Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings - ANTR Ending Keyboard Madness - Korg Oasys

That´s the last BC&SL video I´ll post prior to the album release.

A very special friend dared me to play the ending part of the song, where Jordan plays the Continuum line, the moving 16th notes AND some big fat chords!

Since I don´t own a Continuum and I have just 2 hands, I had to addapt this part to a single keyboard. It´s all about layers, portamento, keyzones and velocity.

It took me almost 5 full days of insane practice to get this right. That´s how hard this thing is!

Just a note, this Continuum sound is supposed to be used on Sacrificed Sons (thanks Calmar) and I´m temporarily using it until I program the right sound for ANTR.

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching and don´t forget to rate!

I noticed that the keys you're hitting to trigger the Big Fat Chords are not the root note of the chords. May I ask how you've done that? I've tried doing this on my M50, and ended up having the Continuum and Chords on the same keys, only separating them by velocity. So if I hit a note hard, it triggers a minor chord of from that root note, and if I hit it lightly, it triggers the continuum...

I'd like to know how you've done it :)

Hi Sarrgas, I'll try to explain why I mapped that way. I didn't care about the root notes, the important thing was to mix the fingering of both Continuum and BFChords layers. Those chords are SAMPLED (it's not sequenced, nor midi) so I can assign each chord to a particular note that I find easier to trigger while doing the Continuum part. The Chords are triggered by velocity, so I can play the same Continuum note withou the Chords if I need to. Did I make any sense?? LOL Good luck

I guess you'd better use Native Instruments FM8's Continuum sound...there's a preset called "Boost"....Take a look of it ;) That's amazing!
