  • This is my instrumental cover of The Neverending Story by Limahl, originally produced by Giorgio Moroder.
    Check out my other covers from The Never-ending Story here:
    • Ivory Tower: • The NeverEnding Story ...
    • Bastian's Happy Flight: • The NeverEnding Story ...
    I worked out all the individual parts by ear, and produced it inside Cubase 11 Pro.
    The keyboards you see in this video are my Roland FP60 digital piano and Akai MPK249 MIDI controller.
    Hope you like it.
    Thanks for watching.

    • @juliancroot
      @juliancroot  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks. I actually didn't get it quite right here, but its still not just one arpeggio, but two! The double arpeggio trick is one I've noticed Giorgio Moroder used in a few of his popular productions.
      I got it right in my cover of 'Ivory Tower', and I think I'd do a better job with neverending story if I did it again.
      I couldn't tell you exactly what i did in this as it was a while a go now, but try playing the second arppeggio as a 'first inversion' of the first... i.e. move the root note of the chord to the top, and the second note to the root. It creates an interesting 'chasing' type of effect, which is why its so difficult to follow by ear.

  • @karlknutzen4646

    • @juliancroot
      @juliancroot  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks 👍. I made this a long time ago now and I actually think the arpeggio part needs more work. It's ok, but it's still not right.
      If I was to do it again now I'd do a better job.
      I learned from my mistake when I made Ivory Tower which more accurately tracks the original arpeggio style.
      Yes, the secret is two arpeggios (each slightly different) running in tandem so it creates a kind of chasing effect.

      @@karlknutzen4646 In this I used the same voice, but it should be different. You can hear it in my Ivory Tower how it should be set up... the left and right ear sound different. Admittedly its a different track, but its a better example of how it should be done.

    • @juliancroot
      @juliancroot  2 роки тому +1

      From memory (this was a while ago now) I used a combination of the basic choir patch on my Roland FP60 digital piano, and one from ReFx Nexus.
      It's nothing special, and I'd probably do something a bit different if I was to do it again.

    Turn around
    Look at what you see
    In her face
    The mirror of your dreams
    Make believe I'm everywhere
    Given in the light
    Written on the pages
    Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
    Reach the stars
    Fly a fantasy
    Dream a dream
    And what you see will be
    Rhymes that keep their secrets
    Will unfold behind the clouds
    And there upon a rainbow
    Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
    Story, ah
    Show no fear
    For she may fade away
    In your hand
    The birth of a new day
    Rhymes that keep their secrets
    Will unfold behind the clouds
    And there upon a rainbow
    Is the answer to a never ending story, ah
    Never ending story, ah
    Never ending story, ah

    • @juliancroot
      @juliancroot  3 роки тому +2

      Hi and thank you.
      The Arpeggio here is actually two arpeggiators in tandem.. Each set slightly differently to get that 'chasing' effect.
      To me it's still not quite right but I must've made it reasonably convincing as you're not the first to ask.
      If I get chance this evening, I'll do a live stream music production Q&A session and include this.

      Hi, I created it myself but it was very difficult to figure out and I know its still not quite right.
      I used 2 parts together and arpeggiated both of them slightly differently, then tweaked the chord inversions throughout the song so neither part went too high or low.

      Everybody asks this... It's two arpeggios working together. Giorgio Moroder seams to have used this technique in a few tracks (it's more obvious in Ivory Tower).
      I can't remember what I did with this exactly but I didn't get it quite right here and would do it differently if I were starting again.... But you won't get the feel of it with one arpeggio, you need two.
