Genesis - Watcher of the Skies (Intro Only)

Hi,

where can I find this soundfont ?

[DavieMarshall]

Hi,

I'm not sure where it can be downloaded from, but I could find it out for you and send it to you if you'd like.

Just drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll upload it to a file transfer website.

Just so you know though, in this video I'm using the actual mellotron sound Tony Banks used recorded from an actual factual mellotron, and combining it with a sound from another piece of software (Proteus X). You'll be able to get very close to the original with just the soundfont though.

is that a mellotron patch that you have? it sounds awesome! would i be able to get some kind of mellotron patch for my casio privia 330?

[DavieMarshall]

Hi. It's a mellotron soundfont. Basically an exact replica recording of the sound of one of the settings on the original Mellotron.

If you Casio has MIDI capabilities, sure you'd be able to download the software needed to play the soundfont of the Mellotron and then trigger the sounds via your Casio.

It's possible to get soundfonts of pretty much most of the Mellotron. If you look at my Entangled video that uses the same Mellotron male choir sound as the mellotron too.

ok thanks =)

what transcriptor are you talking about???

[DavieMarshall]

There used to be a website, "Watcher of the Scores" which had sheet music for a number of early Genesis pieces. However, the site seems to have fallen into the abyss of the internet.

[ELIOREYES]

HI where or how you learn to play the genesis songs???

[DavieMarshall]

Hi, this is mostly figured out by ear with the use of one or two transcriptions available on the internet (or at least they were). As a result I use different inversions to some other video's I've seen on Youtube.

[DavieMarshall]

I've probably been playing for about a year in a month or so's time.
