Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe I intro on the Eminent 310

The intro of Equinoxe. Always the best piece to show off to friends. JMJ used the same instrument on his album so the sound is instantly recognizable. The intro isn't all too complicated but to do it as fast as it shoud without any mistakes is tricky. It took me quite a few overdubs to create the vid, but the result is reasonable:)

Well executed...I find myself playing this a lot of late (normally the first thing I play when I sit down) but with a lot of badly times notes!! What your're doing there is very proficient & extremely hard to pull off!

Which keyboard (& patch) are you playing...cos it sounds fairly identical to the album!

[Synctuary]

Thanks. It's not a keyboard but an organ. The Eminent 310. The sound is identical because JMJ used the same organ for the recording of Equinoxe. It is a wonderful instrument with loads of tricks up its sleeve ;-)

what's the synth sitting on top?

[Synctuary]

It's a Roland Juno 60 synthesizer

[AnalogX]

Is this one of those E310's??

[Synctuary]

yep. It's the theater- edition and has a nicer look and a drummachine :)

[keyboardjeff]

Sounds just like the original.

It has something like that, but it sounds totally different, btw i've already have had 2 310U's, one of them is modified to a portable version, played by YT user "albertspyker".

@czolgista999 I think it has no string section

Is the sustain built into the 310 or do you have to do some creative patchwork through a reverb?

[MusicOfJOS]

I always thought, in the original recording, he used a sort of delay effect to have that double-hit sound for the Eminent...but maybe not.

[notjarre]

Classic track. Your playing is very solid - nice & even & well paced. Great job!! Gotta love that eminent sound!

[DJGahann]

Nice one, I still need to practice on my E310 :-) Is that a Juno up there?
