How to make the main synth sound from "Nangs" by Tame Impala. I used my Roland Juno 106 and the free TAL reverb II plugin. Thanks for watching. Stay wavy
This is the perfect video to teach someone basic sound design. This can apply to any synth (whether it be a VST or a real hardware one). i can literally credit this video for teaching me how to find my way around Sylenth1 a while ago. now i can make any sound I want
This is like food for the brain. I could literally take a bite out of this. I feel the smooth feeling of this with my breathing. Smooth and delicious, so good
Kevin‘s pretty upset I guess... he already made more accounts to dislike it. The other ones are the Ponds, the band that accompanies him on stage, Kevin for sure sent them.
I find it so interesting when I find someone has gone to the effort to figure this out just to show people. Videos like this inspire me to come up new ideas. I also dont think it takes away from how good the original song is at all.
hey man, im trying this on the TAL plugin and struggling (new to synths), is it cause im not using a reverb? The LFO control differences are throwing me off too even though i've been playing around with it for a while now. Any help would be appreciated man
If you own a Deepmind 12 I re-created the original JUNO-106 Factory presets that you can load into it! Here's a link to hear the presets and the download link is in the bio: ua-cam.com/video/kLCo1tTiVjc/v-deo.html
It's so close, but to truly emulate the Nangs patch, the LFO needs to be a rising sawtooth shape rather than triangle like the Juno has. If you're looking to emulate it all the way, this is the one thing missing from the video! The 106 can't do it though, you would likely need to use a software synth like Serum with a custom LFO shape.
The actual patch he used on the album is “Greek Power” from the jv-1080, with an lfo added. You can hear the same patch without the lfo on other songs like Reality In Motion and Yes I’m Changing
Merh_ 1041 I run a cable from each of the two outputs of the Juno 106 into two separate channels on the focusrite. Select your interface within your daw settings and that’s about it
Do you recommend buying a Juno 106? I have so much regret for nor getting one about two months back since the price has skyrocketed recently. Do you think the price might drop again or should I just bite the bullet and buy incase they continue rising
If you're a collector and think you would keep it your whole life, it might be worth it. If you're a bedroom producer or play on stage I would recommend something cheaper and more versatile
@@Kyle-fj2zq thank you I really appreciate it. Are there any good alternatives you recommend? My favourite abour the Juno is having all of the controls right in front of you to use and mess with.
Vid Jenko It does sound that way, but the juno 106 doesn't have that feature onboard, so I think it might be an external effect. Or a different synth altogether on the record. who knows
Oh I get what you mean, so no, the reason the lfo sounds like a saw at some time it’s because Kevin in actually randomly messing maybe with the lfo shape at sometimes to make it sound choppy and not as nice and round as the sine wave lfo
@@Kyle-fj2zq the patch is called Greek Power on the JV-1080 rackmount synth with a reverse saw LFO. No Juno involved aside from the leads later in the song. mystery solved
@@Kyle-fj2zq use autofilter on ableton and apply a reverse saw, then bring down the frequency and adjust the envelopes to create the filter movement. the chorus and filters alone prove it's not the Juno.
Just to be really annoying (not that this matters) the init state you started from would actually have the HPF setting at 1 - that's actually the off position for the HPF, and 0 is a special mode where it actually boosts the bass frequencies! With that said, that setting is half the charm of the 106 pads when used with that monstrous sub-oscillator, so as I say it really doesn't matter :D
@@Kyle-fj2zq It 100% does!! The only time I'll set it higher is to sit better in a mix live, I'd rather just keep it at 0 and EQ it otherwise. Sorry, I forgot to say but I love your video by the way! As others have said it is honestly one of the easiest demonstrations of how to build sounds easily from scratch, and I liked how careful you were in setting the parameters using your ear :)
Could’ve been two ways, simple way is by sustaining chords with a sustain pedal and then using the filter, other way is by using midi to trigger the 106, which has midi, and then controlling the filter.
Yep. Set the reface to poly mode. Set the octave switch to zero. Assign LFO to the filter (lfo depth at 6, speed around 4). Use sawtooth waveform with the texture set to 10. Lower the cutoff to about 3.3 and raise the resonance to 2. Set the EG slider to about 8. In the ADSR section, keep the attack at 0, decay at 5.5, sustain at 10, and release at 5. Use some chorus with both depth and rate around 3. That should get you pretty close
It made me so happy when the sound finally came together
I mean it’s not complex

You're here!
hiii found u
I like the part where it go wa wa wa wa wa wa
If I had a juno I think I would never stop playing that
You're lying to yourself if you didn't let out a "But is there something more than that" at 1:40
I did 😆
loooool
It's almost instinctual ngl
Did it right as I read this comment

this is a basic synth patch lol
@@VincentsVideoVisions truly pushing the limits of sound design with a sawtooth and an LFO
The only dislike is from Kevin himself
why would he even dislike the video tho
@@blubfishuwaaa cause he’s mad someone figured it out
@@blubfishuwaaa no cause it’s a different synth than he uses...it’s a model off

lol it kinda does. I play that bassline in one of my other videos. at about 01:55

right on the money!
This is beautiful!
Perfect! Now I need the Juno 106
It's about time I got recommended this gem!

