The Handshake MGMT keyboard cover (multiple patches layered)

Everyone makes either a Kids cover or an Electric Feel cover. I have made both also but thought I would do a song that is less mainstream but just as great for all the real MGMT fans

For this I used my Fantom XA and created a performance which I then filled up with all the instruments that I would need. I have 16 spaces for patches and used exactly 16 patches. The I used the built in sequencer to record each part. It took about 2 days because I imitated every single sound in the song to make this cover as best as possible

Please let me know what you think of it through rating and leaving comments. The reviews from my Electric Feel cover made me want to make another video and if you guys like this one then I will most likely cover Weekend Wars or Future Reflections or Indie Rokkers or just the whole freaking album.

[PhantomWarlock]

@d10barella yeah I'm down if I have time. what would you want? I'm thinking Miike Snow. Yeasayer. maybe Arcade Fire?

[d10barella]

@PhantomWarlock noooooooooooooo nothing compares to MGMT, you should do It's Working or Siberian Breaks or something.

[PhantomWarlock]

@d10barella Siberian Breaks would be epic. yeah I'm down to do it's working or dan treacy. after this semester I'll have more time and hopefully get a few done. thanks for the request:]

There did you find out how to play that?

I've been searching it for ages, but I can't find it. I'm too lazy to play it by ear, so if anyone could tell me where I could get the music, that would be great :D :)

[PhantomWarlock]

@jacsbalm honestly after attempting to cover this song by ear it gave me so much more respect for the band. I had to hear out and put down over 40 tracks of keyboard instruments to get the effect of MGMT. each part by ear took awhile but was a good challenge to my ears and helps me in the songs I currently produce

[TheBedHeads5]

Cover the KEYBOARD part! Peeeease, I need to know it.

[PUMA789456123]

This fucking terrible It does it seem like you play keyboard, and it's a keyboard cover you should cover the keyboard part.

[angler23babe]
