데 2년정도 사용하다가 팔았습니다. 왜냐하면 악기의 능력을 낮게 평가했기 때문입니다. 하지만 역시 중요한것은 악기보다 사용자네요. 당신은 cs1x의 잠재력을 최대까지 끌어올렸습니다. 또한 당신이 만든것은 정확히 90년대 trance music scene을 연상하게 해줍니다. 나는 cs1x을 판매한지 오래됐지만 아직도 가끔 그립습니다. 그것은 cs1x이 무척 독특한 악기였다는 증거일지도 모릅니다.
5:00 that beat alone can easily be the basis for a more subdued techno/techno-trance of the era, just add some minimalistic atmospheric pad and it's... mmm... delicious!
Yep :) This is a bit of a side track video but in the 'official' (if there is such a thing') 'music like we're back in the 90's' series I'm planning to do an early 90's trance episode as well that probably will be more focused on the chill and hypnotic parts of the genre when it was still just starting.
You earned a sub with this video. First synthesizer I ever bought (back then for 1100 DM - Deutsche Mark) but I never really went deep into it. I was mostly using the presets and doing fun stuff like turning the Arp on for drums to create wicked techno drum loops while pressing 4 keys down lol. Thanks for refreshing my brain how good this thing actually is!
Thanks and welcome :)
Love the track!
Wow this sounds epic, it definitely has that early trance vibe. That lead and gated pad sound is good enough to be in any modern trance track today :D
Sound better than 95% of todays trance. There's something about those sounds.
That track is deadly!!!! Awsome!!!
Ufff.....I had this CS1x in 1997 sequenced by a MC-303 by Roland....loved it in these times tbh
When I need a time-travel, I either watch a "Doctor Who" episode or one of your 90's vids! Btw. love this! Totally loved the trance of the 90's and the Epic sound of 2000-2001, and this is totally like the tunes of that time. I'm sure Tiesto, Ferry and Armin would have played that back then!
yup, subscribed
OMG I LOVE THIS
On my lunch at work checking out some of your videos and this one lept out at me! That old 90s trance sound is amazing I've always loved it and it's hard to replicate with only VST's and no room for any hardware.
I've been making a lot of piano trancey style dnb tunes of late so I've combined two of my fave genres together.
At 10:29 it reminds me a little bit of Xpander by Sasha. Great job! I did own a CS1x at one point. I wish I had kept it and not sold it.
Great rtrack buddy. I had a CS 6X back in the day and I would consider it to be one of the best synths for trance music. However, I don't miss having to record MIDI and then do a real time striping of tracks into Cubase. I much prefer VST's, they offer all the sound of the old gear, plus better options and they are immediately there with total recall. We are completely spolied with today's technology. Keep making these videos, they are great for nostalgia purposes.
I have same synth still love it till now ! nice vid !
Great track, great video, informative and inspirative. Thx
Very good knowing where the trance sounds came from, very well explained, this fresh air is needed on UA-cam and not always the same, I get goose bumps when listening to the true sounds of trance and Progressive, good channel congratulations !! Let's see if you can emulate or see how Svenson & Gielen's songs were achieved, especially by svenson like acceleration, let me take your a triple, bocaccio-angels (svenson remix) .. etc greetings from Spain @stuera
Fantastic trance, love your videos, thumb up!
Goosebumps!
Thanks, I've pulled out my old CS1x from the garage and play around with it. I bought both the MC-303 and CS1x back in the day. I regret selling the MC-303 and never was able to sell the CS1x.
The break in the full song really reminds me of Xpander by Sasha (which of course means it reminds me of Little Bullet by Spooky). Which, I guess, means that you totally hit your mark.
Amazing mix. Truly fantastic
good ideas - make good production and it will be ASOT tune of the week
I'm enjoying your videos more and more. Good job!
Great result!
Very Cool! Love it! :)
The CS1x & CS2x where the first synths i bought. Still own them, really need to clean them LOL
If i remember correctly there where some nice sysex banks for it.
Because of your videos, i'm about to buy a cs1x, nice synth :) (Nice video btw)
Great!!!!
Thank you mate you deserve so many more subs but here’s one more for you from UK, your work inspires me to create 🤩😎
Thanks for the sub :) and now go and make some music ! Honored that I could help you get inspired :)
Xpander vibes! Great video!
Jonas, you are so talented. There is so much 90s spirit in this track. I have a remark for you, I think the bassline is less dominating in the hole track, make it more fatter. That's not negative, that' s only the "taste" of my ears.
On my systems here it seems to be fine but I also didn't really want to make it too big and overpowering so it depends on what you're expecting. It wasn't meant to be as heavy as some of the hard trance oriented tracks of those days.
@@Estuera Ah okay! That's only my individual taste. I have here my KRK rokit RP 6 pairs and the older Roland DM-2100 2.1. No, no it doesn't need the level of hard trance, Jonas! I don't like any hard style types of EDM.
This is simply amazing!
