New Sound: Black Eyed Peas - Gotta Feeling (opening sound)

Post by enigmahack »

I've been working on this one for a while, and finally (I think) nailed it. Anyone who's wanted it, come and get it.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/490 ... ngDemo.PCG

There are three sections, the Cello on the LH, the Repeating pattern in the middle (guitars) and the right hand is the violin.

Also, there's the performance pads that allow you to play the whole intro as I've done in the demo. (I'm using the Korg nanoPAD 2)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/490 ... ngDemo.mp3

This was all played live, using the pads and keeping the guitar rhythm going on the right hand.

The pad order was 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 (To get the melody of the violin and cello together while keeping the guitar pattern playing)

Enjoy!

No need to request here too Benny. I got your ask in the other thread, here in this thread and again in PM.

I'll get to it when I can :)

Hi,

Thank you very much for sharing -that's a great Combi!

May I add one suggestion? I find it a little hard to play cello and strings in a legato style using the pads. The solution I chose when building a combi was to put the high strings on the lowest octave of my K61 and the cello in the octave above. This way I can play the cello part with fingers 1 and 2 of the left hand, and strings with fingers 4 and 5 - works quite well.

Maybe someone doing this song live wants to try out...

Again: Thank you!
Greg

I use two hands for the string parts as our guitar player plays the guitar part. Still I think you did a good job on the sound!

Thanks everyone. It's amazing what you can do when you have the isolated tracks and a little bit of sound know-how :)
