Van Halen Jump Cover on KORG R3

This is me again playing bits and pieces (the main idea, if you will) of Van Halen's Jump. The synth being controlled by my keyar is the KORG R3. This is a mighty synth, guys. The R3 ships with a Jump-style preset called "OBJumpr" which is nice, but I made some mods myself to call it my own. I'll admit the audio quality makes this match sound to bassy, but in reality this patch sound isn't so bassy. Pretty much as close as I'm going to get to an Oberheim OB-xa. (Maybe...)

When you plug the midi out from the keytar into the midi in on R3 can you use both sets of keys with the R3 sounds at the same time? Or does only the keytar work, like one at a time?

[VacTrooper]

@kjRockintheMusic Oh yeah, hey, you can play both the R3 and the Keytar at the same time here. You can actually set it to where you CANNOT play the R3's keyboard, just the Keytar, by going into the R3's MIDI settings and selecting Local Control OFF.

I just got my R3 this week, and new to synthesizers. Could I get a copy of your modded OBJumpr too, it should help me quite a bit to learn from it.

[VacTrooper]

@Mistabeen6  Yeah, just give me your email and I'll sent it right over.

Well done. The synth sounds very, very close to the original.

Finally, someone who can play it right! Sometimes wish my r3 had another octave.

[MaunderMusic]

How did you get get all these amazing colours on your keyboard/synth??

[eldorado303]
