    My 2015 EP, "Eliza the Android": envelopegenera...
    Facebook: / envgen
    A dancey synth cover of Computer Love by Kraftwerk played live.
    Bass - Microkorg (arpeggiator mode)
    Pad - Commodore 64 (MSSIAH sequencer)
    Lead - Roland Juno 6
    Drums - Alesis Performance Pad (which was also midi clocking everything)
    Filter sweep - ARP Axxe
    Delay - Electro-Harmonix Memory Man (pad), Microkorg (bass)
    Everything going into the many inputs of my TASCAM Portastudio with a stereo output into my computer and recorded into Cubase.
    Mastered by my good friend Sam.

    From a Kraftwerk fan: No need to apologize, absolutely fabulous!
    I'd consider this as a tribute. Great job!

    Well done. Nice to see a young guy playing the analog synths that I played when I was your same age (1979-1982).... you bring back a lot of good memories. Thanks.

    Hey, I'm a Kraftwerk fan, and I still think you did a good job on it! It's rare to find someone who's younger, got good/classic equipment, and most importantly knows how to use it. :) Nice work! And good taste in music!

    Wow, Kraftwerk are awesome and so are you. Computer World is a fantastic album and anyone how has heard the segue from 'Numbers' to 'Computer World pt.2' will know how awesome it really is.

    The SID chip in the C64 was an amzing 3 voice synth, I remember playing with it on an outboard keyboard controller and loading patches from a casette.
    The SID chip designers went on to form ENSONIC, the rest is history. Great groove dude! Brings back many memories, and dates me.

      That's because you're a very good synth player, because Kraftwerk's ''Computer Love'' is amazing, and because you are a very handsome boy and have a wonderful hair.

  • @gibsonflyingv2820

    I'd say the best cover of Kraftwerk I've ever heard, replicating those tones they put on those old school albums is no small feat.

  • @GhostOfACPast

    @EnvelopeGenerator Awesome, and that just goes to show how good that sid chip was for such stuff.

    Well, thats me subscribed. Watched this and the 80s medley so far.
    Great stuff. Love your style, your pony tail your lack of a computer DAW. How refreshingly original you are in a jam packed world of clones

  • @Shyyrn
    @Shyyrn 15 років тому

    On a whim, I typed in "synth" on UA-cam, got the synth medley you did with your two friends (excellent work, by the way), decided to search the rest of your videos, saw this and went "Ooh, Kraftwerk!"... and here I am. :)
    Very nice job on this! Love the equipment!

  • @KohanaCoyote

  • @EnvelopeGenerator

    A lot of live synth stuff is playback, and for good reason - when you're playing everything in real-time like in this video, there's not much room for variation! Glad you liked it though :)

    I love "Computer World" of Kraftwerk!!! I've again the original K7 that works again 31 years after...so much time has passed. Happy to see that a young like you continues the legend, and uses the old analog synthesizers that i know, of course, very well! ;-)
    I wish you the best for your music! Bruno dei COSMIC DREAMERS

    thanks for the nice clip! nice to see that guys who are supposedly half as young as me have a mind for kraftwerk classics. and as enigma already mentioned: the C64 in the back adds to the sheer coolness :)

  • @john2477
    @john2477 14 років тому

    I was working in a music store when most of these keyboards were brand new (Not that long ago) and they still sound just as good now as then. Of course a skilled play make a huge difference. Good job!

  • @Rbrownsword
    @Rbrownsword 14 років тому

    Really nice demo of how people used to use these synths, a. setting up different sounds on each, and b. playing them live. Commodore 64 is a an interesting addition.

    Niceness! Outstanding version, loved it to bits. Me and my mates from school went to see the Computerworld tour in 1981 and next day were wielding soldering irons trying to build our own synths and percussion boxes. We'd have killed to have a setup like yours, looks like the only bits missing are the Prophet 5 and CS80 :-)