i found the exact patch used in Gossip on my XP-30 and it made me so happy
What’s the patch called
@@yagermane733 Flying Waltz
This really is great! Souds just as good on my juno 6.
Listening to this at night and I’m shedding a tear
that's so helpful thank you
Love this song - Tame Impala ;-)
really like your tutorials bro
You’re a great teacher, this is good content, I subscribed!!
I’ve not heard of Nangs before but this was neat :)
Igors theme
This deserves 9999999999999999 subs
This sounds like candy and rainbows
Sounds like a bluish violet color
awesome
We like this synthesiser.
Cool.
So dopeeee
your Juno is so beautiful
legendary
Now i just need the synth
I very much like this indeed.
Nice Job Kevin Parker!
cool man
This is fucking lit dude. Great vid
ive never heard the song but this is neat
ive always wanted a juno 106, beautiful vintage synthesizer, if you want more songs that use one, check out White Ferrari by Frank Ocean!
Amazing! I made it in TAL U NO LX vst. Thanks:)
hey man, im trying this on the TAL plugin and struggling (new to synths), is it cause im not using a reverb? The LFO control differences are throwing me off too even though i've been playing around with it for a while now. Any help would be appreciated man
Nangs was my first tame impala song
Yep i like this video
THIS IS DOOOPE!
Shit I am getting a major 2014 vibe rn
i felt that
On god, really miss that vibes
take me back
The album came out in 2015..was nangs released earlier?

this was pleasing. How were you holding the camera?
My girlfriend held the camera for this one. But sometimes I put my pop socket in my mouth.
@@Kyle-fj2zq haha gross, but thank you
Are you running the Juno through anything besides the reverb? Sound quality sounds really nice
Nothing else, just the Juno plugged straight into my shitty focusrite interface
Dang that's a clean Juno. Did you clean the buttons yourself? Mine are all green... Nice wood cheeks aswell. (:
Nah, I bought it in this condition. I'd prefer having the black plastic side cheeks to be honest, but the wood makes mine unique I guess.

Damn we cryin for some reason
I have a request Can you do “eventually” my good man !!
I want a Juno 106
This made me fucking smile aha
kinda random but what editing software did you use? I like the little text pop-up animation lol
Whatever the stock video editor is that comes with windows 10. I will say it is trash lmao.
@@Kyle-fj2zq 😂😂 thanks
Owned this synth in the 80s and only played the presets. Never experimented with the controls. What a damned fool I was.
Nangs eventually

How do you record the Audio, is it via Audio interface? I’m tying to find out so I can record my audio to ableton
Merh_ 1041 I use a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface to record audio. Cheers
Can you explain the way you set it up so I can get it right?
Merh_ 1041 I run a cable from each of the two outputs of the Juno 106 into two separate channels on the focusrite. Select your interface within your daw settings and that’s about it
@@Merh_1041 and select the stereo input in your daw
But is there something more then that?
Pro tip it works on JupiterXM
holy balls
this gives Tyler vibes

can you please show how to save it and load it?
Not my video, but here’s how!

thanks for this, does this work for the roland ju06a?
It should. You might have to tweak your sliders a few millimeters, but all the parameters from the 106 translate to the ju06a
@@Kyle-fj2zq thanks kyle, i am really close will try again tomorrow :)
That wubwub makes me bust
How much is that keyboard
Is there any specific preset you are using? I am using Antruias emulated Juno and I can't seem to find the sound you sart with
I just start with bare saw waves
@@Kyle-fj2zq Really appreciate the response 👏

can you do more of these for other tame songs
sure, any requests?
@@Kyle-fj2zq the synth for gossip would be great

who moved the filter during the recording?
Could’ve played the notes via midi and used both hands to tweak the sliders
Noise
But only for a moment
You said you used a plugin, so this isn't just straight produced by the synth? If not, how do you load the plugin?
I only used the plugin for reverb. Its not really needed to make the sound
@@Kyle-fj2zq is it built into the keyboard like all hardware?
@@chadross No. I added the effect in post
@@Kyle-fj2zq Are you playing using a DAW or just like raw input? Sorry if I make no sense, trying to learn

I can hear the basslines
I wonder how he recorded the change of frequency while performing this 🤔
by being good
Could’ve been two ways, simple way is by sustaining chords with a sustain pedal and then using the filter, other way is by using midi to trigger the 106, which has midi, and then controlling the filter.
Can you get a sound like this on a Yamaha CS Reface?
Yep. Set the reface to poly mode. Set the octave switch to zero. Assign LFO to the filter (lfo depth at 6, speed around 4). Use sawtooth waveform with the texture set to 10. Lower the cutoff to about 3.3 and raise the resonance to 2. Set the EG slider to about 8. In the ADSR section, keep the attack at 0, decay at 5.5, sustain at 10, and release at 5.

@@Kyle-fj2zq oh wow sick! Thanks for all the params. I just bought a reface as it is smaller than the 106.
