MiMa feat. Van Halen - I'll Wait

And now time for another great Van Halen keyboard song. A special thank goes to user Synthartist69 and his video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYeNj4KsXuA which instructed me on how to play that song.
A note on the bassline: it's different from the original one, but it's a mine choice.
The sound comes from The JP8000, which it's being played thru my good old Roland Juno 106, acting as MIDI controller.
Unfortunately my Juno is now suffering for dead voice chips, so it cannot sing in this video at that time.
The patch being used here it's the regular, used and abused 2-oscillators detuned sawtooth sound that you find in tons of songs out there. I've added some filter envelope in order to have a fast raising attack and slow decay, as you can hear in the synth line of the original song, and a little touch of resonance for making the sound a bit brighter.
Sorry for my not-the-best keyboard skills :-P. Any comment or criticism, while being constructive, it's really appreciated. Enjoy and thanks!

Nice version. You're right, I could do with an analog synth.

@spiderpyx WHOOOPS sorry, I have answered with the wrong Youtube account. It was me, mima14031985 which answered to you with the account "luigiratticomo"

Thanks for your comment.

The curious thing it's that I obtained this customized version "casually" while learning how to play like the original. Glad you like it.

Is that an Oberheim?

[mima14031985]

@JustinC721 Well, it really would be my dream, but unfortunately no, it's not an Oberheim. The lower one (on which I play Jump) it's a Roland Juno 106, the upper one (the one on which I play 1984) it's a Roland JP-8000. The sound on both songs comes from the JP-8000, I use the Juno 106 for Jump (midi-controlling the JP-8000) as on the JP I have not enough octaves to play the bassline right

Could you explain briefly the patch you are using on the 106 ?

I have several juno 106 and I can't get such a good analog trumpet sound as yours, I must be missing something.

[mima14031985]

The sound in this video doesn't come from the Juno 106 but from the JP-8000 (because of the failed voice chips on the Juno). To obtain a similar sound using the single oscillator of the Juno use both the sawtooth and the PWM waves, use the LFO to modulate the pulse width at a slow rate and apply to the overall sound the Chorus #1. Then configure the filter to have a little bit of resonance and its envelope to have a fast (but not immediate) attack, slow decay and a little bit of release.

@spiderpyx Thanks for your appreciation

wow this was the most "customized" version over here. You watch the video always wondering "what's the next trick he going to do". Cool playing Good job!

@mima14031985

You seem to know alot of synthesizers, could you help me get a closer sound on my subdivisions cover?

I almost like your version better than the original
