Delay on Arpegiator (Jean Michel Jarre) - Tutorial

[oknomonter]

chrisbern75,

What kind of sound( name of sample) did you used as bass?

[chrisbern75]

@oknomonter I don't use any samples for analog sounds. I just made it on synthesizer in Reason.

[CyberMassimo]

You told me that you're not so good to explain but this video demonstrate the contrary. Great job ! pls keep doing other tutorials like this..the jarre community will be very grateful to you ...

[Synthexy]

Wow, this is GREAT!! Could you publisch this as an rps file?

[Dart974]

Impressionnant , bravo !

[melantoriano]

without delays remember me a kraftwerk style

[Riezz73]

i mean ur arpegiator cover and tutorial :)..

damn, u lost the file? that s*cks....

[Riezz73]

again,.. i have seen this tut of the delays for many times, but people.. this is by far the best one, closest to the original!!

very very very good!!!

[chrisbern75]

@Riezz73 Thank You very much :) But You mean my Arpegiator cover (see video responses here) not this tutorial or?

Actually I am sad because I noticed for 2 weeks, that I cancelled my Reason workfile with Arpegiator. I replaced my finished version with older not finished version :/...

[microkorger]

nice video, i learned to play the bassline, but can't see the notes for the melody that starts at 1:01 :(

[chrisbern75]

@microkorger The best way could be just to hear and play by ear. Its not difficult. Try it! Playing by ear is very very important :). If is no solution for You then you can see how I am playing this on my Arpegiator live video. You can see there few of Arpegiator arrangement lines. Look on my channel for it. Regards!

[microkorger]

@chrisbern75 thanks, i'll do that. it's easy i know - but it's easy when a melody is complicated(like Equinoxe 4 or something), but i was trying to play the Arpegiator bass for ages - just because it uses only 3 notes:)

[peggymount]

Nice .Thank you.

[presoman]

Astounding, mate! Congratulations on so successfully dissecting the track :)

[fischek]

magnificent

[wutierson]

Congratulations for your work ,Chrisbern, very good ear and knowledge.

One question, how can you make these finger snap sound? I like very much these sound but I don't know what drum machine makes this sound.

Lot of grettings!

[chrisbern75]

@wutierson This finger snap is only one sample from original and I have no idea how to make it on synthesizer...

[haakonlunde]

Very. Very. Nice. :)

[haakonlunde]

Very. Very. Nice job. :-)

[schmittwilli]

As a keyboarder in a band try to use a delay ( Mach des scheiss escho aus! ) ( get the f...beep! of that f...beep..ing echo! )

Great workout wit reason. Got to go to my favs!

[chrisbern75]

@schmittwilli Ha, ha, Das sind die Puristen: "bloß keine Effekte, es soll natürlich klingen" und dann klingt es, wie Sch.... :D

[PatGleeson123]

Immaculate cover version. Real talent sir !

[anxiousnightingale]

5 stars for this video ! thank you.

But, could you put the same video but WITHOUT DELAY entirely ? Because, I think it's beautiful also without delay. thank you !

[jetamez]

Gracias...buenísimo. Grandioso trabajo...te agradecería subir más tutoriales sobre música de Jarre,,

[red2mybone]

Wow, this is realy a great tut. Indeed the sounds are very like the originals, how do you do that - which instruments and FX do you use to create the sounds - I work with reason.

[chrisbern75]

I made it with Reason 3.0 and used mainly the subtracors as synths (bass is combined from 2 subtractors). Now I make this great Jarre-Basses (Equinoxe, Arpegiator, Magnetic Fields) of course in Thor (Reason 4.0). Drums are drum samples from Linn Drum (search in Internet). For the synth Hi hat I used some analog Hi hat and I modulated in Redrum his pitch with external LFO from subtractor.

[red2mybone]

Thanks a lot Chrisbern,

I will try to make the sound, did you use standard presets from Reason Flatpack ?

Greetz

[chrisbern75]

No, for JMJ covers I don't use presets. I make this sounds on Thor and Subtractor. In Arpegiator only Choir is Reason preset.

[eXXXXos]

Excellent work ! Very nice job and respectful of the original song, which is rare...

Any chance that you ever release the Reason file, even in protected format, so fans can have a close look on how you constructed the song ? :)

Keep up your good work and thanks for sharing this with us !

[robisandor]

Great job man,I love arpegiator since the first time,i stil believe its timeless and JM Jarre is an alien ;) (just like Gershon Kingsley)..without the delays this song sounds like music from somr Atari game,from the 80's LOL! Great job man,thnx

[Nord72]

Amazing job, keep up the good work :)

[robxxbp]

Hi, very cool explanation and cover.

Congratulations for the job.

[WezBolton]

Which refill are you using?

[chrisbern75]

There are no Refills. Only the samples from Linn Drum are not from Reason.

[Lornoir92]

Respects. You are a pro.

[chrisbern75]

Thanx Lornoir :)

[chrisbern75]

:) This about Oxygene 8 I didn't know and about Oxygene 2 I know it sice Oxygene Tour 2008. Francis Rimert plays this 4/4 bass on Minimoog :)

[thhedk]

Great tutorial!

Yes Jarre uses this 3/4 delay alot, did you know that the bass on Oxygene 2 only plays 4/4 notes?

The most crazy is Oxygene 8 because the original notes starts 1/16 before start, so it is the delay that plays the notes you hear :o)

[Katarsislab]

Good Job friend.

[padavalos]

Simple .. It's amazing .. GREAT JOB !!

[kirmet79]

hi, what is this for a arpegiator, its very, very good

[sailorsatelite020712]

As a long-time fan of Jean-Michel Jarre, I have to say this tutorial is very instructive. And gratz for replicating the music too!

[Fluidvirgo]

Sounds just like the original, great stuff!!

[sEIGu]

amazing, how simple jarre's masterpiece is. real musicians might heard it years ago, but this is a VERY good analysis of the arpegiator.

nevertheless, one of jarres pest piecaes. it's no shame to use this simple technology.

thanks for the work. awesome.

[trolliglollig]

why dont you go back in time for 30 years and program a better arpegiator, without having modern computers and virtual software instruments..

[sEIGu]

hmm. i didn't say, i could. that's why it's a masterpiece?

calm down :)

[aldit1966]

Amazing sequence!

[linkinjarre]

306873460'98678690'756089736*. very nice! what program used for this?

[chrisbern75]

This is Reason 3.0 from Propellerheads. I love this software ans all my covers i make on Reason :)

[rfoshaug]

One of the best tutorial videos I've seen!! 5 stars! :-)

[jarrelana]

Perfect!...Reason is amazing!5*

[chrisbern75]

Oh yes. I love this software :)

[phillypizzasteaksub1]

Very cool. I love exploring music and all it's possibilities. Thanks for the post. Btw, wasn't this song longer?

[chrisbern75]

Yes, that's right - it was longer

[Synnin]

[chrisbern75]
