Roland D-50 Revolutions Ouverture

To my best abilites I tried to imitate Jarre's Revolution Industrielle Ouverture using a D-50 and two D-550 tone modules. The "machine run" sound and the strings come from the D-550's, and the solo sould is coming from the D-50 keyboard. Since I only have two hands, a MIDI sequencer was used to drive the D-550 modules for the "machine run" ostinato and the string part.

Why do people on YouTube always play the chorus with single notes? It's two notes at the same time, and the last few bars even three notes.

@SeverityOne Well, the fingering on thirds is not easy, and so I play one note at a time. Also, less mushy that way. But good point. Actually, if you get me sheet music, I will learn the correct way, okay?

I'm not French, but c'est bloody magnifique!

Both the video and your skill.

Monsieur Jarre would be impressed, no?

[dvamateur]

@metaxus2 Ha ha! He would be greatly unimpressed :)

This is pretty good. Like to see you on a stage where Jarres music belongs. Go for it!

Good job.. interesting tweak on the machine run patch.. :)

The solo is not right.. I can work it out in sheet music if you'd like.. ;)

[hallowedsound]

Brilliant!!!

[zzzxtreme]

your stand does not wobble. what brand/model is that stand?

For the effect in the end, try to set the pitchbend range to 12, then you have the sound the way it has to be.

I have got the note sheets as a copy from the Jarre "Songbook 1".

I can scan them and send it as an E-Mail to you.
