He's a Pirate - Custom cover on Motif XS8 keyboard

[Alex1234564]

Hey man AWESOME JOB! I was wondering can you use as many instruments as you want for songs using cubase? It says that your limited to only 4 instruments using the xs8 alone. Thanks! :D

[DocGrim1]

Wow, Nice work!



[mruppel2]

I thought Tyros was big, but Motif is HUGE!

BTW great performance!

Amazing! I have a MO6 and I learn how use. You create all voices? include drums and cellos ?

[Ramanou14]

@adryanobond

Hi Adryano! Thank you. In fact, all the voices come from the Motif itself. Including orch and drum kits. : )

[adryanobond]

@Ramanou14 But you have edit with Cubase?

[NoahLDiamond]

How much do you charge to produce original work for independent movies? I would like to consult with you in regards to some original work. It is an independent film, but it is not without a budget, so if we can work something out... with your skills and your instrumental tools, I believe proper payment compensation can be worked out. Please contact me if you get the chance via youtube. If you can submit some of your ORIGINAL works as a portfolio, I may give you a call to talk business. No joke.

[Ramanou14]

@NoahLDiamond

Hi Noah!

Waow, such a pretty good idea! Of course, we can talk about that more seriously. Write me a personnal e-mail and we can discuss about it.

See you around, and thank you for appreciation.

[durva2011]

[valterjardineiro]

Hey man it was preety nice. I'm planing on playing this song also on keyboard. Did you make the backing track or did you just get it somewhere?

[Ramanou14]

@valterjardineiro

Thank you much.

I did the backing track by myself : )

[TheAzeRealm]

Who's Tuomas Holopainen? I am Finnish so it interests me... lol :D

[Ramanou14]

@TheAzeRealm

O'right ! So "who's Tuomas Holopainen" :

According to me, it's one of the best keyboard music programmers in the world. He's the leader and composer of the Finnish Gothic band called "Nightwish" (type "Tuomas Holopainen - The Angel of Music" here in YouTube). Thanks for comment ! Peace !

[TheAzeRealm]

@Ramanou14 Thanks! Yeah, I know Nightwish and it makes good music. I did also just remember that I heard it once somewhere, only couldn't remember where. =D

[02ViruSs]

@SilverfangX777

Hi Silver!

Yes, they are, real piano touch (but only on the XS8, not on the 6 and 7)

[SilverfangX777]

[MIGHToKONdriak]

are you using the stock sounds from the motif? or are these 3rd party sounds?

JW cuz they sound amazing. But they wouldn't sound half as amazing if you didn't know how to play those keys like u do.

Major Props to you. Ur a Wizard!

[Ramanou14]

@MIGHToKONdriak

Hi!

Yes, it's all Motif XS sounds, no 3rd party at all.

Thank you much homie.

[Ramanou14]

@AltayGENC

Thank U.

The problem is I don't have enough place at home. :-)

[mcmats]

[ShadowiGeneral]

@Ramanou14 How long did it take you to make this?

[Ramanou14]

@ShadowiGeneral

Hi!

Let's say ... half a day. :-)

[pianoquest]

Sweet man, I have that board too. Could you explain to me how to record a built-in drum beat Arpeggio into a normal track on the Song function? I'm just starting with it. Oh, and what sound did you use for the main melody? String-wise?

[Ramanou14]

@pianoquest

Hi Pianoquest!

Thank you for appreciation.

So, I'm making all this under Cubase Ai4 first, never try to record on Arpeggio but I know it's possible too with Cubase, think setting is"Arpeggio to Pc" rec mode... didn't try yet buet, should be this.

Otherwise, I played the main melody with "Strings Section". :-)

That's all for today homie, see ya around. ;-)

Peace.

[TheKpprateesh]

I hv a yamaha psr 530.. Is there any rhythm in it, tat can use it for this song ?

[Ramanou14]

@TheKpprateesh

Hi!

I had Yam PSR 630; 730 and 2000. I'm not sure but I think there should be in the 530.. I found one which is not so bad but in the ... Tyros 3 !!! :-/

But I'm sure you can fain one in the 530.

Regards.

[TheKpprateesh]

@Ramanou14

Thanks dude...

[CroweDharma]

Amazing! You are awesome for doing this! Please make more of these from Pirates or other Hans Zimmer music!

[Ramanou14]

@CroweDharma

Hi Mista Crow!

Thank you, I appreciate.

So, I'll try to have more time to compose other POTC song theme. I'd like to make my own version of "Barbosa is hungry" in a near future. :-)
