Very well done. I have a lot of respect for people who achieve astounding results with limited equipment. Everyone - well, almost everyone - can sound like Depeche Mode if you buy exactly the same synths or use the same samples. The talent is to sweat the equipment you have and stretch the boundaries of what is possible.
As a loyal subscriber, I so very glad you did this. Brings back memories of my first Yamaha, and brightens my day that you still have yours and are making RAD music with it.
@wjec1970 thanks! it's important to point out that this is a CS01II. The original CS01 had a more limited resonance control, which would make some of the sounds here (ie the drums) unachievable.
Amazing!! This has to be one of the best New Life covers out there on youtube!! The sounds are really great coming of this thing. Kudos on the drum sounds you were able to produce.
@milo98 thanks! it takes a bit of extra work to get decent drum sounds from the CS01II. for this, both the kick and the snare have two seperate components, tracked seperately. the kick consists of a low thud mixed with a resonance click. the snare is a white noise burst mixed with a resonance knock. i could have cheated by sampling the drums from the original, or using a korg kr55 sample for the snare, but that wouldn't have been any fun!
