If there is no factury patch, which library does you recommend to buy? Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
I know it is not the Kronos, but the best Tony Banks piano sound I have ever achieved is with Pianoteq and its CP80 model running through a chorus effect. Instant Tony Banks! _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

I have purchased this bank and for me it is very impressing and worth every €. _________________ Kronos 2 88, Roland AX-Synth, 2x Roland A-800 Pro, Behringer Vocoder VC340, Synton Vocoder, Neo Instruments Ventilator 2, Panda MIDI Beam, Joh.P.Andresen Harmonium, Studiologic SL990, Beyerdynamic DT770/880, FL Studio, Shure WH20, AKG WMS470, Shure SE535, Xenyx Control 1, U-Phoria UMC404HD, Visaton Monitor, Gig Performer, PreSonus Studio 26c, Macbook Pro |

I absolutely LOVE the pre-pop Genesis. Maybe we could discuss what he's doing musically, as opposed to how he achieves those tones.
One thing I figured out is there is a LOT of chordal work where he's playing either a major 2nd in the bass, or pedaling over a dominant 7th in the bass. Great example would be Mad Man Moon, where the first two chords in the verse are Em/D to D/C (he even flirts with an F# in the Em chord.

Quite often I've seen a 9 Sus4 over the root, which he almost always played as a triad one step below the root. So a C9Sus4 chord would simply be played as a Bb chord (7th, 9th, and the suspension) over a C root.
Tony was always good at grabbing weird chords and making them work and sound as natural as a simple I-IV-V.

There's quite in an depth analysis of Tony's composition techniques in a book called "Sounding Out Pop" by Kevin Hudson. Chapter 5. Amazonally available. |

qqquartzzz - thanks so much for the recommendation about that book, Sounding Out Pop.
There are 2 reviews on Amazon for this book. One of them states:
"I was looking at this type of book to see if there was any kind of music theory information that would help me compose and perform. Nothing there. But, some of the articles are interesting in a historical context."
Since I'm really looking for examples of musical theory, I don't think this book is for me. Not to mention it is hard to find and expensive too!
I appreciate the heads up though.

Square waves. One at 16', one at 8' (an octave above) and you have the filter resonate at 5 1/3 (perfect fifth) above the the 8'. Think Hammond drawbars and that's the first 3. Now, the filter will resonate a Sine wave, but that's okay. ADSR is Attack is a little above 1 1 (so it doesn't pop at the beginning of the note) Decay at 0, Sustain at full, and release at 2. (Adjust that to taste.)
This is the sound he used as an organ for several years, generated on his Prophet-10. When I had mine I was able to duplicate it exactly.
It's the sound you'll hear on "Abacab," ford example.
But don't forget: Tony used a ton of outboard gear to process his sounds. The synth on "Abacab" is a good example- it's a simple sawtooth program on the Arp Quadra, but he put it through a fuzzbox to get that buzzy sound. Even the Organ went through a MXR Phase 100 a lot of the time. (FYI, he liked MXR effects a lot.)

Cool.
Whilst I knew he used the Prophet for the organ sounds, I always wondered quite how he he got the organ sound, which was always quite passable for the type of organ sound he was using. _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

This thread reminds me of something - Banks was the first (and only) synth player I've ever seen live who held a chord on his synth (Prophet) and pushed the different preset buttons rhythmically, effectively changing patches on the fly and on the beat - kind of like a Wavestation years before it was developed(?) _________________ Korg Karma module, Kronos61, SEQUENTIAL PRO3, DSI OB6, Oberheim OB8, XStation25, Yamaha MFC (for Karma Pads), Omnisphere, guitars by Tom Anderson, Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, D'Angelico, Parker, Line6, Guitar Processors by Fractal Audio, Amplification by Mesa, Carvin, w/Celestion V30(!) |

"Who Dunnit" fro Abacab. It was a Prophet-5 especially set up for this purpose, and Tony had to wear earphones to play to a drum track.
Few people actually realize how innovative Tony was as a synth/sampler programmer. If you think back, her never re-used synth sounds on songs- he always came up with new things.

I remember bringing home the Ababcab album and dropping it onto the turntable.
Total bummer. I listened to it a few times thinking maybe I was missing something. It was the end of an era, I was embarrassed. But they still played the old stuff a shows, I distinctly remember Who Dunit in concert where Banks climbed up some kind of ladder to play that Prophet part. Did her wear sunglassess too? Trying to remember...
Decades later I played Abacab (and Turn it On) with my prog band. Luckily they were easy enough so that I could duplicate them exactly. So there was an upside to that record... heheh _________________ Korg Karma module, Kronos61, SEQUENTIAL PRO3, DSI OB6, Oberheim OB8, XStation25, Yamaha MFC (for Karma Pads), Omnisphere, guitars by Tom Anderson, Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, D'Angelico, Parker, Line6, Guitar Processors by Fractal Audio, Amplification by Mesa, Carvin, w/Celestion V30(!) |

All interesting anecdotes.
I am more of a classic Genesis man (Wind And Wuthering was the last of an era for me, and he loss of Hackett was more of a loss than Gabriel IMO), but I still liked what they went on and did, recognising that you can't be stuck in a rut (that aint progressive!).
I do remember hearing Abacab the song on Three sides live and loving it, but, like so many songs I heard live for the first time from Genesis and Yes, I found the studio version so lame. Ditto for Dodo. _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

It was "All in a Mouses Night," "Eleventh Earl of Mar," "One for the Vine," and Unquiet..." for me. They are classic Genesis.
But Hackett wasn't really completely involved with that album- it was a Tony Banks highlight. He was involved, or wrote over halh of the pieces on that album.
